The Fighting Temeraire- J.M.W. Turner, National Gallery, London.
I was so excited to see it. The colors!
The Fighting Temeraire- J.M.W. Turner. The painting hangs on a blue-green wall in a gilt frame. It depicts a battleship being towed to its last berth to be broken up. At right is a sunset. The sky is rendered in glowing colors of blue, pink, gold, reflected in the water.

Thanks, Gabino!
Enter a world where ghosts walk in meatspace, portals exist, and interdimensional shenanigans abound!

A large blue portal, its edges crackling with white energy, opens in a field of stars. The books Tunerville and Confluence are being sucked into it. Tunerville screams, "Help!!" Confluence says, "Whee!" Both books are by A. Elizabeth West.

My sister showed me some really cool ballet slippers she drew (seriously, they were amazing) and it inspired me to get out my sketchpad and try to draw @realgdt.bsky.social 's The Creature. ❤️

LOL I can't draw hair very well and I gave up before I got to his coat 🤣
The Creature from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film. He has very deep-socketed eyes, stringy long hair, and a somewhat handsome yet terribly scarred face. He is looking past the viewer and frowning.

Painting of a medieval woman adjusting a medieval man's armor. The quote caption says, "I love the outfit, Susan, I'm just worried it makes me look middle aged."

A box of Kelloggs Stranger Things Demogorgon Crunch cereal with upside down marshmallows. The creature on the box looks like a flower with teeth.

PSA - Be the village this Halloween! Consider adding shelf-stable kid foods to your treat buckets. With SNAP benefits delayed, some families are struggling more than usual. Let's support our neighbors in small but meaningful ways. Include ramen cups, microwave mac and cheese, protein bar, snack pudding packs, chips or pretzels, mini muffins. Every little bit helps keep a child's belly full and shows that kindness can be just as sweet as candy.

The coffin-shaped box for Dark Shadows: The Complete Original Series DVD set is open and the inside of it looks like dark red upholstery. The picture on the back of all the DVD cases shows vampire Barnabas Collins reclining in his coffin.

@jeremycshipp.bsky.social THEY ARE SO CUTE I LOVE THEM 😭🥰
Cosmic ghost earrings hang cutely from French hooks poked through a colored card. Both are triangle shaped with grey faces. One has two eyes above a sad frown; the other is one-eyed and smiling. They are covered with tiny hand-embroidered stars.

In those years, people will say. we lost track of the meaning of we, of you we found ourselves reduced to I and the whole thing became silly, ironic, terrible; we were trying to live a personal life and yes, that was the only life we could bear witness to But the great dark birds of history screamed and plunged into our personal weather They were headed somewhere else but their beaks and pinions drove along the shore, through the rags of fog where we stood, saying I – Adrienne Rich In Those Years

What if ghosts could really come back? Ghost hunter Chris Taylor invents a device that makes it happen, but nothing about it goes the way he expected. 😂 TUNERVILLE

A Kindle e-reader sits on the sand between a hat and a pair of sunglasses, in front of a rocky landscape and blue water. The book cover on the screen shows a shadowy figure on a blue field of hexagonal lights and the title Tunerville in orange font. The book is by A. Elizabeth West.

Top pic: sharks according to media and pop culture. A great white with a scary toothy open mouth leaping up as though it's about to chew you to bits! Bottom pic: sharks in real life. A placid fish with its mouth closed and a caption that says "Imma do a swim, blub blub"

While eating my breakfast, I heard a barnyard noise that was very familiar from the days on my ex's farm.

I have been visited by the infamous Boston turkeys! 🤣🤣🤣
