Miss Universe Philippines has a mythology theme going on this year, which is great for anyone whose interests contain both monster girls and mahou shoujo villains (like yours truly).

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Snake Spoons 'S-s-s-spoon' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Lacewood. By request did a sort of remake in Sapele wood. That last one might have been dyed Lacewood.. but don't really remember just now. #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #design #woodworking #carving #snake #woodenspoon #whimsical 🐍 🥄

I’m rarely ever sick so when it finally happens my weakened state makes it harder to run from all the people whose life force I’ve been draining to stay healthy. Sure they’re slow (from the drainin’) but they have numbers and wizened rage.

Les Pommes, a typically tasteful picture from Jan Frans de Boever (1872-1949) Wikipedia: "From 1909 onwards, he modified his style radically, painting women and prostitutes in morbid and bizarre settings, with skeletons, diabolism, subservient men and eroticism dominating his paintings." #LesBelges

Today I've discovered an animal called "Skeleton panda sea squirt" exists. A sessile, filter feeding tunicat.

I found a gold-rimmed photograph of my 101 year-old Mom, taken when she was only 10. And I also found a gold-rimmed clock. So I hung them next to each other. We say clocks measure time, but I’ve never seen a thing that doesn’t measure time, one way or another.

Yesterday, I shared a dental phantom. Today, I present... Obstetric Phantom, 18th century. The wood and leather model was used to teach medical students, and possibly midwives, about childbirth. It came from the Hospital del Ceppo in Pistoia, near Florence, founded in 1277. #histmed #medsky

We have Thanksgiving because after Halloween our skeletons get rowdy think they are in charge. So we need to layer up some fat over them to get them to settle down again

If you cut the roof off of Baba Yaga’s hut it can still run around for several minutes, but this is only a reflex action of the house’s nerves, not magic (as previously believed)

These male & female memento mori figurines were used for spiritual contemplation in the 19th century. They reminded the owner of the transience of life and material luxury. They are now part of the Wellcome Collection in London. Personally, I think they'd make great wedding cake toppers!

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

Finding out that Lake Superior "Never gives up its dead" because it's so cold that the colonies of bacteria that decompose corpses can't survive in it so those bodies never fill up with gas and surface, all because I looked up the lyrics of a 1976 folk song, is what the internet should be more like.

Humanity loves bears, because they are adorable in appearance. Women chose the bear, because bears appear innocuous. Care Bears are cute bears. Skulls are Care Bears. Skulls invoke a feeling of safety and cuteness. I am very smart and right about everything; a thought leader of my time.
