Nearly done with this sewing project! Changed to collar style, so will be curious to see how it all fits together! Love the color though.

Having just a delightful time. Wishing Legendary was still available on HBOMAX, but this is a good bit too.

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.

A cool thing this year: TWO GRAVES made @bookriot.bsky.social Best Horror Comics of the 2020s, in fantastic company. bookriot.com/horror-comic... Delighted the book left an impression; very proud of what we made. @anniewu.bsky.social @mingdoyle.bsky.social @adityab.net @jenmargretsmith.bsky.social
The cover of TWO GRAVES Vol. 1: Wish You Were Here. Busts of Emilia, lit by neon (drawn by Annie Wu), and Death, his face wreathed in smoke (drawn by Ming Doyle), stand back-to-back, surrounded by elements of their road trip: motel signs, aspens, Cally the Whale, a serpent, the Three Hunters, irrigation circles, a pomegranate, and a burst of flowers.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Really strong piece from @mmasnick.bsky.social and spot on analysis of the NYT's behavior. Observed exactly this type of agenda-driven BS for the lab leak nonsense from them again and again; honestly totally disqualifying and people should be highly critical of NYT agenda and reporting

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.
