From a series of drawings of animals taking over public spaces during the first COVID lockdowns. I totally forgot I did these time lapse videos.

HBD to the most elite of HBDers of the interwebs, @tugboatcity.bsky.social — and as always: a damn fine dancer.

Another spin around the sun on this dirty ass rock spaceship.

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

Why were there only 3 measles deaths in the last 10 years Robert

In the summer of 2013, two esoteric, technical, incredibly important texts were published within weeks of one another: the first is the Snowden leaks, which revealed a system of global, pervasive digital surveillance. 1/

one pager about my Grandpa Ed talking to his Siamese cat Hank.

Amazing strip from Laura Park in the New Yorker about the French heat wave: newyorker.com/culture/arti...

Possibly my finest sketch.

American healthcare: I've had good health the last few years, and the last medical visit was to my primary care for bloodwork in 2024. I pay $700/mo for my insurance, so after paying ~$17k for zero medical services, they just sent me a random bill for $33 to finish paying for the 2024 visit.

I made a game in 3 days for #ldjam Fling a bat and explore levels using echolocation. Like billiards but weird. Let me know how it plays for you? Thank you! castpixel.itch.io/ping

Taxes done. Ugh. I've been slogging through TurboTax for years (when I couldn't find a CPA), and just heard of FreeTaxUSA this year. Lives up to its dorky name, and was breezy to file even with my fairly complicated self-employed setup. #adulttalk #motherfuckingtaxes

wtfffff

fiddleheads definitely inspired h.r. giger 😱

I can't resist maniacally laughing and pointing whenever I see one of these on the road. They still look like pre-rendered minecraft accidents that cause a reality distortion field.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

They should have to carry their own gas, bag heir own lunch and piss in bottles wherever they go. And no one should pass them on a street without reminding them that every last one is masked and gutless fascist trash.

Another year, another disgusting water filter replacement.

I was preparing for Trubble Club from a very early age.

Keep it together: CAKE is a month away.

The complete ‘Project 2025’ comic is up over on my blog. Thanks for reading - www.joshuawcotter.com/words

I think our 38-year-old rhododendron has graduated to tree.

This sweet reversible butt potato is so good the cashier asked to take a photo of it.

The tulip poplar dropped Carl a flower. Also peak Carl in 2017.

I've been posting some musty deep cut questionable comic shorts to my site lately, including this ink spill for @anniefish.bsky.social which *fully* explores the genius of SLIDERS natebeaty.com/comics/sliders

OMG Alaska Robotics Mini-con is a month away.

My parents were already divorced when my dad died. We three kids received survivor's benefits. My sister, who has Down Syndrome, also receives disability. I wrote about family's experiences with Social Security here: michaelianblack.substack.com/p/safe-footing

I set up a Con-Mon Bluesky bot account to get a heads up on registration deadlines and upcoming conventions: @con-mon.bsky.social

I simultaneously want and don't want this amazing skateboarding ninja youtube show to be picked up by one of the streaming platforms to be fleshed out more. It's the skating dopamine hit equivalent of the British Bake Off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=avPw...

Nobody was able to send viewers into a dreamlike spell like Lynch. Ages ago I did a comic for SPX2002 about Jack Nance, which has some pretty hilarious young Lynch cameos in his floppy hat. natebeaty.com/comics/nance

My phone screen just got hacked by a tiny piece of potato.

Don't forget to change your water filter 🤢

Fox News: "The Onion has 4.3 trillion daily readers."

I guess pumpkin guts were a poor choice for the compost.

Mankind.

I've been on a muffin kick lately. Muffins seem to help the pain. Chocolate chip, blueberry rhubarb, apple bran, ginger spice.

These lasted about 2 days in an 80º North Carolina October. Remember October? 😅
