So I could REALLY use some help digging my way out of a debt hole right now, so any sales from my Etsy Shop (www.goodwalrusgoods.com) or from my Ko-Fi (ko-fi.com/arosales/shop) treat yourself or a friend to some rad prints, cute stickers or/and get my zines! Reposts SUPER appreciated!! 💖 #mutualaid

Serves me right for expanding my range right before a global pandemic, I guess 🫠 Anyway I guess I need to do a "vault sale" with discounts.

I think if I'd bought this and it had happened over time in use, it would not be a big deal, but I have to tell this buyer I'm not sure I should send it. Fortunately I'd sold most of them ages ago, but you should not sit on this type of merch.

So fyi: if you have acrylic keychain merch (pretty sure this is recycled acrylic), it can yellow in storage, and it's very obvious if you have large areas of white in your design
Back (printed) side of acrylic keychain of the Fresno Nightcrawler, lifting one leg up in a flirty way and wearing jolts. It looks okay but the clear acrylic at the edges has a yellow cast.Other side of same keychain, with acrylic dome over the print. It is pretty obviously NOT white where it should be on the white Nightcrawler, and the whole thing has a sepia tone and looks old.

I hate this in general but I extra hate this for people at Epic who did not make this decision, were not involved in making this decision, and will have to choose between full steam towards the iceberg, or jumping into freezing water with no lifeboat

Halloween infusion center additional update (not sure why they didn't do the obvious pun, but I always respect handicraft)
Brown paper attached o the wall, hand painted to say "Spooky from 9 to 5" with a stack of pumpkins, a pink disco ball with a bat in front of it, and a ghost in a pink cowboy hat. Cutout pink bats all around.

This Indigenous People's Day, I wanted to promote the incredible handmade leather work by my good friend Tommy, Native Necromancy on fb, @amealformaggots on insta. He is Lenape of the Turtle Clan. You can see his work in person at both Gonzo Glass Studio and Cerridwen's Hearth in Mount Holly NJ.

Honestly a little relieved other people have noticed that it's become a nightmare. Finder is better than Spotlight, but it's still become way harder to find, like, files? Why have they broken one of the most basic things an OS should do

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

Actually I do know why horror helps; for the same reason a massage helps. Being scared of something that can't hurt you helps you cope with things that can. If it's an actuve injury, you can do more harm than good; but fiction can be a way to release tension you're holding from reality.

Been watching Mystic Nine, which is "what if Blue Prince was Cube, but with martial artists in 1900s China." Not sure who that admittedly wild pitch is for, but I guess: me? (CW: animal death, briefly.)

"It hadn't been since World War II since we've done that," Hegseth told Posobiec, describing how he thought it was a "no-brainer" to request a firing squad execution. "Well, I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was win.
Which was understand when the enemy attacks you, you stand your ground."

One of the paintings that was stolen was this one, framed. It’s big - like 15x20”. I’ve been tasked with putting together an inventory, which is an awful thing to do. I’m grateful that I have five paintings in my apartment on my walls, but for some reason I stored this one.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end
