Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

I need to make more zines

today was one of those “it comes with a free frogurt! but the frogurt is cursed” kind of days

She’s done!

Don't ever tell me that being goofy is something I'm supposed to grow out of. Goofy is for life. I'll go to my grave goofy

I’m finally watching Incantation. Four minutes in and I am Afraid.

I miss a lot about my pre-disabled life, but I really miss seeing my most-hyped movies in theaters. If I don’t see Longlegs soon I will perish.

I Saw The TV Glow didn’t feel like a horror movie to me for most of it, but the scary parts were…so scary. Specifically, those screams?? Make no mistake, I loved it. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I WILL be getting a Pink Opaque tattoo.

this was fun

if you see this, (1) grab scrap paper (post-it, envelope, etc) and writing implement (2) draw a garfield or a spongebob or both (do not look them up) (3) share if you wanna!!!

I recommend taking five to ten minutes to put your US rep, US senators, and state and local elected officials into your phone contacts so you can instantly call them whenever you get mad, which will be every day from now until we die.
