weeee weren’t 100% sure where they were and the direction we were driving in that had trees visible in the distance started to get WET so we turned around since getting stuck out there is a very real and dangerous risk haha

nah there is still the disconnect of a screen- physical presence is essential for me to truly experience a space, I think

another one where the scale of the landscape is completely incomprehensible until you’re standing in the middle of it

oh noooo ;n; urinary crystals are no joke… sad we won’t see you at BLFC, but it is good you’re taking care of sweet Nebby ♥️ he is a lucky guy. So sorry to hear about Brave 💔 I hope things smooth out for you both soon.

Important update: Echo and I will not be at #BLFC as planned. Alt txt/ img for details.

Hi everyone, life update from Laughing Coyote Homestead.
Not only are we grieving the loss of several members of our chicken flock, including beautiful Brave, a rooster I raised from hatching 5 years ago, but life has thrown us an even harder curve ball.
Last night, moments after we pulled our 8-year anniversary pie out of the oven, Echo and I noticed our cat, Nebby, in distress. Turns out that the coolest, sweetest cat in the world had his very first bout of urinary crystals. The night before we were to leave on a 2 day road trip to BLFC. We must attend conventions to pay our bills-- and they're our only chance to see many of our found family and closest friends-- but now, we have to stay home. We must watch over Nebby, administer meds, and find ways to increase his fluid intake to prevent this from happening in the future. I knew male cats struggled with this problem, but even my best at prevention wasn't enough. It is what it is.
We must allow ourselves to love, even if it hurts sometimes.

So. What this means for us is we'll be working harder to make cool art from home, running sales and maybe streams and opening commissions, so we can make it through to January for Further Confusion. (We may not even get selling tables there, either, but will shoot for what we can.) Our life is a financial hopscotch from convention to art fair to convention, and missing a step is going to be quite a leap indeed.

If you appreciate what Echo and I do, whether it be the experimental art, farming, local political activism, or what have you, now would be a fantastic time to help. There’s also lots of inexpensive digital downloads on my PayHip, where you can get crafts to make, sketchbook compilations, and ebooks. Anything helps to recoup the cost of needing to miss a huge chunk of our yearly income. Thank you for your support: the only reason our studio runs at all is because of you. And now it's time to get to work! Stay tuned for announcements for shop sales and commission openings.

No matter how "awesome" or "funny" the merch may be
Under no circumstances must you give them a dollar

Show them they are not welcome here

They only care about money, and always will, only care about money

Keep furry weird, and keep the normies out.

This is our home, not theirs

a fun lil project I’ve been working on lately! hand painted magnets :) I will have these at my table at BLFC. I have been looking for ways to bring more hand crafted things to my offerings and these are really fun and low pressure. I would love to do more. I hope people like them!
