A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Have been shepherding my beloved parents through some tough times for the last 4 months and we do a lot of texting. They are a young 76 and can tech enough. Voice calls are reserved for true emergencies. But the texts have carried heavy things too.

Drove south for the holidays and it was shocking to see Lake Shasta almost to full to the tree line and the San Joaquin was GREEN. Like fields with the happiest cows I have seen in ages. Have driven the I-5 corridor for almost 20 years. Never has it been GREEN.

If you’re turned away at the polls (in Virginia or anywhere in the U.S.), here’s what to do: - Request a written explanation: If poll workers deny your regular ballot, ask them to put in writing why they refused it.

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!
