Hey! It's station identification time!
I'm Cat Farris, comic book artist and cartoonist. Here's what my art looks like:

A three panel page from my comic The Great Train Haunting. Panel one: a chibi style woman stands in her extremely messy 1910's newspaper office. It's littered with supernatural memorabilia/Old West shit.
Panel two: She holds a human skull with a horn on it and scowls at it.
Panel three: ots shot of her looking at her weird old typewriter.

The cover art for the GN MY BOYFRIEND IS A BEAR. A romance novel style cover featuring a large cartoon black bear in an open plaid shirt holding a cartoon woman in a dress.

Double page spread from the GN THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR. Done in black, white, red, orange, it's a montage piece telling the story of pilgrims who were persecuted by their community and fled under the graveyard to eventually become ghouls.

Page from the GN THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR. 5 panel page of Grey and his friend arguing about taking a shortcut through a cemetery on the way to school.

Portland: according to a post on the local Reddit, Noem's visit to the ICE building is being purposefully extended until after dark, presumably to catch some "violent antifa" propaganda. Hold off for tonight, watch out for your neighbors' safety.

Putting this here in the hopes it gets more visibility.

FYI for anybody to pass along to people protesting. My company has buildings in the area and were notified that they are holding the motorcade through tonight, meaning they are using her visit at this location as a way to try to provoke protesters into an altercation which they can use justify their response. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. Even better would be to just not protest tonight and give them nothing to use to push their narrative.

Perfection!

I love it when the timeline syncs up! Thank you!

Anyhow, I'm probably going to be deleting my Patreon entirely at the end of this week because of this issue, so if anyone has had any success on another platform, hit me with it!

It's not like the whole point of Patreon is to help me get paid for my work. And now I can't get paid because Stripe is broken for me. And it's very clear that Patreon support is incompetent and couldn't possibly care less.

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 3d

Got a business bank account like a professional, and in trying to swap to it for my Patreon deposits it instead just broke my Stripe account. Patreon support has been appallingly useless. I've been talking with them for three weeks and all they say is "we're working on it, please wait."

Ooh, yikes!

This dog has been putting in her best effort to keep me from fully flipping my lid. I just came out of the bathroom furious and falling apart, and Coco wagged her tail at me with a look that said "Don't cry, don't be mad. Come lay next to me and give me pets instead." Bless.

If the feds aren't in Portland, then why are there still helicopters buzzing my damn neighborhood constantly? The protesters have been hanging out at ICE for months without all this air fuss. Why is this happening?? @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov

Something something easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven...

She's getting used to it, I think? But I'm not! Who do I have to annoy to get it to stop?

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 5d

It's a special kind of hell. I'm kind of nervous it's here to stay but I sure as fuck hope it's not because my brain will implode.

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 5d

As a resident of the specific neighborhood that's getting pounded with constant helicopter surveillance noise, I too wish to join this lawsuit.😤

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 5d

Exactly! I feel like a lot of folks think it can only be gym stuff, but even dancing, roller skating, hiking in nature, yoga, and walking your dog can all accomplish the same thing.

Stay active on a regular basis! Any active hobby you can get to at least three times a week will help fend off your body's inevitable betrayal and keep away aches and pains.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

I’m a trans nonbinary cartoonist working on a story about a nonbinary kid raised by pirates, growing up with magic and a found family of monsters they meet along the way!

It’s a celebration of survival skills and resilience!

Oh nooooooooooo

The hip wrinkle on that pittie is sending me

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 8d

Yayayay!

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 8d

Hell yeah. Washington is the place to be, apparently!

Our pharmacy is being dumb about it. "We can't do walk-in vaccines right now." Even though they absolutely can. That's CVS for you I guess.

I got mine through my hospital job no questions asked, so at least I'm taken care of. Just gotta get Ron in somewhere now!

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 8d

They are! Have been for a few weeks, I think? But I know I've put in an application so it's open.

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 10d

Oh man, if it is a Stripe problem, I'm sorry in advance. I don't think anyone at Patreon support knows how to actually troubleshoot Stripe.

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 10d

It still shocks me how stunned people are. They literally told us everything they were planning to do ffs.

Cat Farris @cattifer.bsky.social · 10d

Hope everlasting is the dog way!
