this print is making me feel a little weepy

THIS THIS THIS. So many people tell me "I don't know if I really NEED a cane..." and friends, as a Certified Disabled Person (tm), I am begging you, if you think there's ANY way it might help you even a LITTLE, try it! If it helps, keep using it! You don't even have to use it all the time!

Side note: If a walking stick or cane seems like a fun accessory, I (as a disabled person who has had to use a cane from time to time) heartily encourage you to use one! And if it at all makes your life easier, I encourage you EVEN HARDER TO KEEP USING IT.

Child: Look, it's a red Mazda 3 like ours! But it has a roof rack. Me: That's sexual dimorphism. Child: Mom. Me: The rack is for carrying their young; I just don't remember which sex has it. Child: MOM STOP

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

ok so a lot of people seem confused about why people are against the "ai" thing so im gonna do a list of the problems i have with it

Since I'm wearing a different, older, face these days than I learned how to apply makeup to, so many years ago, I've decided to spend part of a day practicing how to apply the stuff. As an artist, I keep thinking things like "huh, that needs some gesso to prep the surface, now."

I have been awakened by a cough which appears to be caused by a cat hair stuck in my throat. Yay.

I got up in the middle of the night to make cinnamon toast and am back with more life advice.

On the way out to pick up Tabbie from the vet, I noticed these tiny native bees busy on my catnip plant.

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

Another TNVR cat update: today, despite rain so heavy it apparently soaked through my raincoat, I was able to trap the main breeding female of the colony. She was the only one I got that needed to go. Itsy (orange boy who went to the vet yesterday) went into the traps twice and had to be let out.

The summer tomato deluge has begun in earnest. Last week I gave away 10 to 12 pounds of them, and we ate as many. It's time to start prepping and freezing them for later use.

Going to go pick up the two street cats I took in for TNR today.

I'm weirdly finding that as I get older, it's easier to learn new skills, which is the opposite of what I thought was supposed to happen. I don't think we're giving enough credit to a lifetime of built skills. When new skills have overlap w/existing ones it greases the wheels for the new.

please check out my shop! sales weren't great this weekend and i still need to get rent paid 😰 looking for any sales at all between today and tuesday!! ko-fi.com/kflstudios/s... here's a sliver of examples of what i have up! #rentaid #shop #bsnm #rent

Grades are finalized and I managed another 4.0 semester. I am thrilled and still exhausted from a 10 credit hour 8 week summer term. Class starts again in 2 weeks. Lots to do.

15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.

One of the ferals died last night, apparently hit by a car. I buried her under the magnolia and it looks like I'm going to spend the day crying. She was very sweet and I always wished we had some way to take her in, but there are too many cats indoors already.

I was discussing with kid1 today why a Scrooge type thing wouldn't work for most of the horrible capitalist oligarchs. The whole point of Scrooge was that he wasn't always a soulless money obsessed creature. It worked because he was once, a different, kinder, person.

Medusa but her hair is an anaconda

Reminded of last summer when Spouse almost died, and they had to put him on an air ambulance to take him interstate for emergency surgery. I had no idea how we would pay. Nobody should have to worry about costs when facing death. The VA covered it, eventually. It cost more than our house is worth.

it is hard to express to someone who was not raised this way that our first thought on getting sick is not "will this treatment cure me?" but "can I get this treatment without going bankrupt???" and it is pretty fucking twisted that we are so numb to how horrifying that is

So today, since I feel like shit and can't leave the house, I'm finally using the hair color that I bought months ago and never had time to apply. Whee.

"Those who treat Omelas as a utilitarian allegory wish to view the child as a concession, a 'gotcha' moment illustrating the ethical quandary alleged to inhere in all joys and comforts. But such a reading is erroneous."

Thank y'all for the support so far! I'm now at -$130. Please share! 💛

I have asked for help quite a lot lately, and I’m sorry for that - things have been weird and hard and staying afloat has sometimes felt impossible. I’m -$160 in the red. If you buy a zine or leave a tip, it would help me so, so much - anything helps, even just shares!! 😭💛🫶🏻

I hate to ask, because things are awful all over, but there's been no help with the feral cats since the beginning of this awful year. I'm so broke I'm putting off fixing my dryer and stove, both of which are broken. It costs me about 200 a month to feed them, and there's no money for TNR at all.
