The Kitten Portal has opened once again. This time we managed to get the Momma inside to deliver safely. And boy howdy was she ready. The very next morning she popped out five healthy babies. Everyone is now about a week old, has doubled in size and has a LOT of energy when it comes to mealtime.

Collage and paint illustration of an old timey saloon with a rabbit behind the bar and rabbit patrons. A large, suspicious-looking snake is at the bar, with a bottle of "Fixer Elixir". Outside we can see a wagon with a sign saying: "Dr. Squeeze-em's Fixer Elixir"

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

There are small lily pads in the water, and one gosling is in a tiny boat. Behind the sink are potted plants and a watering can that was reshaped into a small gosling house. A frog is on top of the watering can.

This picture, from the J20 inauguration protests, continues to shape how I think about public perceptions of crime and disorder in big cities.
Picture of a dozen or more photojournalists crowding around a single DC trashcan which has been tipped over, stomped on, and set on fire. There is a small wisp of flame. There are multiple people standing around peacefully nearby, but all the lenses are focused on the trashcan.

That Honey scam is wild. Paypal's tactics are so insanely malicious and aimed *squarely* at nabbing affiliate payouts from creators. If you don't adopt some form of anti-corporate or anti-capitalist sentiments after learning about it you probably aren't sentient.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
