Now that the #CozyCatJam is over, I hope you’re all ready for the absolute deluge of work I’ve been fiddling with in between trying to raise money for the shelter

Things to look forward to:

Zines. Games. Incense. Poems. Weirdness. #WitchSky #Zines #TTRPGs

Only $25 to go if we want to reach $2000 before the #CozyCatJam closest at midnight

M. Belanger @sethanikeem.bsky.social · Sep 10

If only 4 more people grab the #CozyCatJam charity bundle before it expires in the next 30 minutes, we will have raised $2000 for the #Ohio shelter @alley-aristo.org

Get games - help cats!
