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!

The army is killing Gaza civilians as they seek the scarce aid allowed in through the blockade. Direct donations are presently the safest means for their survival. Please consider donating to my dear friend Tasneem at the link, and help others here if you can. 🙏❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-tasne...

Everything sucks but here’s a dog with incredible hair

My beloved Fdot and I have a lunch date planned, but for whatever reason, he insists that we watch IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE now, and... Sweet Honkin’ Horchatas, despite all the fucking orange and teal, I'm digging the shit out of this! Well chosen, my Beloved!

Journalists in 2025: “Follow me on X (owned by a Nazi and overrun by Nazis) or Substack (where Nazis are welcomed and monetized). Never mind all those Nazis, look at me.”

Fun Freely Flourishing Fascism Fact!

It’s wild how much billionaire, landlord, and Big Tech money it takes to manufacture a frontrunner. Cuomo has universal name ID and still needs an army of super PACs to compete with a 33-year-old most New Yorkers hadn’t even heard of when this race began.

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

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 flakedÂą, 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?

đź§µ 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
