Hello #BlueSky
These are my cats Noodle and Cecil. I had to take both of them to the vet for shots and medication for Noodle's FCV. If you can donate, or even just share with a quote post so I can pay off my credit card, we would be deeply appreciative. #PromoSky #CatSky #MutualAid #CommunityCare

This is my favorite horror movie of 2025 so far! Osgood Perkins is a freaking genius. I ADORED everything about this absurd romp through the mind of one of the best modern horror filmmakers!

Movie poster for director Osgood Perkins horror comedy The Monkey, based on a short story by Stephen King. The poster is in a vintage style, with an image of the monkey, an organ grinder's monkey that plays a drum, and is surrounded by a pool of blood.

I'm gonna be messy over here because this behavior is sickening, and common, and fucking needs to stop.

If someone opens their message with this, and you continue on with the conversation, you don't fucking get to then turn around and say that you were trauma dumped on without consent. 🎯

Re-uploading with alt text and a hearty thanks for the reminder why I hate it here. How are you all "progressive" with ZERO fucks to give about how easy it should be to make your important political content accessible?

#AltText #Accessibility
Black and white image featuring A historical photograph of four Native American individuals—two adults and two children—sitting together. Above the photo is a bold text message that reads: "The biggest genocide in human history didn’t occur in Nazi Germany, but on American soil. 100 million Native Americans were slaughtered and lost their homeland. Historical fact: Most of the people doing the slaughtering were Christians. Sorry if you can’t handle the truth." The message aims to highlight the scale and perpetrators of the genocide of Native Americans in U.S. history.

Hi, hello, yes, this series is my new favorite Alice in Wonderland retelling. In case you needed MORE proof Black women just do everything so so much better than anyone else. This struggle with identity is the most true to the spirit of the original I've read yet.

#BlackBookSky #DiverseBookSky
The cover of the book A Dream So Dark, by author L L McKinney, a Black woman with an afro, wearing a purple sweater with a black shirt under, black jeans and black leather boots superimposed over a black heart on a red background. The title is written in white over the rest of the picture, with the author's name, and the phrase a nightmare verse book across the bottom.

How old do these men look?

I'm not saying Idris Elba looks the same age as John Boyega, I am saying he does not look "too old" to play James Bond. If HE doesn't want to because of his age, but YA'LL need to stop acting like 52 is the new 102. #JamesBond

Final Destination franchise ranked:

I just realized I do like 5 better than 3, and 4 is just the worst, hands down no matter who you are.

Happy Caturday!

My two sons, Cecil the fur son, and "Luthor", my skin son.

A young white man with light brown hair is cuddling a fluffy, tabby cat. He is gently kissing the cat on the head while holding it close. The cat has long fur with dark and light stripes and appears calm. A light-colored, shiny fabric object is visible in the foreground. The image has a soft, affectionate atmosphere.

I need to read this again. I loved it so much, it was SO unhinged. 😅🤩

Cover of the John Waters novel Liarmouth, with the title diagonal across the face of a plain looking white woman with her teeth bared, wearing a black spaghetti strap tank top. Along the bottom it says a feel bad romance, a novel by John Waters.

Me today.

I've had every bit of creativity sapped from me the past month. Today I get it back, even if it means rotting in bed and doing nothing but reading and working on my book.

Adult Chucky from Rugrats is a cartoon character with messy red hair, glasses, and a distressed expression. He is sitting on the floor hugging his knees. The image is dark and gives a moody, overwhelmed vibe. Text at the top reads, "I don't wanna be a big people anymore."

April was a bit slow, and T Kingfisher was my only 5✨. I of course liked Renegades, and Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but felt that The Hollow Places deserved this spot more for its uniqueness, and the fact that I am STILL horrified by the thought of museum dioramas.

#BookSky📚💙 #ReadingWrapUp
Alt text: A reading wrap-up graphic for the Storygraph user @john_waters_enthusiast for April 2025. It shows they read 12 books, totaling 3,394 pages, with an average rating of 5.0.

Sometimes I forget that I took classes on photo editing for beginners. Most days it's easier for me to throw up an unedited picture of my babies, with simpler alt text.

Today though I need everyone to see and appreciate how beautiful and vintage looking my Noodle girl is.

Happy holiday to those who celebrate today!

I'm *terrified* of my shift at work, but it would make me feel a whole lot better about how busy we're going to be if y'all would help push this video to 100 views by this afternoon. ✨

This cat is only ONE?! 🙀😛

Cecil's body proportions defy logic! 🤣

This is why I had to know for sure if he is a Maine Shag, and whaddaya know he is. 🤭

TW - Bloody eye

Noodle is 5 years old this year, and her FCG is getting worse.

I WILL get shit done today.

If 10oz of coffee and 16oz of Monster isn't enough, I might as well curl up and die. 😵
