look at this marshmallow. this little pierogi

something nicer, though: “double cattin’ it” is my household phrase for petting them both at the same time, two-handed

had a scary flare up of symptoms this week, think I’m gonna be ok, but: ok, this is bullshit. I hate living in this terror zone with my body threatening to betray me. I hate cultivating a quiet inner resilience about this instead of just being a lil nerd goofing around drawing funny pictures!

Very specific gripe: man, does it bug me how the standard Well, Actually response to the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid" is pointing out the poison drink at Jonestown was actually "Flavor-Aid" brand...when, more importantly, well, actually, a lot of them were forced to drink it against their will

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

Felt like this was calling to me to rescue it from the thrift store for $1.99. Does COMPUTERS FOR KIDS (1981) have some wise words for 2026? Well, maybe.

I reread Dungeon Meshi this week, and it really is one of my all-time favorites. it just radiates this sense of joy in drawing and characters and coming up with cool ideas and Getting Weird. consistently great start-to-finish.

ok, comics & art gang with our own websites, how are we handling the fact that wordpress 7.0 (releases tomorrow) adds built-in ai capabilities? I don’t like the idea of this being there under the hood even if you never enable it, and I’ve been thinking for a while about breaking up with it…

If you’re also furious about AI data centres being built in the middle of Vancouver you can tell the City exactly what you think by writing an objection to the rezoning application here www.shapeyourcity.ca/111-e-5

due to a ridiculous combination of factors* over the past several hell years I've lost most of my music collection...and maybe my fate is on the horizon that, in rebuilding it, I should become a vinyl collecting record player guy. i definitely don't have money for this, but it's...calling

environmental storytelling: just saw a copy of the book The Joy Of Sex haphazardly left on the ground next to a dumpster

she was very brave at the vet today

the cats have needed a ton of vet care in the past couple years (and i'm about to wrangle Luna into her carrier for another appointment.) it's getting expensive, and sometimes I think "I'd save so much money not having cats", and then immediately think "...save for WHAT, a life I don't want?"

currently have a lot of complicated feelings that I know I should be working out in, like, therapy or something. and, while i'm not really doing that, i also sort of feel maybe I've earned myself a little treat for how much I *haven't* been working it out via Posting

ah, living the good life (being a little cat under her favorite throw blanket)

Misheard someone asking the bus driver “do you stop at MacDonald?” (street) as maybe the most perfectly goofy thing anyone could ask the bus driver, Can You Stop At McDonalds. rolling up to the drive thru and everyone’s shouting out orders for fries and shakes

every year I find myself thinking like “what’s my problemmm, I shouldn’t be depressed when it’s a beautiful spring and/or summer day”, and no, you fool, this is an observable pattern. it’s the juxtaposition of a bright and joyful world outside casting your lowest feelings into harsh relief, dumbass

also definitely gonna remember this as the year I postponed making a cute post about The Cats’ Birthday for several hours due to the us president threatening crimes against humanity on a massive scale. what the fuck

It’s Rose and Luna’s birthday, and my sweet girls are TEN. thank you for a decade together, babies. I’m so glad I got to bring you home and be your person.

this past year I've been enjoying setting up a cute retro media cabinet at home with non-smart TV, physical media, old nintendos, etc... and occasionally for this I'll stop into a store like a best buy for cables or something, and it's like a bizarre marketing shrine to all the bullshit I don't want

I hate AI so much. So. Much. Please stop trying to make me use AI. I will never use your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your Grok 🤮 I will die on this hill. It is unethical. It is error prone. It is predatory. It is destroying us. I hate it. I hate it all. I will hate it forever.

"...like I'm Galadriel in the elf realm of Lothlórien", thinks unremarkable woman switching on three strings of IKEA fairy lights in dimly lit apartment

I need to do some spring cleaning, but Luna has been obsessed with being in my lap all day. a perfect little curled up circle girl.

my cats got this toy for christmas that looks like a can of orange crush but says “mice”, and you know what, it’s still funny to me every time I see it

I've decided it's Monster Movie Easter in this house. Just watched The Thing, and Tremors, now considering Alien... and also considering that maybe my favorite genre is just regular-ish working people in a distinctive isolated location trying to problem-solve what's up with a disgusting new horror

just saw some store promotion for "Cyber Easter", and...look, I get it, I get the urge to do another holiday sales event like black friday and boxing day, but I think this one's underestimating how much it sounds like something fairly wild happening with jesus on the cross

I’ve gotten harassment from strangers in public far more times for wearing face masks than for being gay. calculating this with a bunch of equations on a chalkboard against how I tend to only “read” visibly gay to random people if i’m with a date/partner, a smaller % of my time out in the world

I’m going to need to move them to vacuum the couch. however. they do make a convincing argument otherwise

cuddling with both cats in my circle-shaped armchair, and at least for this moment life is okay

welp, guess I'm navigating the biggest Well, Now What? of my life after like 5 years basically stuck as injured Bart who couldn't join my friends in the metaphorical swimming pool. I'm finally doing better for real, I think, and...now what? do I even know how to be queen of summertime anymore

Once again,

I have been both Okay and Not Okay for so long (on a personal level, though of course the state of things in the bigger picture affects everything), and I feel like I never know how to express this so mostly I don't? until I have a day where I can't not spew out a little post like this in public

I've been obsessed with this game since Episode 1, which I backed on Kickstarter as a big fan of Abby Howard's horror comics. It's really something special, and the sheer amount of detailed hand-drawn art and wildly different possible story paths to take is ridiculous. Can't wait for ep 5 part 2!

what the fuck, what the fuck, it’s like every day this year there’s something new in the running for the most evil things i’ve ever heard of

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

So, I made new year 2026 cards! I held off on posting this until most of the people i personally gave/sent one to got to see it in print. 3 ink Risograph print on brown kraft, and this is my mood going into the year: yeah, older and sort of broken, but stubborn as hell about resilience and repair

hi, girls

I got Hades 2 for christmas, so that's what I'm obsessed with this week. It's really good! And you know what, if you were to guess my favorite boss fight in this just based on what my general deal is, you'd probably be right

once again spent all week adoring the christmas boy

good news for christmas, my family got me this photo of the cats in mug form!

Merry Christmas from my parents house in my hometown, I woke up from a dream where a female friend from high school was pregnant and I wasn’t sure if it was mine

holiday miracle, my sister managed to find the unsettling half-remembered 1930s cartoon that somehow defeated our attempts to identify it for years

Some thoughts on some things I've been dealing with lately. 1/6

I remember this post, it inspired me to mock up my hypothetical impression of "Ski or Don't". I think it's only fair for virtual winter sports enthusiasts to have the option of hanging out in the lodge all afternoon, too.

ha ha, I'm happy to see Geomaquarium going around again! R.I.P. to my old twitter with its original fun thread with lots of people discussing this aesthetic and era of games

Hi! I’m Kathleen, a designer and cartoonist from Vancouver. I haven’t been actively making comics the past few years due to some ongoing health problems, but you can read almost 300 pages of my goofy, gay, silently musical comic series Band Vs Band at bvbcomix.com

a cozy girl

I moved these stools to vacuum the floor, so of course now begins the rivalry of the wizards atop their towers

one of the worst things about The Algorithms and everything trying to use personalized data is like. oh, you have anxiety or OCD around certain topics? Cool, cool, heard those are your Interests. you love to see and engage with your interests, right

Luna is sick (poor baby, I’ve called the vet), and it’s so cute that she went and curled up next to her sister on purpose. She’s usually more of an independent type who likes the other cat to give her a little space.
