Ah, for a moment there I wasn’t sure if the concept was “clowns everywhere” or “we’re going to pack this kitchen with so many cooks”. 🤡🤔

It's Knife Ghost season.

A pumpkin patch. In the distance, a faint image of a blue ghost surrounded by a halo of carving knives. The text reads: you're carving. The knife ghost waits. Because you're using a knife. Instead of a pumpkin carving kit. Always use a pumpkin carving kit, never a knife.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

I’m beginning to suspect I’m being herded during the night because I go to sleep in a vertical line but wake up in a diagonal with the dog either against my hip or the small of my back.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

I still like watching clips of corgis but now my attention is drawn to the serious toys they have. Rocket is a super chewer and I’m on the lookout for stuffed toys he can’t savage.

Happy October! Welcome to spooky season; I hope that it’s pleasantly creepy enough for everyone. Remember, I’m proud of you for all the things you do and all the things you are. #rabbitrabbit 🐰🐰🐰

Rocket was feeling a little poorly this morning and didn’t eat his breakfast but he seems to have made a comeback. He consumed his dinner, nearly tore off a tentacle on his chew octopus, and is now napping.

Got my license renewed and the address on my son’s id changed. My glasses are in production so once everything arrives in the mail, I can do the final step which is fixing the car. It will be nice to be mobile again.

Finally found the box where my dvds were hiding. It’s a great sense of relief because I have a lot of films and didn’t feel like doing a hunt for mass replacement. 😮‍💨

Since Rocket is still a relatively young dog, I’m supposed to encourage naps. I was hoping to take one with him this morning, but he’s sleeping on the couch blanket and taking up most of the room. 😐

Auntie Babs @kittykatya.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

However, I’m psyched about next month. Horror has been leading the way lately on original concepts so the October #svfilmfest will be featuring a few diverse choices of “Modern Horror”. Hope you’ll join us - until then, sleep well, lovelies. #svfilmfest #dinomite 😺🎟️🦖

Woof. That was long, painful, and spent way too much time at the front end on character development when people could have been getting eaten. Since that was eons longer than expected, we’re cutting the fest one film short. #boo

However, sometimes you’re not mining or hunting or trying to capture Nazis; sometimes you’re just researching native species and the darn dinosaurs just show up. Witness “Carnivores: Jurassic Predators” here at the #svfilmfest. #dinomite 😺🎟️🦖 Trailer: youtu.be/E4Y8Dq_Xlp4?...

And again, we are delving too far and too deep, but for iridium rather than mithril. Not surprisingly, their big cavern full of minerals also is full to the brim of dinosaurs and it’s up to the locals to save themselves. It’s “Cowboys vs Dinosaurs” here at Dino-mite! #svfilmfest #dinomite 😺🎟️🦖

Now, we’re back on our nonsense of heading to islands where people probably shouldn’t be. It’s the 1960 flick, “Dinosaurus!”. #svfilmfest #dinomite 😺🎟️🦖 Trailer: youtu.be/RYzQ9tAHSFw?...

Back to the second theme of the fest: dinosaurs in modern locations up to shenanigans. We move along to a sprinkle of time travel in Los Angeles which has consequences (as no one would have guessed): it’s “100 Million BC”. #svfilmfest #dinomite 😺🎟️🦖 Trailer: youtu.be/j4z2PBMW1mY?...

Well, that was certainly a film. Moving on, we hit a recurring theme in today’s fest: showing up to an island where prehistoric predators still roam. It’s the 1975 film, “The Land That Time Forgot” with Doug McClure and Anthony Ainsley. #svfilmfest #dinomite 😺🎟️🦖 Trailer: youtu.be/d0K97czqecQ?...
