My bed is a circus filled with animals vying for my attention, but I think I finally captured a photo that explains (to me, somehow) why I named this guy Mouse. Look at that face! It's clearly his name.

Oh my god, what a haul. They should do some deep cuts into the 70s Hanna-Barbera catalog. Put the fever dream that was the Banana Splits onto Tubi. For the kids.

I have two cameras in my garage to make sure Mama cat is doing okay. She's going into heat again, but it makes her very cute. I've also loaded her attic space with catnip here and there, which she's recently been more interested in. It's good to have hobbies!

Having 6 cats (5 inside, 1 feralish terrorizing my garage) is objectively crazy person behavior, but I'm reluctantly having a great time. Arthur and Mouse are so goddamn cute and honestly some of the best cats I've ever had. They're really affectionate and my other cats tolerate them beyond my hopes

Winter seems sparkly and cozy in the first month, and then you're going into the fourth month and it starts to feel a bit Soviet. Am I in hell?

Hey friends, come see me next Saturday, Feb 7th at NW Indiana Comic Con in Crown Point! Finally, a convention I can get to in a reasonable amount of time! I'll have books and prints and stickers and pins!

I'm both too old and too young to be responsible for this many humidifiers.

Man, I would not take a 23-year-old's advice about life on anything, I'm pretty sure 23-year-olds can fall down a flight of stairs and they'd bounce back up like a rubber ball

Louise is sleeping in a way they'd pulling her face weird and it's very funny. She's been kind of off since we went outside in the 15°F cold in the afternoon for a potty break. Idk if it triggered her arthritis or what? She was happy to see the mailman, then ran back inside and wouldn't stop shaking

remarkably appropriate meme

Now that Clip Studio's January event is over, raise your hand if you got all your bonus Clippy points this year 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ I can't wait to forget to spend these before they expire!

Me blocking people for the pettiest of reasons

Another year, another rejection from C2E2 womp womp. Good news, I've applied to a few conventions in Michigan, which if that works, I'll have a very busy May! I also applied to DragonCon on a lark, but I won't know if I got in for awhile, I think. I'll be at NW Indiana Comic Con on February 7th tho!

I think it's finally stopped snowing, but it's also only 7 degrees (F) outside. When you're busy shoveling a foot of snow off of everything at 11pm, you don't really notice how cold it is, so at least there's that. I hate winter so, so, so much and I feel like I'm in prison, but it looks pretty.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

It is important to know that despite its prominence TikTok loses billions of dollars and tweaking algorithms lays havoc to your ad sales. Oracle is gonna destroy this thing and it’s going to combine with the data center debt and consume it whole www.theinformation.com/articles/tik...

My neighbor's BMW has been sitting outside running, warming up next to her husband's giant F150, for...an hour and a half? Ma'am, the car is warm. Go brush the snow off and go to Aldi or whatever.

The general openness prioritized in Midwestern culture is literally the greatest thing ever, but you do have to fully embrace it to appreciate it. You get Midwest Nice only if most people participate.

Where are you going, mother? Why aren't you taking me with you??

Don't tell my dog, but because I'm traveling today, I'm going to get showered and dressed before I take her outside and feed everyone. This will ruin her life, so don't let her know, okay? We must not break routine.

I know I've been in this cold ass climate too long when I'm just grateful that it's only getting down to -3° tomorrow. (Not counting wind-chill.) Only slightly below zero? Barely an inconvenience. (Probably.)

My local bookshop understands their audience.

I also received rejections along the lines of “I have no idea what to do with this/what you’re trying to say/how to market this, so I need to pass” And that’s OK. Cuz you don’t want an agent/editor who isn’t into your story! You want one that really, deeply GETS it, and advocates for it accordingly

We have a finite amount of time to spend thinking while on this earth and I am very resentful of how much of it has been monopolized by the whims of a demented old real estate scumbag

I think the best part of getting older is that, even if I'm hip to a lot of online discourse, I'm at a point where I'm very much like, whatever this discussion is has no relationship to me, and I do not have the time to care, and that's fine. The internet was just a lot smaller when I was young.

I'm going to gently remind people that, when the world is on fire and you feel helpless and weird, the best thing for your brain is getting out of the house and involving yourself in something. I started volunteering in 2016 (because election), and the time commitment is low, but I feel useful.

to gather, as the heavens fall #art

Sweet! We ate tacos and hashed out a lot of the issues I've faced with this final chapter. I worry I may be veering towards "zany" rather than whatever I normally aim for, so I need to workshop it with some friends a bit, but I like the ideas we came up with, and I couldn't have done it alone

kelty comic this week about to make the onion store a zillion dollars

I recommend having a good friend who runs a successful DND campaign to bounce story ideas off of. I'm buying my friend lunch in exchange for helping me narrow down resolutions to all my damn plot lines for chapter 14, and it'll be a huge weight off my brain to work some of this out finally.

And they kittens knocked some more stuff off the counter and broke a bottle, so I slightly Mcfucking lost it. Luckily, the bottle wasn't important, and they aren't actual human children, so doing some primal screaming in the kitchen probably won't permanently traumatize them probably.

Today has been a super mixed bag. The kittens broke the glass to a big framed print I got from my gramma before she died. It's fine without the glass, the print is only slightly scratched, the frame is still good, but cleaning up glass all over the rug wasn't a fun Monday activity.

hey train perverts wanna see the shinkansen cloaca
