also everyone is connecting via facebook. take me out of this timeless limbo!

I'm trying to watch Mixtape on iPlayer but I keep getting thrown out of the story wondering what year it takes place in. The main jobs everyone has are in book publishing and music journalism??? There is talk of 'sabbaticals' and making £££ writing novels. Yet everyone has a smart phone?

you know how you give book recs? genuinely not trying to suck up but what is a book that is like the book of love? i had a very good time reading it. i'd like to dip out of this reality for awhile into a place of like teen drama that isn't YA. i tried to story graph it but the results were meh

this is the final resting place of joan wytte, a cornish woman known as “the fighting fairy woman of bodmin” for her association with healing practices and folk traditions

anyway. what i've learned today is that raw dog food people are the anti-vaxxers of the dog owner community

yes.

people replying being like "i've never had a single problem with what my dog eats" ok-- why are you responding? the internet sucks. i wish i wasn't disabled so i had somewhere else to fucking go.

what i didn't except was dozens of comments yelling at me that i need to feed him RAW food and the food i feed him now SUCKS and is nutritionally empty and people defensively being like "well i'm NEVER going to feed MY DOG kibble!" wtf man why are ppl like this?

i went onto a FB board i used for help when my dog was a puppy and posted about how switching him this year to a traditional dog kibble on the advice of my vet has solved his problems of having accidents inside in hopes it might help another dog owner struggling w/accidents

interesting

Pro tip from Kate: Sitting in the waiting room is much more pleasant when you're drawing weird little guys. (Please excuse the foul-mouthed clover. Kids say the darnedest things.)

I've always had mixed feelings about sensitivity readers for this reason

Hand-drawn meme of a very round lavender rabbit against a background of chaotic dots. Mangled hot-pink text below the rabbit reads "i am at my limit."

From the archives: this hand-drawn shitpost was one of Kate's first digital works when she returned to making art in 2022. For more of Kate's art check out bigchallenges.shop
