Good times do not last forever but neither the bad times. So just enjoy the journey. Text that message. Buy that unreliable car. Propose your girlfriend for marriage. We all will die eventually. Graveyards are full of people who thought they had more time to live.

@paultremblay.bsky.social breaks traditional writing boundaries (as if I understand what that means or even exists). Seems he writes from a combination of imagination and real life experiences (maybe everyone does, but he’s good at it).

📽️ Horror Movie is a psychological mindfuck, unlike anything I’ve ever read. It made me feel stressed out, disturbed, horrified, and INSPIRED - this book is a masterclass for horror writers.

Ignorance happens. Sometimes stuff is confusing and you don’t know what’s true or not. But listen, if you side with the people attacking LIBRARIES, you’re an asshole. You’re not ignorant. You’re not confused. You’re an asshole.

I think the one thing that really upsets me about living in the #UK is that the #uk is not bothered.

There really will be another Southern Reach book, with an expansion of the story, per my other post. Just not a novel and not in an easily recognized category. I just can't talk about it much for a little while longer. ;)

Hey just saying:
Me and my best friend JJ Alexander here are writers and have multiple projects we are both proud of.
However, I personally gotta say that I am proud of this man's work and I don't think I've come across a voice as confident or as unique as this.
Just saying:

Years ago, I theorized that two #horror #monsters just didn’t work in writing: #zombies and #slashers. Many fine writers have proven me wrong on the first count, and now @sgj.bsky.social has REALLY proved me wrong on the second. Wow. Slasher lore plus REDACTED! This novel does NOT disappoint!

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

@sgj.bsky.social This being the 2nd novel of yours I've read, I went blindly (so glad I did). This novel was so impactful it made me weep for a nation I never knew and one I wish to know. A tepid understanding of history is now real to me. Thank you for this beautiful experience #buffalohunterhunter

Feel like I have genuinely encountered this exact same woman and I believe she also told me to read this book called Fourth Wing? Never heard of it but maybe it will tell us that COVID wasn't real and was all hoax started by some unknown source that seems to change every time you talk about it.
I know Covid was bad, but this lady at the gym told me it was all fake, so it’s all good.
