Had a dream last night that was the usual mess, but at the end, I was watching a giant polar bear walk toward me, carrying a volcano like a snailshell on its back.

“Welp,” I said to the person next to me, “that’s either a god or a Pokemon.”

This guy has wildly escaped containment and I love that people like it, but to reiterate:
1.Yes you can get it as a tattoo.
2.No you cannot sell craft patterns or merch
3.I appreciate the mistake and yes I do have the personality of a morose victorian poet, but this is from 2024 and under copyright.

A new book! By me! About something 'orrible on the London Underground!
It's out in six months and I think you're gonna like it...
‼️ COVER REVEAL ‼️

There's something lurking in the stifling darkness and labyrinthine tunnels that run below London... something old, something vicious, and something very, very hungry.

My sister @briespangler.bsky.social has a new etsy shop! She's a professional illustrator and is doing pet designs

Also she's been staying with us and for unknown reasons she added two dog shirts to the store, no idea why, these dogs certainly don't look familiar to me

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

one of the grimmest things I’ve ever read, but happily it does contain the phrase “mysterious constellation of brutal practices”
Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.

What is best in life? To connect with as much joy as needed to be able to share it with others; to gladly be the beacon for Gondor's aid; and to seek and destroy the reasons for lamentations caused by the cruel.

Slightly before dawn
each day, she died.

Sleep like death &
death like sleep

are common curses
Fair folk & wicked queens

are not always precise
in their diction.

There are consequences
for imprecision,

it is always someone else
who has to pay.
