There are two types of people in the world: Those who eagerly countdown to the first day it’s socially acceptable to put up Halloween decorations and those who realize a few days before Halloween that it’s time to throw together a costume. Thegraphic design company Baboon Creation is definitely the former. The site has been counting down to Halloween since October 1 with graphics than transform horror’s scariest creatures into adorable GIFs.
The 2015 Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular is currently underway in Iroquois Park in Louisville, KY. Once again the master pumpkin carving artists from Passion for Pumpkins (previously featured here) have outdone themselves by carving 5,000 awesome jack-o’-lanterns that currently line a ¼-mile walking trail, lit up in spooktacular fashion from dusk to 11pm through November 1st, 2015.
Validation - it’s ok that I hurt and want to feel better
Reassurance - I can handle this pain, even though it hurts and I don’t like it
Perspective taking: I’ve had bad days like this before, and my record of making it through them is 100%. I can also remember my better days, and know I’m not always hurting this much
I got introspective one day and sketched out a 6 panel comic. It sat in a folder for a few days before I expanded it to 10. Then it sat for a week. After which, I moved on. The expiration date had passed, and the comic joined the rest of the half-drawn files in the very same folder.
I still don’t like it anymore, but I’ll take the victories where I can.
I pretty much ignored the Boycott Star Wars VII ordeal because it sounded like a bunch of trolls and people giving them attention. Then I saw a couple people who actually think that this film is anti-white.
White people are so used to being the default and seeing themselves at the forefront of literally EVERYTHING that the minute they AREN’T they want to feel oppressed and ‘omg white genocide.’
White people are so WEAK.
everyone who is able please go buy tickets. Fuck, go see it twice. Take ya momma with you.

These idiots are missing out on what looks like it’s going to be a really badass installment to the franchises … I’m surprised there hasn’t been also been a Furiosa-esque grumpiness about there being a female protagonist involved as well (I guess if bigots can only pick one battle at a time, and it’s always going to be towards the POC…)
