I just remembered that America’s Funniest Home videos is still going, so now I wonder how many of the videos there are AI? It’s gotta be a good 40–50% at this point, right??

It seems like half the women on this season of Survivor have big big, dangly/hoop earrings, and it drives me crazy every time I see them because I keep waiting for one of them to get snagged on a tree branch or something, gah.

I just realized I have a blister on my palm from a freakin' *plastic bottle* I spent several minutes trying to unscrew. 🤨

I've talked about it before but the AIDS Quilt and the project of memorializing queer stories through tangible physical objects is fundamental to how I want to make art and the methods and mediums I choose. This is such a loving interactive digital archive, and I am so sad and glad for it.

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

Every so often I get reminded that other states outside of Texas have a Six Flags, and each time I have a knee jerk reaction of ‘Hey, wait a minute, that’s OUR thing!’

I helped my parents put up their tree, which is Arwen’s first inexperience with it. Her like immediately afterwards:

Grab a mini print or a sticker from my Etsy and support my art business as I try to finish up the year strong! samanthamash.etsy.com

Watched Wicked: For Good yesterday. “No Good Deed” has always been my favorite song from the stage show, but I totally forgot how bland all the other Act II songs are, lol

Anytime someone tries to convince me that canned cranberry sauce is superior to fresh, I remember that Bob Belcher is on my side and that’s all that matters.

PSA that this emoji 😪 is in fact of a person sleeping with an anime snot bubble, not of a person crying.

She’s hiding from the vacuum. ☹️

I haven’t seen the stage version of Little Shop of Horrors, but I just came across a “slime tutorial” of it on YouTube and watched the ending. I never knew that right before she dies, Audrey sings a reprise of Somewhere That’s Green, which gives a new meaning to the song (her being fed to Twoey) 😭😭.

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

I watched The Poughkeepsie Tapes last night, mainly out of morbid curiosity. I didn't really care for it, but the repeating "I don't know what you want me to say" is gonna stick with me for a while.

Oh, Kieran Culkin is playing younger Caesar Flickerman in Sunrise on the Reaping?? 😃😃😃

Why’d I ever think I’d be able to finish this by Halloween, smh #art #wip

For the second time, I dreamed of having a fairly well thought out horror comic idea, and when I woke up I promptly forgot what it was.

This is *it* folks - the hollow, silly appeal to inevitability has to be repeated constantly because otherwise we'd all realise that we can actually push back against awful deployment of ineffective and crappy technology

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

I really enjoyed Frankenstein (2025). 😏 #art #sketch #frankenstein

I just got an email from deviantART congratulating me on being a member for 20 years. Thanks, bud.

I'm really enjoying Welcome to Derry. I initially assumed that this would be more of an anthology covering Mike's various interludes with Derry's history from the book, but I like what it ended up being also.

C R Y I N G this is so perfect lmao x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7cPSf...

Is there anyone else who gets a twinge annoyed when they see someone recommend that artists should intentionally make their art look more imperfect so others won't accuse them of using AI?

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Just watched Frankenstein on the big screen.

So, we broke into your house and stole all your stuff, please give us money.

The Harry Ransom Center in Austin has a really cool exhibit of Lorne Michaels’ archive he donated, so there’s a lot of SNL stuff. It even has the very photo of the Pope that Sinéad O’Connor ripped up. 🤯

I'm finally, finally watching Bram's Stoker's Dracula for the first time.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

CRANK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwcK...

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

Watching Survivor is a family affair here.

I’ve accidentally slipped into “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” TikTok, and I ain’t mad about it.

I’m so out of the loop with baseball that I didn’t even know the World Series had been going on until now, lol

I’m rewatching Scream, and something just occurred to me… Why does Tatum have two beds?? Does she have a sister? There’s never been an indication that she and Dewey had other siblings.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

It's Arwen's first Halloween (officially, at least), and I forgot to get her a costume.

Is anyone else here a fan of the smell you get when you turn on the heater for the first time that year? I mean, I know it’s the smell of dust buildup burning or whatever, but I’m a big fan of that smell.

I was so proud of my pink princess for sprouting these two beauties, but the wind today knocked her off her stand and broke this stem off. 😩

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

I found a new “craft thing to do while watching tv”, and it’s beading. I may have gone a bit carried away.

Waddaya mean October is already almost over??!
