Taxes done. Ugh. I've been slogging through TurboTax for years (when I couldn't find a CPA), and just heard of FreeTaxUSA this year. Lives up to its dorky name, and was breezy to file even with my fairly complicated self-employed setup. #adulttalk #motherfuckingtaxes

wtfffff

fiddleheads definitely inspired h.r. giger 😱

I can't resist maniacally laughing and pointing whenever I see one of these on the road. They still look like pre-rendered minecraft accidents that cause a reality distortion field.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

They should have to carry their own gas, bag heir own lunch and piss in bottles wherever they go. And no one should pass them on a street without reminding them that every last one is masked and gutless fascist trash.

Another year, another disgusting water filter replacement.

I was preparing for Trubble Club from a very early age.

Hazel's contribution to our laundry room remodel.

Keep it together: CAKE is a month away.

From a series of drawings of animals taking over public spaces during the first COVID lockdowns. I totally forgot I did these time lapse videos.

The complete ‘Project 2025’ comic is up over on my blog. Thanks for reading - www.joshuawcotter.com/words

I think our 38-year-old rhododendron has graduated to tree.

This sweet reversible butt potato is so good the cashier asked to take a photo of it.

The tulip poplar dropped Carl a flower. Also peak Carl in 2017.

I've been posting some musty deep cut questionable comic shorts to my site lately, including this ink spill for @anniefish.bsky.social which *fully* explores the genius of SLIDERS natebeaty.com/comics/sliders

OMG Alaska Robotics Mini-con is a month away.

My parents were already divorced when my dad died. We three kids received survivor's benefits. My sister, who has Down Syndrome, also receives disability. I wrote about family's experiences with Social Security here: michaelianblack.substack.com/p/safe-footing

I set up a Con-Mon Bluesky bot account to get a heads up on registration deadlines and upcoming conventions: @con-mon.bsky.social

I simultaneously want and don't want this amazing skateboarding ninja youtube show to be picked up by one of the streaming platforms to be fleshed out more. It's the skating dopamine hit equivalent of the British Bake Off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=avPw...

Nobody was able to send viewers into a dreamlike spell like Lynch. Ages ago I did a comic for SPX2002 about Jack Nance, which has some pretty hilarious young Lynch cameos in his floppy hat. natebeaty.com/comics/nance

My phone screen just got hacked by a tiny piece of potato.

Don't forget to change your water filter 🤢

Fox News: "The Onion has 4.3 trillion daily readers."

I guess pumpkin guts were a poor choice for the compost.

Mankind.

I've been on a muffin kick lately. Muffins seem to help the pain. Chocolate chip, blueberry rhubarb, apple bran, ginger spice.

These lasted about 2 days in an 80º North Carolina October. Remember October? 😅

Early voted in NC for Kamala: Fuck Trump! Ugh. How we are not nation-wide unanimous after so many years of seeing firsthand what a garbage human he is will never cease to baffle me.

Illustration for Willy Vlautin's novella Kill Switch. I'm such a sucker for drawings with puddles.

@tugboatcity.bsky.social happy birthday to my favorite dance partner

Cool bug alert! North American wheel bug, a species of large assassin bug, is camouflaged and very shy, hiding whenever possible. The proboscis arises from the anterior and unfolds forward when feeding. They have two scent glands that can be ejected from the abdomen when disturbed. #hotbugs

The light really changed in the 40 minutes it took me to excavate this ancient grill.

Which version do you prefer?

Libraries and librarians are under attack in so many place in so many ways and I wanted to do something, so I made this image in support of them. You can download it or print it up to let folks know you support your libraries! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Backyard shot from the roof. Spring is just starting to kick in. Hellebore, forsythia, redbud and euphorbia are happy. Aucuba = still meh but it was planted on what was a gravel drive when we moved in. Currently spreading a huge ChipDrop pile while huffing mold spores. #lifeonmudcreek
