💀 co-ghost AUTOPSY OF A HORROR MOVIE

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

@90sCourt I read weird fiction and talk about it! Horror, scifi, fantasy, speculative, short stories, poems, novels

I try to find the sweet spot of:
- interesting & diverse authors
- available free online/at libraries
- weird, thoughtful, strange

Anyway, another entry in "why are Millenials like this" 🌟

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

It's cool watching what amounts to our generation's public squares constantly being ruined and our connections severed

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

Like fictional horror is great and all but we've watched real life communities DIE

[James Baldwin Quotes @quotesbybaldwin]

Precisely at the point when you begin to develop a conscience you must find yourself at war with your society.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.

@ClassiestWtches @dustin_holden @AAOPodcast Marina as a grown up alternate Jane would be an amazing story line!!

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

@ClassiestWtches @dustin_holden @AAOPodcast How are you liking the show? Any fave characters so far??

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

@dustin_holden Thanks, D!

Warning, this video might enrage you, because the book bans and creeping christofascism around the US is deeply troubling and Rachel highlights a lot here

@dustin_holden Wild @ Heart, because of the amazingly well done angst

I was partial to Oz/Willow and I was sad when he left to do movies

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

Yeah.. I don't want to be a part of any "what genitals were you born with?" book clubs, thank you

Like.. that's never come up in any of my previous book clubs. At all

[thesecondshelf.bsky.social @secondshelfbks]

When we were trying to understand what anti-trans women in our shop were going on about, BOOK GROUPS CAME UP SEVERAL TIMES. Women were afraid of having trans women show up to their book clubs. But as far as we know men can come to book clubs focused on women writers...so?!?

[Aurelien @spookyaurelien]

@Wiswell How do you feel about The Omen?
