Frustrated that Alberta made it so hard to get flu and Covid shots this year. Cheered to hear that in my area, patient demand is higher than expected. Lucky to now be double jabbed, and not have to pay $140 for the privilege. (If having an autoimmune condition counts as luck?)

Look, I am an imperfect Amazon avoider. Sometimes I really need a specific item and can't find anyone else to ship it to rural Canada.

But let's stop shopping 'deal days'. Amazon hurt their workers all year round, but it ramps up during sales.

Amazon’s warehouses are especially dangerous for workers during the company’s annual Prime Day event, as well as the holiday season, according to an investigation by the US Senate.

Missed a few Skeets, but we're keeping up with the daily movies! Clown in a Cornfield was #4, and a ton of fun.

You might recognize lead actor Katie Douglas from Ginny & Georgia - what a talent!

Day 3 called for some horror-comedy; we always have a few of these on the list! And Deadtectives was suitably ridiculous. It's no Deathgasm or Tucker & Dale vs Evil, but still hit the spot.

Day 2 of #halloweenhorrorwatch was The Vigil - proving Catholicism doesn't have a total monopoly on religious horror. Best watched in total darkness to maximize the creeping sense of dread...

Every year, hubs and I try to watch 31 horror movies in October. Our record is 27 (life happens) - can we make 2025 a perfect score?

First up tonight was Dangerous Animals (2025) - Aussie shenanigans, surfers and sharks!

There's still room on the list - any recs for #halloweenhorrorwatch ?

Lovely people of #scriptsky : I have a 95 page horror feature that I could really use some notes on. Would anyone be up for a script swap?

Even if you could give my first 10 pages a read, I'd be super grateful. I can also offer other wordsy editing/proofing/copy services in return!

Adding to my writing mantras: write like your parents will never read it.
Don't be afraid to be you on the page. The barest you, the most naked, exposed, and self-deprecating. Write like your parents will never read it. That's the person readers are dying to get to know. Deep down in those depths is where you will find that elusive "voice" for your stories.

Last time we spoke, my mother called me 'cynical'. Lovingly, with a laugh - still, it stung. She prefers not to think about the state of the world. I spare her most of my ideas. But every so often, a truth must told. I hope if people hear it, our world might change. Nothing cynical about that.

I just saw a suicide note on LinkedIn...

I hope they didn't go through with it. I hope somehow they'll be okay.

And I'm sick of all the bullshit conversations about 'mental health', wilfully ignoring the fact that neoliberal capitalism is breaking us all.
