Scent of the day: Vanille Noire du Mexique is moody florals, powdery, balsamic resins and the platonic ideal of a frothy, honeyed hot cocoa enjoyed in a claustrophobic room with creeping yellow wallpaper, sipped in the company of a friend who has a mysterious green ribbon tied around her throat.

I wrote this last year but the sentiment will remain until I die and even my ghost will be banging this drum.

Acquiring a villainous little blanket stealing pup wasn’t on my list of 2026 goals but the universe is a wily rascal sometimes.

I rediscovered a treasure I’d squirreled away years ago: a Peep Land token I found in a used car I bought from a former coworker!
I decided to repurpose it as a vigilant reminder to keep my peepers peeled, because there’s treasures & secrets & magic & mystery everywhere, just waiting to be known!

Mark Lanegan's voice sounded like two stones rubbing together, like gargoyles fucking. It was one of the most beautiful sounds in rock music, and I loved listening to it—he was a gorgeous, devastating musician. But. Jesus Christ. I finished this book, and I felt like I needed an exorcism.

I got a spam comment on my blog today for something I totally forgot I'd written. On making friends as a person who has a hard time making friends, and why I am glad when people have the patience for my slow, anxious, stumbling attempts at friendship. unquietthings.com/some-ramblin...

I bought a used car off a coworker’s husband a few years back and found this token tucked way deep down between the seats. I’ve held onto it these many years as a seedy talismanic reminder to keep my peepers peeled 👁️

Today, I came across an image I sure wish I had seen sooner. The intensity of that deep, gorgeous blue! The mystery of those fleeting celestial messengers! That sense of the vast and unknowable! I would have liked to include it in my forthcoming book! I promise I will spill all the details soon...

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

Vaccine boogaloo, night fever needle edition! Late in the season but I got it done! I’m feeling a bit crummy now and the temperatures have plummeted so it seems a good time to share my blog post of five cozy little things for chilly Florida evenings.

Do you love the glopping slap of wet macaroni? This is for you freaks.
What do head spa scalp scratches and Freddy’s finger knives scraping along walls have in common? Was the first mukbang ASMR you’ve ever seen from homicidal Bever Sutphin’s pov in John Waters’ Serial Mom? I explore all of these questions and more in the current issue of @ruemorguemag.bsky.social

I’ve been thinking about Alison Blickle’s art for years, even before I featured her work in The Art of the Occult. Her practice is a masterclass in what it means to stay alive as an artist.

I have put together a truly elite, like God-tier (some kind of god, anyway)-level marinade this month. Occult, arcane, infernal. Incense and resins out the wazoo. A bit of celery and moss. A lot of shadow and dark, dark poetry. All the good things.

Scent of the day: Arielle Shoshana x Michelle Visage Wednesday. Helena Blavatsky on wilderness retreat, divining eternal mysteries through campfire ash with a spindly stalk of celery. Encountering the sublime in a produce bin bonfire, whether we call it God or Nature or High Priestess of Camp Celery
