I was shoving things into kids’ bags as my block slowly became a no trick or treaters zone . They were in awe of me. Now I live on a second floor and get none. I wish I was in a high traffic area bc I loved it. Kids just having fun

This isn't how math works. Tiny once in a while treats do not add up to a house. So they want you to be miserable and have no treats AND no house.

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

I love you for doing this every year 🥰 I make pins, stickers and other small gifty things that range from nihilistic to naturegoof to crafty.

A handmade pottery mug that reads FINAL GIRL. The mug is made from speckled white clay and glazed blood red inside with blood red dripping down the outsides.

A white speckled clay mug that reads MENTALLY I AM HERE in black letters with a black image of a haunted house. The interior, handle, and rim are glazed glossy black.

A white speckled handmade pottery mug that reads PEOPLE DISPLEASER. It’s glazed hot pink on the inside, handle, and rim.

Eight royal blue handmade pottery mugs glazed black on the inside with small white stars carved on the outside. The mugs are resting on a wooden bat on top of a backyard fence.

I was reading before bed last night & I have caught a cold so also took some cold relief meds. So when I went to bed I basically dreamed that I was in the book. The book I’m reading is Sunrise on the Reaping - the newest installment of the Hunger Games. So not so fun

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!

If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

If people actually understood how willing our government is to go to war with its own people simply for demanding equal rights, I think a lot more of us would be ready for war.

I’ve had lost luggage but it wasn’t so bad. If I missed a flight I’d be stressed right the fuck out

This is an issue I've been dealing with professionally and I felt it might a little too "Inside Baseball" to talk about elsewhere but, ya know, when the 404 is covering the collapse of a major supplier of library materials? It's not just a professional issue anymore, it's fully public. 📚

If I, a Canadian, saw this as a kid when trick or treating it would be my favourite house. The lore I’d come up about the house & inhabitants with would be deliciously scary
