Boris Johnson says he is ‘spectrum-y’. As an autistic man, I’m disgusted Johnson is just the latest male member of the elite to try to use autism as an excuse for his actions

I wrote about Boris Johnson, Elon Musk and how plenty of upper-class men use autism as an excuse for their bad behavior (when it is not).

The eyes on all those clouds and hills and things in the mushroom kingdom are an invasive and completely ineffective surveillance system considering it's overrun with koopas

Can't believe the number of houses still decorated for Trump Christmas so late in the season

An overturned stick is held upright in an autumn forest and covered in mature Splitgill mushrooms, one stacked above the next, each of their gills radiating above the next

He dresses like Freddy and makes people call him Fred in a workplace surrounded by teens. How is he not the primary suspect here

In Scream everyone knows who Freddy Krueger is, so that janitor Henry Winkler talks to is making some interesting choices

At the nondescript side entrance of a downtown shoe store, all you have to do is say the passphrase and you can get your own copy of HISTORY COMICS: THE PROHIBITION ERA - written by me and with art by @hotelfred.bksky.social! Or you can buy a copy at your local bookstore! #historycomics #prohibition
