I’m two degrees of separation from tonight’s movie, having met and hung out with author #JeffStrand who wrote the 2023 novelization
#Svengoolie #AttackoftheKillerTomatoes

Never one to come up short in the mini-story department, #JeffStrand delivers in spades in his latest collection of #shortStories, Snuggling the Grotesque. Anyone who subscribes to his newsletter will be familiar with his ability to write a short story based on anything, but I’d call those shortER stories, or maybe micro-stories. More on my corner.

Hallo und guten Tag, ich bin auf dieser Instanz #NeuHier. Ich bin zwar nicht von meinem “Heimatserver” berlin.social weggezogen (dort drüben bin ich als @FrauBluecher unterwegs), habe aber vor, hier einen Schrebergarten für Gelaber über Musik und Literatur einzurichten, welches dann doch mehr als 500 Zeichen pro Post benötigt. Dafür wird mein mangels Interaktion brach liegender Wordpress-Blog schlafen gelegt.

Den ständigen Empörungsmodus von Twitter möchte ich hier definitiv nicht weiter pflegen, deshalb tröte ich seit meinem Umzug zu Mastodon bewusst unpolitisch − und sehr viel entspannter. Gute Musik, horrible und fantastische Literatur und Handygeknipse sind bislang meine Themen, und meine Nerven danken es mir. Auch aus diesem Grund werden Leerdenker & Co. ohne weitere Diskussion geblockt, sobald sie sich zu erkennen geben, ich habe keinen Bedarf, Lebenszeit mit sinnlosen Diskussionen zu verschwenden.

Hello and good day, I am #NewHere on this instance. I haven't moved away from my "home server" berlin.social (over there I'm @FrauBluecher), but I'm planning to set up an allotment here for banter about music and literature that requires more than 500 characters per post. In exchange, my Wordpress blog, which is lying dormant for lack of interaction, will be put to sleep.

I definitely don't want to continue the constant outrage mode of Twitter here, so since moving to Mastodon, I've been deliberately tooting non-politically - and much more relaxed. Good music, horror and scifi literature and mobile phone photography have been my main topics so far, and my nerves thank me for it. Also for this reason, "empty thinkers" aka covidiots, right-winger & co. are blocked without further discussion as soon as they make themselves known; I have no need to waste life time with pointless discussions.

Extra viel Liebe für / extra love for:

I just finished Autumn Bleeds Into Winter by
#JeffStrand
(for the #XmasEvilReadathon!) and loved it! It kind of reminded me of Dear Laura by
#GemmaAmor
(they both include a teenager vs criminal showdown) but each one is incredible in their own way!
