A plea to all you wonderful folks who are thinking to adopt (not buy) a dog or cat… The shelters are FILLED with animals who’ve been surrendered. Yesterday they had a bed and a family and now they are confused and terrified through no fault of their own. Consider giving them a next chapter.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Spent some time this morning drawing a raven. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Art. Black and white drawing made of abstract shapes and lines showing a raven or crow in flight. It's wing is above it, caught mid-flap, and it's feet trail beneath it. It's eye is fixed ahead, looking at the horizon and the future.

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Even your Forgotten Realms lawyers know every day is shut the fuck up Friday.
He'd gone to the Helm & Cloak tavern for a drink after a miserable day on the magistrate's bench. The main case had been three hunters brought up for poaching deer from a noble estate. It was an open-and-shut case. The poachers had freely admitted it, saying that there were plenty of deer, and the nobles obviously weren't using them, so what was the harm? Their legal counsel had first tried frantically to shush them, then tried to argue that they were speaking in the abstract, then finally sat with her head in her hands, her shoulders slumped in de-spair.
The penalty for poaching was death. Specifically, hanging.

Put on some nice clothes but then looked out the window and immediately felt like a man of slovenly appearance.
A male mandarin duck who gets off purely on being mean who saw that I had put on the one nice outfit I own for one of the most important evenings of my life and decided to sartorially annihilate me, even though, due to having no friends, it had planned to do nothing all evening but hang out on this shit rusty metal railing staring at its own reflection in a window. Incidentally, later this would become the cover shot for my unsuccessful rustic synth-based confessional 1983 solo LP 'Mandarin Duck Outside My Window'.
