Spending this Xmas morning being lazy in bed with my coffee and a cracker of a story in When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy 🐺 😱 The monster doesn’t seem to be quite what I was expecting and I love when that happens 🖤☠️🖤

✨🌟Happy Solstice, witches 🌟✨

It’s time to start releasing intentions for the coming year. Personally, I intend to spend more time loving up my dog 🐶, savouring my morning coffees ☕️, and reading my piles of books instead of the endless doomscroll 📚

Saturday morning with my giant mug of coffee and this #cursedobject I found in an antiques mall this week. Am I reading this book, or is it reading me? 💀👀

How do I mute any mentions of that vile heap of shit occupying the US presidency, but also request all the push notifications possible when he has finally breathed his last fetid breath? I want buzzing, bells, lights, whistles… all the things, the second that fucker is dead. Until then, I need rest.

This weekend I read (via audiobook) the book generally referred to as the first gothic horror. The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, first published in 1764, is proof that gaslighting dickheads like the main antagonist, Manfred, are eternal.

My idiot neighbour is playing sad drinking music for a sad drinking person. Started at 0930 this morning, it’s now 1430. Volume pinned, all his windows apparently open. Probably sobbing in his underwear and clutching a glass of gin… he seems like a gin guy. Some of us are trying to work, dickhead!

It must be the fundamentalist christians’ turn to perform the presidential flufferage this week - ain’t nobody who loves to see women feel pain as much as a “good christian” loves to see it 🙄 #tylenol

Donald Jellybelly Trump cried big sad baby tears to get mean Jimmy’s show taken off the air and apparently ABC loves the taste of tiny orange dick.

Reading Parable of the Sower, and the fact that over 30 years ago, Ms. Octavia Butler wrote this piece of speculative dystopia set in present-time with so many incredibly relevant and accurate depictions of current American reality is blowing my actual mind. She was a time traveller.

They weren’t just rich creeps.

Trump, Epstein, Casablancas, and Brunel were part of an organized, predatory network of pedophiles—using modeling contests, private dinners, and fake opportunities to prey on teenage girls.

Here’s how they worked together in plain sight.

Withered Hill by David Barnett gets all five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me! A very enjoyable and unexpected folk horror tale, with a lot of heart.

Listened to The Possession of Natalie Glasgow by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social yesterday on a drive into the city and was not prepared. The ☠️ and the 😾 and the 😭, all packed into about 90 minutes. Still thinking about it. And could @manylittlewords.bsky.social read aloud to me every day, plz?

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Ann Coulter is the fugliest orc bitch to ever emerge from the stinking orc pit. I hope she fucking dies from an easily preventable disease and we never have to see her disgusting punchable face ever again. I won’t even attach the screenshot of her hateful post because it’s too vile.
