Oh! One of my favourite artists as a kid, Leo Dillon, has died. IO9 has an article with all his sff covers, but I knew him from kids' books. I didn't know he had such an extensive reputation among adults.

Ashanti to Zulu was a great book--it had one African tribe per letter, with a relevant illustration and a couple paragraphs about them as a people. Back in the day I could rattle off all 26. He and his wife were my second favourite artist to Tom Feelings (And Moja Means One).

Oh, Beau. Ladyhawke is a classic! Doomed love! Charming pickpockets! Villains!

How the fuck? The kid who plays Joffrey is 20! I gotta reshuffle some things in my head, but this article: [link] made him sound older than the fifteen year old I was envisioning.

He does look young.

Mets fans! Santana is pitching a no-hitter! One out in the ninth, two to go ...

HE DID IT!!!

Woo!

I don't understand why anything grunge would be on Etsy. Isn't it (grunge) pretty much thrift store/hand-me-down stuff?

Oh, but all the hip young things want vintage 90s grunge things. IDEK.

I'd wear that (possibly unfortunately--the heart wants what it wants). But I wouldn't call it Goth when I did.

As long as you don't try to tell me it's Goth, and how I just don't understaaaaaaaand Kids Today (pfft, whatever, babybats, the Goth subculture does TOO have specific styles), then that's fine! Wear what you want!

Hi, I am apparently a cranky ElderGoth tonight.

HE DID IT!!!

Shockingly the first no-hitter in Mets history (considering their history of elite pitchers).

Oh, dag, I may have some stuff in the basement for them!

No kidding. Tom Seaver came closest, and that was in the 70s.

Does mean I could sell my Dad's hand-me-down flannel shirts for a worthwhile price? I'm sure they're '90s.
