I'm late to the party, but how gorgeous is this? Spoken word poetry at its best. Tender loveliness that choked this cynical old heart with emotion. Thanks, @thethinker51.bsky.social #Queer #Poetry #SpokenWord

‘Sooner or later, we have to venture beyond our biological family to find our logical one, the one that actually makes sense for us. We have to, if we are to live without squandering our lives.’ TOTC blew me away from the outset. Beaming love to my family, logical and otherwise #Pride

Got to love a bit of book ephemera - this newspaper clipping fluttered out of a second hand book I opened today. It would be kind of rude not to turn this little unbidden prompt into a short story, wouldn't it...? #Horror #HorrorWriting #HorrorWriters
Day 3 Part 4 and more at Horror Studies Now26- thought provoking sessions from Kris Woofter and Mervyn Marshall, the awards ceremony for the gorgeous and talented @katherineprentice.bsky.social as the worthy winner of the Peter Hutchings Award and then social shenanigans. @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 3 Part 3 at Horror Studies Now26 -a panel on Women in Horror. This was a standout session for me - Shellie McMurdo, Selma Purac and Jeanette Goon all left me wanting more. Chaired by the lovely StaceyAbbot. The power in this room was off the scale! @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 3 Part 2 at Horror Studies Now26 A fantastic panel 'Written in Blood' with Sophie Dungan, Zoe Zavrotny and Alex Herod - that delightful mix of scholarly rigour and relatable moments that brought the work alive - great stuff! @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 3 Part 1 at Horror Studies Now26 Marc Olivier and SJLauro ran the most wonderful session on publishing. If only all editors were this kind and charismatic! Some excellent advice given and much to consider. @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 2 Part 3: a superb session chaired by the lovely @maxgee1284.bsky.social: Disability and Neurodivergence. Catherine Pugh - Extraordinary Body in Post-Apocalypse Narratives, Darren Gray on 'Occupied Flesh' and the wonderful Marcella Rees-Gray on 'Growing up Wild.' @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 2 Part 2 at Horror Studies Now26 - a mind-blowing session on Horror and Performance with Alanna Thain, Heather Kelley and Jose Nateras. So many ways to tell horror stories...exploring new forms and sparking ideas - truly revelatory @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 2 Part 1: more thought-provoking papers at Horror Studies Now26 - I started my day listening to the wonderful Mars Nicoli @marsnicoli.bsky.social and then a fantastic paper from Sam Dubois on Transness in horror @horrorstudies.bsky.social

An excellent first day of papers, friends and discussions at Horror Studies Now26 - the amazing Dr. Chi-Yun Shin's plenary, a splendid session on Temporalities with Marie Krebs and Frankie Wakefield and a fantastic plenary from Prof. Adam Lowenstein to round off the day. @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Too hot to move much still at nearly 7.30pm. Bank Holiday sewing it is. What do you think making here, to soothe my overheated, gothic little heart?
Please share details of this important study if you can. #ADHD #Autism #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergent
