The pink is visible to the naked eye tonight.

Can you tell which side of the hill didn’t get sun today?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

We are finally watching Frankenstein and it is both beautiful and has the most gross wacky musical montage I’ve ever seen.

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.

I ordered the brush tip Sailor hocoro feedless fountain pen from John Neal Books earlier this week, and I got both brush and 2.0 nibs. I’m really excited to try it out with the inks I picked up last week at the Ohio Pen Show

hey I dunno who needs to hear this today but if your toddler decides that they’re obsessed with beetroot and eats like half a kg of it for dinner warn your nursery the next day

star trek muppetized: thread

My 8yo told me she had a dream that she went "taco treating," which is where you go door to door and people give you tacos

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

What time does the boogie man leave the studio? I’d really like to go clean up there but it’s still dark, even though it’s 4:30 of a morning.

In central Ohio, grocers like Meijer and Giant Eagle have this “flash food” program that is packages of different foods that are close to sell by date. I got two bags over the weekend for $10 total and got several pounds of potatoes, several pounds of apples, two bunches of bananas, some broccoli

I get up for a little while due to some bad nausea and come back to my ten year old grey and white chonk on my pillow. He’s lucky he’s cute

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

The sickos meme style and homage in the opening of tonight’s treehouse of terror was the best part of the episode for me :-/

On Lt Columbo Day never let us forget the episode where Columbo explains to a fitness guru how Mrs Columbo is thick, that he likes her thick, and how he will do anything within his power to keep her thick

I know it’s going to be cold tonight because Patches is in bed and has taken up his spot by my legs. I told him I’m not turning on the mattress warmer yet.

I started this painting earlier this year but had only painted the cat and bird. I found it while sorting my works on paper and have been working on it off and on for about a week. It is gouache on hot press watercolor paper.

I chose the giraffe page because I remember loving giraffes when I was a kid. This is something that can brighten someone’s day.

Who’s your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

The Barnes and Noble by Blick moved buildings earlier this year and overall I preferred the smaller space bc their periodical section is awful at the new one and trying to find anything is an exercise in frustration. But today they had Mother Horror’s new book on a front facing endcap so, yay!

For some reason I’m reminded of the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , “Band Candy”. The adults are dosed with candy that makes them all act irresponsibly so the bad guys can carry out their bad guy plot. The next day we find out that Giles and Joyce hooked up and Giles made love like a stevedore

Three years ago in October, someone made a multi post, multi day thread on the bird app. It was so compelling and helped take my mind off of all the work I was enmeshed in while closing my dad’s estate. It involved a staircase in the woods and tall figures with gaping maws that followed her home. 1/

I wrote about Robert Redford's environmentalism and, obviously, Sneakers.

I’m giggling at the idea of “Big Pocketbook”

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Art monographs are all in color except if the original photo was taken in black and white. And many are under $100. Same for the art magazines that are still being published. Color illustrations for everyone.

I’m trying to find the balance between “make progress on this embroidery” and “don’t hyperfocus so hard I end up with claw hands” and boy is it hard. #handembroidery #originalartwork (I am also salty that both JoAnn and my favorite small needlework shop have closed so I’m playing thread chicken )

i love tap water except it's so hard to get the water to wear the little shoes

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

It was scary times back in the day, we had a wolfman on the radio

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My preorder of A Misfortune of Lake Monsters paperback arrived at my local indie yesterday and I picked it up today. I’m excited to read it! @nicolemwolverton.bsky.social

My order from Vanness arrived today and this ink from Van Dieman is absolutely amazing. It’s Shooting Star from their Night set, and the label does say it is fountain pen ink, but I like how it lays down using my Kakimori nib #fountainpen

don't throw away your old grocery bags you can use them for amazing arts and crafts projects like "bag full of other grocery bags", "lone grocery bag in the corner of the kitchen", and "what's that smell did you save the bag that had the meat in it"

I need to stop scheduling doctor appointments at the full moon. At least this one is fifteen minutes away instead of the hour last month’s was. I’ve had a whole two hours sleep so far.

One reason to have friends of different ages and interests and backgrounds is so you can assemble a killer trivia team

Well I got the sleep but we were able to get the tabby and the calico kittens in and I spent my day taking the tabby to the vet (no feline leukemia so the whole litter is clear) and building a cardboard barricade to keep the calico in the laundry area and I’m ready to plotz

This new take on the teddy bears picnic is something

Breaking quorum is permitted by the Texas Constitution. If there is a chance of saving the remnants of representative democracy we will have to do some things. Texas Dems are doing some things. Stand with them. Here’s a very good piece by @lonestarleft.com. www.lonestarleft.com/p/we-will-no...

Here’s to a good night’s sleep and a lot less things that are just too much in my personal home tomorrow. I’d also ask for a respite from the fire hose that is the world at large while I’m at it. Baby steps.
