Humbly returning to social media to announce I'm writing a modern AU Fear & Hunger fanfiction that I'm incredibly invested in. #fearandhunger #funger #fear&hunger #fanfiction

Hi friends! I'm having a double hernia repair tomorrow. Because the surgery is open and not laproscopic, I have to miss six weeks of work for recovery. If there's anything you can give to help, it's so appreciated. #gofundme

My nonbinary spouse and I haven't even had our one year anniversary yet and now we get this news. I really wish leaving the US was more financially viable in 2025.
It's my spouse's uncle's retirement party and we look adorable. (I'm dressed like it's actually MY retirement party.)
this is a teeny, tiny, teeny-tiny ask. it is not "purity politics" or whatever nonsense you wanna throw at it. it's basic. if you can't commit to this you pose a present danger to marginalized people, which means you can't complain if you don't get somebody's vote.
TOO MUCH (Dunham/Felber, 2025)
Watching the finale of Too Much amidst a PMDD flare-up had me ugly crying soooo hard

Happy International Nonbinary People's Day to my spouse, Andy Elianora!

Listen to the marginalized people who warned all this would happen when we say what's coming next, not those who told you it could never happen here.
God, this fucking toilet of a country.
Nearly finished with AMERICAN RAPTURE by @ceejthemoment.bsky.social and it's so charming after two years of living in Wisconsin (for a gory zombie apocalypse book, I mean). The cheeky reference to Mars Cheese Castle and the scenes at House on the Rock are such a delight.
Go get CUCKOO while it's on discount! It's moving, horrific, and tender. Gretchen Felker-Martin is a writer who depicts queer people as people, with all our flaws and ugliness and beauty.
Finally watching Enter the Void. Didn't even make it through the title sequence before I had to pause it and recommend it to my partner.This is incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNtx...

I work captioning phone calls for the deaf and hear a lot of upsetting content because of the nature of the job. My boss would become a wet, dripping megaphone made of flesh and bone that's endlessly shouting terrible things so loud that your ears ring.

To me, workplace horror is any job where you're disposable and expected to be an anonymous punching bag, whether that's because the work itself is so grueling or because you're being screamed at by customers just to make ends meet.

It varies! In my book American Garbage the characters join a reality show from all walks of life, but most are in poverty and stuck in the endless grind of working in food, retail, and customer service. Typically their jobs are sources of pain and obstacles to overcome.
What actor's expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?
I have muscular dysphonia. RFK is an evil fascist and he has it too. People mocking RFK's voice sends the message that they would also mock my voice if they had the opportunity. Making fun of someone's disability harms everyone with that disability. It's also just not funny. #disabled
WOW! New dream job!!!!
Thank you! It is!
Thank you! I can't go into too much detail but that's essentially what I do! It has a challenging learning curve but after some training it's pretty enjoyable work.
Thank you, Beverley! I've been doing it for six years now and enjoy it.

Hi everyone! My first book (querying) AMERICAN GARBAGE, is about a reality show that dissolves into chaos when the contestants competing for $10m discover even death doesn't stop the cameras from rolling. I work captioning phone calls for the deaf!
No, this opening scene I'm writing where a gay man on a train in Texas is attacked by a creature with a head like the sun in the medieval heliocentric model of the universe isn't a metaphor for ANYTHING! Why do you ask?
This is the craziest time to be a horror writer because I'm like "okay, I'm going to stop thinking about all these real life fascist monsters and go think about the metaphor-for-fascism monsters that live in my head now."
Uh ohhhh she's writing a new horror novel about the gays!!! Book number two is underway!
The people standing up to those Nazi fucks in LA are heroes.
the state of the world + a whole bunch of stinkbugs somehow squeezing into my apartment was the perfect combo to bring me back to bluesky, apparently
new professional photos 🌸🩷
