My husbeast knows I love #cryptids (I’m not a believer by any stretch, but I gobble up it up), so when he played cryptid mini golf over the weekend in WV he got me a #mothman suncatcher

I can’t believe there’s a Pokemon named Guzzlord and we just allow it

Finally watching last week’s THE PITT and, hey, #ohio people, is that the first ever product placement for Jeni’s Ice Cream?

Actually just ban all Americans regardless, since we should have taken to the streets, shut the country down, and forced his removal during his first term.

Or just who they voted for. If they say Trump or refuse to answer, make them cry like that lady in Ireland and deny them service.

MAGA doesn’t deserve to travel or be part of the international community.

Valid Library Card Required to Enter Hamilton's Central Library Beginning March 16 Safety crisis prompts access restrictions at Central Library.

This hurts to even think about.

There’s no denying this is unethical. But things would need to be really bad for a library to make this choice. I read the board reports, things are REALLY bad.

Cities must dedicate more resources to counter crises so it doesn’t all fall on the library.

I love how she frames it she was hared for being American and not hated for being a shitty, fascist American

Comics News Returning to Print Once upon a time, before the world wide web, probably before most of you were born, we got our news from print publications – that included comics news. The internet put an end to that. Not that I can...

Tiffany Babb (@explodingarrow.bsky.social) is reviving print comics journalism by launching a monthly 12-page print zine called The Comics Staple

Oh right, cats are completely unaware of daylight saving time

I maybe kinda forgot about Spring Forward, so now I’m shoving an A&W Grandpa Burger in my face at 4AM instead of 3AM.

Come on, Quebec and New York, get rid of daylight saving time so Ontario will.

Aladdin hiding from a T-Rex

Aladdin hiding from a T-Rex

I love how just…weird some of the episodes of the ALADDIN TV series were.

Like β€œMuch Abu About Something,” when a bunch of people trapped on a mountain send a mystical distress call to Abu the monkey to save them from a T-Rex.

Like, I would have loved to be in the writers room for this.

So, I would love to see THE MASK get a new adaptation that is closer to the source material, with all the gore and horror elements. #comicsky

I have the place to myself this weekend. I should be excited to indulge in things I can’t do when the husbeast is around, but I can’t think of anything.

Read comic books all day? Blast scary movies? Make weird noises throughout the condo? Eat an entire large pizza?

I do all that when he’s here.

Oh lord, did they really? Teaching an entire generation they are entitled to a luxury like travel no matter what, even at the expense of disrespecting another country, is very American.

Some of you have never seen NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, and it shows.

No, I will not elaborate.
