This is Crispy, the resident, mostly-feral cat here at HQ. He mostly lives on the roof of the building next to us and under the stairs up to the Careful Kitty office above @thefloatingbookshop.com He’s a very careful kitty, and doesn’t have much use for people, unless you’ve got some good kibble.

About 17 years ago I picked up Kazimir Strzepek’s The Mourning Star at @thebeguiling.bsky.social. Tonight I read it for the first time in a long time & am once again blown away by it. It’s epic & sad & funny & the cartooning is top notch. Gonna have to dig out my copy of the second volume now.
