Horrible horse for a horrible new year...

So the first time I really catch up on the news in the new year...we've...kidnapped a foreign leader...

Last day for pottery! I'll be closing the shop tomorrow. Still some frog bowls and leopard geckos waiting for you.

No one: Apple: What is we made EVERYTHING harder to see?

First time the isopod lidded tumblers are for sale - finally managed to get the glazing and lid to work the way I wanted (glazed inside, isopods standing out on top) www.sarahwithtea.com/shop/blue-ro...

Opening the online pottery shop for a few days with some frog mugs and bowls, some geckos and a very few special bird things. Only keeping the shop open for a few days so I can get everything off in the mail before taking a break for the holidays - shop till Friday Dec 12! sarahwithtea.com/shop

My Thanksgiving leftovers are chanterelle mushrooms, manchego cheese, and the extra pumpkin pie I hid until the guests left.

Big group text talking about post Thanksgiving dessert after party and me just watching the texts like 'am I the only one that needs a nap?'

Yet another Sunday evening spent thinking 'what the fuck is wrong with Chuck Schumer'.

Sort of glad we finished the tariffs comic before we had to explain about other countries stopping the ACTUAL MAIL because of how unclear the tariffs are. (Also here is a comic about tariffs and their many problems that @kbspangler.com and I made)

In case anyone is wondering, yes I still log into Bluesky, read roughly 5 posts, and scream inarticulately at the sky.

Gonna draw something...yeah...something...on stream - twitch.tv/sarahwithtea

That feeling when you were ABOUT to go to bed but you checked Bluesky and now you have to spent 30 minutes getting to the bottom of why the same text layout with slightly different typography and a different yellow shape behind it is 'woke'.

I did make pancakes for dinner.

I had believed Civet had been rejected as a mascot. My joy at getting a 'this page needs a civet' message was profound. Gaze upon his wee little bow tie and rejoice.

You best believe I was prepared to provide ALL the civix civet poses imaginable.

The good news is if people enjoy this explainer and want to support it, @sarahwithtea.bsky.social have done the math and we can put together a new one every quarter, for four of these a year. And if we don't meet goal? Well, you can still throw the Civix Civet into your online tariff arguments.

K.B. just asked why I did something in this comic and I basically just shouted back BECAUSE FEELINGS.

Just here, taking my anxiety meds and working on pottery.

If you need some joy today, I'm gonna try to put a clay weasel on a clay vase. twitch.tv/sarahwithtea
