The Last Drive-In charity auction with @therealjoebob123.bsky.social includes a pack of books and some Hellboy & Krampus goodies I curated for the occasion! Includes signed graphic novels like The House, The Witcher, and of course Joe Bob's book. Looks like TFAW added a pack of single issues, too.

Me: I don't need more games; I need more time to play what I have Also me: but I NEED this Witcher game and also every story and character expansion and oh hey look, another friend is opening up a crowdfunding campaign for their game and--

I'm going to be processing the loss of Rob Reiner for a while yet, but a tribute that I love every day is that my partner's coffee shop's main blend is named Eleven after Spinal Tap. (Now in its second iteration, Eleven of Spades) His influence is everywhere and keeps on giving 🖤

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order protecting SNAP benefits: the ruling blocks the Trump administration’s efforts to impose severe financial penalties on states—and protects the continued operation of SNAP programs while the case proceeds. #orpol #snap #breakingnews

Unpopular opinion: I prefer reading articles over watching videos to learn about news stories or game and book tips and... most other things, tbh. If the only option is to watch a video, most of the time I just won't and will go find another source.

Finally had a chance to go renew my library card recently and check out one of the branches they just finished remodeling in our area ♥️ Got my first little haul and donated a box of books, win-win!

Last month, the 1803 Fund—formed in 2023 to support Albina revitalization —announced it would invest $70 million to kick off major development projects in North Portland. One project, dubbed “Albina Riverside,” is planned as a recreational and community space along the Willamette River.

Pretty much any modern comic crew reinterpreted by Edward Gorey a la Gashlycrumb Tinies. B is for Bruce, beheaded by a batarang.

I would be shocked, but I am too busy working through 29384 side quests. Also, we pretty much only use this console for Baldur's Gate, God of War, and TLOU, so...

My annual winter replay of Pentiment has begun 📚

One of the best cats in comics, and I will tell you so in our Cats, Comics, Cats panels at comic cons! @zackdavisson.com

The Flanders street stencils are my favorite. I hope someone renews them before they fade entirely.

This video has exposed the dust problem in my house, it's the only explanation for why my eyes are leaking everywhere

A Goofy Movie soundtrack slaps and I will stand by it forever.

We have been handed down this wheel for the cats. They like it... as a throne?

A Magic Thanksgiving, in the end

For Thanksgiving, our next door neighbor got arrested by US Marshals. Guys in tactical gear with assault rifles in front of our house with a megaphone earlier. 2025, stop trying so hard

Vet trip 1 of several as we get caught up. The look of betrayal. Dot climbed in with Feyd to hide in his carrier with him for a while. Both did fine. Home and demanding snacks. 💸

I feel for Rob Gale and wish him the best. Shouldn't be a total surprise for the Thorns, though. And now, I will have I'm Just Ken stuck in my head for days. youtu.be/fo6T5BwxFh0?...

ATTN ALL KIND-HEARTED & GENEROUS FOLKS! 🎉❤️ Gloria and I will once again be trying to raise $ to buy as many $25 Target & Fred Meyer gift cards as possible for teens & kids in foster care in our area. They get distributed by the case workers the week before Christmas ++
