I make garbage and talk about rats and webdev.

I am 30 or 40 years old and I will not be giving this app my ID, these new laws are idiotic.

I should get back to my comic cms when im done with this other more important but also more boring thing

I made a tool that can parse a csv file to insert the data into a database and also take the database data and turn it into a csv file if you pass it an ini file with how the table names pair up

Espresso spinning on harness on my porch...then deciding she's done with it and asking to climb back onto my shoulder by reeling in the harness lead! She was very effective at her communication!

I wanted to eventually pitch my book here. So much for that.

Second time sculpting anything ever...? The topology around the eyes is definitely horrifying but i don't know how to fix that yet

I went into this wanting to sculpt one of my characters and ended up with this weird, semi-real head instead, idk what happened

begging this rat to take her meds from the bowl instead of exclusively from the tip of my finger, it takes *so* long to medicate her because she will not take them any other way

Curious noses.

This is the sort of welcome you get arriving home to your boy rats after visiting some girl rats. Or vice versa.

Like dogs, rats can learn much from each other’s smell - health, diet, relatedness, immune system compability. Imagine being able to do that with humans!

I have this beefy college textbook about laboratory rats that I bought explicitly because I figured it'd be helpful to know where all their organs are and how they work metabolically, and if anything's going to cover that it'll be a book about using them as lab specimens.

i'm so glad porphyrin turns bright neon pink under a blacklight, it makes definitively knowing whether something is that or blood so much easier

rats secrete a red substance that looks like blood from their eyes and mouth if anyone not-rat knowledgeable is wondering wtf i'm talking about

Improved upon whatever this is: tuxedodemon.com/circle-shapes

i want to design wearables and such but i want them to be well made and I also want the people actually doing the printing/whatever to be fairly compensated for their labor but I also want to be fairly compensated myself and i don't think all of these exist together unless it's me doing all of it
