The spooky season has arrived, and that means Creepy Biology is upon us. It's time to talk origins. It's time to talk gore. It's time to talk about BLOOD. Specifically, YOUR blood 🩸 [a thread]

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Foreman said “stand right there” and a small forklift machine pulled up, slid the jaw under the detached sidewalk, and moved the bus stop where it would be safe. I stood on the stop, and the flagger flagged down the bus for me. I was equally charmed and impressed!

They were repaving the road, you see, and had the bus stop sign on one discrete square of sidewalk. Everything else was chewed up or gone. I walked up apologetic and asked if I could still catch the bus or if I would have to walk down a stop.

I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

Continuing to refine my half-elven paladin costume. Original design by @valentinebarker.com , gradual accretion of costume pieces from various local and online vendors. Valentine did the moon/diamond design for her shield originally but I decided to use it as a tattoo cover up today.
A white brunette half-elven woman in a purple gambeson and black leather accoutrements. On her left shoulder is a tattoo design of a black crescent moon with a purple diamond and silver accents. she has a superior elven smirk.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

(I’d like to be done in 8 so I can go hang with friends with a clear conscience, but I can pack grading if absolutely necessary.) (I have a 3D print that I might rescue, sand, and prime as a palate cleanser, depending on how rough the grading goes.)

After five hours, the Scantrons are tabulated, one of the paper exams is entirely done, and I’m down to 45 electronic assignments. *\o/* Had to stop because I am definitely over-caffeinated and need a change of focus and scenery.

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.
