It would be funny if someone thanked Satan instead of Jesus for their Grammy. Maybe with a shout-out to the amazing deal they made. Apropos of nothing, Jelly Roll went way way OTT with his Jesus talk. Thank your deity once, please.

Is it just me or does whatever Addison Rae sang at the Grammys tonight have a lot in common with Sheila E's The Glamorous Life?

This is definitely the best written article on the OBX incident. It is interesting to see it addressed from an outside perspective. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The US is definitely interfering with the Alberta separatist movement to break up Canada. Be on your guard, fellow Canadians. Elbows up!

Sometimes when the world is going to shit, something positive comes along to make your day a little brighter. Today, that is GWAR covering Pink Pony Club. youtu.be/I5XR48KLE8I?...

Ruby-throated male hummingbird. Watercolour on arches hot-pressed paper. It turns out everyone was right when they said arches is better. #Birds #RubyThroatedHummingbird #Watercolour #ArchesPaper

I got some new soft pastels in and so I did a version of that gorgeous photo. #ArtistsOfBluesky #Art #Landscape #SoftPastel

My late dog Gozer. She was my heart dog; she died almost two years ago but I miss her every day. This is soft pastel on sanded paper. #Art #ArtistsOfBluesky #Dog #DogPortrait #SoftPastel #GozerDog

docs.google.com/document/d/1... This statement from 65 players in the San Francisco scene makes statements about their own recent issues and solidarity for the OBX Fall Flippers situation. The IFPA deleted it in their own Discord, citing "discussion on the IFPA's response to [their OBX decision]."

The IFPA has come out and said that they won't de-sanction the OBX event. I'm furious at this shit show: it's sending the message that anyone who isn't a cis man isn't safe and the women's council is just a distraction. There's a petition. Please sign it. c.org/9NDNFsVCnR

WTF, IFPA. OBX needs to be de-sanctions and the WPPRs removed. Otherwise they may as well just say out loud that they'll support trans people as long as it doesn't interfere with cis men's stuff. www.kineticist.com/post/ifpa-ob...

Pinball is for everyone and what happened in North Carolina to trans players this weekend is appalling. Fuck this shit, OBX. I hope the IFPA does the right thing here: de-sanctions the tournament and doesn't sanction further tournaments there until reparations and proof of change are made.

Our pumpkins this year. The Raven is mine.

It's October and you know what that means - Birdtober! Day 1 is the Banded Penguin. #Birdtober #Birdtober2025 #BandedPenguin

It's been a while since I watched Requiem for a Dream. It's still as powerful as ever, but two quibbles: ECT isn't like that anymore, and pupils on opiates get smaller, not bigger.

I don't know what actually happened but it's sad that my first thought is that the US Coast Guard is lying. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

This is a nice article.

I wondered how plastic recycling targets would be changed, because otherwise producers have to think about changing packaging or actually recycling, and that's expensive. Expensive things are anathema to capitalism. Grrrr. globalnews.ca/news/1125431...

This sums it up
