Hanover Tavern has mounted a remarkable musical about Gabriel's slave rebellion. Passionate, committed performances, stirring songs, historically accurate moving narrative, and courage to do this right now. If you can get there, do.

My note to Senator Kaine - I voted for you for mayor, governor, Senator every time and VP. May I just say, Go F*ck Yourself.

Happy Birthday Jim Steranko!

Sharing that famous full-page seduction from your Nick Fury run.

(Story goes that Comics Code Authority made him redraw so phone would not be off the hook, but to me it works even better with it orgasmically ringing.)

Agree with this David Smith takeaway from the big Dem sweep, in today's Guardian. Go Blue!

Our dear Buddy turns 7 today.

Not sure if his costume is pc (see alt text), but as usual he's Halloweening on his birthday as Sirius Black.

On this morning's woods walk, came across this fellow who's clearly thinking, "Will you please - I'm dining!"

Have been thinking about monsters this #Halloween week.

It's Francis Bacon's birthday today. He knew thereof.

The British National Theatre version of #Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Monster. Wow!

You can rent it or if you have a sub to Alexander Street through your local library watch it for free.

Perfect for #Halloween week!

I grew up on these #books, saved the whole collection in all my travels, then lost them in a house fire some time ago. Sweet memory to see them in the Special Collections Room at the #Richmond, #Virginia main library, and glad they're well protected!

Body snatcher, grave robber, ghoul, pariah, witch doctor, and midnight rambler. He's all that:
