My friend Dave, his wife Jen & their feline friends are currently living in their car & could do with any help people are able to give:
Their GFM can be found here:

gofund.me/8a801e14

Their latest GFM reads:
“My husband and I along with all our fur babies are in dire need of car brakes and general maintenance. We are all living in our car. Any funds earned will be used for fixing our car and taking care of all our cats. We appreciate all the help given prior for our storage unit. That has given us some piece of mind during these trying times. Still waiting for SSI approval which could take some time. Thank you for all the help it truly means a lot.”

Wee one has been home sick most of the last two weeks but will be returning to kindergarten tomorrow.

+it’s remarqued:

I’m on day 18 on my “1 book reel/day until Halloween” and it seems aging protagonists might win.

Today’s question on IG:
Psychos vs aging protagonists

Aging protagonists are winning thus far and I’m not unhappy with that

generalsheenanigans @sheenalouisef.bsky.social · 1d

You guys packaged it so well😊

Sometimes #SookieTheFarmCat has other plans than letting me read in peace

Tuxedo cat stands on my chest because f*ck my reading, that’s why

Bookmail pt. 1 of 3:
Dwellers by Eliza Victoria (who’s become one of my favorite Filipina authors). Can’t wait to read this.
-illustrated by Aldy Aguirre
#booksky

The book: www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

Back of the book reads:
“Body jumpers are living among us…
Rule no.1: Don’t kill the body you inhabit.
Rule no.2: Never mention your previous name
Rule no.3: Never talk about your previous life. Ever.”

One of the interior illustrations show a house and surrounding seen from above and the text reads: “a strange house in a strange city”

Me @ Graham:

Good thing I got a new job so that I can pick up more silk for the latest @nepenthepress.bsky.social arrival

Me informing Graham that I want him to make me another traycase

Only dust and my cellar mascot

generalsheenanigans @sheenalouisef.bsky.social · 2d

That must be it 😂

#SookieTheFarmCat is sitting in front of the cellar door again, staring down into the very, very dark cellar. I can only reasonably assume she’s looking at the same ghost Else would laugh at as a baby.. this doesn’t tap into my childhood fear of cellars at all..

Tuxedo cat has been sitting in front of the cat opening leading down to the cellar for an unreasonable length of time..

So. That specialization job in psych I impulsively sent an application for the day before the deadline.. I got it.

I knew before they sent me the official mail because my former boss was my reference and called and said they’d stated they’d be offering me the position 😂

I can never quite guess which books my mom will be interested in or not. She’s currently enjoying TF out of one of the absolutely most “lolwut wtf” books I’ve ever read.

Graham: “I’m going to have to make another cat cake, aren’t I?”

-the youngest loves cats

Esther does lovely work (and is a wonderful person as well).

generalsheenanigans @sheenalouisef.bsky.social · 4d

Good.

generalsheenanigans @sheenalouisef.bsky.social · 5d

She certainly found it funny. Became even funnier for her when Graham asked again and she said “farts”

generalsheenanigans @sheenalouisef.bsky.social · 5d

Graham asked the almost 4 y.o what they want to eat today.

They said “a*se”..

Charming kids.

Art mail!
Another Esther Sarto for our collection: “Chalcosoma Complexus” (ltd edition print). She also wrote me a lovely letter behind this print of “urchin child” (which I also want to get framed).

Chalcosoma Complexus: a ltd edition print of one of Esther Sarto’s latest pieces. See closeup on the next photo

Two humanoid figures are curled up facing each other in the bug’s body.

Urchin Child. The other side is a lovely letter from the artist

Closeup of Urchin Child: a child seems to be hiding within the cracked urchin shell

I’m reminded of one of Graham’s professors. There was this yearly award for the best lecturer and he’d always nominate himself. Spoiler: he was terrible

Jeff VanderMeer @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 6d

generally, as someone who has served on 11 awards juries... if you put yourself forward for an award... you are unlikely to get it...
