Ballad of a Small Player was watchable. Colin Farrell and especially Fala Chen were good. There was a scene on the waterfront which made me understand and care about their characters with an effortless and surprising gentleness, and I wish the movie had lived up to that.

I've started watching My Brilliant Friend on HBO and it isn't afraid about taking its time. It delivers, but it has a patience and respect for the viewer that I find very refreshing.

October!

This year I wrote a horror novel called UNDEAD HUNGRY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY. It's a demented and unrepentant splatterpunk love story about a girl and her grandmother.

Halloween is the only holiday where you get rewarded for being bad. For people like you and me? It is our high holy day.

Videos show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I wrote some upsetting and funny horror books!

1. SUMMER IS ENDED: Slasher movies always forget summer camps are filled with children.

2. UNDEAD GRANDMOTHER: Family can forgive, but let's make it gross enough so the reader won't!

My book of dirty stories is full of math, ghosts, chess and country music. It is sweet and kind and just a bit bewildering. The Girl who Couldn't Come is back in print after almost ten years, and it is perfect for reading out loud to someone who feels too far away.

Today I got rained on. I forgot how alive you feel when out of nowhere it just starts POURING rain. Nature hides in the background a lot of the time, and then suddenly it is so powerful and all around you that it feels like everything. You feel like an idiot for forgetting it at all.

In 2022 I uploaded almost 100 hours of detailed video reviews of different diecast cars.

I only note this for future historians who need proof that in addition to being a brilliant writer, I'm also autistic AND I have a sexy voice.

it is friday the 13th. maybe it would be relaxing to your heart to read a summer-camp slasher movie in the form of a novel?

my book THE SUMMER IS ENDED AND WE ARE NOT YET SAVED is back in print, and available in various ebook formats.
