I made this pinafore out of fabric that absolutely did not sell well- “too spooky”. I sort of want to add a patch pocket out of the strap fabric, but then again, maybe random and unbalanced is the way to go!

Black and white fabric featuring girls with hair covering their faces, and a grey-purple top band & shoulders.

Neighbors already have the fog machine going and everything.

A house with lots of lights and over the top Halloween decorations is shrouded in fog.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Personally I would avoid anything with a tail, like a T-Rex, simply because the volume of people might lead to getting it stepped on, causing you & others yo stumble.

Safety First, people!!

Spirit Halloween has a small selection of those blow-up costumes. Idk if they’ve got any frogs left, but I did see some unicorns…

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

But- there will always be books and worlds we can escape into.

(I bought The Staircase but had to put it down. I wasn’t ready for the kind of escape.)

So I have been hearing my entire life that it is vitally important for private citizens to own guns to prevent government overreach and tyranny. Turns out what we actually needed was inflatable frog costumes.

It’s SO GOOD.

My job is cutting fabric and having opinions!!

Also my boss texted me pictures of the lines of fabric for next Fall & Christmas, and then told me I’d need to sell my butt off (because I loved almost everything), which tells me that 1.she values my opinion and 2.wants to keep me!

As a parent of a human child, I have sent her out for MULTIPLE years and have never gotten drugs in her trick-or-treat bag. Fucking BULLSHIT if you ask me.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 2d

You can tell it’s October when ppl start spreading drug sadism myths about expensive drugs given for free to school-age children, since children usually have the means to purchase more drugs…

Anyways, we actually know pretty definitively that “fentanyl-laced marijuana” isn’t a thing & never will be

(Would brownies with Mary-fentanyl baked in even get functioning drugs in the system if consumed? Or would they just be shitty, bitter, pot brownies?)

Hm. With a name like “Nip”, I’m skeptical.

(Also I’d like more information about the dress worn by the person doing the scritches. For…research?)
