Post a witch you'd want to be friends with. 🧙‍♀️
Picture of Fairuza Balk from The Craft. She's got shortish black hair, lots of dark makeup around her eyes (very goth!), hot red lipstick, and is wearing a spiked choke collar. She has her head slightly tilted.

FINALLY watched THE LONG WALK (shout out to my buddy read/watch pal for kicking this into gear; at the very least pushing me to read faster, ha!) and godDAMN. GOD. DAMN! @markhamillofficial.bsky.social brought it. Amazing performances all around and the movie just delivers.

I'm still reeling.

#Kindle #deal! Whoa! @sgj.bsky.social's latest, STATES OF GRACE, is just $2.99!! It's like a late Christmas gift showing up on your ereader! #booksky #ad #amreading

Book cover for Stephen Graham Jones' STATES OF GRACE. It features a face made up of different people (and one animal!). The strips are a mixture of young and old (and a lion?). The top is just a glimpse of a forehead with black hair. Then there's more hair, but it's in black and white and almost looks like it was drawn with a pencil. Next strip, you see gray hair on the sides of a heavily wrinked forehead, and the beginning of some dark eyebrows. A painting of someone's eyes follows, then an old picture of the top of a nose, followed by the bottom nose of a lion. Beneath that are lips from a painting and the next strip contains the chin. The neck strip shows a spiked necklace tight around it.

We all read some bad books this year. I didn’t finish some and had to write negative reviews here and there. However, what I really want to hear about is the stuff that blew your mind, that made you think, that stayed with you. Tell me about the cool books you loved this year.

Cecilia Giménez, famed for ‘Monkey Christ’ mural mishap, dies at 94
Cecilia Giménez, famed for ‘Monkey Christ’ mural mishap, dies at 94
Spanish woman’s attempted restoration of church artwork was widely mocked but became lucrative tourist attraction Cecilia Giménez, the woman who achieved unwanted international fame for her botched “Monkey Christ” restoration of a 19th-century mural in Borja, north-east Spain, has died aged 94. In 2012, Giménez, an amateur artist, decided to restore Ecce Homo, a mural by a local artist, Elías García Martínez, that hung in the Santuario de Misericordia church in Borja. However, her talent as an artist was not equal to her good intentions and she produced what was described as the worst restoration in history. Continue reading...

You know, if they made the death penalty for anyone convicted of spamming (be it email, phone or mail), I bet it would drop off significantly.

Heads up, folks. Make sure you get your vote in early!

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
