In a Mood

Mr. Putin says “Bots are good fr you!”
I don’t subscribe to this point of view.

A Tasty Memory

Fellow Traveler Anne Skove relates a first from younger days in this week's comic. Read "She Who Laughs Lasts" now at Oddball Magazine. 


I'll Be Late

 

Packing up and heading for home. Hopefully, I can post Patreon work later.

Watching It Happen

Mike Mesterton-Gibbons on the comeuppance of someone else other than Trump will open this holiday Monday at Oddball Magazine. 


Hey, It's Monday!

That means it's only two more days to Timothy Gager's feature!

My Monday Morning Music

I decided to do a theme of monster themed songs this week. The first song is "Monster" from Fred Schneider of the B-52s. I was surprised I was able to see this video. It looks like this video was banned on MTV, so I might have found it on the then-local UHF video channel site V66. Really.

 

 


Happy Birthday, Ermira Mitre

Keep writing.


Happy Birthday, Wazir X Gray

 

 


Happy Birthday, Jan Rowe



Boo Week Two!

Another graffiti ghost I've seen around the city. This one's from South Boston.


This Week's Friendly Reminder

They may call Trump a Nazi, they may draw him to look like a Nazi, but don't let that distract you from the fact that Trump is a Nazi.


Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day

Let's go five minutes without committing a genocide.

Friends Like These

Here's a selfie Toni Bee took of her and Ed Gault four years ago during a Stone Soup event at one of the Fort Point Arts Community events I couldn't host because I was away during the holiday weekend. Ed hosted and Toni provided the extra energy. I haven't seen either Toni or Edward face to face for quite a bit. I hope I'm able to get together with them and other local Stone Soupers before the end of the year.


Happy Birthday, Leo Racicot

 

 


Happy Belated Birthday, Anthony Robinson

 

 


Happy Belated Birthday, Rick Lupert

 

 


Happy Belated Birthday, Sam Cha

 

 


Another Nice Little Mark for the Fall

"My Final Resumé Objective" is my latest little poem for the fifteenth issue of Molecule. So glad to be published with other poets like Noah Berlatsky, Drew Pisarra, Toby Hofacre and many others. Read it here.


Your Weekly Dose of God

Found these unattended signs walking through Boston proper last Sunday.

Signs: "Seeking Human Kindness," "Never Give Up, Love, Hope, Strength, Love, Courage, Love, Love, Love," "Need Food, Please Help," "WWJD"
