1000% agreed.

I hate the Salvation Army like the Iron Sheik hated Hulk Hogan.

It's been "Fuck the Salvation Army!"

It's still "Fuck the Salvation Army!"

It'll always be "Fuck the Salvation Army!"

There are better ways to help people in need in your community than to give money to bigots.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Good Old-Fashioned Korean Spirit by Kim Hyun Soon & @ryanestrada.com, with colors by @amandalafrenais.com, is out now.

And since I got my copy from @possumpunks.com, I got dope original art from the book. This piece is page 68, panel 2.

This is such an awesome way to support indie sellers!

I'm surprised Menard's doesn't sell that as the "Midwest Protein Shake Kit."

I've been waiting for this one! Got my copy of "Hello Sunshine" by @keezyyoung.bsky.social today from my local purveyor of all things awesome and freaky, @possumpunks.com.

*The sticker isn't attached to the book btw, I just wanted to add it in the pic and had limited space.

I didn't watch Iron Chef America (for some unknown reason), so I was completely unaware of his connection to it until now!

I always think of Mani from "Brotherhood of the Wolf" when I see him, especially when he was kicking ass as Kong Pak on Season 3 of "Warrior"

Weather ended up being immaculate!

I didn't sell a gorram thing, but I made a young human's day by giving them a painted vinyl record they kept coming back to check out.

Also, my table neighbors on each side were great humans (and not just because they laughed at my jokes), so overall

It may be rainy, but I'm still going to be at the City Square Street Fair in Warren, MI from 5-8pm today.

It's the last one for the year, so I'll be bringing a few spooky(ish) pieces, including this one, for anyone looking for Halloween art.

A tombstone-shaped canvas with an acrylic pour painting on it. Then a design featuring several esoteric elements surrounding a hooded fox head has been laser-engraved into the painting.

I got so many people to take a chance on this during my time at Blockbuster ('06-'10) by saying, "Imagine The Neverending Story, but about Japanese folklore and with the insanity turned up to 11."

My store's lone copy was always rented out.

Call me McCoy, the way I'm ready to fight Hatfield for this abomination.

In brazen defiance of all laws of man and nature, the Hatfield meat company has created this abomination....Pumpkin Spice Bacon. Truly this a sign that we are living through the final days of humanity.

Taking this piece to the Warren City Square Street Fair tonight.

We'll be out there from 5-8pm at Warren City Hall in Warren, MI.

A lazy susan with a blue/black/silver colored acrylic pour on it. Laser-engraved into it is a design of a yin-yang symbol with a bonsai tree as the solid side, an eye inside a swirl for one of the dots, and a fox with a swirled tail as the other dot.

I'm guessing most of that was budgeted for finding the "good cops" I keep hearing are out there.....somewhere.

fwiw, you have a good asshat detector, so if you think focusing their hustle constructively would be beneficial, then it's worth a shot.

That said, other than flyers or organizing stock (low shelves only lol), I'm not sure what else they could do, but they (or their parents) might have some ideas.

Getting things together for next Wed when I'll be back out at the Warren City Square Street Fair from 5-8pm.

This is one of the pieces I'll have for sale, along with my paintings and laser engravings.

And if I can get the method sorted out in time, I'll have something entirely new (for me anyway).

I just got an email yesterday that these were starting to ship, so I wasn't expecting to see this in the mail today!

Always excited for a new @richardkadrey.bsky.social book, but this one is especially exciting since it's a new edition of an old release that I missed the first time around.

My copy of Kamikaze L'amour by Richard Kadrey.
