Naked and Afraid of Long COVID I started thinking of my long COVID as a survival reality show.

Terrific comic by Bryn Adams mixes having long Covid with the survival show Naked and Afraid. Good reminder of why I keep masking and update my vaccine next week. www.crucialcomix.com/comic/naked-... Thanks to @crucialcomix.bsky.social for publishing this! #zines #medicalcomics #longcovid

Just saw your incredible segment on the PBS series Bugs that Rule the World. Riveting! Hope you'll post more on Bluesky. (For those who haven't seen it, check out episode 1 about 26 minutes in.)

Female bullfrog in sun on stone pond edge. Her ear is the same size as her eye.

Male bullfrog also on stone pond edge, looking out into the water. His "ear" is bigger than his eye.

These are two American Bullfrogs sunning on the edge of my pond. We call them Binkette and Binkie. Notice the green "hubba hubba" faces. It's nearly time for the frogs to start singing and mating! #frogs #wildlifegardening

Comic showing a couple explaining to their mother/mother-in-law, "We're sorry, but our bosses just demanded that we come back to the office in Seattle / DC even though they don't have enough desks or parking ... or hearts." The grandmother looks distressed. In the next panel, the grandmother says, "But you moved here to take care of me! And so little Freddy could have a yard and good schools!" Little Freddy says "What about my friends? And the team? And our basketball tickets?" The mom and dad say, "We're sorry." There is a dog and cat under the kitchen  table, and a Home Sweet Home embroidery framed and askew on the wall behind them. Original cartoon by Linda Watson (me).

Relocation blues. Oh, the ripple effects we are about to see!

Just heartbreaking. And we are going to see / experience so many consequences of the New Cruelty ahead.

Snow covers my wildlife garden, making the branches of the coastal redwood and the limbs of the dogwood stand out. In the foreground, a water feature with snow-covered rocks and carnivorous plants. Mood: early morning peace.

Sunny snow scene with a black dog racing down a sledding hill and several kids with snow saucers and sleds. Looks fun!

When the sun came up, the kids and dogs came out! I'm lucky to be able to see the neighborhood sledding street from my window.

Composed photo of a person (me) in a puffy magenta sleeping bag sleeping in a bright yellow closet. All you can see of the person is her hand on a white teddy bear on the closet shelf next to her. The closet is otherwise empty except for a set of keys on the shelf above and embroidered shoes below. Mood: mysterious and either bleak or cozy.

Cartoon of a lattice-work pie, with the stages of making a vegan Thanksgiving dinner on each square of crust, from thinking about the menu to making a seitan roast to being thankful with my husband after dinner.

Here's the true story of how I made Thanksgiving dinner.

Medium-sized woodpecker hanging on the the rim of a glass birdbath, looking up. The bird has a bright-red patch on the back of the head and beautiful black wings with white spots.

I've never seen a red-bellied woodpecker visit a birdbath like this before. What a beautiful world.
