Oh my gosh this is beautiful!

A young werewolf pup is excited to see a gum ball machine full of skulls

a cat is tormented by the ghosts of dancing mice

a haunted house with ghosts skeletons pumpkins and other monsters

a devil holding marionettes of a person being tormented by an imp

the first four days of retro supply’s fright-fall

on today's episode of "Claire's beloved friend got fired from his church job for posting about Gaza and racial justice," he just posted on Insta about how the (white) pastor said to him straight out "if I'd known I was hiring an activist, I wouldn't have hired you"

I feel like a spartacus moment is the only thing that might stand a chance against the encroachment onto free speech is such a brazen way
like... I guess we all have to openly be like, fuck charlie kirk, rest in piss, you racist sack of shit, you brought this on yourself. Am I allowed to say this?

a photo of a lino block print. A pumpkin headed ghost floats in air as small squash and gourds dance beneath it. a few leaves swirl around the ghost. everything is colored in muted oranges and browns.

I’ve gotten back into more traditional art and im working on my first lino print since college, it’s nice to have fun creating art again

Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world. Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed. Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job! Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.

If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.

Happy Labor Day!

Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...

Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

Palestinian families like Hammam's are being starved to death in Israel's genocidal famine & siege. Please help by sharing & donating if you've anything to spare:

a retro style illustration of a woman’s face looking surprised as a mountain of ice cream covers the top of her head. It’s decorated with little skulls, jack o lanterns and bats. ghosts have also been swirled in and are floating around as well. all with a skull cherry on top.

trying to extract the line work from a photo was interesting, but I had a lot more fun doing traditional lines and digital colors (plus all the textures)
