Was out planting bulbs and this guy scared the bejesus out of me. In theory we don't have black widows west of the Cascades, but I flipped her over with a bamboo stick to check for an hourglass, just to be sure. (This is likely a false widow, which eats pest bugs.)

She's clearly been busy. 😂 A good reminder that not all imperfections are a sign that something is wrong.

Went out to check on the garden and accidentally came back inside with a friend. All the bees are slowing down this time of year--either getting ready to overwinter or to die--and quite docile. This is a leafcutter, so she's at the end of her life cycle. I found a nice zinnia in a sunny spot for her

It’s an early start midweek game and thus somewhat sparsely attended, so every voice counts. We were chit chatting during the set up for a corner kick and one of the capos called “124! Get your hands up!” We got our hands up. 😂

I regret (or delight) to inform you that new JCO discourse has hit the timeline, and this time it is NUCLEAR
Screenshot from Threads reading: I had to unblock this creature in order to see if this was real. What a horrendous human she is. FUCK AI. FUCK JCO. Then a screenshot of a JCO tweet reading: This is why AI-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine writes it?

Don't be fooled by the cute face. In the last 2 weeks, this creature has killed and eaten his entire janitorial staff. Two amano shrimp. A detritus worm. At least one ramshorn snail. (He's sizing up another one here.) Now there is algae growing everywhere. Whose fault is that, buddy.

Past the equinox and the garden is still chugging along. (Though I won't show you the sad state of the vegetable bed.) We're on an urban heat island, so we often have something in bloom through October and even into November, though it'll start slowing down as we lose the light.

Next, it's BLACK CAT Issue 13, which brings Felicia's accidental beef with the Punisher to a conclusion--with some surprising results. Is there more in store? Oh yes. Will Felicia feature in the Queen in Black? Stick around for Issue 14, which is fun as hell.

It's a THREE book week for me--I don't think that's ever happened before--and they're all big ones. It's a very dark night in Gotham as Ivy realizes how meaningless power is within a corrupt system...and hands the city over to the Parliament of Trees. BAD SEEDS: SUNSET and POISON IVY #47 out now.
Screencap of a page from Bad Seeds: Sunset, in which Ivy says "I fight for the Earth, Janet. This is what I do." Janet replies 'But humans are part of the earth. Part of the ecosystem. Isn't that what you told me> You can't destroy one without destroying the other. You can't save one without saving the other." Ivy replies "I thought I could save both. But this system is so curt, I couldn't even save myself."

Last year, I planted beach strawberries and pine berries in the same bed. Foolishly, it did not occur to me that they would hybridize. Anyway the hybrids have just started putting out these tiny fruit, which are the most otherworldly little flavor-bombs I've ever tasted. Like pineapple fruit punch.

If the world wasn't burning to ash, this aspect of climate change--revealing the past, the bones in riverbeds, the inscriptions on rocks, "ghost gardens"--would be really cool. As it stands, it feels like a bad omen.
