Glad that S1 of Living World got returned - it was funny that when I returned in 2019, I had a S5 release come out just about the same time as the S1 rerelease, so multiple things I worked on dropped at once and I only did active work on half of em ;D Someday hopefully Lost Shores will return...

I made a gofundme because being homeless is going to kill me. Please spread the word that two of our great living artists are begging for money so they can finally get their lives back.

I got my boy Chuck from the local PAWS rescue here in Seattle and I love them tremendously and I keep thinking how I'd react if this happened with them. Absolutely would be heartbroken and would go there to talk to someone (EXCEPT prolly not cuz I'd adopt more cats immediately and defeat my point)

And they have such a cute sweet Instagram! If a human can handle that why can't they handle much more important stuff like questions?? :(

@murderblonde.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 1:47 AM

Ugh that's so utterly tone deaf of them. I would feel completely betrayed too. I hope they pull their heads out for the good of their staff and the cats and all who adopt and donate!

Oh that's some*bullshit*. If a place in my area did that I'd (politely) Karen out and write a severe email at em and start the clock at 3 days before I put them on blast publicly (and also sought out other good alternatives to promote and donate to so cats still got help and love)

DO YOU LIKE BEING TERRIFIED??? :0

Oh Jesus Christ that's a speedy milkshake duck, we got that article like what, 3 days ago?

@murderblonde.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:25 PM

Yeah did the same. Ironically it's extra AAA to have someone at the top think they're doing something terribly clever by using genAI until people angrily call them on it
