Former lab rat, current bon vivant, future cautionary tale. Insisting on persisting in this relentlessly roiling morass of madness. Love is real, Love is the answer, Love is the fulfillment of the Law. We will fix our hearts or we will die, fun fact!

Hey, speaking of delightful surprises brought by mail, check out this treat what the postm'n done brung me, eh? Got myself a great big box of #Munchkin, I did, but this was the clear outstander among all the many lovelies!

Ooooh, who wants to buy a rat a nice summer solstice present?

Your Juneteenth watchlist * Miss Juneteenth * The Blackening * Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror * Horror Noire - the @shudder.com anthology film I bet you never saw! Includes my first adaptations: "The Lake" and "Fugue State" (co-starring Tony Todd!!!)

Daaaaang, but HELL MOTEL (not to be confused with MOTEL HELL) is teasing me most tantalizingly, eh?

Was gonna wait till we'd finished the first episode of HELL MOTEL to comment, but Eric McCormack playing David Warner playing Gordon Ramsay is just too fucking incandescently transcendent for me to keep quiet, so I'm saying it now, it's said, right, shutting up now! Sorry!! #HellMotel #HemingwayTime

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

As a fact rat, I also need everyone to know these utterly joyful facts, facts to fill one's ever-beating heartmeat with hope instead of gloom-buds. You gotta keep the gloom-buds outta your system, fun fact! Let them get a griphold and they'll wreck you, so fill up with dolly unity instead!

I tentatively peek back into the real world for a moment during my well-deserved vacation from frantically unfolding frightful facts, and the first fucking thing I see is this collection of the worst fucking flourishing fascism facts possible. I'm going back to bed now. #feh #pfui

Yowza, going full-metal-nitpicker on a simple attempt to take a photo of part of my To Read pile¹ successfully kept my mind off... you know, fucking *EVERYTHING*?!, for thirty minutes. Highly Ratty-Recommended Indeed as a way to zone out for a bit! Growlix's judgmental glare² just fed my fire!

i want to go to Crawfish Street www.sixthtone.com/news/1002487

We're watching DEATH OF A UNICORN, and I can't believe I'm having an argument with my somehow beloved Fdot over whether Paul Rudd and his angsty daughter just ran over a unicorn or maybe it was a deer or something. What's the title of the fucking movie?!? I shriek in vain.

Last Cool Boost for now! I promised my beloved Fdot last night that we would watch CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, since I haven't shut up about how awesome @adamcesare.bsky.social's original novel is since it was published, but then I flaked¹, so here's where I make it up to him! ______ 1. I was so sleepy!

I still remember the days when @fuckmaxbooth.bsky.social was going quietly insane behind a hotel night desk, and now he's got a right solid body of work and a small press and a bookstore with a flooding problem. The webstore is a rich banquet of horror and perversity, help out and check it out!

Hokey-fulminate-of-smokes, can you *believe* this deal? A trifling $6 for the physical zine bundle and a yet triflinger 99¢ for the e-zines? And the first ten are also still available? #SOLD

Fun FANGORIA Facts Fact!

Gavin Newsom. Why did it have to be Gavin Newsom?

🧵 I argue that we can understand the functioning of democracy through 3 core ideals, verification, deliberation and accountability. While no democracy fully achieves those ideals, this thread explains how MAGA destroys all three and inevitably results in democratic regression into authoritarianism.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 88 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS 50501 Protest” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

TONIGHT: #ICEOUT Protest in San Francisco

So I’m watching the so-called “Tony Awards” to be all “clever” and such, I’m about to drop some very A+ snark, when Michael Arden pipes up with “Empathy is not a weakness!” and I remember, like, oh yeah... these are my peeps, these are the music makers, the dreamers of dreams, maybe park the snark?

Fun Freely Flourishing Fascism Fact!

Lotsa stuff happened earlier, long story short, my beloved Fdot requires me to watch the Tony Awards by way of recompense, so we're doing that now, just so you know how much I love that crazy freaky critter, this is how much I love him, we're watching the Tony Awards together, that much is how much.

Anyway, finally got SINNERS rolling and we're like thirteen minutes in and I'm utterly enchanted entirely on a "woah, old-school Southern crime shenanigans I love this stuff!" level and we haven't even gotten to the horror yet, right, gotta shush, my thirty-second social media exception is expirin

So anyway, guess it's time to finally watch SINNERS right here in the comfort of the Lair, all thanks to the magic of modern streaming technology! Uh, right after my “beloved” FDot finishes watching this one last YouTube analysis of the WICKED: FOR GOOD trailer. Just one more, he promises....

Forgot to mention that in the sweet afterglow of #TheLastDriveIn, we're all huddled around the soft glow of the tee-vee, watching PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, and gawt-dang but if this ain't a bunch of old-school fun, eh?

Look, I'm not meaning to say anything, but I'm just saying that if you want people to be scared of your movie's Satan figure or whomever, maybe don't make them all heckin' digitigrade tail-hoisting sexy-hawt, maybe? #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

five minutes left! get those last minute laughs in for a chance at FREE ART! #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

Fun Fleeing Fascists Fact!

I wonder how much they had to pay Steven Ogg to get him to trim his magnificent horseshoe moustache down to a mere walrus? #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

Woah... maybe those "FANGO should cover wrestling too!" folx were onto something? I am currently reconsidering my smug dismissal of their concerns, fun fact.

Anyone remember the brief period back in the Ancient Age when a bunch of fans of both wrestling and horror teamed up to urge @fangoria.bsky.social to become a half-horror/half-wrestling magazine? That was weird, fun fact. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam
