CAT SOLVES CAPITALISM. 'We needed to sell donuts,' says Cat, 'so we made donuts - and people bought donuts and are them. But then they weren't hungry. And we still needed to sell donuts. So we made different flavors of donut - and told people that the type of donut they bought - defined the as an individual. So people bought donuts - even when they weren't hungry - and made themselves eat them - but you can only eat so many donuts. And we still needed to sell donuts. So we made different colors and shapes of donuts - in fanciful, limited editions - and people bought donuts to take pictures of them to show other people THEY had the donut - and they didn't even EAT them. And once you're selling donuts to people who don't eat them - the number of donuts you vsn sell - is UNLIMITED.' Girl's stomach grumbles. 'What do you sell to eat?' Girl asks. 'NOTHING,' says Cat.

As the monoplatforms that displaced the monoculture shudder (above: monotremes), we here at the Cat and Girl social media department (employees: 1/28 of a person) would like to celebrate the fact that all the feeds and accounts you need to keep you from looking here, at this website, are – briefly – working. So come join us for your distraction-from-environmental-catastrophe needs –

and, for luddites who don’t mind web-based subscription platforms, there is a (millionaire-adjacent) patreon that sends out zines

Or, as drewtoothpaste.bsky.social said: “‘why would you use that site? don’t you know it’s financed by someone evil?’ yeah well i made my own websites and you all stopped going to websites so i have to use the evil ones you like instead of my own.”

All Times Are Limited, Strictly Speaking

November 25, 2022

For the next week the attic store is going to be OPEN AGAIN for orders. There’s a limited amount of stuff in there! And I have a limited amount of patience with the current modern era of packing and shipping things. So this will be it for the next couple of months, good luck getting three Graces on coasters when you decide you need them THEN.
