nights are going down to freezing again... but days are still pretty warm and sunny. cool enough tho that ren has shifted into 'human hold me on your lap and swathe me in your clothing' mode and audrey has shifted to 'i love this cat heating pad in a box' mode. luna has the thickest fur coat of the three, she doesnt seem particularly bothered. then of course there's my nest of yellowjackets who are hard at work trying to protect their next generation.
the freeze overnight put a nail in the coffin on my acorn squash plants, so i went and gathered my tiny harvest of 3 squashes. i read somewhere these are called winter squash because they'll last and stay edible through winter months.
one of my furry friends is coming over tomorrow and staying for a few days - he got laid off from the gov shutdown so has a lot of spare time. it's supposed to rain (a noreaster a'comin) but maybe we'll still venture out into the woods in search of wildlife. maybe!
i've got my designs for the october sticker club out for production - running a /little/ behind because everyone is swamping this kindly printer ahead of the furcons in october. bear & beagle have been wonderful to me though and i feel very fortunate my friend rick introduced me to them!
my /other/ printer, who i was using before B&B, is still in the process of renovating their production equipment and such. WildePrints has opened a fundraiser to help mitigate some of the cost of upgrading in this very tariff-y landscape. if you have some to spare (after giving to gazans) please toss a little their way. they really enjoy what they do and what they produce!
my littlesofts backpack arrived finally!! speaking of things that were delayed/caught up with all this tariff nonsense. i picked the jackalope during the fundraiser. while not large enough to fit a full size sketchbook, it /can/ fit my ipad and smaller books. i look forward to taking it on my next adventure! i'm just honestly happy to support little softs. the founder has always meant a lot to me as a friend!!
okay, downer news now. my stepmom just got discharged from the hospital for what is sounding like COPD flaring up. she couldn't breathe, and was finding it hard to get enough oxygen into her lungs after using the bathroom to leave the bathroom. it's scary? my dad was very upset and when she was transferred from an alabama mountain hospital to a chattanooga hospital (they had better cardiac training, and her heart was in distress because her lungs were) he jumped immediately in his truck and drove there, calling me on the way to keep him company on the drive.
the sad thing is there's really no fix for it. there's nothing you can do but offer palative care for COPD. it's the result of years and years of smoking and what that does to lungs. it's kind of the end stage of every smoker who doesn't get cancer, i guess. smoking is very bad for you. don't look at my ash tray. i'm stressed, what.
i'm finding i have a lot more free time to think, plan and conceptualize leaving my phone in another room or fully at home lately. seriously considering downgrading to a flip phone like some of my friends have. also seriously considering hacking my 3ds but that's only because literally everyone on fedi has done it already and is like 'its so easy' and i feel like the only kid not trying a slice of birthday cake at a party. but also, my cartridge games still work just fine on it so i'm like, why should i take that time?
anywayyyyy. if you want to keep up with my production on comics, zines, stickers etc join the mailing list on comradery. it's free! unless you /want/ to give me money, in which case, by all means gib munny
excitedly soon the demo for Enigma Heart will drop and then everyone can see the work ive been doing for that. give it a wishlist to get notified!!!!
almost finished up my replay of phoenix wright 2, just one case to go and then its on to game 3! these games are a /great/ alternative to doomscrolling. i vastly prefer playing logic/thinking mystery cartoon court to seeing cortisol drip down a social media feed. perhaps, i am thinking, having a computer with us 24/7 thats online was a mistake.
cats are calling and my stomach is telling me i should put something in it. til next time
