Happy Friday! You've made it to the end of the week. To celebrate, here's a drawing from of a very feisty eel 1908. The drawing is titled "Two Men on a Boat are Attacked by a Sea Monster." But that's wrong. It's a big ol' eel, and maybe those dudes shouldn't be so mean to it. šŸ—ƒļøšŸ§Ŗ

B&W ink pen drawing of two men in a small boat, with a large eel. The sky on the horizon has been colored an uneven blue. The water looks choppy, with small waves near the boat and bigger ones just behind it.

The eel is rearing up, and facing the man at the front of the boat. From its posture, it seems to be attacking him. It's expression, however is somewhat calm, suggesting that it is either: a) very comfortable with violence; or b) just wants to talk. The eel has a line coming out of it's mouth, and has probably been hooked and hauled into the boat. You'd want to talk, too. 

For their part, the men look distressed. The one facing the eel, at the front of the boat, is holding an oar and about to fall into the water. The man at the back has a club, and is probably about to go after the eel. He is wearing a wide tie, which is not appropriate garb for eel fighting.

The drawing is from: Wellcome Library V0049550; https://wellcomeimages.org/indexplus/image/V0049550.html

Weā€™ve been watching Slow Horses (Apple+) for the first time, catching up, and we just started season three last night. Our dedication has paid off because in S3E1 there is (SPOILER ALERT) not one but TWO different handsome man booties. I wasnā€™t even expecting cake but it was served generously.

Today, NY Mag published an excerpt of my book, in which I talk about the past 50 years of the abusive evangelical "biblical parenting" movement, how "parental rights" entered the political lexicon, and why you shouldn't hit your kids: www.thecut.com/article/the-...

... y'all. Michigan let kids design this year's I Voted stickers. Here's one of the stickers you can get when you vote in Michigan.

A werewolf tearing its way out of a t-shirt, howling defiance at the sky, in front of an American flag with "I VOTED" emblazoned at the top.

My spouse fed his selfies into an A.I. headshot generator (he has a non-acting job that requires one) and it made him look like a gallery owner with three chins (and I donā€™t mean like a double chin- three chins like: uuu). I told him the pictures really sucked!

I spent all day looking all over for a small accessories bag because it had several of my best pens in itā€¦retracing my steps: at a historical house, the antique shop, the grocery storeā€¦ the whole time it was in my pantry under a bag of chips because it had been in the same reusable shopping bag. šŸ˜…

There are so many good spooky movies on Criterion, Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m going to make an effort to watch as many as I can! Tonight we watched an Italian film called ā€œIl Demonioā€ (1963) about a young woman who dabbles in magic to make a man love herā€¦ and things go VERY BADLY for her!

A black and white still image of a beautiful but disheveled young woman with raven black hair. She is holding an open pair of scissors flat against her forehead, which is very unsettling. The scissors give the impression that she has horns.

Truly can't stop thinking about Ta-Nehisi Coates' appearance on CBS & the shitmouthed white man who spoke to him like a pissy little bitch
