sometimes you have a thought so all-consuming you have to fire up Canva to exorcise it

I cannot stress enough how good “Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials” is and it is 100% about this.

I don’t know what it says that the only forms of art that actually capture what it’s like to have my specific form of anxiety are Swan Boy and Achewood, but I’m sure it’s probably good and a good omen for my future.

It’s truly astonishing that, a decade on, the Shitpost Right is still gnawing on Ghostbusters (2016). It’s like making a Tron sequel in 2025.

Happy Halloween!

reading any one random hellboy comic will cure a great many things, at least temporarily

I wrote an article for Hipsters of the Coast just in time for Halloween. It’s good too. www.hipstersofthecoast.com?p=110472

Dracula singing a version of People Who Died that's all about monsters and he keeps singing shit like "the wolf man! Ah! He vas! The wolf man!!!"

thought about pitching a road trip with cal where we hand deliver all these, but real life obligations got in the way (writing about the mysterious deep sea trench linking sarpadia to the terisian isles, and thus facilitating homarid migration far further north than they were even meant to go)

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

Cal’s so good at evangelizing the best fish that he should consider going by “Calcâl.” This is what Magic writing is all about.

Like all his work, the more I look, the more I love.

*Apologies for work-Andrew* @parker.luckypaper.co hits on an important point in this article, albeit indirectly. Celebrity endoresements, cross-branding, and licensing agreements are built on the notion of "borrowed equity," where it is believed that all parties benefit from the shared experience.

[[My 1st BSKY post]] The mouth of Flesh Lip & Mandarin's face symbolize the mouth of Mary verbally abusing James. They were inspired by the mouth of the figure in the center painting of “Second Version of Triptych 1944” by Francis Bacon. As a side note, in SH2R, Mandarin appears only in Otherworld.

For @hipstersofthecoast.com, I wrote about the Through the Omenpaths Flavoring Project—an ongoing fan-based grassroots effort to add flavor text to all the cards in OM1 that would otherwise have them! I’m really happy with this article. Give it a read!! www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/10/a-st...
