MarGhost has replaced having a personality with Halloween

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

Okay, the Facebook fan pages have GOT to stop using the same image format for memorial posts & posts about people's birthdays

Hiya! Since it's almost Halloween, it's time for one of my "favorite" spooky season PSAs! Don't buy taxidermy bats! None of them are ethically sourced, most are endangered, and the market for taxidermy or freeze dried bats is descimating local populations. Etsy, ebay, curio shows, none are okay.

It ys the seasoun of decoratif gourdes, ye knaves

Me: Michaels sucks now, Joanne's is gone, ac Moore is gone, local art shop is gone. Where can I shop for art supplies now? Person: Hobby Lob- Me: I will make art from my own sinew and bones first.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

It's October 5th & I've already lost the "How Long Can I Avoid Seeing Boston Ballet's Horrible Nutcracker Bear" game. How I loathe that bear...

Huh. Today in "always look up the etymology because sometimes you're just repeating a myth but sometimes it's weirder and more incredible than you could have possibly imagined" www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c...

Publicly lead a song today *in front of the woman who brought it over to the US originally.* Real glad I only learned I was doing that AFTER I'd done it.

A joyous fat bear week to all 🐻

Ngl got jumpscared by Colbert's beard at the Emmys tonight - not because it looks bad (it doesn't) but because with it he looks EERILY SIMILAR to my dad. Not identical, but close enough that I had to do a double take the first time he was on screen. Without it they do not look like. Wtf. Sorcery.

im gonna fucking crash out ITS THE FUCKING MUPPET SHOW YOU LITERALLY DID THE FORMULA, AGAIN, AND EVERYONE LOVED IT YOU DONT NEED TO REINVENT THE WHEEL, PEOPLE WANT THE MUPPETS

Just sawe a Blue Skye alert message that seyde "Upstream Timeout." Ys thys site being run by... salmon?

She is very lonely

Things that aren't great: fire alarm going off at 3am Things that are even less great: re-entering the building to see police on a different floor than the one the smoke smell & firefighters were on and hearing them say "definitely blood on the floor" 😬 (Neither was on my floor though)

See, I saw 'dragon' rather than 'lizard'...

The asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

woke: national hot dog day bespoke:

It's probably not great that all the pictures of New England the past couple of days have looked like how American movies color grade everything yellow to let you know you're in Mexico now... (It's wildfire smoke from Canada)

Having my organs removed and preserved in my collection of Dunkin' Canopic Jars.

So you know how when people share screenshots of Tumblr posts to FB they sensor any word even remotely related to death, sex, substances, & swearing? I just saw one that censored the word "orphan" 🙃

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Heatwave o' clock is upon us, which means it's once again time to attempt to kill the sun.

Do people who've never lived in Washington have a sense of how titanic a labor it is to get the Mall this empty, especially near the Fourth of July? Normally the monuments and Smithsonian would look _carpeted_ with tourists right now. Even 'Gigli' didn't chase people off like this.

I received a little dumbo octopus friend via a gotcha minigame in a game I play & my actual factual, out-loud reaction was to say "A beautiful child! A blessing upon us!" But I mean, can you blame me? Look at him!

Omg there's a horseshoe crab flipping song!! It's so 90s PSA songey. What glorious propaganda!! 😭 😭

The weather just went from zero to pouring so hard it caused grit & dust to rain down on me from my ceiling! Been here 5ish years & never had that happen before...

Sinosauropteryx! They're tiny! They've got bitty arms!We know what colors they were! Also: fluffy. Honorable mentions go to Parasaurolophus & Microraptor
