Got my new Emerald City Blue ink from The Wet Pen in the mail today, had to ink up the Lamy Dark Dusk with it. It’s beautiful. I may swap the M nib for a B later so the beautiful green sheen on this blurple ink will come through. Thanks Matthew! I love it!

Ever take a long, scrubby shower and have your whole outlook for the day change? It’s glorious.

Name your favorite superhero that isn’t DC or Marvel

Please could you spread this?

A movie you’ve seen more than 7 times with a gif

Doctor gave me an Rx for high dose Vitamin D because apparently I’m low. Took my first dose Monday and I’m not glowing or changing form yet so, all good I guess?

I was wondering (hoping) if this could be charged as a war crime. Yay, I also support this.

If I have to be *at* my medical appointment for 7:30am, you can be damn sure I’m treating myself after.

Day off today and enjoying it by staying in out of the rain and wind, drinking tea, and deciding which book to read next.

Narrative matters in political warfare. We are winning this. MAGA are reduced to begging each other to be scared of the dancing frog.

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans www.polygon.com/assassins-cr...

TEXAS IS A DISASTER.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Randomly saw the Day 1 prompt for Inktober ‘25, and despite never having done it or even having drawn for awhile, had to dive right in. I’m late a few days, but I’ll make it up. (I think) Prompt: “Mustache”

I was so excited today. I thought this was an obituary — turns out I was very wrong. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The way this made me laugh! 🤣

This, 💯%. And it's not merely messaging—it's just simple, discernible fact. The best messaging is messaging that reminds people of what is true and known to be true. The entire 2024 presidential campaign should have been about this.

The fetid penny drops for those powerful folks in tech who ignored this for far too long, but then they have to audacity to politely ask and expect the unrepentant arsonist to tamp down the conflagration.

At almost 2,000 years old, this child’s wooden toy sword is a remarkable survival from Roman times! Found in the living quarters of the cavalry barracks at Vindolanda fort in 2017. Dated c.120 AD. Chesterholm Museum 📷 by me #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology

This morning in rapid succession I walked into a door and then stepped in cat puke, so it's pretty clear to me this Thursday can just go fuck itself

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

For the generals yesterday, resistance meant total silence. And I thank them for it. But for the rest of us, silence is cowardice. Silence in the face of this daily onslaught against democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, the Constitution, and basic human decency is utter cowardice.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

If you don’t want to be called a Nazi or Hitler, maybe stop quoting him verbatim?

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Please clap 👏

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

If things weren’t bad enough already, Republicans in control of Congress are shutting down the government. Why? Because Donald Trump opposes making health care more affordable for millions of Americans.

Yes, please

Good for her. He tested the waters to see how much contempt/disrespect she'd tolerate, and SURPRISE, MF, she isn't tolerating ANY. This is the way. Her acquaintances can get bent, too, for arguing that her being "insulted just once" shouldn't have led to her booting the boyfriend. HARD DISAGREE.

This applies to the honorable leaders of our military He can’t fire you all Your oath is to the constitution
