I wanna buy a retro 70s van like Bob’s van from Halloween, and then convert the interior into a Regal Beagle cocktail lounge. A girl can dream.

The diner scene in The Birds is brilliant. I would literally watch a one-act play with all the characters in this scene just talking about the “bird war.”

I just saw @shudder.com has both Cujo and Orca on their service right now. Looks like my Wednesday night is sorted. #MutantFam

We had one of these when I was a kid and I thought it meant we were rich. (Spoiler: we were most definitely not.) Also, love the directions to add one teaspoon to its “water hole.”
Box for a 1977 Salton Hot Basket food warmer. Box for a 1977 Salton Hot Basket, with the text: “Keeps baked goods piping hot. Terrific for spare ribs, ckicken and baked potatoes too. Add one teaspoon to its "water hole" and the hot basket can freshen, by steam heating, yesterday's muffins, pastries and pita bread.”

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

I'm not sure the public is aware of how many mammalian species have been infected with #HPAI since the current outbreak started in 2022. The infection rate is increasing across a host of mammal species. Which creates greater risk of exposure to both human & domestic animals. #H5N1 #AvianInfluenza

Finished “You Like It Darker” by Stephen King last night. Loved it, especially “Rattlesnakes” and “The Answer Man.” It had been a while since I read King and it made me hungry to dive into some of his newer stuff that I might have missed, as well as revisit some of his classics. #ReadMoreHorror 📚 💀
