Black-and-white hand-drawn comic in pen.

Panel 1, upper-left inset: A-K, a tiger-like alien with fan-like ears, curly hair, and glasses picks themselves up off a thoroughly collapsed highway. Scaling from nearby buildings, they are over 100 meters tall. A-K adjusts their glasses as they rise, not noticing the long RRRRIP sound coming from their shirt as the neck snags on something sharp, severing it down the middle.

A-K: "Ow."
NARRATOR, speaking in boxes: "You okay?"
A-K: "Just my pride... [in small, concerned text]...what about everyone else?"

Panel 2: A-K walks from the broken part of the highway around a curve, to where it's adjacent to a ridgeline. They are now clearly much larger than they were as they step off the highway with a small THOOM that throws up dust. Lights up the ridge suggest this is part of their emergency path. Their clothes are in tatters.

NARRATOR: "No worries! This ain't that kind of story! You did good!"
A-K: "I must be popular."
NARRATOR: "Bah. Everybody knows I'm the bad buy. Consensus is 'poor kitty!'"
A-K: "...But the highway."
NARRATOR: "The 'Trains Everywhere' people are posting Sickos memes."

Panel 3: low view showing off A-K's ass as they climb up the ridge, their hairless black tail swooping to one side, claws digging into the ridge with a CRUNCH and hands crumbling the lip with a CRUSH sound. Their clothes are completely in tatters and their modesty is now a function of camera angle.

A-K: "Heh." [beat] "What's your angle in all this?"
NARRATOR: "I give the people what they want."

Go ahead and destroy the highway, quarter-kilometer kzin. Make the people happy for #MacroMarch.

This #GrowthDrive (still @stellaedgecomb.com 's fault) proceeds with, like, #growth and #macro and stuff! And now *teasing* T&A!

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Mercedes G-Wagens, absolutely no one who owns one actually uses them to their full potential, and they won't give us one to go throttle it off-road, so no one should be allowed to have any and they'd be good under your ass.

Follow up with thoracic doctor, after PET scan, she has spots throughout her body from fighting the main mass in her lung area.

Biggest lumps on shoulder and hip.

On Monday, they’ll remove the shoulder lump to determine what type of cancer.

Need appointments set up with oncologist and radiation…

Miyazaki replied, "I never think about the audience."

Especially looking forward to the CA Science Center talk, as it’s focused on how we’ve managed a career in an industry that isn’t exactly welcoming of people who are queer and have mental health issues like we do. They probably think they’re getting a typical ass-patting TED talk, but not from us.

Wild week ahead!

Judging a multi-day student rocket comp and being on a panel about our career as a rocket scientist. Then seeing Donny BenΓ©t in concert, along with a work party at @kangamutt.bsky.social’s place. Then being a featured lecture guest at the CA Science Center later this week.

A lot!

DST is really fun working in an industry where sometimes we’d be simultaneously tracking four time zones on the planet and one time zone aboard a spacecraft.
