Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

I’m thankful to the first Goosebumps movie for two things: 1) being a very fun movie that doesn’t insult its young target audience by making everything hunky-dory, and 2) without it, I’m not completely sure we get this adaptation of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. And, before I get further into this: I

Hungry-Hungry Houses

I need to write this up formal somewhere (other than that Burnt Offerings intro), but until then, this is great:

Story Research

Just had to watch and watch this for a piece I’m getting together. But, too, it’s always playing in my heart:

Two coolest things in birdland this week

This arrow by mathematician and sculptor Kokichi Sugihara can't point left. Here's how it works: It's 3D-printed with a bunch of curves our brains don't register. pic.twitter.com/Xa32GrI7ii — Khai (@ThamKhaiMeng) August 4, 2019 This kills me everytime I watch it. pic.twitter.com/oJWpHGFgi5 — T (@t_justme) July 30, 2019

Crawl

What are all the crocagator movies? Alligator, Primeval, Lake Placid. I keep hearing about Rogue, but can’t place it, though I’m fairly certain I saw it in the theater. Much like this afternoon’s Crawl. So, in short: it’s nothing but fun. Anybody see Hurricane Heist? It’s got that feel. Just, with monsters. So, with no

ReaderCon 2019!

I’ve been there before, some three or four times, and it’s always been nothing but a ball, but being a GoH (thanks, Rose Fox!), that was completely different.
