I'm told it's lesbian visibility week, usually I would joke about how I'm always visible thanks to my highly lesbian t-shirt collection. Today I will post my collection of short stories from the great @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social. Messy lesbians having monster problems all over the place. Scary!

Betty and Veronica are getting dressed in a changing room. An inhuman round face appears in the transom above the door. "IIK!" shrieks Veronica, while Betty gets to the root of the percieved problem: "UN VOYEUR!"

Everyone wants a friend, but no one wants a "friend."
A mostly offscreen character stands with their hand on the back of another character, who wears a big frown. The back pat has red lines radiating from it, and the sound it makes is a sickening "SPLAT." The frowny figure says "I'm not into this," and the caption reads "DON'T PAT ME ON THE BACK WITH A KNIFE IN YOUR HAND."

The thing about social media is that when you open an app and see good news, you should repost it, stop scrolling, and close your browser. Don't keep putting money in the slot machine once you've won the jackpot. Take your cute dog photos and go before you get 5 more planes falling out of the sky.

The Monkees vs. Beatles thing maths out pretty simply. Mickey Dolenz > Ringo. You with me so far? (Davey Jones + Peter Tork) > George Harrison. That makes sense, right? And all that's left is Mike Nesmith > Lennon/McCartney and we're in business. Monkees > Beatles. Piece of cake.

A circle with smaller circles inside, and occasional breaks so it's like a maze. The outer layer is all green, and the green seems to be seeping through the holes until it is pressed up against the yellow-orange in the center. The text reads "CONSOLIDATE YOUR LAYERS"

Anyone know the story of this sad little jello mold? I'll tell you all I know. I was in SF last summer and we went into this store that was just vending machines that sold tiny toys. A bunch of the toy lines were different characters, or foods or objects in this same hunched-over position. 1/

Weird collage on the back of the office door
Abstract cutout shapes and fruit and pieces of metal. A sculpted metal mask in the center with a ball (or fruit) nose and cutout horns sticking out of the top. I made this out of a catalog containing 2 very different but both famous artists, Miro, maybe, and someone else. I can't remember. Anyway, it looks fantastic.

I don't know the name of the meme, but it's like the one with the guy and the girl and the other girl, except this time it's in black and white and the guy is Henry from Eraserhead and he's looking at the lady from the radiator while his baby is shocked and appalled.

Get a "free" autograph and watch the "rangers" battle the "evil" drug monster! Just unearthed this gem from the archives.

It's early Saturday morning, and I'm here watching cartoons in the commisary media room at the Excuse Me office complex (Building 4B). Here's a thing I wrote in 2017 about one of my childhood favorites. We need Hong Kong Phooey now more than ever. www.suspendedanimation.online/single-post/...
suspendedanimation.online
Hong Kong Phooey! He's Your Hero Too!
We’re in the city, high above a ticker-tape parade. Who’s the parade for? A super-hero riding in the back of a car. From behind, you can tell he’s got really long ears, with more fur on them than than most people's ears have. Who is this super-hero? It sure ain’t Sarge (or Sarge’s hero, Super Sergeant). It’s not Rosemary, the telephone operator with the big glasses and impossibly short skirt. And no, I know what you’re thinking, but it isn’t Spot, the clever cat who gets a lot of things done

It's a good day to dig the new Killer Barbies single, with Excuse Me issue 8 featured artist Billy King on the drums (presumably someone plays bass and guitar, too, put THEY don't rate to be in the pic w/ Silvia Superstar)I love these guys so much! open.spotify.com/track/3RQf0u...

Someone on FB Marketplace selling PALLETS full of (presumably) porch-pirated packages. I appreciate people who can think outside the box, but this strikes me as a particularly bad idea.
Facebook ad selling giant boxes of unopened packages for $600 each.
