My neighbors put up their Halloween decorations this week

Mrw we're actually living through the End of Halloween

Francis Fukuyama out here with a take 💀💀💀
- If you have an astronomically boneheaded take like “the end of history” it should be illegal for you to ever have one again. Enforced lurker mode
What if I'm an archaeologist, Francis

Someone seems RATTLED

[percussive skeletal sounds intensify]

"We shouldn't trivialize death," says the acclaimed horror author.

getting this upset about halloween decorations is so weird lol, what an embarrassing public self-own

Death to America

Halloween is so cancelled.

A liberal writer who fears the Lacanian real? Turns out that her mountains of pages of text are just a weak defense against existential horror lmao, liberalism is literally an ideology for frightened delusional children hiding from the dark

Oh no I’ve been spooked

I once saw some people say Halloween is reactionary because Zombies and Mummies are African things that white people find scary. Also that the word Spooky is a slur.

I wouldn't be surprised to see those kinds of takes on here, to be honest.
- spook apparently does have some history as a slur for black people
I don't see them talking about how Halloween is Irish cultural appropriation of Samhain

Just wait until they accidentally stumble into a Dia de los Muertos parade

memento mori, loser

Ahhh no please stop I'm going to live forever ahh if the line goes up forever so should I ahhhh respect the tragedy of my morality ahhhh

Dia de los Muertos enjoyers

That would not simply be another skirmish in the war on Christmas, but perhaps the beginning of a hot war amongst the holidays
- Best part of Halloween is it provides a strong bulwark, a line in the sand past which the Christmas season cannot cross.

Silly decorations like this are at least 50% of why I want to live in a house.

Halloween destroys local festivities but I like dressing cute so it's a good holiday

its so disrespectful that you have a skeleton beneath your skin, there are people who have died

Twitter has been surreal because I grew up thinking Joyce Carol Oates and writers like her were geniuses. I read her novel Zombie like three times. Black Water is good too, and whichever the one was about the kid who becomes a prophet. Yet she is consistently just goofy and condescending on twitter

I used to worship William Gibson too and that's been harder. He's the most lib person imaginable in Twitter and I have no idea how to reconcile it's the same guy who wrote Mona Lisa Overdrive.

For some reason Stephen King being a turbo lib hasn't hit me as hard, possibly because he made fun of himself in his books, so I already thought of him as kinda goofy.

PSA: please remember that plastic is bad for the environment and climate, instead try to use organic skeletons, preferably locally sourced billionaires

... Im a joke before I start decomposing, that might be an improvement actually ...
