A Very Handsome Man. Now That I’ve Finished Up The Honeycomb-crescent Family, It’s Time To Start

thank you! i think Tobi would be an orange tabby with high white spotting from your description :)

made these studying cat genetics over the past 2 weeks!

i felt like there weren't enough visual guides of cat genetics so i went ahead and made some simple ones, my main references were Sparrow's Garden the website, Sparrow's Garden the blog, Messybeast, and The Little Carnivore.

I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.

I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.

My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."

That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

Amazing post on the whole cat genetics thing, I’m 100% going to use it.

I did have a question however- is it possible to genetically have folded ears and a bob tail?

thank you so much! i'm glad so many people are enjoying it. and i believe so, yes! there are many scottish fold-manx mixes out there, however i'm unsure about asian bobtail genes mixing with scottish fold ones. i'm unfortunately not a cat genetics expert! i'd try maybe asking @sparrowsgarden! i believe they might have a better answer than i would lol!

some lesbians bc i've felt like drawing them lately <3 Blackberry and Selby[Her link is to DA because I haven't posted her ref here??] technically my first actual drawings of 2025 that weren't anatomy studies! Blackberry looks like a giant in the second one because i wanted Selby to look extra tiny lmao

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"

currently making my first batch of adopts! they should be done soon, im halfway through right now

i hope people like em, even if they only look at the designs <3
