It’s too depressing to think about all of the things that would benefit humanity were it not for wealth hoarders.

To be clear, I love this for Ireland and Irish artists. I wish every artist could reap the benefits of living in a country that truly values art.

Frankly, I think yours was a great response and I plan to use it in future confusing interactions!

So once again I have said to someone, β€œI’m confused by this exchange. Here’s a recap of how I experienced it. What did I misunderstand?”

And they objected, β€œhow dare you project all that on to me”, without explaining anything of what they thought or meant.

What the heck do neurotypicals want?!?

I’ve been rewatching all of the original Tales from the Crypt series while working on art. Today’s entertainment needs way more puppets.

Look I try not to doomsay or spread panic but this shit is truly and deeply Very Bad for every single trans person in America and unless everyone makes it their mission in life over the next few days to make sure that their reps know that shutting down the government is the correct option here.

Please call your representatives and make it clear to them that saving health care or keeping the federal gov't open at the cost of throwing trans people under the bus is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream itβ€”be it!!

That #FlashMonster 2025 deadline will creep up on you!

Soft deadline hits Oct 15th. Issue drops on Halloween. You can go as literal or figurative with your monster as you want. Literary or pulpy. Art house or grindhouse.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."
