Ethan celebrating Halloween with Lilibeth, as a human, and later on with Baptiste, as a vampire--all in costumes my readers voted for in 2020!

Ethan celebrating Halloween with his wife, Lilibeth, back when he was still human. Lilibeth is dressed as a black cat, while Ethan is a witch. He uses a broom to keep her pressed against him, their gazes locked. Their costumes won't be staying on for long.

Baptiste has dressed up as a devil for Halloween, complete with horns and a pristine red suit. Ethan, now a vampire like Baptiste, is a bedraggled angel, the broken halo on his head barely holding on with duct tape. Muffling Ethan in the middle of an F-bomb, Baptiste says, "Stay in character!"

#Facebook has become so rampant with fake stories, (not even fake news, but stories in general) so I decide to post an article on how to protect yourself against fake stories on FB. What happens? Facebook remove my post because it goes against their guidelines. AND they restrict my account 😵‍💫 WTH

Just wild sown 200 hundred acorns

Picked up in local paths where there was no chance of a future, & placed in areas where they have every chance

Within every acorn there is a potential forest

Thank Christ for my dog Jubbs. He's been my rock through a divorce, a lay off, the pandemic, rehab, the 1st and now the 2nd term of the fascist pied piping prick. Whatever sanity I still have I owe so much to him. He'll be 17 in February.

In Chinese #folklore, a cat or dog that enters your home uninvited and is kept, ushers in fortune. A fat cat? Even better.

《異林》：寧波胡宏，精卜筮術。有一人家暴富，心疑之，宏為設卦曰：「家有狸奴走入室，筮其祥也。」曰：「然。」曰：「狸奴形必大，可稱之，得幾斤？」曰：「七斤許。」曰：「富及七載，狸奴當去。」及期，狸果去，家貧如初。

I don’t know where this is from. I know that it’s a tile made with a medieval illustration. #Caturday

Medieval illustration of a cat king holding a sceptre and wearing a crown, with three other cats bowing before it on grassy landscape.
