spent part of my commute home alongside an old Camry with purple racing stripes, a backseat full of stuffed black trashbags and a Nevada license plate reading DADDY'S GIRL driven by a guy who looked like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

been chuckling to myself all day about the concept of poems only available at target
cover of a book of poems with a sticker reading “only at target - includes bonus poems”

all these AI-personalized content slop enthusiasts are weirdos who just want to stare into a mirror in all aspects of their lives and never be challenged or surprised by the world, art or people. truly baffling to me.

i dunno if i ever woulda signed up to instagram if it had been pitched to me as "you follow a bunch of people you're friends with/interested in and then we just show you posts by people you've never heard of instead"

“Fish” can be both singular (one individual fish) or plural (multiple fish of the same species.) “Fishes” refers to individuals of different species. 🐟 Fish 🐟🐟🐟 Fish 🐠🐟🐡 Fishes Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

if i wasn't already going to see it, "the most American movie since PAIN AND GAIN" would be the line to convince me

i love this flyer for the amount of clarification added after it was “done” cause this guy is tired of his phone blowing up with people trying to get a few bucks for their Doonesbury collections

honestly, i think Swaylor is a good first name. kind of like a sailor, kind of like a taylor, and a fun "swuh" sound right up front

not opposed to an abbrev, but 1) i don't want "mushy" and my food to be in proximity to each other 2) shrooms was already sitting there

happy LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS day to those who observe it (it's me, i'm the one who observes it)
opening titles to LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS that read: "on the twenty-third day of the month of September, in an early year of a decade not too long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence"

same spot outside the coffeeshop, same guy, only today he says "i got a 2008 mercedes benz for 700 bucks" and then explains how he doesn't have the title and someone spilled milk in the backseat. i politely declined.

someone out here improving the spooky abandoned house on my street

Christopher Sebela @xtop.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
started today with someone bolting out of their house to tell me to stop my dog from peeing on the verge (the grassy area b/w the sidewalk and street). some folks have wild ideas that they somehow own everything in front of their house and i know just enough about public right of way to be annoying.

more like YESident Evil (i liked it a lot, Cregger with a 3 for 3 reputation so far, relieved that all my worrying that him doing big name IP would squeeze him into someone else's structure and shave off what makes his movies great)

coming up from a very iffy couple of mental health weeks in my rearview so i'm giving myself the gift of going to see RESIDENT EVIL and no one can stop me

Team HIGH CRIMES together again for the first time! We got my brother @20eyesbrad.bsky.social to ride with us on this one, with Joe Sabino's letters bringing it home. Killer logo by the homie @whoisrico.bsky.social Very excited to be jamming on a book with @xtop.bsky.social again.
Dulcinea Del Tobaso rides toward us on horseback, away her barn alight with flames in the background. A haunting, yellow-eyed image of Don Quixote looms above in shadow.

during my best mental health moments, i've always been kinda bad at self-promotion and i've just climbed out of a 2 week pit of darkness, so this is all wildly uncomfortable for me. but i'm gonna keep trying to push my stuff because even if i'm a goddamn mess, my books are good and worth reading.

Here we go. Reunited with @ibrahimmoustafa.bsky.social for the 1st time in over a decade (with stunning colors by @20eyesbrad.bsky.social + logo by @whoisrico.bsky.social), we've turned Don Quixote into a monstrous madman on a bloody journey thru La Mancha with Dulcinea hunting him down. Can't wait.
