Scooby Doo - Pirates Ahoy! - Book To Color With Stickers - Tear And Share Pages - 2006 Dalmation Press 15479 - Art by Scott Neely - ISBN: 1403724318 I bought this on eBay from the long time Scooby-Doo artist Scott Neely who has countless Scooby Doo comic credits to his name as well as comic stories for Dexter's Laboratory, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n Eddy and some Strawberry Shortcake books. His eBay store (cartoonpow) has original art from this book for sale as well as other things.  #hannabarbera #piratesahoy #scoobydoopiratesahoy #dalmationpress #scoobydoo #coloringbook #cartooncomics #cartoons #piratesofinstagram #hanbabarberacoloringbook #cartooncoloringbook #cartooncharacters #scoobydoobook #scoobydoocoloringbook #shaggyandscooby #funnyanimals #hannabarberateens #scoobyandshaggy #coloring #cartoonpow #piratetreasure #scottneely #stickers #coloringpage (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0PlBk_hdJg/?igshid=1n914ycghcz9w

A lot o' talk this week about men in drag. I grew up pretty gothy in the 80s and 90s and I'm a guy who never cared what people think o' me or if they care what I'm wearin'. I've worn skirts, dresses, make up, and some styles that have caused dudes to pick fights with me, insult me, throw stuff at me from movin' vehicles, etc... (Side note: some o' them had to live with the fact that they were beaten up in front o' their friends by a guy in a skirt and make up) It's just clothes and style. Get over it, people. But, when it comes to drag and LGBTQ+, it's identity and who they are, so ye haters have zero leg to stand on. Who are ye to say what other people can wear? These are probably the same people who say they love the constitution and the 1st and 2nd amendments, not wantin' anyone to infringe on those rights...but then they infringe on freedom o' expression all the time. And these ignorant fools like to say that dressin' in certain ways harms children...how? Why are ye raisin' yer children to be scared o' clothes? Clothes. How weak are ye? Recognize that yer ignorant and being brainwashed into hatin' people for NO reason. As Christopher Hitchens once said, "Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.". ❤🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ #miccillian #captncillian #pirate #piratesoffacebook #piratesofinstagram #canada #mentalhealthawareness #transrights #lgbtq #drag #crossdressing #goth #freedomofexpression #progressive #politics #fashion #style #christopherhitchens (at Waterloo, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqWhHeJLSo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As I'm comin' close to the end o' my Mass Effect Legendary Edition journey, with only one mission left before I pass the point o' no return toward the finale, I thought I'd post this article on Facebook and Instagram (by Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer) that explains just how important pop culture is to us and how investin' in a story can be extremely impactful (for better or for worse). So, if yer readin' this on Instagram, I apologize that ye can't see the link, just part o' the article's headline in the photo, because social media sucks except for Facebook, regardless o' what the kids say. 😄 We can all accept and move forward, feel disappointed and speak up, or do what we've seen become the norm on the internet for the past decade...become toxic and throw tantrums, callin' it "freedom". I played the original Mass Effect series many times and still hold the opinion that it is a top 3 greatest game o' all time (along with the Red Dead Redemption series and The Last Of Us series). Luckily, Bioware listened to the fans and amended the final game in the trilogy with an extended cut, which has now become the standard version in this remastered Legendary Edition a decade later. Still, we must be a bit more flexible and a bit more intelligent with what fights we choose and what outcomes we demand. Stay calm. Enjoy life. #miccillian #captncillian #pirate #piratesoffacebook #piratesofinstagram #videogames #masseffect #bioware #masseffectlegendaryedition #theringer #benlindbergh #toxicfandom (at Waterloo, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnj6RKuLUIH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤 Leonard Cohen exhibition at the AGO in Toronto.

The poet doesn't always confess in verse, sometimes distress in written in the eyes. #captncillian #miccillian #pirate #piratesoffacebook #piratesofinstagram #poet #poetry #mentalhealthawareness #menshealth #canadianmentalhealthassociation #suicideprevention #canada (at Waterloo, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cme-Schps5g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Avast! I have returned somewhat unscathed from the Wassail: A Yule Celebration event, put on by the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA)! It was a fantastic day and everyone involved in the plannin' and facilitatin' should be happy how it turned out! Many friends got recognition and awards for their years o' great effort and service, as did I! I was surrounded by royalty and nobles alike, thinkin' I would be placed in scuppers and thrown in the brig for piracy, but to my great surprise, I was awarded with another letter o' marque, invitin' me to the beginnin' tier in my bardic path, known as the Orion! Huzzah! Or, I should say, Wassail! Also, I received much love yesterday: - Words o' bardic encouragement - Comfortin' support for my fight against mental illness. - MicCilliantide birthday gifts which include homemade mead, a flintlock pistol-dagger, a beautifully-crafted clay bowl. - And because I helped out with servin' food at the dinner feast, I not only got free food but also a beeswax candle, a pen, and some knitted slippers! Thank ye all so very kindly for the kindness, recognition, and love! A special thanks to the two gentlemen who drove me to and from the event, Keegan Frederick Pyette and Stephan Szeker! Without ye two, I wouldn't have been able to experience Wassail this year! If anyone took any photos o' me, please either post them here or send them to me, I'd love to see them!
