Is your brain full of mind vampires?

A comic all in red, depicting a man with a cut out of his brain with a vampire skulking inside of it.
Big text at the top says "is your brain full of mind vampires? you are not alone."
The vampire says "bleh! bleh! I am 2000 years old. Bleh! your only desire now is to find my amulet."
The man says "Dang, gotta find that amulet."

Further text at the bottom says "there is no cure for mind vampires but there is support and management. Know the warning signs, get help early."

Food processors are a great time saver until you remember you don’t own a dishwasher. Made a double batch of cauliflower walnut “meat” - gonna make another vegan tourtière. I wonder what vegan boudin noir would be.

Two baking trays lined with parchment and filled with a seasoned walnut and cauliflower mixture for a fake meat crumbles

It’s just helpful for because I’m into hardcore but don’t go to shows anymore so I never hear what’s up and coming. Paying attention to who bands I like are touring with or playing with and who labels are tuned into had been great for finding new stuff!

I also really love that unlike the streaming app (I use Apple Music) all the songs when I open up Bandcamp are things I made a deliberate choice about.

That’s awesome. I started following a few labels on bandcamp, so the balance has really tipped, but at least half my library is definitely people I know personally.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era. Our latest cover story: tinyurl.com/3m6nawpj

Mother Jones magazine cover linking the Roberts Supreme Court to a revival of Jim Crow: a black judicial robe hangs next to a white KKK hooded robe with a hand reaching toward it; headline "The Southern Strategy" and subhead "Jim Crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

Laser was a lot easier than electro for me, but electro was a lot easier than laser for my pal? I’m wondering if it’s just because it’s what we each started with, and it always sucks in the beginning, especially if it’s before HRT kicked in?

On the rust hunt for a side-round plane off and on and everything I find is in the UK. Seems to be the case with a lot of vintage tools I want - with shipping and import fees I’m starting to think flying over and stuffing my carryon with vintage tools would be cheaper haha

Obsessed with these fruit flavored computer cases I saw on Reddit

Six ATX cases in translucent and colored translucent plastic, like a vintage original iMac but an ATX case. There are signs stuck to them advertising them and the price in I presume Japanese. There are marked ¥125

Haute P12’s are like $40 shipped on eBay so I guess I’m going to try leverless

A black leverless fightstick, with eight buttons in two rows of four in a subtle arc on the right hand side for actions, and three buttons in an arc on the left for directions, with a slightly larger button on the lower side for up/jump. It is entirely matte black and has a row of four tiny round buttons along the top right edge and a small screen I guesss in the upper left. It’s being held by a hand

And there were four. I think last time I hacksawed the end off of these? I like the more sunken into the handle of the older two (left) that I made. Slapped on a layer of paste wax and away we go. Usage will tell if I like the larger handles better.

Four drawbore pins made of steel drift pins stuck into octagonal wooden handles. The handles on the left are birch the ones on the left beech. The beech handles are somewhat larger and the pins stick out a bit more.

Listen, I don’t know a better way to drill a 5/16” hole this deep in endgrain than with a bit and brace. I love this old bit that some craftsman had made an individual stamped holder for.

A spofford brace with a 5/16” Jennings pattern but in the non/ratcheting thumbscrew chuck. Next to it the holder for the bit and the two drawbore pins in progress. A mechanical pencil and metal pocket rule also sit on the bench.

The 5/16” Jennings bit laying on the vintage wooden holder someone made. It’s a well patinated wood with a numeral 5 stamped on one end, shaped like a ln octagon with a hole bored most of its depth to hold the drill bit.

Had to grab a still from the video because the audio is mostly L feeding cats in the background - this is the quickest and most comfortable way to bevel the ends of the handles, using the same bench hook and super sharp chisel.

A hand presses the handle against a bench hook, with its thumb guiding the back of a chisel to make a paring cut across the grain to bevel the ends of the handles.

JessicAaahh!!! Real Monsters @loveandcrossbones.org · 29/09/2026

Ends chamfered and quickly blockplaned and these are smooth as butter and ready to be drilled for a tool. I’m going to use the two I finished for drawbore pins. I don’t know about the third yet.

Three octagonal handles, made of quartersawn beech, slightly wider in one direction to fit a hand comfortably, with beveled ends lay in a pile on the bench. (One still needs an end beveled)

JessicAaahh!!! Real Monsters @loveandcrossbones.org · 29/09/2026

Rotate and cut, never cutting where the you can’t see and you get a nice smooth cut with minimal cleanup

Dividing by three in fractional inches is hard. A normal person would use metric, but I’ve grown more and more accustomed to just not using a ruler at all.

An octagonal stick laying on the bench marked out divided in length into three. (Each handle is about 5 1/3rd inches) Next to it, the antique dividers that were used to mark out the divisions and a pencil to darken the marks

After dealing with that squirrely walnut, grabbing an offcut of quartersawn beech to knock out some tools handles is such a joy!

A bevel jack plane next to a stick of quarter sawn beech shaped into a rough octagon. Next to it is a huge pile of shavings and the ever important cup of coffee
