I personally plan to feel bad about a lot of things today, but not that I hoped and believed in a different outcome.

📢 Chicago, your monthly siren test is today at 10AM! Remember, it's just a test, not a cause for alarm. Stay safe, folks!

Good morning! I like to vote on the day (and I'm lucky to live in a place where that isn't difficult), so I got up early and did just that!

Enjoy a lovely afternoon by a pond under a blue sky with puffy white clouds. A Western Grebe is peeping, a hidden Sora is laughing, and American Coots are honking

A fine little threadlet!
A Halloween story from Bernd Heinrich's book Mind of the Raven:
According to Heinrich, there are many accounts of hikers hearing loud raven calls, turning around, and seeing a bear.
The hikers often feel grateful to the raven for warning them of the bear's presence.

Brandon's Tarotober drawings have been so good.
Happy Halloween, it's my last Tarotober and I drew a Reverse Page of Pentacles. The Reverse page can represent decay so I went with the imagery of a writhing mass of inky blackness and teeth to close out the month. I really enjoyed these Tarot card drawings and I hope you did as well

@pdynowski.bsky.social described this exact series (ROX-WSOX) as "pervert baseball for baseball perverts".
So here’s the problem - baseball goes out on a high with the World Series and it makes you miss it. They should follow that up with a three game series between the White Sox and the Rockies so we can say we’ve had our fill

I feel like it’s worth acknowledging that a huge part of what makes Billy on the Street funny is that whoever edits it has an exquisite sense of timing.

It's the Chariot for today's Tarotober. I imagined him as a big, floating brick man and I really feel like I delivered. The Chariot represents overcoming obstacles so I feel like my brain said "make him obstacle shaped"

They're bringing the Meximelt back for a limited time - cc: @hooverstreetrag.org - and I can have about seven glorious weeks of my perfect Taco Bell order. (Mexican pizza and a Meximelt) As @vixgreen.bsky.social says: Taco Bell! It's cheaper than food!

I'm out and about on my own today, since Paul's sleep schedule is upside-down right now. Went and got my eyebrows waxed, now heading for brunch, then a double feature of The Wild Robot and We Live in Time, unless I decide to just go home and do a puzzle and watch The Righteous Gemstones instead.
