Finally have the heart to update. Nothing was helping Bruno, and we had to let him go. Doctors assume he had a stroke and was slowly declining. He left this plane surrounded by those who love him and matched his big hearted energy. We will always miss him.

Bruno, an orange and cream cat, is curled up in a bed next to me at the computer.

Bruno us cuddled up with another orange cat, Daidai.

Bruno is splayed out while lying with the other cats, toes flexing as he stretches.

Bruno is being a silly boy, laying upside down as he half flops off of a cat tree.

After a day of being quite happy but not peeing, he's back in the hospital for more catheter, more mess, and possible surgery. (They have capped his bill after the last additional extension.)

Bruno, an orange and cream cat, is happily getting scritches in his hospital kennel. He is on some good benzos.

He is home and not very happy with us (but still gave me head bumps). Needs to be under heavy supervision, so he's in my spouse's office (/the spare bedroom).

Bruno, an orange and cream colored cat is under a bed, cautiously peering out.

My buddy. They had to put the catheter back in, so he can't come home yet. He's on some additional antibiotics. We visited and got some snuggles and a lot of grumbles.

Bruno, a cream and dilute orange cat, is in someone's arms, wrapped in a blanket and wearing a cone. He is not happy about his situation.

Quick update: They've unblocked him and he doesn't seem to have any other sort of disease or infection lurking around in his insides. He still needs to be monitored a couple days and get his IV drugs and fluids, but things are looking up.

Anyone who's been around The Haunt for a while knows about our dear Old Man Cat we said goodbye to earlier this year. Well, his life was saved a decade ago by a similar procedure, otherwise I would never have known him or made that soulmate connection. If you can spare it, help a poor kitty out! 💜

Sorry I've been distant. It's been rough. One of our cats is taking a multiday stay at the ER because he can't pee and needs quite the procedure to fix it. Poor Baby Bee. This is way more money than we have on hand. If you can toss us a few dollars - please do. www.gofundme.com/f/support-br...

A small original drawing of a strawberry poison dart frog sitting on a leaf, with a semi abstract background of jungle foliage. The drawing is on cream toned paper.
The strawberry poison dart frog's skin becomes toxic, or poisonous, because of what it eats. When these frogs eat certain types of tiny mites and ants, their skin becomes harmful. They are famous for their many different colours. There are about 15 to 30 different colour patterns.

I know we're all strapped right now, but a friend of mine just got hit with an unexpected medical bill, and could use a little help if you can afford it. (And if not, that's understandable.) It's totally unfair that crowd-funding medical care has become so ubiquitous in the US, but here we are.

Taking a bit of time to be low carb. Drop some weight and get my snacking more healthy. I also have to avoid lactose. Going low carb I'd love to be indulging in a bunch of dairy, but alas- But today it hit me that I can use lactose free carbmaster yogurt to make frozen yogurt and life is brighter.

Two wooden dolls with wire arms and legs sit on top of a vert dusty tool box. They have green colored plumbers putty sculpted onto them to give basic faces and hair. One has horns. How they sit they look as if they might be having a picnic or are loitering outside a gas station.

Look at this fancy fucker. It’s a great blue heron standing in a narrow-leafed tree, beak down, ass up, knees bent, feathers stuck out all ostentatiously. Plus he’s got an eye mask of feathers sticking out like a superhero mask. This is a fuckboy heron, a real preening peacock of a heron. He’s here to be seen. He’s here for the paparazzi. He’s here to do molly and microdose mushrooms and Ozempic and if you do not give him the attention he demands he’ll spear out your eye with that long sharp beak and bounce. Or flounce. He’ll flouncily bounce? Whatever. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

Some day I'll get all these trip photos up. :× Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona.

Scrubby trees curtain the colorful plateaus, bits of green in browns and purples.

Standing at the ledge, red dirt, the landscape expands out to forever - only buildings a couple of far off camps.

A Pueblo-style building (museum? Visitor center? Can't remember) is mid way between the camera and a large hill in the distance.

Looking down from a high cliff, more hills and plateaus stretch off to the horizon.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

Tristan Kern de Gonzales
