Make Galt’s Cask of Amontillado.

A group of modern Namahage dressed in outfits of straw coats, red, blue, or yellow masks, all with horns.

Each winter in parts of Northern Japan, the demons descend: Namahage are oni dressed in winter coats of straw, bringing drums and looking for naughty or whiny children to terrorize. Centuries ago, they were more akin to kami. #FolkloreThursday

Illustration of Stekkjastaur by Brian Pilkington. He is wearing old timey clothes, has a red hat, and white hair and beard and is trying to mount an Icelandic sheep.

Tonight Stekkjastaur, the first of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to sneak into the sheep shed to drink milk from the ewes.

All the children put a shoe in the window for him to put a treat or a little gift in – if they have been good! The bad children get a potato.

The freckles!

Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, he’s mostly attracted to all these particular women because he can piggyback on their very different, but all very strong, personalities. Because he himself has none.

One of the realest parts of the show I think

I can't believe the mayor of New York City lives in my twenty-something stoner friend's house in Phoenix.

An old rich white lady angrily saying "Amelia Bedilia, the sun will fade the furniture. I asked you to draw the drapes," said Mrs Rogers. Then a picture of wide open fancy drapes and Amelia Bedilia, that rascally redheaded maid servant, showing the lady a beautiful sketch. "I did! I did! See?" Said Amelia Bedilia. She held up her picture.

We stan our weaponized autistic class warrior queen

Amelia Bedilia was RIGHT rich folks DO want things done strangely

This is the hottest thing he’s ever done, in a career of hot things

Though I guess it could just start robocalling pharmacies to see if anyone will give it oxy

There’s no LMM unhinged enough to accurately mimic Mema

Get in loser, we’re going to the ossuary

Put it on my crest

are we still on about em dashes and ai. imo human writers should just use the em dashes even harder. we should be out here pummeling out those em dashes like we're emily dickinson

Color photograph. A man in a red rain slicker standing in front of a seedy looking fairground amusement. "GHOST" in big red letters on the side, and a poster of a "HAUNTED GRAVEYARD." there is a big skull on the end of this thing, which looks to be about the size of a semi trailer. I presume it's mobile. I thought a "ghost train" in the UK was a "dark ride" – customers are carried along past jump scares. As far as I can see, this looks too small for that.

I was thinking about that with Duffy’s “why does no one dress up to fly anymore” schtick, which ensured that I will only ever fly in sweats for the rest of my life. Because of spite.

Anyway today I had to do more shadow work

Have you ever been on the edge of spinning out but then (as a last resort) just asked for what you needed? And then got it? What you needed? Because you finally just asked?

(1/5)'. christinanguyenmpls 11h We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

*shouts* EVEN AS A JOKE

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

Happy Rohatsu, gang. I hope you are finding the stillness.

ColinDoesScience - Twitch I'm only doing this because they messed up science real bad forever

So, it's Monday, and there's no way to say this that doesn't sound stupid, so I'm just going to come out and say it: I've decided to Twitch stream the entire writing of an NIH R01 proposal, and you can follow along at twitch.tv/ColinDoesScience
