Meet Hazel the Rainbow Flower Ghost bag! I designed and hand-sewed her, and I hand-embroidered her rainbow flowers. As a bag, she enjoys carrying cursed or enchanted items, depending on her mood.

Here's a lovely photo of Hazel. She's a fabric art ghost bag with a metal clasp on the top of her head. She's a white ghost with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. She's covered with hand-embroidered flowers. Each petal is a different color of the rainbow. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background. Hazel is resting on my palm.

Here's a lovely photo of the back of Hazel. She has one rainbow flower embroidered on her back.

Here's a lovely photo of a peek into Hazel. The lining of the bag is a black fabric featuring gold mystical objects. There's a moon, stars, a crow with a witch hat, a potion, a tree.

“Finally sitting down for my annual ‘Hellboy’/‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’ double feature.”

Text reads:

You‘ve been kidnapped.

Your kidnappers allow you keep posting on social media to pretend everything is alright.

What would you post that would alarm your followers, without the kidnapper knowing you’re asking for help?

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

On this day in queer history: Oct 14, 1977

During a live TV appearance in Iowa, anti-gay activist Anita Bryant was hit with a pie in protest of her “Save Our Children” campaign. A sweet moment of queer resistance.

Funny how often people talk about rich fools trying to avoid societal collapse in isolated bunkers as if it's a new phenomenon and not something Edgar Allan Poe wrote a very famous story about in 1842.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

Hoo boy, where to start? This magic card is called "Demonic Tutor" and depicts a typical Western European Christian demon with big curling horns, a smoldering expression, sharp teeth, and big black wings holding onto an androgynous-looking human with an open-fronted robe and dark hair, eyes closed, one hand in the demon's and the other reaching upward to channel some kind of power. The flavor text says, 'Betray to me your innocence, and I shall speak to you of power and corruption.' However sexy you are imagining it to be, it is sexier than that. The artist is Kieran Yanner, and I owe them a debt of gratitude.

average horror protagonist: the true horror is worrying that you might be going INSANE!!

me, already insane: fucking bring it, you bitchass ghost

Amazing Digital Carcass @amagire.bsky.social · 1d

but also EVENTUALLY it will occur to someone other than me that a genuinely mentally ill person, with a lot of experience dismissing their own intrusive thoughts/ delusions/ hallucinations, would make a GREAT horror protagonist.
