Why wear an ugly sweater to a Christmas Party when you can wear this epic X-Mas/X-Men mash up shirt instead? I liked the illustration I did for last year's Christmas card enough that I decided to throw it on a shirt this year. You can buy it here:

Being a compulsive collector who hates clutter is my very personal form of self-loathing.

Remember when Trump and Team MAGA were all "Build the Wall!" Like the wall was the *only* solution to our immigration issues and we totally and absolutely needed to invest a kabillion dollars in building a wall, but it wasn't going to be a problem because Mexico would pay for the wall.
Good times.

I turned 50 yesterday. Dick Van Dyke turns 100 today. Which means that he was 50 when I was born, almost exactly twice my age now.
I've now lived 50% of my life in the 1900s and 50% in the 2000s. Meanwhile, Dick Van Dyke has lived 75% of his life in the 1900s and 25% in the 2000s.

It would be nice to live in a world where I could go online without having AI art forced on me, while also seeing uninsured artists have to set up GoFundMe pages to cover basic medical procedures.

The people that used to complain about kids getting participation trophies in their soccer leagues is now celebrating the President getting a made-up award by FIFA. The world is so very, very stupid.

If your kids ever complain about having to share something, feel free to point out to them that my brother and I had to share a Garbage Pail Kid picture.

The fact that our President posts reprehensible garbage like this and might be the most un-American person living in our nation should be the *only* story right now. Wake up for your sombalistic, Billionaire-welfare stupor corporate media and do your job for once in a decade.
This is gross. Vile.

Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please"

Seeing people reposting Trump's posts about how Dems should be executed for treason and also seeing all the people making jokes about them. I fully understand the urge, but sometimes I wonder if this is how things will end...

Looking at Avatar: The Last Airbender cards for the new Magic the Gathering set and appreciating how they convey story moments through single cards. BUT that got me fixated on the idea of how to spoil major movie plot twists through Magic cards. #MagicTheGathering
Um, *Spoiler Warnings,* I guess.

My grindy, black-green Magic deck from the Avatar the Last Airbender set pre-release last night at Meeples Games. Went 1-1-1 with it. I've only seen a couple of episodes of Avatar, so don't have the fondness a lot of people do, but the set itself is surprisingly fun.

Trying out some Posca paint pens for the first time. Spider Punk seemed like a suitable first subject. Chaotic enough to cover up my mess ups. This Spider kills Fascists.

BONUS Day 13: "Satanic Panic"
I only had 12 decks when I started this, but built a deck last week, for Halloween. This all Black Taborax, Hope's Demise deck is trying really hard to be what all Satanic, evil stuff that the Christian Conservatives *thought* Magic was. 1/5

Day 12: "Release the Kykar!"
I realized that I had built every 2-color deck except for White-Blue, so I decided I should correct that. I literally just looked at the Azorius legends in my collection and chose the prettiest card, which is how I picked Kykar, Zephyr Awakener. 1/5

Day 11: "When the going gets tough, the tough get big and dumb"
This Gilanra, Caller of the Wirewood and Alena, Kessig Trapper deck is basically an excuse to play a bunch of those big, dumb, stompy Gruul creatures that look so cool, but rarely have a chance to get played in Magic. 1/6

Day 10: "Wheel of Fire"
After building several typal decks in a row, I decided I wanted to build a mechanic-focused deck. Drawing cards is good, so what is the fastest way to draw cards? Wheeling them. Who cares if you can play them. Thus, my Arjun deck was born. 1/5

Day 9: "You Don't Even Know What the Dragon Sword Does!"
Another partner Commander deck, with Ardenn & Rograkh in an equipment-themed deck. The plan is to equip things to Rograkh and go to work. The deck's name is something friends of mine overheard shouted at a game store. 1/5 #CommanderADay #MTG
