We are CLOSED today. Pickles is going to need some help crossing the rainbow bridge. If it rains today, that's just how much I've been crying.

Teeth good, stomach good, liver ok, kidneys good. Turns out Pickles is just hateful and dramatic. She gets an anti anxiety appetite stimulant now. Still have to keep on top of her eating for next few days. See y’all Sunday!

Artefaktual Comics @artefaktual.bsky.social · Jul 23

Continued thoughts and prayers for Pickles. We continue to be CLOSED THIS WEEK to spend quality time with her. I believe she has an infection in her mouth. But today she ate 2/3 of a Churu and got the other 1/3 on me. Progress. Vet apt. tomorrow. 🙏

Artefaktual Comics @artefaktual.bsky.social · Jul 22

We’ll be CLOSED TILL SUNDAY (Game Day) this week. Pickles isn’t doing well; she hasn’t eaten in the past 2 days. I’m going to work from home, catch up on some cleaning, and spend some quality time with her. See y’all Sunday!

Secretly, I'm trying to subvert capitalism every chance I get by giving the community opportunities to live a barter lifestyle. 🤫 #communitybookmarket #bookswap #swapmeet

It shouldn’t be considered radical to believe that every human life has value.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say no one should have to prove their worth.

It shouldn’t be divisive to fight for a basic income, healthcare, education, food and housing for all.

Everybody meet ✨ Botox ✨ the box turtle. We found him in the grass bc, well, look at him… he’s eating blueberries and sleeping in a big box. In the morning I’ll try to wash him. Ugh. #savetheturtles #boxturtle

Picture of an eastern box turtle sitting in the grass with magenta nail polish painted on its shell. A warning to turtle enjoyers- don’t ever paint a turtle’s shell; it will make them sick and potentially kill them.

It’s the start of the heat wave so come enjoy our new air conditioner and play some board games! This isn’t even a fraction of what we have, but if nothing else piques your interest, you can always try to beat me at Viking chess! #catan #carcassonne #vikingchess #tickettoride #flux #bristol1350
