Person dressed as Krampus for the Munich Krampuslauf parade. The character is wearing furs and bells and an elaborately carved wooden mask with enormous horns, pointy ears, fangs, and a long beard.

Person dressed as Krampus for the Munich Krampuslauf parade. The figure is covered in fur from head to toe, kind of like an exceptionally menacing Ewok, and he has four large horns. The four horns and fur may mean the character is one of the Perchten. He's also wearing a large bell protruding from his lower belly, which may or may not be meant to be phallic.

Person dressed as a witch--most likely Frau Perchta--for the Munich Krampuslauf parade. The character is wearing a skirt and sweater and is carrying a staff. The head consists of an enormous wooden mask with one eye missing and a crooked nose that looks like a tree branch.

Closeup of an absolutely terrifying and elaborately carved wooden Krampus mask. The figure has two horns, one of which is pierced by a chain that leads down to another piercing in its forehead. It has stringy brown hair and bloodshot green eyes with huge eyebrows. Most prominent is the mouth, which has long pointy teeth and a tongue sticking out.

For #Krampusnacht, here are photos from last year's Krampuslauf ( #Krampus parade), from my sister, who lives in Munich. Masks are traditionally hand-carved, terrifying works of art. Characters wear large bells. The extra furry one may be one of the Perchten, and the witch may be Frau Perchta.

#BMovieManiacs Event: We have a big surprise! Tonight's movie is... oh yeah. You already know. Clint Walker is so big, his month takes more than a month to watch. Besides, the meteor was running late this time. At any rate, see you tonight at 8 Pacific/11 Eastern!

Shabbat Shalom. I have a neat story!

When I was growing up, there was something on the bedroom door that I could see from my bed.

I couldn't reach it and it was hard to see from underneath if I was up close but if I pointed it out to my parents, they didn't see anything on the door at all.

Torontonians (or others!): do you know of any folks that have created or are creating something around the history of hip hop in Toronto? (asking for a student who has done an excellent project on this, but I wanted to see if there were others they could connect with/refer to :))

i am going to be equally honest, the USPS accounts for less than a single percentage point of federal spending despite being one of the most complex and sophisticated logistical agencies in the world, this is a crank hobby horse

I really wouldn't have imagined that it would be Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros that I thought about all the time.

Did this really happen to me? Weekly Directed By Women Viewing Guide

In this week’s guide: the latest from Chloé Zhao, the singularly queer directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, a genre-defying queer French film starring Jodie Foster, Slovenia’s entry for this year’s Oscars (also queer), three rep series playing in NYC, and a doc about life in the Occupied West Bank.

If you see this, post a comics cover you love. (I honestly could post 99% of the covers for this series--they're a major reason why I collect it)
