When I was, like, six years old I had my birthday party at Barnes & Noble — so this is really special!

If you live in Austin, TX, come hang out at B&N with me next weekend, and talk about your favorite Star Wars starfighter. @dkbooks.bsky.social

If it wasn't for the community of friendly sickos who dominate Fantastic Fest and are Going Through It with you, the experience would be masochistic.

Shout-out to folks like @instalyssa.bsky.social, @jasonkauz.bsky.social, and @tracedthurman.bsky.social who helped me stay sane.
Seeing movies at Fantastic Fest sometimes means “sitting with an uncomfortable emotion, knowing that pain and discomfort is possible because the festival community also makes space for catharsis and release,” @alanzilberman.bsky.social writes. crookedmarquee.com/alan-zilberm...

And don’t shy away from “cringe”. Cringing means you feel something and that’s what art is supposed to do. And sometimes, making you cringe is the creator’s intent. Art isn’t solely about feeling comfort or pleasure.
I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Working on an extremely cool, very major Fango project with @jasonkauz.bsky.social and I can't wait to tell you guys more! But I will wait, because I'm a tease.

Not long after being put in a casket he introduced me to @instalyssa.bsky.social. Years later Alyssa and I got married and nice guy Phil who introduced us officiated it!

Yes, we signed our marriage license on the President’s desk from Idiocracy.

$13,000 for Pepe’s life-saving care was worth it. In less than two weeks, this pug went from completely unable to walk to trotting about better than before, 100% on his own.

THANK YOU EVERYONE who has stepped up to support Team Pepe & slashing our medical debt it half 🙏 He’re to more recovery 🖤🐾
Pepe could still use some support during his miraculous (but expensive) recovery 🩵🩵
This past weekend, @jasonkauz.bsky.social’s lovable pug, Pepe, suffered an accident & needed live-saving care.

The good news: IT IS WORKING.

The rough stuff: We could really use some help getting Pepe back on his feet.

Any donation or share is beyond appreciated 🤍 - AV & JK

My wife @instalyssa.bsky.social knows I am very bad at asking for help and set up a gofundme to help us cover the ER and surgery. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, reached out, sent positive vibes and shared Pepe’s story.

300 bucks shy of the goal in a day. Horror fans and the Fango fam are the best 🐾
Pepe has surgery this week to alleviate a painful condition, and he’s at home recovering, but his roommates have spread themselves a bit thin to keep homie alive. If you’re able to help, even if it’s $5, I’d appreciate it. Prayers up for Pepe! www.gofundme.com/f/snorts-sno...

Putting up the bat signal! The fam needs our help! Many of us know firsthand how horrifying and stressful it is to save your best friend and then get slammed with a mountain of impossible debt. Lend a paw if you can and spread the word. We love you, Pepe the Pug Prince 💚🐾

This is every pet owner’s nightmare, and no one should have to deal with it while also stressing out about how they’re going to pay for it all. Please help my friends take care of precious Pepe 🖤✨
