I had intentions to do productive things today, but I'm so wiped from this weekend's market that after I got the groceries put away and sat down to write, I fell asleep in my tea.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I have been operating under the assumption that I am allergic to the taco bell abomination pie bc "whipped topping" is often code for cool whip, which has a shit ton of coconut oil in it unfortunately I looked up the nutrition facts and I am not, in fact, allergic to the pie oh no

Do you think God stays in heaven because he is afraid of what he created?

It's Oddmall Creepsmas time! As usual I'll be there with my prints and stickers, just in a different spot than usual. I'll be booth F19 this year!

I...think I may have officially graduated to *having* to take two trips with my cart to unload for markets, instead of stubbornly finding a way to do it in one. praise the void that this weekend's market let's me drive right up to the doors

Holy shit McCarthyism

⚔️ FIND YOUR PARTY ⚔️ 🗺️ FORGE YOUR PATH 🗺️ @geekgirlcon.bsky.social is only a couple of days away and it's going to be a special one! I had the amazing opportunity to help design this year's merch and it's been so exciting watching it all unfold ✨

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

have been stuck at the very goddamned end, literally the middle of the climax, for a month. have just been letting myself not write while I focus on show stuff and life drama. opened the doc on a whim today to kill 10 minutes and ended up screamy-typing out everything as far as the epilogue

No. Fuck Target.

fever broke last night and I'm finally feeling like a human being again, which means I have to bust ass today to finish getting ready for creepsmas (set up is tomorrow!)

Seattle area people, if you're in need of a warm, dry place with a hot beverage (Sinus Relief is a banger pick right now) and a snack, Friday has you COVERED with the shop's pay-it-forward program. There's an open no-questions-asked community pantry, too. Donate or resupply, this is communitea!

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Catch me at Oddmall Creepsmas this weekend, November 8-9! 🎃🎄 Hunt for amazing handmade gifts by Coven of Whimsy and dozens of other local artists and snap a pic with Santa or Krampus… whatever your heart desires, boo 😘✨ @ Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA #oddmall #oddmallpnw #artistalley

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

welp. officially sick at this point. accepting all thought prayers, good vibes, and healing words that I'm well enough to vend this weekend bc I don't wanna miss creepsmas 😭

apparently they're just agreeing with everyone that the third mummy movie didn't actually happen, because they're going to act like it never happened. I'm so excited

my kid was sick over the weekend, and now, three days before Creepsmas, my throat is swollen and I feel unwell. also today is parent-teacher conferences? not cool, universe. not cool.

GO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

I won't be at geek girl con this year as I'll be vending at Creepsmas, but a lot of my friends are going to be at ggc and I selfishly think you should dedicate one weekend day to each show >.>

I thought I was doing so good with keeping my inventory in their actual homes all summer, but nope! I'm missing an entire sleeve of sticker sheets I haven't even had a chance to sell yet and at least 2 sticker designs 😭

I can do this bc I have a partner with a union job and benes. my kid is old enough that I can into my office for 90 minutes at a time without worrying about my house burning down. we spent years dumping every free penny we had into our student loans

she should have won and we all know it

finally got my hands on Mario kart 8 (look, I'm too poor for a switch 2, don't judge how late I am to this party). have been gently teaching my kid how to play with mixed success. (he'd rather watch videogames than play them, and he's taking the skill difference between us like a champ)

lovely

November 1st

Mmmmmothman.

Today is the last day!

pss pss pss, I'll be here

did too much today. (errands, printing, ordering other prints, Halloween prop making, dishes, dinner, going through 700 photos and putting them into an album.) will I pay for it tomorrow? considering tomorrow starts in 7 hours, yes. all signs say I'm fucked

as someone who pursued traditional printing making, every other year or so when I order digital prints I always have to lie down on the floor for a minute because I always forget how expensive it is. it's no less expensive than printing lino, but I never see the price laid out like that

last call for this month's Patreon block print The Clerk and the Clown, fully inspired by the characters from MCR's Long Live the Black Parade tour On November 1st they're only available at in-person events and by politely asking me online if I have extras after a show patreon.com/magneticnorth

The Clerk and the Clown prints are finished; glamor shots tomorrow when the light is nicer

I feel so seen

Jack handles sadness by buying plants. specifically, a plant that looks as sad as him, so he has someone to commiserate with (he has several flesh and blood friends who would absolutely drop everything for him, but he's terrified of being a burden)

it's not even a culture difference sometimes. My mom's family is as white as mayonaise. yet the entire Catholic family had us calling the previous generation of cousins "aunt" or "uncle" because it was easier than trying to figure out who was first cousins and second cousins etc across generations.

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

I made a loaf of bread today and it's taking everything in my body to not just eat it like a candy bar
