as an artist I sometimes find myself with some of the same concerns as a murderer (planning the disposal of a body, wondering what to do about identifiable features, jewelry, and tattoos)

No one talks about how difficult it can be to keep your mind on your work when you keep accidentally brushing fingers with your devastatingly attractive boss over the corpse you're reanimating.

My artist and loyal henchman @beastliness.bsky.social has been endeavoring to get in the habit — when working on any of their more elaborate pieces art — of saving snapshots at various stages of development in order to be able to share a little of the process.

Repeating firmly to myself that I can be trusted around beautiful, haunted-looking boys - I will not bind them half-naked to a tree or marble column and shoot them full of holes with my bow and arrow.

I’m strictly villain4villain. I can never resist a wickedly arch voice and bent-on-world-domination laugh. We take turns trying to kidnap one another and plotting one another’s downfall. Exchanging blackmail threats and love letters. Bouquets of roses with envenomed thorns.

Full support to Canada Post workers in the face of more attacks not just from management, but now from the government too.
It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post.
If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

Canada Post workers walking off the job after government demands reforms | CBC News
The union representing Canada's postal workers has called for a cross-country strike in the wake of the federal government announcing major reforms to Canada Post.
