Guys, if you want to be a good artist and storyteller you need to absorb other media and influences beyond popular comics and movies and video games. Hell, even beyond visual art. Read novels, science articles, history books. Listen to podcasts, watch documentaries. Dip into different disciplines. Explore stuff outside your everyday. What you create and the pool of ideas you can pull out of is expanded by the knowledge you gain. Don’t do yourself a disservice by limiting your library. You never know when some weird shit you read about mushrooms could end up inspiring you or helping you solve a design/story problem.

Wyoming cat infected with bubonic plague

The health department recommended people avoid areas with rodents and use repellant when in areas with fleas.

NBC News

Cats contracting plague

Fun fact, prairie dogs are plague vectors. An animal Wyoming has a lot of. Luckily according to the article the cat in question recovered.

This is also the third cat with the plague that has been found in Wyoming in the last six months. 

A 16-year-old boy in Colorado contracted the disease and died in 2015.

This is why it is so important to freeze rodents before you work with them, especially during the summer months. You’ll want to freeze the body for at least 3 weeks to a month to ensure total die off. I personally freeze rodents for a month. Plague can still be alive for a few days in the blood of infected animals. 

“But Necromancer! Bubonic Plague is super rare! There’s not a chance I’ll get it! This ain’t the dark ages!” I mean.. I’m pretty sure that’s what that kid was thinking when they diagnosed him. Bubonic Plague is also only one of three types of plague. Septicemic and Pneumonic are the other two. 

Just be careful when handling animals, always make sure you have gloves. Make sure to double glove if you’ve got any sores or open wounds on your hands. If you’re working with something fresh, I’d say wear a face mask to protect your mucus membranes. Last thing you want is for something to flick into your face because 1. that nasty and the worst feeling ever you’ll wanna shower for 900 years and 2. you have no idea what that animal is infected with. 

Just be safe, my fellow vultures. And keep your cats indoors or harness train them and let them into the yard with a leash!

Honestly the best feeling in the world is when you pick up someone’s cat, and they’re like “I can’t believe she’s letting you hold her !!!” Like yes. I am the cats friend. The cat whisperer. The forest nymph. The cat charmer. Th e
