I cannot fathom any reality where I teach for 30 years. I’m literally counting down the remaining 19 years until I can retire. Doing this for 30 (or more) years seems completely fucking insane to me.

Violent Night was altogether too much fun.

Rose Glass and @a24 using Bronski Beat has more than just the vibe of the movie in mind. The song itself and the accompanying music video have some tonal connective tissue, as well: youtu.be/88sARuFu-tc?...

Ritual comes in all forms, so we've asked some of the best & brightest to tell us about their favourites. Today, @edenroyce.bsky.social espouses the virtues of the 1997 film Eve's Bayou: "It gets so much about hoodoo, southern gothic & the cultural milieu right." Pop it on your watchlist!

Went to the barber this morning and on their sign for what they offer there was a notable entry: “Man facial - $25” I’ve paid way more for a facial from a man so honestly this is a steal.

I think some of my all-time favorite things I’ve learned this year include: 1) It’s supposedly physically impossible to get an erection in space. 2) Michael Jackson was a crip. 3) Rasputin insulated his house with human hair. You’re welcome.

Just conferenced with a couple of my non-native speakers who are unfortunately failing. I say “failing” because obviously no one really fails, but these are kids I know can do better. I hate having to be bad cop. I just wanna be the weird, funny teacher all the time.

This is going to be great, especially as it's part of a panel with some fantastic authors!

The Society's upper echelons have a particular taste for folk horror, so it seems fitting that we'll round-off Writing the Occult: Ritual with a panel featuring some of the best and darkest in that realm. One of those writers? It's only @robertottone.bsky.social! Meet him in the replies...
