No cat in the universe has ever loved plain steel-cut oatmeal as much as Rangi loves plain steel-cut oatmeal. I thought we might have decreased our food aggression, especially with things that cats don't usually eat, but nooooooooo. No we haven't.

I commissioned this cat portrait btw, Abi is an absolute delight to work with. 13/10 recommended for your pet portrait needs.

For those of you in need of a third book to read ...

Looking for books for Autism Acceptance Month? Oliver is an autistic necromancer written by an autistic author! He is icked out by body fluids, Has routine rigidity, Eats the same thing every morning, And much more ♾️

I stayed home alone for the entire summer when I was 16 while my family traveled in order for my 11-year-old brother to record an album.

In case anyone wonders why I haven’t migrated all my paperbacks to Ingram for sale at bookstores: This is for the sale of one paperback. I made 91 cents. It costs $10 to order a proof to make sure it’s right. I would have made $5 via Amazon. Both are predatory monopolies!! Everything sucks!!

Seeing a lot of “we went to the moon instead of funding healthcare” takes and want to note it is a false dichotomy. The US could easily do both, but the politicians and people who finance them have chosen to make Americans suffer. And they avoid paying taxes to make it harder to help Americans.

Katie has her pre-radiation CT scan on Monday. I'm equal parts relieved and nervous that she'll be starting treatment soon. Her treatment will eat up most of my savings, but it's worth it. If you'd like to help out, you can donate, and if you can't, please share this post.

"post something random or you'll have an absolutely awful April"? no. you are safe now. Forever Immunity Dog has got you covered.

Have a third-year review due Monday. Have to go over all of my student evals for the past three years. Am having a little menty B thanks to the rejection sensitive dysphoria plus extra strong avoidance. Coping mechanisms and pet pictures appreciated today.

MAKE BART THE BAT HAPPY YOU MONSTERS!

Now that everyone’s paying attention to global energy markets and effects of faraway events on prices and decision-making, is it a good time to talk about the indirect land use effects of dedicating cropland to biofuel production or nah?

Imagine the absolute scenes if the NYT had the guts to run a puff piece in favour of removing voting rights from men.

Authors! get looking! Artists, get in!!!

Cat: ARE YOU DONE WATCHING ROCKETS NOW? I WANT SNACK.

"I'd rather spend the money on" is a myth. The United States has enough money to spend a trillion dollars per year on NASA *AND* have universal healthcare and housing and free education through college for everyone. It's not either/or. It's both/and.

THAT'S OUR FIRST $1K!!! THIS PLEASES BART THE BAT. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal...

And we know that because retroreflectors were left at seven sites on the Moon by three crews of the Apollo program. We bounce light off them, and it measures Moon-Earth distance very precisely. Just something to keep in your pocket the next time you're around, y'know. One Of Those.

“Wow, I managed to write a character with an emotionally stable backstory and a good network of friends! Look at that.” Me ten minutes later: “Time to hurt him beyond measure!”

April Fools Day is CANCELED this year. We have been through ENOUGH

heyyy I would very much love a little sketch comm or something! money is very tight rn - haven't heard back from unemployment whether or not they're gonna give me anything and I could use some help getting food and gas. thank you for looking!

I've saved this one until last for a special reason, but... Late last year I fell in love with @ghargravewrites.bsky.social's books and devoured The Orchid and the Lion series, short stories and novellas. Not since AK Faulkner's books have I loved a group of characters as much as these.

Magica Riot by @magicariot.com is probably the only non-spicy book on this list 😂 Also wonderfully queer! This one might be a balm to all the trauma of previous books as it's full of fun and TRANS JOY! Magica Riot is just colourful and musical and lively in a way it needs to be.

I recently finished The Revenge of Captain Vessia by @cozywitch.bsky.social which is a nautical tale of revenge featuring a lesbian pirate vampire and surprise! A prince who is actually a princess 👀 This too is queer with a found family of crew mates and a slow burn romance.

Next is the fantastic @stevewestenra.bsky.social who I hold a lot of respect for! I recently read The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle which is horror comedy set on a mysterious Canadian island where our MC is a co-host of a cryptid YouTube show and is trying to escape an awkward situation while investigating!
