Friends, I know I haven't been here in ages, but I wanted to update my old cat twitter friends on some important news. Tomorrow (September 25, 2025), Freja will be going to her final vet appointment. Her kidneys have finally failed, and it's causing her other organs to fail too. 1/2

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025! It’s mandatory that you create some piece of sequential art — what it is and how you make it is up to you! Have fun! You might as well!

a comic. a possum is rummaging around inside a trash can. It erupts from the can holding something in its paws. “hey!” she says. She holds out the desktop calendar. “Today is June 24th! Look!” She leans on the edge of the trash can. “that means today is make a terrible comic day!” She produces a ballpoint pen from the trash and clicks it. “the idea is to just make something! no rules, just enjoy the act of creation! (Or don’t and just do it anyway)” she is drawing on the cardboard back of the calendar. “tell a story, tell a joke, make something silly or sublime or totally abstract! make something and don’t stop making it until it’s made!” She holds up her little comic with pride. “tell your inner critic to ‘fuck off!’ make a terrible comic!”

Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be. We have always been here.

This was the most stressful week or work in a couple months, really glad I got to end it with these two real life muppets. Baby bird season is a great brain cleanser. 🪶 🐣

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Thankfully, I separated my calendar contracts from my book contracts a few years ago, so I am still being paid for those, and they're a good base income. (Please preorder my 2026 calendars at eatf.art) With merch and appearance revenue, I'm gonna be okay, just uncomfortable for a couple of years.

by carefully mixing 10% cream with 1% skim milk, you can unlock forbidden milk percentages the government doesn't want you to know about, like 7.725%

Periodic reminder that over 90% of cats are not a "breed". The vast majority of longhaired tabbies are not Maine Coons. Most grey cats are not Russian Blues. Most black cats are not Bombays. They're just lovely, perfect mixed breed cats that come in all colors and coat lengths!

A flowchart that goes as follows:

"What breed is my cat?" This leads to the question "Does it have papers from a breeder?" if the answer is "yes" it leads to "It is what those papers say it is." If the answer is "no" it leads to "It is a cat."

So, I was checking my kitten cam and saw one of the black kittens loafing on the leaf of the cat tree, and two others were zooming. I was like “aw Scoots is running so fast!” Then I realized… it was SCOOTER on the tree! How the heck did he get up there!? Well, apparently we are climbing now.

Another wonderful little bird is the Slate-headed Tody-Flycatcher. You hear their chirps often, but they are so, so hard to see. A pair has a nest at @tapirvalley.bsky.social and I've been able to get some shots of them delivering food to the nestlings. #birds #costarica #nature

I don’t think people understand how powerful the impact of cognitive dissonance can be on your brain. It can make you perceive things as threats that aren’t threats. It makes you rewrite interactions to see things that aren’t there. It puts you in fight or flight mode.

The correct response to a black bear hanging around your house is to scare the shit out of it. Black bears are notoriously giant weenies and extremely easy to haze so go bang some pans together and scream profanity at them.
