On Easter Sunday two years ago, we came home to a gigantic rattlesnake. This Spring we were sitting on the porch and had a baby copperhead sitting right behind me. I learned that baby poisonous snakes don't know how to 'regulate' their venom when they bite...

I love 'Night Force'. Harkens back to 'Dark Shadows'. Art and story are great.

I had spent several days in Ohio right after my father's death, but had to return to Chicago and my sister had reassured me several times that the OH funeral was not as 'important' as the KS funeral.
But now for some reason my sister will now not speak to me.
I am so tired of this dysfunction.

I miss when it was at the old Ramada Inn, before it went to the convention. I remember meeting the creators of the Impact line where in this little spot off a hallway.
Had amazing conversations with creators before there were the days of long lines. Got amazing sketches.

They are creating generational trauma. They deployed tear gas recently near my final school I taught in before retiring. Kids were at recess. They threw a tear gas canister directly at a teacher who was getting her lunch across the street for using a whistle.

It's the 'big-liest' loss of jobs in decades.
But at least the Oval office now has 'gold' leaf and a marble bathroom.
I wonder what the toilet paper is like?

I totally agree with that.
This piece I did two years ago got me through the funeral. Taking the evil words highlighted in red that were told to me and going through the sieve in myself to become healing blue energy. Parents are reflected in glasses and via shadow.

When this invasion started I added these things to my bag: the pink triangle to remind me what has happened in the past; whistles; and a copy of "On Tyranny" by @timothysnyder.bsky.social .
When I don't take my bag, I wear my whistle around my neck.

If people bring their children and pets, are they called "starbabies"?
If people get Starbucks tattoos, are those called a "Star Brand"?
When Starbucks makes a jalapeño-infused matcha topped with chili foam and fire-roasted pepper sprinkles, is that called "Starfire"?
Don't forget 'Star Wars'

I have never had to show my ID at the grocery store. I never had to show my ID at the gas station. Only place I have had to show ID was going in a bar.
That must be my white privilege.
Trump has probably never been to a grocery store nor pumped his own gas.
That is his millionaire privilege.

This She-Hulk Sunday has some trivia. @knowlan.bsky.social did some pages in the back of Marvel Fanfare #18. John Byrne saw this in the Marvel offices and incorporated in his comic. John's version saw print before Kevin's. There is a note on the splash page.

I got issue #1 early in my comic collecting. My bookstore had bagged comics on sale for 25 cents U. S.
I bought twelve packs of two different sets of polybagged comics that included two comics.
These were the comics.
Early warning sign ignored when I saw the hairy chest on the Moon Knight cover.

Oui! La Parisienne in Paris!! Our wait wasn't very long. That is where my husband fell in love with pain aux raisin. The ones here at La Boulangerie are acceptable.
Lost Larson now too sweet
There is a new place in Evanston called Praline Cauldron that just opened that we want to try. French man

Our Chicago Alderperson shared two important graphics, including the SALUTE acronym. Other is how to differentiate the different badges officers wear.
Yesterday they used a Cemetery as a base of command. Last week they used a Target parking garage.
