#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/12 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Kaja is working hard on launching the Kickstarter for the next 2 books soon (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...) She's fretting that holiday spending will cut into orders. I'm worried about the economy. We shall see.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Whipped up a batch of chili last night with hot peppers, tomatoes, & onions from the garden. Had to use store-bought pepperoni, as once again, the ones I planted failed to sprout. Mighty good with sweet cornbread.

#gardening Bah. It's time to pack the garden away for the season and I just had to rip out several rows of vines that were thick with green, underdeveloped tomatoes. Everything else came through like a champ, but the tomatoes just never turned red, dammit. The Italian in me is sad.🌱

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/20 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Ug. It really is time to get my garden ready for the winter. You can tell because the weather is increasingly cold and rainy…which means I don't want to be out there. But it'll just get worse the longer I procrastinate

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 10/17 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) The winter weather predictions are rolling in, and Seattle is supposed to be both colder and wetter than usual. In any other place, that would mean snow. Here, it means shaggier moss, festive mildew, and house spiders.

I believe this is an important modeling for @thephilfoglio.bsky.social to see and possibly weigh in on 😄
all scientists can be classified according to just two variables: whether they're more mad physics or mad biology, and whether their hubris is in calling up what cannot be put down, or seeking to understand what no man was meant to know
