So I’m Allergic to the ENTIRE World

Jinxie G

...and I don't even know where to begin with this. So if you're my friend on Facebook, you might have noticed my recent news and are aware of the hives I've suffered for nine weeks running now. In short, I'm allergic to...uh...the entire world. Not really, but it sure as fuck feels like it after the… Continue reading So I’m Allergic to the ENTIRE World

One Year Ago…

Jinxie G

...I quit smoking. Holy shit. Yeah, it's been a year and I can't believe it, especially considering I haven't really had many cravings. I haven't had to use my e-cigarette unless I'm around smokers. I tried the vapor, but I didn't care for it much because it hurt my throat. I guess I was just… Continue reading One Year Ago…

This is Exactly Why We Need “Women In Horror Month,” You Jerk.

Jinxie G

Women shouldn’t be horror writers? Really? Hey asshat, some of the classics were written by women, or have you never heard of Frankenstein or The Lottery?

Well. I’m mad.

I’m not trying to be inciting or hysterical. But I am angry.

A “fellow” horror writer lambasted a dear friend and amazing woman for doing book signings while in costume and…I’m not quite sure what else. Being a woman? He said women were especially bad at trying to grab attention (“claiming” we’re horror writers when we aren’t) and most of us are hags anyway.

That’s right. Most of us are hags.

I’m sorry, but how did appearance even manage to worm its way into this conversation? This author has one book out and a second releasing soon. Yet he has the authority to decide who is really a horror writer and who isn’t? And bringing physical appearance into it is exceptionally personal. He doesn’t like the way most of us look? Next time I’ll be careful to wear a helmet while signing so I don’t offend readers…

I’d hoped I wouldn’t have to go here, but alas, here we are. Today, 50 Shades of Grey the MOVIE will open for…*record screech* Valentine’s Day. Nothing says I love you like predatory emotional manipulation, sociopathy, abuse and non-consensual sex acts.

Find THAT on a Hallmark card.

And yes, I know there have been other kinky books like this, but 50 Shades sold over 100 million copies and the movie (despite ZERO plot) is expected to gross in excess of $60 million which means I just threw up a little in my mouth this “story” has tipped from fringe to mainstream and that scares me more than a little bit.

No, I didn’t read the book. I don’t need to. Nor do I need to watch gang-rape prison porn to know it probably is unhealthy for the future of women (or even men)…
