Whenever I think “fine, I’ll just do it myself” at work and take something over that they should be more than capable of accomplishing, I have this fantasy that they feel embarrassed that I had to bail them out. What is really probably happening? They’re watching cartoons and not thinking about […]

Another estate sale haul (I have a problem!). A few more McFarlane #spiderman issues, some very early #StarWars, and a copy of Marvel Team-up 141 which ties Amazing Spider-Man 252 for the first appearance of the black symbiote costume. #comicbooks #comics #marvel

Hey there, everyone, especially those around #LafayetteIN #Indiana. I wrote a 10-minute psychological & religious horror play that will have a staged reading on either October 14 or 15. (Not sure which day yet.) This will be at Matchbox coworking studio - 17 […] [Original post on hoosier.social]

A playbill for "Tales from the Script" that looks like an old pulp comic cover. It says "Greater Lafayette Playwrights present: Tales from the Script". An evening of Spooky staged readings from local playwrights. At Matchbox Coworking Studio - 17 South 6th Street Lafayette. 7 PM October 14th and 15th."
It also features an illustration of a 1950's stylized woman screaming.

I stayed with friends in Central Jersey and you could EASILY get to every mid-size New Jersey city, NYC, and Philly on a train that was almost as fast as driving or faster in many cases. I don't understand why Indianapolis isn't at least connected to Lafayette and Bloomington and Muncie.. ANYMORE

@mszll I started experimenting with the Moderation -> Username rules page. I added bp0, bp1, bp2, etc with “Contains” as the method of comparison. I’ve been adding some others (e.g., bca, bpc, bpd, bpe) as they come up. This has helped to cut down on the problem significantly.
