pleasing taste, some monsterism Likes: decadent food, witchy ritual, noisy music, 80s horror on VHS, woodland walks, RPGs, David Lynch, Jan Švankmajer, industrial-strength performance art / physical theatre, books.

Hey @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social What have you got against films on a Saturday?
Do you like strange, ominous rumbling with ritualistic bass repetition -- and cartoon jump scares? Sparking up a new musical project, BONEWITCHPUNK, with a first track out on the LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS compilation from @camembert-elec.bsky.social
Yeah, what's the beef? Is the beatiful percussion of helicopter concertos not a vibe any more? If there was a jar of mayonnaise in there, I would have ticked that too.
The sixth of SIX SONGS is played. What doors have been opened by the music heard? CALEDONIAN GOTHIC series finale available now on all podcatchers and at calgothpod.bandcamp.com/album/six-so... #horror #audiodrama #ritual #cassette
Wow, so close to a numerical milestone. I never thought my strange wee ritualistic horror audio drama would reach so many earholes. I'll try to manifest a shower of boombox-shaped balloons over the 15,000th listener. Thank you. The fifth of SIX SONGS is out now on all streaming platforms.
Almost 15,000 people can't be wrong (well, even the briefest glance at the news shows otherwise, but i'm sure these 14,900 people aren't wrong like that)
Some key texts while I try to figure out what is happening. New Caledonian Gothic episode tomorrow. #audiodrama #podcast #horror #ritual
I personally think the em-dash is the most superior out of all the punctuation marks available — Alt-0151 FTW. Turns out I am not the only one peeved that its use is percieved as a tell of AI use. The answer: The Am-Dash It's pretty graceful. www.theamdash.com

For reasons unfathomable to me now, I never read any Poppy Z Brite. I picked up Swamp Foetus yesterday at the @cymerafestival.co.uk stall and his line immediately cast me under her spell. I must have read it 5 times.
THE DESIRE OF THE MOTH FOR THE STAR AT LEAST SAVES HER SATIETY Have you heard it yet? calgothpod.bandcamp.com/album/six-so... & all podcast apps
I made a @weefuzzy.bsky.social themed plunderphonics album. Great news for people with ears and short attention spans who love copyright infringement. harlequinade.bandcamp.com/album/plunde...
Ongoing experiment in "I don't think I am very good at drawing but I enjoy it and what even is 'good' anyway so I am going to draw regularly".
It has blown their wee minds that they can just put a game up on @itch.io and that people will download it and play it. They are always making up tabletop games but this is the first they have put out their in the world. Honestly, among the top moments of fatherly pride.
The kids and I did our first game jam. If anyone wants a fast-paced, trick-taking, social deduction game based on gruseome folklore, you may wish to risk a journey down REDCAP ROAD. stickytoffeelavahell.itch.io/redcap-road
I mean, as far as opening lines go, it's very distracting. Of course I am going to go listen to Liquid Swords before continuing. (From Steven Hall's (excellent, so far) "Maxwell's Demon")
Up for preorder, out Oct 1. Silent Screams: An Anthology of Quiet Horror, in aid of @mind.org.uk mybook.to/SilentScream...
Quick! Does anyone know how to fix a CD player that won't accept its own tray?
Well this is heartening to stumble across. Thank you for the shout out @erikmchatton.bsky.social 🖤 ivygrimes.substack.com/p/interview-...
Pizza Lasagna 2.0 — now with a layer of spaghetti carbonara* as well as the 8-hour ragu. I hope my kids appreciate me following through with their cockamamie culinary fever dreams. *Obviously not 100% authentic as I suspect that would turn nasty in the oven, but close enough to stay true.
Hungry, Hungry Carnivore has caught something far bigger than its usual prey and I am fascinated by this bug battle.
Sunday morning chilli oil. As my kiddos have a severe peanut allergy and a hunger for new delicious foods, I'm learning to do everything from scratch. It's awesome.
