Happy Halloween!! 🎃

Wanted to do a tribute to my favorite Halloween special growing up: Scary Godmother!! I tried to combine the styles of the film, the original comic, and my own style!!

When I was a kid, Scary Godmother and its sequel were on Cartoon Network seemingly all the time during this time of year. And I LOVED IT!!! It has a very special place in my heart and always will.

she got this painting for $75 in an old case at an antique market shes been going to for years, and she thought it looks really beautiful, so she sent an email to a local art center to have it appraised

and now she has an art conservator in her emails making a plan to have her come bring it in to be appraised as a genuine Hokusai wood block print from over a hundred of years ago

no joke, she got it at an antique market. but she didnt even buy the painting. she bought a bag that the painting was in, cuz she's an artist.

when she got home, the bag fell over, and the painting fell out. into the lap of an unsuspecting small town idaho girl (my ma) (that's how she described it).

After he had been expelled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection he was given a transcript of his interrogation which was riddled with an abundance of mistakes, possibly lies:

He's an immigrant in Norway with a Spanish passport. (He's a Norwegian citizen.)

He had a pipe physically with him. (He had a picture of one on his cell phone.)

He was going to visit family in the U.S. (He has no family in the U.S

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

In 2017, American film researchers recovered “Something Good – Negro Kiss,” a short film depicting a playful kiss between a Black couple which had not seen the light of day for more than a century. A long-forgotten artifact from the earliest years of American film, the sweet, humanizing vignette, produced by the Selig Polyscope Company, makes a startling contrast to the overwhelmingly racist and blackface-ridden contempory portrayals of African Americans. Four years later in 2021, archivists in Norway, halfway across the world, identified a sister short in their collections—an extended alternate cut which reveals more of Chicago stage performers Gertie Brown and Saint Suttle’s vaudeville-like routine, a theatrical, hot-and-cold romantic dynamic between two lovers which parodies the popular and controversial short “The Kiss” (1896). Both films, which had previously been lost, were known from entries in old motion picture catalogs but had been assumed to be era-typical, anti-Black “race films” until their rediscovery in the 21st century. Together with its more famous sibling, which has since been inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, this alternate version of “Something Good” represents the first-known instance of Black intimacy ever captured on-screen.

heres Niagra Falls NY! google love canal!

its a good tool to see what environmental factors could be harming your health that you may not know about. this is not limited to toxic waste so look around at it

my favorite is looking at roads. there are some interesting correlations. Here is a map of Buffalo NY with traffic proximity

here it is again but with where people are getting asthma :P

crazy

heres where the people of color live in Buffalo btw

in case you where wondering what the explanatory factor here is, its the 6-lane expressway that they ran through a residential community in the 50s. a redlined neighborhood btw. the road used to be beautiful parkway. thank you Urban Renewal, thank you Robert Moses, and thank you Kensington Expressway

here are some other mapping resources from the notes. this is not everything, but it is a start.
