The Monroeville Mall is the setting of the zombie classic Dawn of the Dead, and this petition pushes it to become a historical landmark! I signed immediately, as not only its iconic look, but also to preserve a hint of old "mall culture." Give it a look! c.org/VJWBWyH6G6

Millennials having a breakthrough about what has contributed to their trust issues:

There are wonderful, blessed moments when it's late night, everyone else in the house is sleeping, and the leftover chow mein in the fridge feels like the greatest thing to have existed.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

I often feel like there's a war going on over my books between the readers who connect with what they are and the people in the publishing industry who think I should make them more shit, dumb & unoriginal so they sell more. I know whose side I'm on, and I know I've never been on it more zealously.

We're flooded with nonstop legislation, but focus attention on the SAVE Act. If passed it will be used to crush leftist voters. Married women would not be able to vote if they took their partner's last name (ID wouldn't match birth certificate). Don't take it for granted; call your senators.

When I went to the DMV site to schedule my license renewal, I was pretty bummed I didn't have to solve a CAPTCHA. That's the one place it would have made sense to have to identify a bunch of stop signs or crosswalks.

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

our country was founded by outlaws

Guess I can’t anger myself to sleep. Ah well it was worth a try.

i hate living in the second act of CABARET. i miss living in the first act of CABARET

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Here in the Twin Cities, it feels very different from 2020. After the murder of George Floyd, the enemies were abstractions: institutional racism, police violence - plus we were mad at the kids looting the post office. Today, the enemy is clear: ICE is the enemy. The goal: Get ICE out.

There's also been a shift in character in activism. In Trump's first term, the big actions were symbolic protests designed to make a narrative impact. In Trump's second term, we are seeing actions designed to practically frustrate an authoritarian crackdown on civil liberties.

so many clergy coming to protest ICE that they're overflowing the airport sidewalk we are going to win

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Happy holidays! Probably my favorite stop-motion from the past few years. Really enjoyed creating this one.

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

Interesting

I stole The Martian Chronicles from my sister's AP summer reading list and read it in one night. The sun was coming up, I closed the book, and those experiences and revelations never left me. I knew the kind of stories I wanted to tell, in that moment.

@ironstylus.bsky.social There's an entire flock of parrots outside my apartment, did you do this, because I'm crediting you anyway

@lmccj.bsky.social I FOUND YOUR TEETH, I had put them in a special "make art when ready" corner in the closet and voila there they are! 🫀🫀🫀

@gtkarber.bsky.social Your Halloween mystery was super fun! Made sense, in the typical roundabout way, and I landed on "he's framing someone" but not as exquisitely as you delivered it. Wonderful sleuthing!

Tipsy and trying not to creepily haunt my sleepy boyfriend by clutching a bag of quail eggs and singing one of my VAST REPOSITORY of egg songs. The fella is trying to sleep. But, Eggs.

Something to keep in mind, I learned at Halloween Horror Nights the first aid office has cheap foam earplugs if you ever need them. They came in handy for my fella tonight, so if you're struggling they've got your back.

When did Halloween Horror Nights start playing industrial club bangers and why would I ever leave this Plaza now that they do?

Fun watching people tap on the bar while a band is playing and being able to tell what instruments they play.

@ass.golf I saw Shiner tonight. Thanks for being the only person (other than in associated bands) who knows who the fuck they are. 23 years waiting for this show and it's exquisite.

Maybe my fault but when I called Dr. Feelgood PHD I expected a better outcome than feeling "alright." Modicum of disappointment.

Happy first day of fall! The return of cool air and cloudy skies has me slowly morphing into my most powerful form. 🍁🍂 Drawn in Procreate with the Freycinet brush, 2023.

AUTUMN APPROACHES

It's midnight, I'm renovating my RV and taking a break to check my phone. It must look really inviting in here because that me and that feral cat jumpscared the FUCK out of each other.

Suddenly it's 4 am and all your friends are asleep and you're reading REALLY DEEP meanings into Echo & The Bunnymen songs.

as a queer person making art i know all too well the ways in which the knife positions itself to come for us all, but man its tiring to see sex workers and pornographers treated exclusively like a kind of unfortunate canary

Enjoy some down-home spooky storytime, by one of the modern masters. We've wanted this one for a long time.

Therapist appointment: "Any advice?" "When the emotional mind takes over, pivot it to rational mind." "I'm good at that. But then the rational starts screaming and the emotional says LOOK EVEN THEY'RE FREAKING OUT!" "And then the wise mind says Shut The Fuck Up." "Good call."
