I finally got a chance to sit down and read "Angelica and the Bear Prince" by @trungles.com and now I need everyone to read this! It's such a fantastic and sweet romance, and it made me almost cry at work.

Of course I'd already added this to my subs, but now I'm even MORE excited about the DC holiday anthology 🤩

Not a full book--"I'll Be Home For Hanukkah" is a short in this years's DC Holiday special, I SAW MA HUNKEL KISSING SANTA CLAUS. But @hannahtempler.com and @lgions.bsky.social have made it *beautiful,* so you will want to snatch that up.

Final order cut off is 10/27, so put your preorders in *now.*

Happy Horror Month to goth Daddy, bisexual icon Vincent Price.

A sepia toned black and white picture of Vincent Price as a young man. He's a white brunette man with a thin mustache and a tall build.

It isn't kind to make fun of someone's appearance...but Miller looks like the Blue Fairy turned Squidward into a real boy.

I think we have to withhold prayers until God starts doing what we want. He’s a fiend for prayers and I think he’s just used to getting them. Cut off the supply and draw him out

If you actually watch Gavin Newsom's podcast I think you will lose any faith you have misplaced in him. I'm sorry! He capitulates repeatedly to the conservative provocateur B-team. I don't think he can do combative discourse well enough in person and I suspect he does not write his own tweets

To add to the collection of "Matt Fraction doing stuff" pictures on here, I present to you Fraction bonding with my son, George, who would have happily left me forever to follow Matt home. ⭐

A crouching Matt Fraction gently petting George, a medium size black and white shepherd mix. They are just inside the front door of Books With Pictures Eugene, and Matt is wearing a furry blue Grover baseball hat.

Started reading Moby Dick on the recommendation of a friend, and I was NOT PREPARED for both a) how funny the first few chapters are, and b) how down bad Ishmael is for Queequeg. Like, nobody tell me if they kiss.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

Look, I'm a thirsty b 🐬🌈🍑👻

Five drink containers (a blue insulated cup with stickers, a can of yerba, a to-go coffee, a bottle of kombucha and a mug of pens) sit on a galaxy-print desk mat in front of a computer monitor displaying a discord invite screen.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.”

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.”

A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use.

On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.

A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm.

On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents.

A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who could strangle you with a cordless phone if he wanted to, is pictured. Chief O'Brien, who can kill 2 stones with 1 bird, is facing the camera and winking. O'Brien, who can dribble a bowling ball, is on DS9 station and wearing his classic gold uniform, and has the energy of a man who is walking away from an explosion without looking backwards at it. Closed caption reads, "He was more than a hero. He was a union man."

One of my fave customers bought the set for his excellent kid, so they were gifted the Senshi. I might need to make another one, just for us.

All of my work friends just come to the shop to see my dog.

George, a black and white mutt, is laying on a green rug and looking at the camera. He recently had a haircut and looks very cute. There are numerous chair legs (and 2 people legs) around him.

A standee drawing of the character Senshi, pictured from the waist up with bare arms, large beard and horned helmet. He has tears in his eyes and the speech bubble above him reads (in Japanese),"it is complete/done"
