Today would have been the 101st birthday of one of my favorite illustrators, Edward Gorey. I entered an Evil Garden-themed envelope contest honoring Gorey last year. Didn't win, but enjoyed drawing this so much that I had to share.

Art you need, guaranteed.

If you’re going to ECCC put this at the top of your must-buy-this list!

Thank you again for the birthday wishes! And forever thanks to all of you for fighting for love, protecting your neighbors, and not using generative AI.

I got the best birthday present. My work made an awesome person happy. ❤️

This makes being old and decrepit so worth it. Thank you @lartist.bsky.social !!!

It's my birthday! Thank you for all the birthday wishes and the encouragement to keep on hopping.

This is brilliant and sad and should be shoved in the faces of everyone who doesn’t already know this.

James: That smells good. Me: It’s an egg sandwich. Just bread and one egg. Because one egg is…an oeuf. I’ve waited a lifetime to be able to say that.

It's my birthday week and I want to give YOU presents! Support real-human-artist-person me and get a real-human-artist-drawn sticker each month. Contribute this week and you get two stickers! ko-fi.com/lunaseastudios

RIP to a real Oregon hero. He went to Disneyland in the 60s, said “I bet I could do this” and you know what he sure could and did.

Happy Vallenween to all my monster friends!

Apparently IKEA sells mimics.

Donating to a great cause will make you a Muppet get in on this magic!!

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Nice to come on here after a day away and see victory for my Seattle friends!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I haven't stopped thinking about this SNL sketch. Not only hilarious, but so relevant. I hope it's happening across America.

Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine for longer than the Department of Homeland Security has EXISTED. Just turn it off.

I need The Muppet Show to be a series again so Noah Wyle can be in a Veterinarian’s Hospital version of The Pitt.

That’s not true… he’s stood for sweeping homeless camps, and platforming bigots, and against trans rights. What do you mean?

This sounds awesome.

Timeline cleanse!

yeah, so Fallout nailed it

I will say that one of the reasons I'm deeply frustrated with the "like they're ever going to have elections again" doomerism is that it's big "oh so you REALLY only think there are elections every 4 years, or 2 at best?" man the number of elections we've been having this whole time.

Hey, Texas! Very, very important. Please spread the word!

Doing the thing to mock it is still doing the thing. Don’t do the thing.

Your voice and your vote matter and they do have an impact. Keep calling! Even if it's just to say thank you. 5calls.org

Oh hello good news thank you very much.

Calling my senators again. My script: "Will the measures Ds are proposing for the DHS funding bill free Liam Ramos and kidnapped people? Will they guarantee congressional access to and oversight of the concentration camps? If not, you must vote against the bill." Find your reps here: reps.fyi

NEW: Special elections in the razor-thin Democratic majority-Houses in Maine and Pennsylvania. Billions of dollars in funding for school. A congressional primary. There are plenty of important elections right around corner, in FEBRUARY. So i put together my monthly guide of elections to watch:

This has gone so ridiculously viral in multiple places. You better believe I’m annoyed I forgot to watermark it 😂 Glad you’re all enjoying it and thanks to you who keep tagging me in places for credit. The main thing is it’s giving people a giggle. You’re all great* *most of you are great

Yourself, as a cartoon

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Make your voice heard.

Especially if your senators are GOP, call them. Just say "I'm asking the senator to vote no on any further Department of Homeland Security funding." It's worth working to peel off any GOP senators who might be wavering and constituent pressure will give them cover.

Call your senators and tell them to vote NO. You can find them at reps.fyi

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

I've been reminding myself of this so much recently.

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

Heads up SoCal folks

@jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov My officials - this is not reform-able. This is a complete refutation of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. They do not believe that the Constitution applies to them. No more funding for ICE - at any time, for anything. It must go.

If you have a democratic congress critter, you gotta call them. I’m sorry, but @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social won’t do his job, so someone’s got to.

Want to help Minnesotans currently under siege? Friends on the ground say this food bank is delivering to folks who are having to stay inside to avoid ICE harassment. www.2harvest.org

TOMORROW: We’re connecting voters in key states with their senators ahead of the upcoming vote on the Homeland Security funding bill. If you want to do more than demand ICE Out For Good from your Members of Congress, then this is the phonebank for you. 👇

Didn’t see the aurora, but did turn around to get a lovely shot of Orion’s belt and dangly bits.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail” was first published in The Atlantic in August 1963. Today is a very good day to read it again. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

It's Dr. Martin Luther King Day here in the U.S. Many of us have read snippets of the famed speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, but I recommend reading it in full. Even better is to listen to it in full. 1/2

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
