I was walking on a rather remote beach when I came upon this Whip eel drying up in the sun. These are intertidal eels that can actually handle themselves out of water for a bit, but it’s not normal for them to be fully exposed in direct sunlight like this. The tide was at least six hours from coming in and I felt like this eel was in distress, so I made the decision to dig him out and return to the ocean. His body was too delicate to be simply pulled from the hole without injury, so I got to digging.

This endeavor took about 40 minutes as the eel was quite long and difficult to excavate. Also had to continually refill my temporary eel pond to keep him from drying out entirely while I worked.

If you are an eel aficionado like myself, please enjoy this silly little video of the relocation process set to some jaunty royalty-free disco music.

Fundraiser for Ondi Timoner

There's a lot of fundraisers and Gofundme campaigns right now set up to help those impacted by the L.A. wildfires. Filmmaker Ondi Timoner and her partner Morgan were among those impacted. They lost their home while both were overseas and in addition to personal belongings their film equipment, research, awards, etc were destroyed as well.

Ondi is one of the great documentary filmmakers of our time. I was so blown away by her 2004 years-in-the-making doc Dig! about the friendship and rivalry between indie rock bands The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre after I saw it in the movie theater that I actually reached out to her via her website and she got back to me. I sent her my short film Musician For Hire, which had some similar themes as Dig!, and she gave me some great feedback and we later met up at the Dig! DVD Party in NYC. We have met a few times since and stayed in touch. Since Dig! she has made several fascinating docs such as Join Us about escapees from a cult and We Live in Public about an early dot-com pioneer. In early 2023 I interviewed Ondi via phone about her phenomenal and deeply personal documentary Last Flight Home (which I named Best Documentary of 2022) and she was super cool (as usual).

I donated to the Gofundme for her and I encourage you to consider donating if you can: https://gofund.me/01daa3ec

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.

As a treat for the 6th Anniversary of Scarlet Lady, I finally drew up that little fighting montage that I talked about way back in the Finale. You know, the one that goes between this page and this page? Enjoy!

Cute he thought he'd get anywhere.

And for our live commentator: Fenice!

(Nathaniel is still bitter about Hawkmoth stealing his OC for his akumasona.)

Just nip THAT little problem in the bud.

Hey, at least you finally got hit somewhere other than your face! 😗

When the nice kids choose violence, you're screwed.

"Anton Newcombe does not support  the recently screened documentary film 'DIG!'  in its currently edited form. 

Thanks for taking the time to ask how I feel about this project.  I care very much about my work, I always have, and hope that that was made clear in the film.  I have no desire to interfere with the flim makers in any way, and until very recently, I never bothered to view any of the footage.

I was shocked and let down when I saw the end result.  Several years of our hard work was reduced at best to a series of punch-ups and mishaps taken out of context, and at worst bold faced lies and misrepresentation of fact.

A perfect example is footage shown of me getting arrested in Georgia. The narration and editing suggest that I am being arrested for drug possession.  It was actually Ondi who was arrested for possession, and rightly so, as the drugs were hers.  I happened to have an expired license.

Another odd editing choice is that the footage concerning myself and the BJM in the film stops in 1997, while the Dandy's footage goes through 2003.  This leads the viewer to believe that I fell off the earth in a drugged-out downward spiral of insanity.  Nothing could be farther from the truth. I quit heroin over 5 years ago, thank God, and have been more productive than ever making albums and touring all over the world.

I would like to explain why I let this person film our band in the first place.  She asked me to be a part of a project about bands.  She listed off a number of future nobodies and agreed to come to San Francisco to meet us.  I told her that I intended to take over her movie, and introduced her to the Dandy Warhols.  I thought it would be wonderful to capture how all of the industry bullshit can destroy bands and friendships just as much as drugs and fame. When the project started, neither one of our groups had major labels, but we both knew the direction life was taking us.  I remember Ondi being very keen on all of this.

I accept that people will make up their own minds about this film when they see it.  I just feel ripped off by the "lowest common denominator" culture machine (something I don't cater to).

Please let me know if you have any more specific questions.
