Time for a new pinned post! I'm KB Spangler, an indie author who creates comics with my partner-in-crime, @alepresser.com Our current #comics are comedy science fiction & fantasy (FAMILY DEMONS) and fantasy (SIDE QUESTED), because reality is being a bummer and we need more joy.

Dunno who needs to hear this but I just switched the Shitbeasts' pet insurance to one through Costco and it's saving us $1100 over the year.

"What a great discount! Now, how much is your car, health, and home insurance going up, KB?" Sorry, I'm in the Weeping Closet under the Sorrow Blankets, can't hear you.

Nearly seven years ago, one of our dogs was diagnosed with cancer and required amputation, chemo, and multiple surgeries, and then he kicked it within six months. I'm STILL digging out from that financial hole. Won't have dogs without insurance from now on.

Please let us know how much it covers in practice... Everyone should have pet insurance, I think.

Eight days from now we'll see if the 💯DEMS WILL WIN💯rhetoric pays out. Every single pollster out there is basically slicing the heads off pigeons to see if the blood pools left or right. Please. Just go vote. *You* determine whether the next two years are really bad or devastatingly bad.

Really comforting to listen to pollsters tell us that their entire industry used to be based on math but now it's just witchcraft and vibes.

No, because (1) Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence (2) These people couldn't bury a stale turd in a cat box I think we got unlucky where the 49%-51% odds shook out across the board, and part of that bad luck was people staying home when they thought their vote didn't count.

I'd love to pick your brain for just a wee second. Do you think, even in your most conspiracy-riddled-secret-brain-thoughts that there's a chance that Trump rigged the last election? I think its very suspect that he won every single swing state.

The $41,692 scammers and the Tree Service In Your Area scammers will someday fuse into a super-scammer mecha that we will still simply send to voicemail.

Hipster Vampire Amy@lasrina.bsky.social

I understand that the price of having a cell phone these days is that I’m going to get scam calls from scammers and that there’s no way to block them all because they keep spoofing numbers, but what I don’t understand is why they always tell me they want to loan me exactly $41,692.

The other day I drove a friend back from the airport and the whole way we talked about how impossible it is to be a woman with ADHD while also managing...everything. About halfway home we realized there was a pumpkin sitting on my windshield.

My dad left cucumbers on my mom’s hood when he was gardening and forgot and my mom didn’t notice and drove a good distance. My dad called her and she was so confused and looked, sure enough 1 or 2 were still there.

You buy a tiny black pumpkin at a farmers' market and then a year later the compost pile starts spitting out tiny black pumpkins and I'm not helping my case here, am I.

It was a small black pumpkin about the size of a cantaloupe which I had picked from the garden and just...kinda...put on the lower part of my windshield...like ya do.

CrimCat@crimcat.com

I have SO many questions, so I'll lead with the most important: ...this was a TINY pumpkin, right? RIGHT???

I remain convinced that “couchfucker” stuck to JD because we could absolutely believe it but it can’t stick to Vivek because the couch must have *some* standards.

Yacht owners will be living in a Far Side cartoon where the whales are all “Hold on, these things just crumple? Have they been like this the whole time?”

andré carrington@andrecarrington.bsky.social

I kind of love that both sperm whales and orca have got the memo about attacking yachts. Imagine the little antifa orca clique finding out somebody from a different *species* thinks your tactics are not only justified but commendable? And it's not humans? There's no way they're going to stop

Hey fam is it a good economic sign when the brunch place that’s usually packed tighter than a sealed can of mixed nuts is half empty?

We are getting tree work done asap this week as one of our trees has decided to become an imminent threat to a neighbor's house. We had to do uncomfortable math on insurance premiums versus a one-time outlay for tree work.

Rick Ansell@rickansell.bsky.social

I have a quiet worry that, as far as Tree Service work goes, people will call them in later for unsafe trees. That not only costs the customer more but generally puts the people doing the work at more risk (which is one reason it costs more).

We all need to make a pact that we're just going to log off. Just get tf offline until the adrenaline high fades as otherwise we won't be fedposting, we'll be fedbaiting, possibly fedfluffing or even fededging. Fedging.

“Boys will be boys.” Still a huge problem. Still a mountain’s worth of work to be done. But there’s so much more awareness that no, boys are both taught and permitted to be “boys” and so many parents are working to raise healthy thoughtful boys instead of entitled little assholes.
