How is a Formula 1 race trending as "Terry Pratchett"? This makes no sense.

NANCY’S CATURDAY

I love when random trends show up, like today is World Goth Day. Much love to my friends whose clothing never shows spaghetti stains and who keep the sunblock market going.

My cacti are saying, "Look at me! I'm so PRETTY!" I love me a spring time cactus bloom. Oh yes, and I did make the glass objects in the potting soil. I don't have to worry about losing my marbles because I know how to make more.

It's one thing to draw real people in your comix. It's another to draw the same real person the second time, the third time and so on so that the drawing actually looks like the real person. It's bad enough with my fictional characters. It's a whole 'nother level with a real person.

It has started, as have the mistakes and chemistry experiments. Both the Sailor ink and the India ink are very water soluble, so I got White Out, correction tape, and Sharpies. I put in an order for archival waterproof ink with JetPens. In the interim, I correct and do the pencil work.

I purchased comic book paper and ascertained that the size is called "DC Bristol size". I spent yesterday figuring out what pen to use (fountain pen). Am now overthinking starting to put the draft first chapter down on my fancy pants paper. What's the artistic version of stage fright?

It was like doing a homework assignment. Too many governor candidates and most of them couldn't be arsed to pick a party at all.

The six genders! top bottom up down strangeness charm Also do double duty as quarks.

Caturday! I bring you Patience in a box. Went to play boardgames with friends, play with their new cat and kitten and pay homage to the elegant Cat With Seniority, who graced us with her presence and occupied the box the game came in.

Makes sense. "Have you SEEN the traffic on the bridge?"

Today is sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday and to celebrate, here is the greates collaboration between Attenborough and Nature, the Lyrebird. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB7...

It's not just cats.

Insert the usual Star Wars joke here.

My friends adopted two new cats. One is a momcat, who was calmly sitting behind me and the other is her son, who was sitting in front of me, all curious.

Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice and Grogu.

BIG BUNNY

I need to finish that slide presentation, just had "group" in Zoom, and want to write more of my graphic novel and I feel like this bunny right now.

Here’s a video of the Shinjuku cat:

St. Louis is being attacked by a giant avocado.

One of the characters in my embryonic graphic novel is Navajo, so I've been reading, using maps, watching videos, and so on do do right by him and his friends. One Navajo language website has a critical phrase: Sitsin naaʼeeł dah nahaleʼí naʼashǫ́ʼii łóóʼ biiʼ hadeezbin

This is a very dangerous time of year for people like me. There are multiple plant sales going on. I still have two rather expensive things in pots awaiting a destination and I can't pick up more plants until those are in the ground. I'm twitching right now.

The #PerfectDate

It's overcast this morning and we're off to a slow start on Caturday.

OMG why does downloading a file into "my files" into an iPad take so much work? Jesus Christ. What the fuck.

Today is George Takei's birthday! It's OKAY to be TAKEI!!

😎 4/20 greetings from New York Fucking City 😵‍💫

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Happy 80th to Tim Curry!

Reason 1 million why Oakland is awesome. A musician gave a talk on Arabic music to a diverse room of people, including a gentleman wearing a kippah made with a fabric that has musical instruments printed on it. Music unites us. Being in Oakland unites us. This was at the library. Also awesome.

Too lazy to take a photo of my cat, so here are Sluggo's cats for #Caturday.

I'm looking forward to the day when I don't see distopian science fiction presented as fact.

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865) "Cheers" September 30, 1982, to May 20, 1993

#BookSky #Botany - decided to treat (treet?) myself to a new book, "The Hidden Life of Trees". Wow. What a visual treat and full of interesting details about trees and nature.

Most of the time, it looks like a space alien made of spite and slappy green paddles, but in the spring, a cactus says, "I'm SO PRETTY!!!"

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

JD Vance needs to be excommunicated.

www.tomorrowspapers.co.uk/daily-star-f... Genius. Just genius.

Hah. I like to play a word puzzle called "quotefall" and today's quoted author is @cstross.bsky.social

Three of the top trending topics right now are about women's basketball. Remember that and hold some joy.

Anyone else hear a note?

So, in my work on my manga/comix/graphic novel(?), I find myself spending time doing stuff like looking up the dimensions of a 2016 Ford Explorer, terminology for swimming, conference tables... This is so weird.

It's 66° in the house, but Her Highness is freezing to death, so I indulge her. #Caturday Don't worry, she's right under my feet and that no one is in danger of igniting right now.

How do you say, "Feck off!" in Octopus?

I'm trying to teach myself how to do a graphic novel/comix/manga/whatever. So, I read some web pages that look reasonable and now have an outline for just 8 pages (chapter 1). The outline is 276 lines. Holy shit.
