But for real. Any party that fears voter turnout shouldn't be in power.

If you live in Georgia, give this a watch.

I know talking about committees that manage public infrastructure isn't the most exciting topic, but these types of elections really matter.

You don't even have to go to the polls. Grab an absentee ballot, and vote from your couch like I'm going to.

Fuck me for trying to grow beyond the job I fell into in my early 20s.

Guess I should just learn to be content as one of the peasantry.

I made the mistake of getting a "professional" critique of my resume since I'm on the hunt for a new job.

Good to know that I have "no transferable skills" and should only "continue to seek jobs in the Hospitality industry"

The Usual Choices is a 150+ page collection of short comics written by Keith Frady, with a killer row of superb artists. From Lovecraftian sci-fi to existential autobiography, this collection spans genres, but returns to themes of love, death, gods, and monsters.

My couch has a permanent divot carved into one of the cushions as it is my partner's preferred writing spot. Sometimes, you just gotta get comfy 😄

Finally back home and starting to recover from NYCC.

Gonna take a tight 24 hours to fully melt into a human blob and reconstitute before getting back to work on a sweet game jam project and finishing some long overdue updates for Secret Phoenix Society 🫠

Brunch at Alice's Tea Cup with our friends, an afternoon at MoMA, followed by a copious amount of meat served over a mound of fries, does a lovely Saturday make.

So my partner and I weren't able to get 4-Day passes for the con.

Thankfully, that means we can take a well-deserved break and explore the city a bit 😁

I'll see if I can't post some pics of our misadventures later tonight 😌

Got to test out some of the new subclass options coming to D&D 2024 later this year up here at NYCC.

It's got some really flavorful and potent options, especially for the ranger I got to play 🥶

Made up to New York for Comic Con.

Don't know if they knew I was coming, but if this is how they roll out the welcome wagon, I'm here for it 🍑

Story Spotlight!

"A Song and a Name," with art by @ryanmaniulit.bsky.social, is about a man named Tom with Alzheimer's trying desperately to recall this song that's just out of his reach. And a name that goes with it. The composer?

Watched 1978's Dawn of the Dead last night as part 2 this year's Scaredy-Cats-Watch-Horror-Movies.

I was wondering why the pacing felt off until I realized we watched the extended cut rather than the theatrical 🙃

Still a great film regardless, but I definitely prefer Night of the Living Dead 🧟‍♂️

Greg / HumbleLich 💀 @humblelich.bsky.social · 10d

Just watched it with my partner for the first time yesterday as our yearly delve into classic horror films.

It certainly lived up to the hype.

Greg / HumbleLich 💀 @humblelich.bsky.social · 11d

This is just the first of what will be many more monster movies, but mostly zombie flicks, that we're planning on watching throughout the month.

Even if you're not a fan of horror movies, October is a great time to expand your film knowledge and give it a go.

They're not as scary as you thing 😉

Greg / HumbleLich 💀 @humblelich.bsky.social · 11d

Started my annual Scaredy-Cats-Watch-Horror-Movies October with @keithfrady.bsky.social last night by watching Night of the Living Dead.

It was fantastic to see the progenitor of the modern zombie archetype and the tropes that were born with it that are now essential to the genre.
