Neither kid will cop to them either so the plot thickens…

I just found 2 human teeth in a drawer in my house. Moms are metal.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

I’m helping raise money for the Ashland, MA public library. Right now you can bid to win an autographed copy of The Bullet Swallower AND a beautiful scarf knitted by moi.

Yea verily

My friend just told me about a book she loved where a woman has sex with a dragon who has 2 dicks. It’s making me rethink my entire approach to fiction.

There’s a meme going around TikTok about how Millennial moms listen to gangster rap while doing the least gangster things and all I can say is, playing Geto Boys while I’m planting tulip bulbs makes the work more fun 🤷‍♀️

Javier Bardem as the character Anton Chigurh in the movie No Country For Old Men. He’s wearing a jean jacket, white socks, and is carrying an oxygen tank.

I’m also supposed to go to a “dress as your favorite villain” party and I wanted to go as Anton Chigurh. Do you think I can make Chigurh sexy??

I was mostly kidding but of course it fucking exists 😂

Medieval plague doctor wearing long black cloak and a mask with a long bird beak

Have entered my DGAF 40s and am thinking of finally wearing a “sexy” costume for Halloween. What do we think about sexy plague doctor?

Yeah Pinterest is probably a lot of it. I get not wanting to dress out of the box - not everyone’s jam. But your home is your own private space. Don’t you want to make it unique to you?

I see this so much with home decor. Esp the tyranny of the grey and white chevron tiles. I can’t understand how so many people are ok with their house looking like everyone else’s.

It’s that screenshot of Ralphie from The Simpsons sitting on a bus. The subtitle says: “(chuckles) I’m in danger” and that’s the exact vibe of 2025 except the danger is increasingly fucking serious.

A flyer for a talk I’m doing with Paul Tremblay.

Come hang out with me and @paultremblay.bsky.social @ 5:30 at the Centerville Public Library :)

And the incessant othering. Our local PD posted on FB to remind drivers to stop for school buses letting out kids and someone in the comments blamed illegal immigrants.

We live in a tiny town in suburban Mass w no industry and no through-streets. Pretty sure this is homegrown assholes. 🤦‍♀️
