Alright cat and kittens (am I right? Eff off Carol Baskin I wrote about kitties all morning I'm allowed) who will it be this month?
We had a bunch of characters requested from short stories by the Mad Post Doc folks, and it occurs to me that some of you may not have actually read all those stories since a couple are a d...

On Cats, Dogs, Gingers, and a Most Excellent Rack
I was with one of my best friends in Chicago for the better part of August, before the Backening, so I thought I would present to you HER denizens rather than mine. (you know this friend! 2021-09-28 16:40:49 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello, beautiful Cat patrons! This is Delightful Assistant popping in to let everyone know that unfortunately, Cat's back is much worse than we thought. She's going to need quite a bit of medical care, including traction.
So, September Things will be delayed, but she has not forgotten (and neither have I, which is impor...

Moving right along with Space Oddity this month (yes, this is my monster deadline, if you were curious) and a brief note on transporters. I'm pretty proud of this one, honestly, and it was super fun to write. (PS: yes, the chapters are all still Eurovision song titles! I considered going with lyrics this time, but titles are ...

Hi everyone!
I do apologize for some essays being delayed--as far as deadlines go, August-October 2021 is pretty much the most intense period of my whole career. I am pretty much drowning in pressure and while that's not an excuse, it is rough to do everything all at once--and on top of that, I injured my dumb back abou...

I thought we'd do something fun and goofy for this month's edition of Audiography, especially as we move into August and all the summer crops are ripening and ready to MONCH.
Give me three of your favorite songs either about, involving, referencing, or otherwise tangentially related to...food!

Late Night Half-Broke Pasta Carbonaramen
I was once mostly top ramen by volume. Most of us were, unless we have had very cushy lives indeed. But this cheap af staple can be made exponentially more delicious—and only a couple of bucks more expensive—by kind of reverse-engineering the much better sauc...

So here’s the thing about Schitt’s Creek.
