Ah, desert petrichor in November.

I'm really liking the Chicago Pope lately. *"Sirius" intensifies.*

I've found I've been liking popcorn with olive oil and nutritional yeast. Not bad.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

I'm definitely going to be in a Krampus kind of mood this holiday season.

Thank you @paulmagrs.bsky.social and @stevecolewriter.bsky.social for this wonderful book. Stories that show us the familiar from a new perspective, remind us to look at life through others' eyes, and that entertain and move, with fabulous illustrations. May there always be stories and storytellers!

So cool. And sadly, too far away from me!

Go get 'im, Adelita.

I was just made aware that this exists. majortomwaits.tumblr.com/post/6475461...

No thoughts just Mifune

😍😍 OMG I love these. However, they're only available as pre-orders for NEXT autumn, 2026.

Was wearing my Harris/Walz 2024 shirt yesterday around the apartment. Nostalgia. Oddly comforting, for some reason. It was only a year ago. Instead, it feels like decades have gone by. Long, slow, infuriating decades.

Our security dog Chanel at work this morning, guarding the perimeter. Playing with her cow/snake(?) squeaky toy, which she presents to me when I come out to see her. I gave her some sardines as a treat, hence the chop-licking.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Me wanting to sleep v my brain

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

This is looking like a very good night for democracy and sanity. What a relief.

A good night.

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

This is an older painting of mine (2005) of King Ghidorah vs. Mothra. (Gouache, chalk and colored pencils) #GodzillaDay

Some Carl Kolchak drawings from my sketchbook from a couple of years ago. (I really need to write that fanfic about the pumpkin spice demons...) 🎃 #KolchakTheNightStalker

@rainesz.bsky.social one for Rob.

Happy Halloween. Also the birthday of John Keats. One of my rare full-color illustrations. (Gouache, colored pencils, ink pens.)

@rainesz.bsky.social wouldn’t be Halloween 🎃 without the Baroness!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Happy early Halloween. A commission from a few years ago of Peter Cushing as Van Helsing, inspired by Dracula A.D. 1972. (With Christopher Lee lurking in the background.)

I wrote this quick little fanfic about Vila from Blake's 7 back in 2017, inspired by political events then. Little did I know. It looks like someone did end up opening the vault after all. archiveofourown.org/works/11977953

Well, good news, because I'm still not renewing my Disney+ subscription. Nope.

I am saving my unfinished #DoctorWho novel for another Wilderness Month.

And Doctor Who, which did NOT die...

Oh, this would break his brain completely and I'm here for it.

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow 'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

So excited for @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein, and I wish I could see it in a theater before it hits Netflix. SO glad there will be an art book. I have almost all of del Toro's film art books, and I always look forward to how beautiful they are.

Good Boy is now available to rent or buy digitally. This is my Friday night movie tonight. I've been really excited to see it! 🐶 youtu.be/q4-CRkd_74g?...

Listening to Kate Bush's "Get Out of My House" in the car on the way to work this morning. I'd forgotten how much of a weird-ass song it was. I love it. 😁

Oh, this was freaking hilarious. I just borrowed this from the library and this was the best laugh I've had all week. Peacemaker adopts a dog who promptly gets kidnapped. Chris goes all John Wick- in a typical Peacemaker way. Lots of DC character deep cuts. (No animals were harmed in this comic!)

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

It's #AceWeek! I found out that I was asexual late in life, after years of thinking I was broken (I wasn't), and that I wasn't alone. "Oh, that's what I am! Now I know. COOL." I love this ace pride thylacine art by: www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Th...
