Tapping the sign again to remind folks to stop using this very common and deeply embedded word when promoting Halloween season, via @sharai.bsky.social. It is still too pervasive. It is a racial slur. And yes it is harmful: horrorpress.com/editorials/1...

Remove Spook From Your Vocabulary Today

It’s officially Halloween season, and a great time to remind everyone that the word “spook” is a slur. Like many words and phrases in the English language, racists did what they do best and ruined it....

I understand why the mirror > photos issue happens but that doesn't make me any less grouchy about it

the cover of She Isn't Herself Tonight next to an image of a woman with a headache being yelled at by her reflection. The stock art is credited to Aleksei Morozov.

Text reads: You could get in a fight with your reflection. How dare she go around looking better than your photos!

I do not shame Amazon usage because it offers access to the limited, including affiliation. That said, I don't post a ton of affiliate links because I'd like those who can to use other resources. They're offering $40 for each sign up and I have debt from my surgeries. If you were going to anyway...

What is your favorite fall treat? Right now I want a baked apple. #kidlitartpostcard is ready for Halloween! I don’t know what’s in the cauldron, but I don’t think it’s baked apples. Visit my website at autumnseybert.com and see more art by me, Autumn Seybert, your friendly illustrator/author.

An elephant wearing a witch’s hat and robe stands behind a black cauldron a d sprinkles in an ingredient while checking a spell book on a tall book stand. Behind the elephant is a cheerful window with a yellow valance and a table full of plants. To the elephant’s right is a cookcase filled with books, jars of snacks, a basket of apples and a pumpkin. And corked bottles of liquids with different eyes peering out. On the top shelf a small mouse witch sweeps and atop the bookcase a brown and white cat extends a paw as if to bat the mouse.

My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.
