Had a great night in with the kids instead of going out last night. #Halloween cupcakes, a couple of movies, questionable amounts of sugar, and a whole lot of enjoying the company of one another.

Three chocolate cupcakes sit on a light wooden surface, each topped with swirled frosting in vibrant Halloween colors and adorned with colorful sprinkles. The cupcake in sharp focus at the center foreground features bright green frosting piped in a tall spiral, decorated with orange, yellow, purple, and lime green jimmies and rod-shaped sprinkles that catch the light. Behind it to the left, a cupcake with deep purple frosting is crowned with yellow jimmies. To the right, another green-frosted cupcake displays orange and multicolored sprinkles across its swirled peak. All three cupcakes rest in ridged tan paper liners with scalloped edges. Scattered sprinkles in yellow, green, and dark brown dot the wooden surface beneath the cupcakes. A bright lime green spatula with a straight edge enters the frame from the right side, its handle extending out of view. The lighting creates soft shadows on the wooden board and highlights the glossy sheen of the frosting.

A single chocolate cupcake commands the foreground on a light wooden surface, its deep purple frosting swirled high and densely covered with bright yellow jimmies that create a striking contrast against the rich plum color. The cupcake sits in a ridged golden-tan paper liner with pleated sides. Behind it, slightly out of focus, two more cupcakes with bright green frosting display multicolored sprinkles including orange, yellow, purple, and lime green varieties. The wooden surface shows natural grain patterns and is scattered with stray sprinkles in yellow, lime green, and dark purple. The shallow depth of field draws attention to the texture of the yellow sprinkles clustered on the purple frosting, while the background cupcakes provide pops of complementary color. Natural-looking light illuminates the scene from above, creating subtle shadows and emphasizing the glossy quality of the buttercream frosting.

Let's talk about this for a moment, because Erick was correct in everything he said. The dogpile from other white people was typical, and is also something that, if you aren't taking the time to learn about your own racism, is going to have Black and brown folks stepping back from you.

Erick Rees @erickrees1.bsky.social · 5d

Yet another account I used to follow. Man was I stupid….

White people like this dude can’t anoint themselves “Ally”. It doesn’t work that way. Especially when you don’t know what racism is and how it works.

Gotta love the “I don’t want to change the world…” quote too. SMFH

The trees stretch bare against the cold,
their roots deep in forgotten dreams,
while shadows cling to every hollow,
where fire once danced in green.

Who wants to start a pool on this being some stupid detail in an #AI automation that got pushed live without the understaffed tech team who are being slowly replaced by said AI catching it?

If it’s just finances, could we possibly crowdfund a candy fund? You’ve done amazing Sharkoween things as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t mind helping keep that going for you and your community.

The fact that some prominent Democrats defend a Maine Senate primary candidate’s Nazi tattoo while he isn’t even leading in polls, but not defend a NYC mayor primary winner from false smears even as he’s leading general election polls says a lot.

That doesn’t seem driven by voter preference.

Casper

Casper is a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine. When specialist James Harvey arrives to communicate with Casper and his fellow spirits, he brings along his teenage daughter, Kat. Casper quickly falls in love with Kat, but their budding relationship is complicated not only by his transparent state, but also by his troublemaking apparition uncles and their mischievous antics.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.
