Extremely small artist focused on linocuts and enamel pins. In my spare time I run a shop named for the headgear of a certain medieval warlord. 🧛👒 Vladhat.com

Here's what you might expect from this account. Mainly linocuts and enamel pins. #art #horror #crafts

Three linocuts- bride of Frankenstein, wicked Witch, and Countess Dracula

Correct. And if you want even more definitive proof, Herzog waited until the the final second on the copyright clock ran out to do his 1979 Nosferatu remake in which Orlok's named Dracula.

Whichever delusional idiot ends up being the bag-holder for this regime once all this is over is gonna be absolutely blindsided.

Becoming grievously offended is also pretty functionally useless in the real world unless you have an action plan.

Shades of gray are simply not allowed to exist on social media, even though denying them is massively self-defeating in the real world.

Because we're nearly ten years into the Trump era, there's a whole generation right now that largely has zero concept that when the basic machine of government is functioning properly you never hear about it.

Wishing you and yours a Happy #Caturday from Edie, who it turns out matches my new duvet cover.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

VIVE LA
RIBBITSTANCE

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

I've been genuinely confused by accounts like this throwing a fit that healthcare apparently isn't an important issue and shouldn't be the focus? I dunno, bruh, I think it might actually be a pretty big one for a lot of people...

People have always been like this. Just now they have unprecedented ability to broadcast their Inside Thoughts and find validation thanks to The Internet.

For decades we're gonna be able to tell which party is in office based on which monuments are either being torn down or rebuilt.

The height difference between Thune and Johnson is never not funny.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Johnson's come to realize there are multiple Glonzos seated amongst his ranks and they've been steadily chewing through their harnesses.

I'll spare you an essay, but IMO there's only one truly unwatchable Hellraiser. The others you usually get at least one good set piece, familiar young faces, or an honest attempt at a story and reasonably consistent rules. Corn it's like "what if a haunted apartment building but near corn?"

Em Kait @vladhat.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks. I thought doing Hellraiser would have better prepared me for the gauntlet but Corn got brutal fast.

Em Kait @vladhat.bsky.social · 3d

I white-knuckled through every Children of the Corn movie and by the third one through criteria is literally "do children appear?" and "is there occasionally ambient corn?"

It came to light after the primary that Brad Lander had a whole awesome plan to overhaul the public pools that was never shared because every forum was totally dominated by people who don't live here yelling at Zohran about Israel.

(If Zohran wins Brad's said he'll share the pool plan.)

I've been wondering if he's using some kind of integrated hub to post. The repeated "thank you for your attention to this matter" seems like an auto-loaded email signature.

We are so back. We are SO back. 🐀🇫🇷👑 Working on the second panel of the Reign rat triptych.

Partially carved linocut block dyed red with a Pfiel tool and a hand visible with aqua blue nails. Block is lined out with images of rats doing costume drama stuff in a cutaway dollhouse style castle. Carved rat is hanging by his tail sipping tea while peeping on another rat reading a Handmaiden's spicy private journal.

Foolish to assume life's about being right when it's actually about winning the argument.
