Day 11: COZY 🛋️

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025

SUPERBATOBER 11: COZY -- Ah! A nice and lazy, rainy weekend. Good for hanging out on a couch, a purring cat to your right, a cup of tea to your left, and a good book resting in your blanket wrapped lap. That's how Batgirl is spending it! I wonder if Supergirl, half on the floor completely passed out, minds that her friend is taking up half the couch to do so. Judging by her snoring, probably not.

Farrell Destination: Bloodlines @jfsculpts.bsky.social · Apr 1

In the 70s before STAR TREK: TMP, director Philip Kaufman was developing STAR TREK: PLANET OF TITANS, a trippy, "adult" sci-fi film. He wanted Toshiro Mifune to play the Klingon antagonist, so I commissioned Klingon expert artist Palloma Barreto (www.crowlls.com) to conceptualize him in this role.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

This is Dave. He has a smile that could light up a room. Only smiling with his bottom teeth right now so he doesn't blind you. 13/10 very considerate #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: jeffreybergstedt)

a close-up photo of a white dog, named Dave, staring into the camera with his mouth slightly open. there reveals approximately five teeth shining brightly.

our final photo of Dave who is no longer looking into the camera, but is now happily leaning his head back with his eyes closed.

another close-up photo of Dave staring into the camera, but this time his tongue is covering his prized pearly whites.

HUD’s ability to enforce fair housing laws was further gutted by the administration’s actions yesterday.

This is on top of the agency’s firing of 70% of its fair housing attorneys since January.

This will allow discrimination by race, sex, and disabilities to become more common—and go unpunished.

HUD laid off so many fair housing investigators on Friday that it shuttered the regional offices that oversee discrimination cases in 9 states: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fair housing staffers who investigate claims of housing discrimination at field offices nationwide were among the hundreds of HUD staffers who received layoff notices.

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

This -- seeing the books that are being targeted most NOW really makes what is being done hit harder. It actually undercuts the real threat to show books that are famous and still selling fine.

A call to bookshops when setting up banned books displays. Feature alive authors who could be struggling due to this. Yes, Stephen King gets banned but he's doing ok financially. So many others are not.

I know exactly that claustrophobic, clammy/sweaty feeling. It's gross.

We are in the midst of the most perfect weather right now - around 10 C early mornings/overnight, highs around 22 (I did math for you at this hour because I love you).

Our a/c has been off since Thursday night, and it is sooo nice.
