Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I’ve read portal fantasies, and I’ve read stories from the point of view of cats, but I have never read a portal fantasy from the point of view of a cat. Anyway Francie has been rescued from the crawlspace and is fine after her two-day adventure.

If the only thing you have to note about the rising tide of fascism is that we have to let it rise far enough to be over someone else's head in order to stop it, I don't think your strategy is particularly good.

A friend brought over his infrared camera this evening. Francie would like you to know that she is beautiful in all spectra.

A ghostly image of a cat sitting up. She has beautiful green eyes (36.2 degrees C), an adorable black nose (21.0 degrees C), and is otherwise yellow fading through orange to purple.

it remains extremely fucked up and under-commented-upon that laws targeting trans *children* specifically are further right and more extremist than ones where children are only collateral damage we should not agree that "we'll hurt the children more" is a moderate compromise

No, you’re thinking of “spurning”. Kerning is a single seed of a grain such as corn.

That’s “burning”. Kerning is when a creature or vehicle changes the direction it is moving.

How to tell my children are different people, item #48,002: One of these bouquets was received by V for her play performance, and one by M for middle school graduation. Each was placed in a vase by its recipient. Guess which is which.

A bouquet of flowers, compressed by the purchase bag and rather squashed on one side, jammed diagonally into a vase which they are slightly too tall for.

A bouquet of flowers in a vase, neatly arranged in a pleasing round symmetrical way.

I don't know why you would get a baby monitor JUST because you have a newborn infant, it makes no sense to me at all. Sure they start small too, but lizards grow very fast, and it will probably eat your child.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Three unequivocally good things: 1. The softness, contentment, and trust of my cat when I hold her entire head in my hand and rub under her chin. 2. The moment in positive reinforcement training when the dog realizes what it is you are trying to get him to do. 3. Rainbows.

In panel 3, there are some terrifying red and flesh colored plants with toothy maws and the text says "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyl..." and in panel 4 there are some cute hearts and the text says "And so are you.
