slightly furious reminder that fish do in fact feel pain and do in fact experience fear and distress when in pain since people seem to love spreading the myth that fish don’t feel pain. what is it with people assuming a creature is incapable of feeling pain or emotion just because it doesn’t have complex facial muscles. come on gang

As my main income, I work with fish in a specialty pet store that’s privately owned (so I’m allowed to say no and be stern to customers when it’s needed).

You learn really quickly that not only do fish have individual personalities and emotions but they also have memories and recognize people! There are certain fish who will only come out for me and hide for everyone else. The pufferfish spits at me because she gets pissy that I haven’t fed her. The flowerhorn bites everyone but me and my coworker when we clean his tank. I trained a fire eel to come up and eat directly out of my hand.

Fish are beautiful complex creatures and I thank the universe everyday that I get to work in a place where I’m encouraged to tell animal abusers to fuck right off.

I’ll never forget the time my parents said they were going out for a few hours, and left my siblings and me at home by ourselves (ages 9-14), and instead of going nuts or just sitting around, we all rushed and did our hair and makeup and got dressed as fancy as we could; sister pulled out the wine glasses and grape juice and made an hors d'oeuvres platter, another googled how to play poker, pulled out chips from a different game, dimmed the lights, and we set up a fancy 4-person gambling den at the kitchen table and played until my parents said they were on their way back with dinner. Then we quickly picked everything up, washed our faces, changed back into our casual clothes, and pretended nothing ever happened. They never found out.

This is fantastic

Renault 16 TX, 1973. The 16 was first introduced in 1965 and was the largest car Renault made at the time. It was one of the first hatchbacks to reach the mass market and helped to popularise the concept of five-door saloons. The luxury 16 TX was added eight years into the 16’s model life and was Renault’s flagship saloon until the launch of the V6 30 TS in 1975.

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement HERE

Hey remember the Tigers books one crowdfunding that Hiveworks handled years ago? I’m still waiting to be paid for it.

This was one of the many reasons why I left Hiveworks this year. Thank you for the artists guild, and cartoonist coop for the tremendous help during this time. Tigers would not habe survived without your help.

If you want to support the artists affected by Hiveworks mismanagement, a bunch of us made a collective called Chimera Comics!
