A calm night in Kyiv.
The war forecast doesn’t predict any massive attack –
just drones,
those annoying flies
that cause so much damage.

I reviewed I AM FRANKELDA for @variety.com. The first stop-motion feature fully produced in Mexico features show-stopping musical numbers & incredibly ornate sets & characters in a story about creative empowerment. Guillermo del Toro has been a major supporter: variety.com/2025/film/re...

I do think we should start treating the Gender Critical [sic] crowd as the genitalia-obsessed weirdos they are. Eg, introduce them as 'This is Jeff. He's a bit obsessed with what people have between their legs. I've asked him not to say anything about it tonight, but if he does, let me know and I'll

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

A digital ink drawing of a smiling raven sitting a top a neglected gravestone that reads, "Piss on their grave." On the grave is an hourglass with wings, with a wet pee stain running down the surface of the stone.

it's okay if you can't believe people when they say "it gets better"

but "gets better" comes in many forms. you have to acknowledge the wins as they happen - the way out of a spiral is to start working your way backwards

A photo of a detail from one case at the A Larger Reality exhibition: Ursula's tote bag, a brown bag that reads "I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy." It's covered in buttons. A label in the foreground reads "1965-2018: Protesting and activism. Le Guin advocated for social change throughout her life, protesting events ranging from the Vietnam war to the removal of a nearby chestnut tree."

A photo of a newspaper advertisement, showing a zoomed in photo of a hand holding a Pilot brand fountain pen. "Make AI Jealous" is written in Japanese next to the hand, with "Write what AI can't touch" in English underneath.

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it

Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

People come to Phantomarine by many paths.

Some by giant flirtatious dead dragons.
Some by Reeses Puffs.
Some by "She wants to bang the fish god."

The rest come by Anathema.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Thank you everyone for enjoying the short, but sweet Monster Mashtober run this year. Life got in the way, and I had to return to current work and prepping for an upcoming return to part time work. I hope I can draw more monsters next year
