You Are Glowing, My Dear #Art by Tiny Piece of Mercury

I regret to inform you that over the last two days I went on long extended walks and it was glorious for mind, body, and soul. Will I learn anything from this? Probably not, but ‘tis the season to get my ass frolicking about far more frequently!

Desperately trying to protect my peace today (and all month) by enveloping myself in Halloween delights. 🎃 But it's so hard, y'all...

My 15th (!!!) year as part of the Countdown to Halloween. Starting tomorrow, posting longer reads that were 100% written by a human being & covering all manner of tricks and treats. Head over to HalloweenThing.com on 10/01. TLDRs need not apply. 🎃 #countdowntohalloween #countdowntohalloween2025

Violating ethics laws, you say? These guys? Surely not. I await the consequences... 🙄

On this day in Horror History, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD premiered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1968.

YES

Happy October, from the boys.

Day 2 of funding THE GREAT HALLOWEEN PUZZLE and we're at 20% of the goal and Kickstarter named us a Project We Love. Off to a good start! With a ways still to go. If you want a totally fun and unique Halloween puzzle, back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/448...

Okay this might be a crazy idea but… what what if when the gov shuts down on Oct 1 students walk out of school, and everyone who can calls out of work.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Happy Halloween Month!!! 🎃 #Halloween #SpookySeason #KeepItCreepy

My daughter and I just launched The Great Halloween Puzzle & Podcast! It's a mysterious Halloween puzzle that changes as you build it, with a spooky podcast that gives you clues. Art by the amazing @ryandunlavey.com. Back it! Share it! Help us bring it to life! www.kickstarter.com/projects/448...

💯

Uh this is legit bonkers. Well I guess we know who to blame for the shutdown.

must be spooky or nachos or both

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

If this isn't sadistic and evil, nothing is.

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel. Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

Would it be crazy to drive 3 hours each way for a beach day? I haven't seen the ocean waves this year and my salty soul is withering...

Over the past week, I keep having nightmares that I'm working at my old job. Don't know what it means but I'm not a fan.

We need to be careful of the phrasing and framing here. The far-right Sinclair corp won't stand up to Trump; they *want* this.

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to * Get that new Vax if you can * Stock up on masks * Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out * Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine * Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable

*sigh* Yeah, we're going to have to defend Comey. The man may have used spectacularly bad judgment, helping to usher in that fascist doofus, seemingly without any regret about that... but he's not crooked. He's not evil. And this will not be right, obviously.

AS IT SHOULD BE 🎃

Intriguing!!! Help spread the word, spooky friends. #Halloween #HorrorSky

WHOA the moss-mushroom combo. 😍

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sinclair TV stations can go fuck themselves. 🖕

I refuse to get raptured until after Halloween. So far, so good...

It’s literally the least you can do. Vote with your pocketbook. Money is the only thing they understand. But it won’t be the last thing we should do. Not by a long shot.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Fascists.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Hell yeah.

Seeing so many people saying "the media venues have become fascist so please read my Substack" is sending me To wit: badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/nazi-updat...

It seems like all of a sudden I'm being followed by a slew of new bot accounts... what is that about? Anyone else?

AS IT SHOULD BE 🎃

What do you call a bear without teeth? A gummy bear.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

"One with the cheese" is my new mantra. #Omnomnom 🧀

Infuriating and heartbreaking. They shouldn't try to come back. Nobody should want to come here, now. We don't deserve them. No-paywall link: archive.ph/Ihkub

Always spot on, this woman.

Don't wanna get out of bed these days, but I made myself go for a hike to some waterfalls. (Great Falls.) Yay me, I guess? Also saw what looked like a huge, squished copperhead, which put a bit more suspense into the excursion, I must say. 😳

I'm so tired of being angry all the time.

Today’s US Supreme Court ruling allowing racial targeting, that being Hispanic and working a low-income job and not speaking English proficiently ‘constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United States’, is staggeringly racist. Shameful doesn’t come close. This is awful

There is a vacuum of law at the heart of America right now. The rest of us chug along assuming we won’t ever slip in the hole they have made, but it’s there. Just one wrong step, and law… disappears.
