Anyone else ever feel like this? 🤔
I guess the universe is just going for a concept album of sorts with the 2020s, between the pandemic and war and well... *gestures at everything*
🔮 Clairvoyance is on the calendar! 🗓️
Today isn't a special occasion for me because I practice being psychic every day. All I do is expect the worst and that's usually what happens; however, this bleak worldview is not without its silver linings — because I often get to gloat about being right. Who says pessimists never have any fun!
Why are skeletons so relaxed? 💀
Okay — it's Halloween, obviously, but it is also Samhain. The Celts believed that during Samhain the veil between our world and the next was the thinnest, so it's a perfect day to leave an offering for the spirits you want to appease or hold that séance to commune with them. Carpe noctem!
😒 Our weekend plans? Same old same old. 🔥
Maybe it's just me, but it sure feels like things are heating up despite the approach of winter. As The Bard (aka Raekwon) once said, "you don't believe in Heaven 'cuz we livin' in Hell." Touché, Raekwon. Touché.
Gourd Vibes Only 🎃
It's a perfect day to treat yourself to some salty roasted seeds, a spicy latte, or a slice of pie.
🤨 That's gonna be a hard pass for me...
Today is National Good & Plenty Day, an occasion notable only because it manages to be both the oldest branded candy in the United States AND the most disgusting "candy" of all time.*
😤 If you're not the turn the other cheek sort...
As you can see, we have a new set of kitchen towels up top, inspired by us being totally over tolerating bad behavior. When we started Boredwalk we were more inclined to just ignore trolls and quietly deal with people stealing our art behind the scenes. Lately, we've been feeling a lot... um, wrathier... and serving up clap backs and smackdowns* when people have it coming.
Mistakes were made 🥴
Today is all about taking stock of your life with an aim to improve on what's going wrong and celebrate what isn't. I think most of us have a mixed bag. Was it a mistake to leave the banal stability my corporate 9-5 to build Boredwalk? Jury's still out. I would do a lot of things differently if I knew then what I know now
What kinda pasta grants wishes? 🤨
Okay that joke was pretty cheesy, but not as cheesy as my favorite comfort food. Today is National Pasta Day, an excuse to indulge in everyone's* favorite carb.
If you're feeling discouraged... 😈
It's National Dessert Day and I am all for it! I am a huge fan of dessert, and the only real problem with it is that it's normally served after a meal, when I am probably too full to eat it. It should really be National Eat Dessert First Day so I can have some.
Well at least something is free in this economy 🙌
National Freethought Day is here to encourage us all to embrace logic and evidence-based decision making.
No, you're not crazy... 😒
It's World Mental Health Day. If you struggle with your mental health, you're far from alone. I struggle with anxiety and depression, but in my defense (and maybe yours), the world is a depressing and anxiety-inducing place, so I guess it's to be expected.
