I draw watercolor postcard journal comics and SuperButch, a 1940s lesbian superhero history noir webcomic
I just showed Cold Mountain to some friends, and it favorably impressed someone with a special interest in historical textiles and clothing 😊
The “check engine” light on your dashboard@aklingus.bsky.social · 4h agoI’m gonna reverse this question for fun: what’s a movie whose historical verisimilitude impressed you in proportion for what you were expecting? My choice is Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure bsky.app/profile/dear...
🤔 Maybe I’ll finally make it to an urban sketchers event this weekend, I mused, completely forgetting that my job is taking me to 3 states in 3 days 🫠
It’s at Rose City Comics on 10/30, starting at 5:30PM. The event is not ticketed and free to attend! Here’s a link to the store’s website: www.rosecitycomics.com

girls only want one thing and it is a single aspect of human life that has not been intentionally made worse in the interest of chasing limitless profit
Register to vote if you somehow aren’t. If you are and can see this, vote ASAP and put it in a drop box. Getting your ballot counted saves the campaigns time & $$$ NOT canvassing you, calling you, serving you ads. And you get bothered less!
Jeff Merkley@jeff-merkley.bsky.social · 10h agoOregon: TOMORROW is the last day to register to vote. Head over to OregonVotes.gov to make sure you’re registered.
New England highway rest areas make me nervous. Too many trees, and folks drive too fast through em. I’ll take the creepiness of the desolate, wide open rest areas of the west any day. . Rest Stop In Fog 10”x9” oil
It’s actually happening. Ford is set to rip the Bloor bike lane out tomorrow. Lets get every person on a bike in the GTA out for this. Tuesday Oct 13th. 5pm. Tom Riley Park

😳 I’m guessing the story about a golem trying to repair the world with his limited time on earth resonates harder with the adults than the kids. Luckily there’s also a main character who’s tired of working in mama’s bakery and wants some excitement 😄 The music’s good, too!
PDX: If you want to show your kids a Jewish musical BESIDES Fiddler, may I recommend The Golem’s Gift, today at 2pm

📰 👀 So apparently it’s bad when the city council is tied 6-6… and it’s tied because progressive candidates don’t compromise… and it would be really bad if we got one more progressive candidate to break the tie…
And even more reasons listed in the comments!
Ian Coldwater 🧊🚫@lookitup.baby · 2d agoHi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

I love taking the train between San Diego and Los Angeles since it's such a gorgeous view but there's just no way it'll still exist on the same track a generation from now. www.instagram.com/reels/DeSCAh...
That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.
Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.
Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com · 2y agoHappy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!
"We didn't think the audience would connect with a heavier actress." That's... weirdly the point? That people who maybe don't connect with her see themselves in her bullies and realize "I would have been one of the ones she killed at prom"? They didn't earn the right to the comfort of feeling safe.
Thinking of a guy at IU Bloomington who wanted us to know his hometown was a great place to grow up! One time a Black family moved in and everyone was just kind of cold until they left. Same thing with a Jewish family. But everyone know everyone, and no one locked their doors! It’s a wonderful town
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last wk.Holy shit.
i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:
*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.
Bolts@boltsmag.org · 6d agoMany states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.
The culture of “compulsory kinship” was always one-way, though. Maybe boomers were expected to stay close with their aging parents, but their parents could and did cut them off for being gay, marrying outside the faith, etc.

Also, that apartment offers tours between 9:30 and 5. Hope you can take some time off work.
Becky Hawkins@postcardsbybecky.bsky.social · last wk.Are there rent control studies that account for what a fucking time sink and money sink moving is? 😑 Are workers perhaps less productive when they’re exhausted from learning a new supermarket layout and trying to figure out which box that important thing is in?
