a black cat sits on top of a glowing jack-o-lantern, its belly lit up by the light. The pumpkin is surrounded by fallen leaves. More leaves hang on black skeletal branches behind him.

So my buddy Carlota, who is taking over Dogskull Patch, has a group of feral cats to deal. She’s been trapping and neutering as possible, but one sweetheart named Big Daddy showed up on the porch limping. Some asshole shot him. She’s raising money for his amputation and care. gofund.me/3b6cf293e

I actually started this piece traditionally in 2023, but ran into problems getting the lighting right. Finally scanned it in and finished things up digitally.

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

No roasting pan? Won't the juices drip all over the inside of the oven?

I think about this a lot. Social media has conditioned us to want to share everything. We are going to have to learn that many acts of resistance need to remain secret.

Also what other horror movie has a scene that used 36,000 gallons of fake blood??

It is the antithesis of all the movies that over-explain because they're afraid of YouTube critics pointing out "plot holes."

This movie has a message and by god it nails it, with expert craft at every level.

Actually I haven't sung enough praises for this movie. This was one of the most Pure Artistic Vision films I've seen in years. It's weird! It's gross! It is running on pure Story Logic and not any kind of realistic basis.

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

This was a very good movie and you should watch it.

The best weapons we average schumucks have against facism is humor and knowledge. Knowing the truth and mocking the absurd can be extremely powerful in the face of wannabe authoritarian arrogance.

I just put a hold on it at my library. Been waiting for them to get copies in.

Why are reporters even entertaining the notion that he was ever a possibility?

Nah the funniest thing possible would be to give it to Obama *again.* You know Trump only cares because he can't stand that Obama got one.

Sounds more fun than going into the woods to scream at the sky, anyway!

A good tactic! Most snakes want nothing to do with a giant stompy human.
