No way! I saw the first firefly of the summer down here in Texas tonight!

Tonight as I walked with the dog, a firefly landed on my arm...

My DD was going through her 2024 predictions she made on January 1, 2024 during NYE with me and one of hers was to write a story... So I asked if she had done that and she said she hadn't finished any because keeps starting them but not getting far because then she gets a new idea and I laughed and laughed and showed her my Good Omens Fan Fic WIP folder...

I didn't show her my OG writing folder full of other folders of started and never finished stories... No one needs *that* sort of discouragement. 🤦‍♀️

Any tips for being a suicidal 15 year old?

When I was a suicidal 15 year old everyone told me “it gets better”, and it sounded like bullshit. And frankly, it still sounds like bullshit. Like oh, what, I’m living in hell and you’re not gonna help me or *do* anything or give me any useful advice and I’m supposed to just hang in there on the nebulous, pithy promise that things are just gonna work out on their own? And you can’t tell me how or why, I’m just supposed to take it on the faith that I don’t have that something might change in ways I haven’t considered?

But yeah. It does. And it’s frustrating as hell.

Yes, things are gonna get better, and they’re gonna get better in ways I can’t describe even after experiencing it myself. Things you don’t even know CAN be different WILL be different. One day you’re just going to step outside and realize things got better somewhere and you didn’t even notice it happening.

And there’s really nothing I can say that makes that sound even a little bit believable.

I guess all I can tell you is that you have to want to believe it.

I recently watched Puss in boots: the last wish (I know, I’m late to the party) and really liked this dialogue :)

(I also wanted an excuse to practice lineless art again :])

I think a lot of the time, when you write what you don't know, you find out that actually you do know some of it, too. Like, maybe you've never been the last person alive on a planet, but you know loneliness, you know grief. You've never fought a fire-breathing dragon, but you've been scared before.

....and maybe you've never had to deliver the antichrist to a nunnery, but you've probably been given a shit task by a hellish boss

Dear Mr Gaiman,

You produce great literature from a wide variety of perspectives. I'm curious how you manage to really get into people's shoes and write about something you've never experienced before, experienced by someone who you will never/can never be?

I hope this isn't a very loaded question, I'm just very curious. Many authors write what they know and say "Write what you know" which I find to be sensible advice, but writing what you DON'T know also often produces great results but seems to be a bit trickier.

Best,

Vik

You ask questions and talk to people, research and imagine.

"Write what you know" isn't "Only write what you already know".

Hi! Wanted to ask, is there any particular breed of cat in your shelter that tends to be adopted quickly? Are there cats that seem to be more difficult to adopt out?

Yeah, sphynxes tend to be adopted out super quick. I'm surprised we still have Peach and Finn--- I knew we'd have them for a while because we were treating Finn's FIP, but I didn't expect to STILL have them. We usually have a list of people looking for sphynxes, but all of the people on the list are only looking for ONE cat, not two.

So bonded pairs are more difficult to adopt out, unless they are tiny baby kittens.

tbh, a lot of pedigreed cats get adopted out relatively quickly due to the whole 'we have a list of people looking for this exact breed' thing. Like I've already got people asking about Persephone just because they want a bengal and don't mind working with her severe fears. I'm not complaining about that, exactly. Some part of me feels some kind of way about that but I try not to let it bother me too much.

Domestic shorthairs are the hardest to adopt out (medium haired cats are the most popular of the non-pedigreed cats; longhaired cats are slightly less popular but still pretty desirable). People are well aware that they can get a moggie anywhere. I can swear up and down that my moggies are special (because they are), but so is every cat. Can't really argue with that.

Cats that are a bit 'generic' don't get adopted as quickly. Short haired tabbies and solid blacks are the slowest to get adopted. People want something that looks more 'interesting'. I teach my 'less desirable' cats little tricks to make them more adoptable and it tends to work.

Cats with visible, but not super work intensive, disabilities get adopted pretty quickly. Cats with one eye or three legs are fairly popular. People always think 'ohh no one will want this one', but they're wrong. Everyone loves a nice disabled kitty, so a short-haired tabby with three legs or one eye will be adopted pretty quick.

Fully blind or deaf cats are less popular, but there's generally still a list of people looking for that. Blindness is more 'adoptable' than deafness.

Cats with invisible disabilities or medical needs are the slowest of all to be adopted. Like diabetes or something similar. If a cat has an ongoing medical need that could be expensive, that cat is going to be with us for a while.

Please read by opening each image, otherwise it makes no sense lol

This is the most stupid thing I've done all year but I was already too far into it when I started regretting it XD

I don't usually do this kind of thing but the concept had been rotating in my mind for a few weeks and I needed to get it out

I have a few ideas but this was already long enough and it felt like a good spot to cut it off, buut I want to see if people like it so 👉👈 hope you enjoyed it

Sorry if it feels a bit weird, I may be able to draw but not write lol, this is my first actual attempt at making a comic
