Gonna have a pile of these babies with me at Howloween in a couple of weeks!

With any luck, US shipping will settle down and I can have these babies ready to head south soon, too!

Me, watching the tracking on this package to make sure it arrives tariff-free so I can get back to Business as Usual.

We don't have much time left with Sadie, so I'll be doing what I can to work on projects/prep/coms that let me stay near and spend time with her for the next few days.

Doodles from post-thanksgiving dinner
- fussing with Zed's hair design. bird poofs are hard
- @apoxon.bsky.social sent me a photo of my nephew and I had to doodle him
- black squirrels are rampant in my grandparents' birdfeeders, the cute invasive bastards,,,

Pencil headshots of Zed, the bearded vulture lady. The left is her in a flustered state, blushing and puffing her feathers. The right is a standard face, smoothed out.

A big thank you to folks for their patience as I've been slow to respond to emails/messages; it has been an incredibly rough week over here as I try to keep it together and still get (some) work done.

Anticipatory grief hits me just as hard as actual grief, apparently.

Took her to the vet today for a QoL and pain management consultation.

The bad news: She's old as heck and at some point soon-ish, there will no longer be a good balance of QoL and pain meds, and we will have to say goodbye.

The good news: Today is not that day.

Uuugh
Yup
Their brokers have started charging a MASSIVE flat fee on top of the tariffs :V
Nobody knows wtf is going on.
Our local shop has been trying to dissuade folks from shipping to the US through them because of all the surprise charges :V

Apoxon @apoxonindustries.bsky.social · 6d

Oooh!!! Heck yeah!
This combo looks rad as heck!!!

She's 19!
We've had her on a pain and kidney management plan for a few years now, and up until recently, it was working quite well. We're not sure if she pulled something the other day, or if her arthritis has just progressed too far :(

Apoxon @apoxonindustries.bsky.social · 7d

Trying to function today as I worry about our ancient cat's failing health.

OGs will know she's been an integral part of the business for nearly two decades, so while this isn't a surprise, it's still incredibly difficult.

An all-time favourite of y'all: my take on "Ophelia". Seeing how old this piece is (it's been effin' 14 years already ...) there is a lot I would do differeynt today, but I think it doesn't take away of the impact this picture has.

Painting of a female red tabby anthro cat, mostly suspended in water. Her mouth is open, her eyes stare blankly out of the picture. Her palms are raised out of if the water in a gesture quoting the "Ophelia" painting by John Millais. Different flowers float next to her on the water's surface. While the rest of the image is rendered rather realistically, her hair underwater is way more stylized, with golden strains interwoven into it.

Canada Post's tariff rate (prepay, via Zonos) is what the actual rate is supposed to be, at 35%, but we'll have to wait until either their strike ends, or the SC rules the tariffs are illegal and removes them, before I enable US shipping in the shop again.

Apoxon @apoxonindustries.bsky.social · 14d

I can still ship within Canada and internationally, via ChitChats.

I *can* ship to the US right now. HOWEVER! For reasons I cannot fathom, tariff rates vary by carrier.

Chitchats' tariff rate (prepay): 40%
UPS's tariff rate (on delivery): between 60% and 88%

Apoxon @apoxonindustries.bsky.social · 18d

As a heads up to non-US folks with open orders, our postal service is on strike.

We 100% support the workers (our national postal service should be treated as a service and funded as such), but unfortunately, shipping has been paused for the time being.

Paris Marx @parismarx.com · 21d

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.
