these candles smell like apple and black cherry, the green ooze is there to disgust your enemies and thwart you from trying to bite into it because of how delicious it smells

A photo of three of my “bad apple” pillar candles. one’s on a white dish being held up by a cute ghost, the other two are in front - one of which is lit. They are red wax spheres, with a green ooze like wax on them. in the background is a real apple

Michigan J. Frog is chaotic evil to me after I found out that WB made the people answering the phones pick up each call with "Dub dub dub dub dubya bee" in the 90s

Tonight, I was scrolling through the PBS app and by coincidence happened upon the American Masters #documentary “Calder’s Moving Sculptures.” Directed by Roger Sherman, the 1998 doc features Arthur Miller, Inge Morath, I.M. Pei, Calder’s wife and adult children, and more. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

There's a joke in my new comic for me and like 3 other people

A pink Frogby (a little guy with big eyes, shaped like a potato with noodle arms) next to a box that's labeled " a box of spiders" and the word spiders is in the same font as the 90s sci fi TV show Sliders

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt. Scoop from our student newspaper, who’ve been doing vital reporting www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

This is where I learned what one was as a kid

Maybe they never readThe Baby-Sitters Club Super Mystery #1 Baby-sitter's Haunted House by Ann M. Martin

The BSC will protect the kids... but who will protect the BSC? Cover art is members of the BSC Mary Anne, Kristy, Claudia and Dawn with two small children, looking frightened, in the background is a massive old house on a hill. There's also a star on the cover that says "Coming soon, the BSC movie!"

There are so many places that don't realize they've just got these PDFs hanging out there, usually uploaded to a Wordpress website, but not linked anywhere, but still searchable, you just have to know what to search for...

you get decks, contracts, RFPs, so many things

Update: Saturday is Sold OUT. We recommend pre-booking for Sunday and Monday.

Sharks opens Saturday, October 11! 🦈

Though many associate sharks with the terrifying monster from the movie Jaws, they are far more fascinating and complex than their depiction in popular culture.

As I'm moving from hoping to meet my funding goal into actually producing my 'Zine Storage Boxes I have been revising the design. This one is "A Love Letter to Self-Publishing", very similar to what I mocked up initially, but less messy and busy, and I think nicer www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

A mockup of the Love Letter to Self-Publishing 'Zine Storage Box. Mostly pale yellows, pinks and purples, the design mimics the famous Marvel Comics 25th Anniversary edition covers, except is filled with all your favorite characters from the world of self-published and indie comics. Yes, SMILE was originally a minicomic.

A better view of the 25th Anniversary design. Text on the graphic states, "A 'Zine is something homemade, personal, not created with mass-appeal in mind. maybe your 'zine only means something to a small group of people, but to those people it means so much"
