A multimedia drawing showing two people sitting on a blanket under a tree smiling with an old school boombox next to them and a third person dancing to the music. Nearby someone walks their dog while talking to a person using a wheelchair. Near the bottom of the image, another person is waiting at a stop as a futuristic bus arrives. In bubbly handwritten text over the drawing is "a better world."

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service!
If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤
why is ctrl+w so close to ctrl+s though. 😭
btw there's ONE SPOT LEFT for Acrylic Painting Cats TONIGHT. Good way to get started on your submission for Cats of Ballard and play around with acrylics at the same time... :3c www.simpletix.com/e/acrylic-pa...
Just added another bunch of cat photos to this post in what is probably the last update! Go find some inspo! 😽

Dropped off some copies of my Lost in the Dunes zine at @pushpullseattle.bsky.social in Ballard's free zine stand. There is also one last copy of CBA vol 72: Weird Forest on sale. This volume of CBA features my longer folk horror comix Sugar Hollow along with a collection of international artists.
Promo graphic for Make Your Own "Lafufu" featuring photos of plush creatures with kinda cursed looking handmade faces. Text reads, Want to participate in the whimsy of having a little guy on your person, but don’t like to contribute to the crushing despair that is capitalism? This class is for you! Create a one-of-a-kind Cursed "Lafufu" using second-hand stuffed animals and polymer clay. Give them teeth, eyes, and eternal life. Easy for beginners, as we’ll be just using scissors, hot glue, polymer clay, thread, and your imagination. At the end of the class, you’ll have your very own new friend you can clip onto your backpack or use as a warning to strangers.
