Thank you, that’s good to know! I had always assumed they were also big.

That’s good, thank you! I’d been wondering about a wolf spider just due to size, and hoping it was not a recluse or something, in which case I’d have to burn the house down and launch myself off the planet. 😅

Labeled as graphic just so that the arachnophobs like myself don’t have to see it.

Anyone know what kind of spider this is? We get a lot of them (especially in the summer), and I’d love to know if it’s something I need to be concerned about either for people or pets. Spider subreddit didn’t give me any replies. Funko pop for scale.

Pulled back photo of the spider, with a One Punch Man funko pop next to it for purposes of scale.

September stack. Favorite of the month was Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, which was a re-read from high school or college). Favorite of the new reads was The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association by Caitlin Rozakis. I liked the whole group, good fall vibes!

Six books stacked on top of some pumpkins. The books from top to bottom are:
-The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer
-The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association by Caitlin Rozakis
-Tales from the Gas Station Vol. 1 by Jack Townsend
-The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
-How to Survive Camping: The Man with No Shadow by Bonnie Quinn
-Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

Boyang Jin is 28?! That can only make sense with how long I’ve followed skating now, but at the same time that CANNOT be true. In his Uncle era. ⛸️

When no one in your immediate real-life circle knows or cares about ice dance shenanigans

Sad Pablo meme- a grid of three photos from the show Narcos, featuring the same man in each photo but in different locations, looking pensive and sad and staring into the middle distance off camera, with the camera pulled back a bit to emphasize the feeling of loneliness

My long weekend at my local convention was not long enough. 😭

The big figure skating competitions like the Grand Prix are mostly streamed on Peacock, with some replays on NBC that won’t necessarily show the whole event unfortunately. And the Peacock streams will be live, and then up for replay for only 2 or 3 days. VPN + YouTube is a good option instead.
