#bug !!!

One last picture of Val in the heated bed with his baby Bug. This morning Valentine was put to sleep.

He was extra stiff last night but rallied a little after his meds. He has bad days so I was hoping he’d pull through and be back to normal in the morning.

Unfortunately when I woke up this morning his back legs were totally useless and he was dragging himself around like a baby seal. Doc met me at the clinic a little bit ago and we said goodbye to Valentine

Rest in peace to the oldest man to ever exist.

I DID IT. I FINALLY DID IT. THE BUG TAROT DECK IS COMPLETE!!!

🐛🦋🐞🪲🦟🪳🐜🦗🕷️🪰🕸️

y’all this took FIVE MONTHS…… almost a whole half a year…. it felt like it took just forever tbh but now it’s over… and READY TO BE MADE 💗💗💗

unfortunately I am poor and can’t make these without support- BUT if you like supporting queer disabled artists, and getting a cool hand drawn tarot deck out of it (and maybe some cool extras? I’m still working out what those might be!) I am running a Kickstarter project for these launching on September 24th!!

reward tiers include:

- $1-$39 just for support!

- $40 for a Major Arcana only set (22 cards)

- $50 for a Major + Minor Arcana set (full 78 cards)

- $75 for a full 78 card set WITH SILVER GILDED CARD EDGES!!

I also made a short video! it’s a little amateurish but hey it works well enough, and you can see the themes for the minor arcana in it!

link to the kickstarter!! we’ll be launching on the 24th but you can follow it now to be notified!!

Always amazed what I find on the boardwalk railing out in the middle of a freshwater tidal marsh.

Introducing Sterling Wasps, native hymenopterans of the Glass Sea Bed:

These wasps are variable in color, exoskeletons shifting from an obsidian black to a gleaming silvery sheen under direct sunlight.

Their unique physical make up serves as a way to reduce and reflect heat and harmful radiation while active during the day.

Sterling Wasp Colonies form deep burrows beneath the sand; Their caves often take on a crystalline form or patterning along the walls and ceilings

They are fast. Rivaling jet speeds, their wing beats carry them far across the scorching sandy surface to limit their time above ground. (Spectators observe Wasp activity as a glittering from a distance matching that of the sparkling sand.)

Arsenal's video of the girls getting on the plane featuring some of the kids:

Frida half on her phone because her coming back to Sweden is going to be a surprise for Squish who doesn't know it's happening and she's still sorting out the details with Emma

Bug running ahead of Leah with her own little Arsenal backpack decked out in Arsenal merch with the biggest smile on her face

Guppy helping Lia drag her suitcase up the steps with her own little suitcase and bag because Lia told her she wasn't allowed to help Codi and Mario

Katie steaming ahead because she's got Gremlin on the long leash and Gremlin keeps turning around on the stairs to fight Kyra. Katie has to keep tugging on the leash to keep Gremlin moving

Also Katie having to carry Kiddo up the steps because it's early and she's tired and she can't believe she's being taken away from her kitten again
