Top: a red panda hesitates to carve a jack o lantern. Hedgehog asks “are you going to carve that pumpkin?” Red panda replies “I dunno. I feel kinda bad stabbing it in the face.” Bottom: red panda and pumpkin cuddle under a blanket with hot cocoa and a spooky book. Panda has drawn a happy face onto the pumpkin with a sharpie.

And, baby, that's showfish business for you ✨

That's right, this (not so Swift) star might be dressed for a new era, but has been hard at work for years helping us generate millions for restoring aquatic lands all over Washington. dnr.wa.gov/aquatics/she...

A stunning album cover with the words "The Life of a Showfish" in orange glittery letters. The album also features a geoduck, semi-submerged in water wearing a bedazzled top and looking their best in Washington's waters.

On the back cover, the geoduck is wearing a new bedazzled top, and a Vegas-showgirl styled headdress, with large orange feathers imitating their natural siphon process. The list of songs is 1. The Fate of Ceviche, 2. Elizabeth Taylor, 3. Pearl, 4. Father Figure, 5. Largest Mollusk, 6. Ruin The Conference Bannquet Table, 7. Actually Romantic, 8. WA Wi$h Li$t, 9. Wood, 10. CENSORED!, 11. Siphon, 12. The Life of a Showfish (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter Ant).

What you think your brain is supposed to do

A person is having a conversation with their brain floating in space. The person says “hello friend your job is to keep me happy“ the brain replies “nah. my job is to keep you safe from real and imagined threats“ in the final panel. The person is in bed saying to themselves “I’m home it’s bedtime. I am totally safe”. The brain replies “OK, but what if… “

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

a picture from an old Clifford book. Clifford is much smaller than usual, implying he is baby. he is holding a brown paper bag in his mouth and is covered in a sheet with eye holes. it is obvious he is trick or treating. his tail has action lines around it, indicating he is rather excited for both the tricks and the treats
