Blaugust 15: Rubber gloves
Rubber gloves rock for all purposes. Breathing masks also rock. I curse everyone who made fun of me for wearing them! I would like to practice writing low stakes blog posts. So here we go.
Blaugust 14: Vending at Slutfest
Wrote a lil review on going to Slutfest yesterday:
https://wiki.scumsuck.com/events:2025_slutfest_aug
๐ Read that before you read the rest of my post if you want to understand my ramblings. I think I can keep my reviews in the events more concise, and then blog more about them here.
13: FIP 2
The symptoms of FIP that I am familiar with are:
- Extreme lethargy
- Inability to stand up - they just crumple
- Wanting to eat and drink, but just sitting in front of the food and water bowl
- Nausea, vomiting, diahreaa
- Jaundice - which can manifest in clouded yellow eyes when their eyes are usually another color.
- Not officially documented, but pet owners report their pet licking strange objects like the bathtub or random plastic. https://www.tumblr.com/pangur-and-grim/762799014294011904/an-update-on-the-wall-licking-i-asked-my-toronto?source=share
Research/treatment for FIP is rather recent, and many countries have not approved the medication yet. But there is a very good 95% chance of the cat surviving if you recognize the signs and manage to find the medication, especially prescribed by a vet who is up to date on FIP research.
This post will discuss pet health and death.
Blaugust 12: FIP
We are dealing with our cat's Baby Bear's health issues right now. We have not gone to the vet yet, because they are not open until Monday. But we're certain it's FIP, because that's what 5 out of 6 of his siblings died of.

I wrote this post on the car ride home after picking up medicine. But then my phone deleted everything by closing all my tabs. So here I am writing it again. All we can do right now is wait for the medicine to hopefully take effect. And maybe if your cat is having strange symptoms that the vet says is incurable, this post can help you.
This post will discuss animal health and death.
Blaugust 11: 11ty for webcomics
I'm trying to catch up, ok? I'm all fucked up about everything all around the world, and my cat's showing early signs of FIP. So while waiting for medical assistance to respond, I found a nifty port of the Rarebit webcomic template to 11ty via Cartoonist Coop's resources.
I wrote down what I did as I did it, with screenshots, on a โญnew page documenting how I got eleventy started for my webcomic.โญ
Did you see that link up there on the last paragraph?? Click that to get to the real blog post. Please.
Blaugust 10: Convention setup
I'm cope-maxxing with the fact that our canopy broke in the middle of the night because of surprise rain. So I'll talk about the set-up we're trying to do this weekend for Slutfest.
Blaugust 09: Do Interact If...
Today I saw Micah's "Do interact if..." section on their site, and was positively inspired to write a fresh new one! I had one on tumblr I wrote a very long time ago. What could change nowโฆ?
Blaugust 08: Art convention shit
Bruh we need to collectively boycott bigass conventions like Galaxy Con and Anime Expo until they fix their shit. We can't be scared of being blacklisted or getting tomatoes thrown at us for pointing out explicitly awful fucking behavior.
Blaugust 06+07: Booru gallery tweaks
I'm having fun with my booru! I'm slowly uploading art, along with the help of some of the friends I made private accounts for. I'm also uploading art as people remind me that it exists and they want to see it - see this message I got today about if I've ever drawn Venture Brothers fanart. Oh boy do I.
The booru works well out of the box, I just have to make a couple of tweaks for my own tastes and for mobile view.
