A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

HELL YEAH! out here finally getting its question answered

what more can be said

April is getting away fast but it’s still #autism awareness month — and I write things. (And I’m hella autistic). Representation matters. Disability rights matter. LGBTQ rights matter. ❤️
Also, murder stories.

This is the most I have ever related to a famous person possibly ever 😂😭

i am willing to rebuild my life around a statement that fucks this hard

Feeling a lot of this rn. Don't be afraid to take a break and sharpen your axe rather than hack down a tree with a dull blade.

From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks

Wow… this really cuts to the heart of a great deal of things

...What did he do now?

I think about this all the time

About teaching an eleven-year-old Magic: we have a How to Play Magic area in the Bibloplex (I still cannot get over the part where THEY BUILT ME A BIBLIOPLEX). A dude came in with his daughter. He already knew and enjoyed Magic, but she didn't want to learn from her dad. Kids sometimes don't.

Fascistic and sexually censorious societies tend to devolve into this. Pornography is limited and banned, but advertising and political expression become highly sexual through repressed eroticism. You can see this through the increase in euphemisms and innuendos in today’s ad slogans

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

I take offense.
What my soulmate Godzilla and I have is a wholesome, full, healthy, happy, and at times, open relationship. To call Mothra, Godzilla's side chick, is completely disrespectful to our mutual arrangement!

Damn that art is so good

That your dreams are great

Exactly one year ago today:

A female anthro Mexican free-tailed bat wearing a blue cocktail dress hangs upside-down from a stalactite in a cave while singing into a old-time microphone over a lit stage on the cave floor. She holds a trombone as she sings.

Today is National Bat Appreciation Day!

I commissioned this piece from @tacorat.com a few years ago as a birthday gift for my dad, who as a young man had both a summer job catching bats for research and an impressive collection of vinyl jazz albums.

He still keeps this on the wall of his house.
