If you take the skin off an avocado pit and leave them out for a bit they turn into something Lovecraftian. You can cut small lines into them that ooze the dried blood color over time.

For me it was forest sprite turned evil, but they can't see it in themselves because of some kind of curse (trauma).

An image ripped from a generic search for forest pixie of a small figure with pale skin except for rosy cheeks, large soft eyes, and a relaxed mouth.

Just watched an episode of Shangri-La Frontier tonight featuring Vysache a former king of the Vorpal Bunnies. It's fun to see how Japan has acknowledged the warrior spirit in rabbits for so long.

The character Vysache from the anime Shangri-La Frontier. The imposing former king of the Vorpal Bunnies is a sizeable white-gray rabbit with a battle-scarred right eye and ear. He is holding court and smoking a pipe while surrounded by his entourage of much smaller female rabbits.

Was rewatching some Inuyasha tonight and saw the title card for the next episode. I was like, "Is that too much to ask for?" My cats and wife seemed to understand what I was talking about implicitly.

It is the Charlie Browniest of Christmases.

Been rewatching Inuyasha, and I felt a strange kinship with Shippo tonight.

An image of the character Shippo from the anime Inuyasha. He's standing in front of the large, snarling, saber-toothed cat Kirara and the passed out form of the monk, Miroku. Shippo is just beginning to be touched by the embers of a large fire he's completely surrounded by, and he's saying, "I gotta keep it together."

I was grateful when I discovered Vaclav Havel's "The Power of the Powerless" and was given a metric to judge how far a government has shifted toward totalitarianism even while they champion their country's freedom.

Quote from Vaclav Havel: Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to prosecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.

Still as true as when Kliban drew this. I just wish we'd listen to those voices more.

Foucault sounds paranoid until the wheel of history turns around enough to see what he's been saying. Work camps for the unhoused were always waiting to come back into style, and never left completely in some state prison systems. Society will now just grind down those who fall through the cracks.

A quote from Michel Foucault's Madness and Civilization above a drawing depicting an aerial view of an English workhouse compound with a banner above that says The Prospect of Bridewell.
The quote reads, "In the mercantilist economy, the Pauper, being neither producer nor consumer, had no place: idle, vagabond, unemployed, he belonged only to confinement, a measure by which he was exiled and as it were abstracted from society. With the nascent industry which needs manpower, he once again plays a part in the body of the nation."

I was five, it was ridiculous, but it still made me afraid to walk in the woods alone for a few years. Watched it again in college with some friends, and we couldn't stop laughing.

Just look what you get when you overlay Alligator Alcatraz and historic hurricane paths. I'm sure they have a plan for a safe evacuation, for the staff at least.

I thought these two characters deserved their own spinoff the first time I saw them, and I only now realize it's because they perfectly filled my need for this kind of entertainment.
