Halloween-celebrating the sacred days year round. We'll leave the light on for you.

Halloween tableau. Celtic style stone cross with a tarantula, a friendly, fuzzy vulture, a mini bubbling cauldron and a spooky lit Jack O Lantern.

Glow in the dark is my favorite color! Part of my 31 shirts of Halloween.
Hard to keep the spirits high when reality insists on persisting in the month of October.

Jack's face glowing green surrounded by pumpkins and snakes and voodoo dolls, oh my.

I will miss your intros. They were a touchstone in these crazy times. Hope you and the cats stay connected here on Bluesky. I said no thanks to Meta's fascist bs, so no Instagram for me.

I did a store drive up order today to pick up a 5ft poseable skeleton. That's it, just the essentials.

I always booked an aisle seat.

You better not make me cry.

This seems more accurate than my weather app.

So what's the timeline on "kicking them out"? And don't say the 2026 elections. Enforcement of laws and prosecution is already past due, you know like years over due.

I do 31 shirts of Halloween every year. I used to post them everyday. I gave up on that, but here's a ghost for your ghost. (This must blow your mind since you said you only have like 3 shirts, right? LOL).

A Halloween T everyday. An orange and gray tableu on black, including a pentagram dream catcher, ghosties, candles, bats, skulls and a smiling jack o' lantern.

I switched to US Mobile, you get the choice of all 3 networks on their platform.

Same. People are shockingly naive about the lack of emigration options for the average US citizen. Very short list of job skills, but mostly you need to be able to buy your way in.

How practical!

So graphic. And asymmetry that works.

The relevance of this piece is stunning. It's not 'lessons from our past', or 'here's a similar story'; it's the same story, as in nothing has changed in all these years. Which is a depressing realization really, but Thompson is so witty and charming it's still a pleasurable read.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Lawrenceville. 46th Street. Caller says that his neighbors have a high powered magnet and are using it and other dark arts to move his furniture. Happy Halloween season.
