My brother looked into it for me, and we can't do anything to force their hand about addressing the tree, only take them to court for damages done by the tree.

aaaaand this is branch 4 that has fallen now :/ At least it fell on their side this time and only bent and knocked over our decorations on the fence. The branches are bad enough but our real worry is that the whole tree could fall over and possibly hit our house.

I am just 1 of 3 chapters into the first book and OMG THE ART IS BEAUTIFUL, the way she draws anthros is really pretty. I missed the memo that it is a "furry" manga, the character on the cover is the first "human" in a world of anthro creatures (born w/only an arm and tail to show he's a dragon)

I was extremely slowed down at the start of the year by learning the hard way I had been unknowingly developing tennis elbow which suddenly made itself VERY known by tearing a ligament, I was unable to move my arm for days, unable to even brush my own hair for weeks, and work was hobbled for months

And surgery/chemo would not be a cure, it would only extend his life, but at what discomfort to go thru the ordeal? And with the chance his kidney disease could advance at any time and claim him regardless? Is it kinder to focus on quality of life not quantity? Or am I robbing him?

Despite meds + special food Rebel's condition has not changed for better or worse, his demeanor is still normal despite his guts being obviously broken, so he's hanging in there, but I have guilt on if more should be done, but surgery or chemo on a senior cat who already had stage 2 kidney disease?

It is also just really hard to process how polarizing my mother is, because she's been equally awful and fantastic thru my life in many ways, and so sometimes I wonder if I'm actually as awful as she says I am, and then I remember she disowned my brother for moving 6 hours away and "abandoning" her

I have kept this private for a long time, but her negativity has been getting worse and worse as she ages and it is really starting to affect my ability to work, having to be super careful about what I say and how I say it, the emotional fatigue of when she goes off on me, it is draining, depressing

She just went off on me, came in to chat when I was in the middle of working on a fursuit head, accused me of "being a bitch and trying to run her off" would not believe that I meant no ill will in the tone of voice she perceived from me (as I strained to try and both work and hold a conversation)

It took most of my life to realize I did not deserve their ire, that I was not in fact an awful person who was incapable of learning to "do better" I used to cry because I did not mean to upset her and then she'd tell me I was "weaponizing my tears" and crying only to manipulate her into feeling bad

I actually have all the materials for the head including some 3d printed black antlers and a Dreamvision Creations deer skull top half, it will be neck vision, all black cept the skull, it will have LED flicker flame lights in the eye sockets and hidden throughout its fur

I would really like to make some more "not deer" if anyone is keen to claim an idea I have? I have a resin deer skull and I want to make it a "scorched deer" ie a forest fire zombie, I also want to make a "decayed deer" muted teal fur with orange and yellow mushrooms. I can also do wall mounts!

The full reveal (more not-deer please! hnnn I may just have to drum up a couple premades to scratch an itch, I do already have a resin skull in my hoaaaard)

Something strange lurks in them there woods

is it a good idea or a bad idea to go ahead and debut the purrmaid 2 months before I plan to actually sell her?? I feel like that would give people more time to save up for the auction, but I also feel like it would kill the, how do I word it, the momentum? to not debut and sell simultaneously?

Just finished up some "deer" hands

yeah my "big plans" the last few years were to replace 2 decrepit HVAC units, replace a collapsed sewer line, and replace the entirety of my 90 year old leaking roof with rotted eaves and rusted out gutters, what a fun memorable way to spend my life savings! 🫠

I was told that squirrels would not eat daffodil bulbs because they are toxic, it is why my plan was only for daffodils because we have so many squirrels.
Well, turns out the little buggers will still dig them up and then chew on them until they realize they are toxic.
