(Beartato and Reginald are reading books on Sailors' Wisdom) REGINALD: "Red sky at night, sailors delight." BEARTATO: "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." REGINALD: "Red sky at dawn, a storm's coming on." BEARTATO: "Red sky at noon, a storm's coming soon." REGINALD: "Red sky at dusk? That counts as night. Refer to previous wisdom, all right?" REGINALD: "Red sky tomorrow fills sailors with sorrow." BEARTATO: "Red sky today? That's prob'ly okay." REGINALD: "Red sky on the ground: you're upside-down." BEARTATO: "Reader beware, you're in for a scare." Oops, wrong book. REGINALD (tossing book away): I'm getting nothing. BEARTATO: Same. (They peed outside. Turns out they were on a boat! The sky is swirling purples and greens with some yellow orange spirals). REGINALD: Curse you, sailors

New Lego Lesbian Date Night project just dropped.

the internet wasn't a complete failure

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

(Reginald is floating in the air following a scent trail, like Toucan Sam) BEARTATO: Whoa! What are you doing? REGINALD: Barbecue law states that if I follow a scent to its grill, the griller has to give me a hot dog. C'mon! (Reginald continues floating. Beartato follows along) REGINALD: Oh boy oh boy! (They reach the source of the scent. Harrison is on fire.) REGINALD (disappointed): Awww man!

Barbecue Law

I gotta say, @dessadarling.bsky.social does a pretty good Gwen Stefani impression

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for.
Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

I’m about halfway to what I need to get paid for this week, and I got kind of a nasty landlord text this morning. If there’s anything you can do to help, it would mean the absolute world to me and my family.

The game cafe we take our kid to for d&d once a week is vegetarian and vegan. We went there before our weekend trip and I got seitan chicken nuggets. They were good

Photo of a siren with light skin and long, tightly curled purple hair rising out of shallow water and staring threateningly at the viewer. The scene is dark, illuminated by one deep red light on the left.

Ok, I know it's not the best to post late at night but I wanted to get this #mermonday post in under the wire. I'm trying to get better at posting regularly! Getting scarier with this shallow studio shot by Waterbear Photography.

I dislike "big tent." I like "solidarity." Solidarity holds on even when it's unpopular, which is dangerous, but it doesn't let people go. I distrust those willing to give up this group to get that group while saying "we need all groups." We DO need all groups; so hold tightest to marginal groups.

Interview from the Titan submarine investigation. The witness name is blacked out. The first line is "Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Great moments in redaction history.

If you like women, then have I got a gender for you:

Women!

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Underwater photograph of a fairy in a red, orange, and black ballgown with glowing red wings. She has light skin and a serene expression. Her body is angled to the right with the right arm and leg extended behind her. Locks of dark grey curls float in front of the glowing wings. The photo is rotated so that the surface reflection is on the right, giving an impression of someone flying into a mirror or magic portal.

A darker tone for #FairyFriday as we move into the second half of October. This shot was from late in my studio session with @waterbearphotography. It's always a privilege to shoot in this dress! This part of the shoot was extremely challenging but I think it was worth it!

@assumptionprime.bsky.social Mira's face in today's comic is so great!

as always it's very telling who gets to be a kid just making mistakes (25-35 year old Republican operatives praising Hitler) and who is a full fledged adult who must face the lifelong consequences of their decisions (Black teenagers, college students protesting genocide)

A comment reading “bro has been all the letters of lgbt”

This has been my favorite kind of comment over on Instagram lately lolololol

Hey folks - we’re still trying to get our rent paid up, and our landlord is threatening to give us a 3-day notice if we don’t make a payment immediately.

If there’s anything you can do to help, we could really use it.

We all learned a few key numbers in case of emergency. For example, in case of fire, dial 0118 999 881 119 725 3.

the funniest thing about this is that those of us who grew up in the divide all have a bunch of pre-cell phone numbers memorized and almost none afterwards

I know the home phone numbers of two of my childhood best friends from thirty years ago and none of the cell numbers of my college friends

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

On the surface, Dracula is a novel about a Slavic sex machine who travels to England to defile the country's white women. In subtext, it's about how much Bram Stoker wants to kiss Walt Whitman on the mouth.

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

Happy World Octopus Day!!

This year I'm excited to share the first (but not last!) of the photos from my magical sessions with Waterbear Phtography, in my one of a kind tail by Jurassic Merman Productions, shot at Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park.
