Listen…I want to tell you about how for the last week I’ve been fighting god damn mice in my basement ceiling for the last week.

(The kill count is 11, and I’m basically getting numb to it but also please pray for me that it’s almost over because I think I filled the various holes they could have gotten in. Last weekend I manically replaced a vent with one that had a pest guard on it and I bulked up the guard with metal mesh, and also I spray foam’d some holes around my stairs near where I’ve been catching them and I’m gonna basically gonna walk the perimeter of my house and just spray foam the whole way round now.)

But, positives: the rate of mouse trapping is slowing…to like one per night so that is good. And Trixie is spending less time in the basement tracking them in the ceiling (I think).

So let’s focus on some other positives, I planted over 100 bulbs in my front yard because I didn’t pay attention to how many were in each bag so I think spring should be exciting….or maybe it will be disappointing. The bulbs are where the previous tree was so idk if it’s a hospitable place for bulbs idk.

And the rest of the photos are just Trixie being cute, and the tv stand I built. Which I was building when I had to really admit that there was something in my ceiling lol.

#pray there are no mice in my ceiling #because sometimes I have prayed that the electric trap is empty #and then god laughs at me and the trap is empty but because the trap misfired and so I just have proof there was a mouse but I’m not closer #to a mouse free house #beatrix #my face #claireified

So in November I started sketching this

A symbol of childhood would not support anything that ends in the harming and murder of Children. This is my fuck you to The Castle and Bobby in the dictators spot the Mouse is free and he's ready to Protest.

An ode as well to when Donald hit Hitler in the face with a tomato.

Literally never thought I would say this in my life, but can we stop focusing on whether something is gay or not, and open our eyes to other forms of representation, too?

Yeah, sure, huntlow is a m/f ship, but it’s also an interracial ship that includes an attractive white boy (who reps MANY “unattractive” qualities) having a crush on the fat Asian girl. That’s such amazing representation!!! Why are we only stuck on it being a “het ship”

#the owl house #toh #huntlow #‘huntlow is just a het ship they threw together to please Disney’ um are we watching the same show??#you REALLY THINK they would throw a het ship in their to PLEASE DISNEY???#that crew couldn’t give two shits about the mouse tf you on #also-again- it’s so much more than ‘just a het ship’#AND AGAIN AGAIN IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SHIP THATS FINE!!!!!#i would never force someone to like a ship like that’s dumb #but if you’re gonna come into our tag with stupid arguments #like…. free real estate my dude #also imo huntlow is bi4bi so #if that were canon that would also be some amazing rep!!!#bc a person is still bi even if they are dating someone of the opposite sex #rant

my cat is such a good buddy. i was having a lil post-work stress because it has been A Day (it has, in fact, been A Month) and he came over and sat on me and did the calming purring thing they do and he is so warm and cuddly and i love him so much even though he persists in letting live mice loose in my house at 3am so i have to catch them

#did i ever tell the story of the mouse that lived in my house for 18 months #because the cat brought it home and set it free and neither of us could find it again #but for MONTHS afterwards i could hear it under the floorboards and it chewed holes in sheets in a cupboard i assume to make a nest #and then over the winter it went quiet #but it WOKE UP about six months ago and the noises started again this time under one of the stairs #so eventually my dad came over with a drill and some rat poison and anyway the mouse no longer lives here #but it was a TIME #next time i'll tell the mouse story that ended in antibiotics

Gabe's story is so sad to me and I think he needs a moment of peace wrapped in a warm blanket with some freshly brewed tea and maybe a nap, but also his story is so good and hopeful that I need to beat him to death with a baseball bat.

#hes like an unwanted mouse or rat i suppose. little sopping wet beast with the biggest shiniest eyes youve ever seen to the point that when #something bad happens you just want to give him a little dish of water and some cat food but if he were to succeed at life (start living in #my house/raiding my pantry) his ass is getting stuck in a glue trap until i get the baby oil to free him and send him back outside #(i wouldnt use a glue trap irl btw let alone for something as cute imo as rodents or snakes)

So last night at 3 in the morning my cat woke me up going crazy. At first I was so drowsy that I didn't understand what was going on. Well, somehow a little mouse decided (very poor choice really) to get in my room (no idea where it came from) and my cat obviously went kill mood. Finally after the scream I let out (because the little fucker decided to try to escape running over my very naked foot to get away from my cat) and some calming down breathing I was able to rescue the poor fellow from certain death. Now I dont know what to do with it. I have it currently in a plastic cup sleeping in a orphan sock. I wanted to kill it at first but now i just cant. It was shaking for like an hour after and it is SO SMALL! LIKE SMALLER THAT MY CAT'S PAW. I gave it some bread and water and i don't know what to do with it now. I can't keep it obviously and I can't kill it. So I will probably set it free in a field or something very far away from my house.

#a slept really bad the rest of the night #first because my cat kept looking for it #and second i got paranoid thinking that maybe it wasnt the only mouse in my house and i went in a cleaning spread at 3 in the morning #now i have headache #may eat something and take a nap #and when the rain stops i will look for a place to set it free

Copy Right and Public Domain in 2024

Happy 2024 all! its also Public Domain Day! a magical holiday here in America where things enter the public domain. Works published in the year 1928 (or 95 years ago!) have entered the public domain, which means they belong to us, all of us, the public!

Mickey's Back!

Yes! I'm sure you've heard, but Mickey Mouse (and Minnie Mouse too) is entering the Public Domain today. This has been news for a few years and indeed Disney's lobbying in the late 1990s is why our copy right term is SO long. So what exactly is now public domain?

Most people know about Mickey's first appearance Steamboat Willie, but a second short film, Plane Crazy was also released in 1928 so will also be public domain. So what's public? well these two films first of all, you're allowed to play them, upload them to YouTube or whatever without paying Disney. In theory you'll be allowed to cut and sample them, have them playing in the background of your movie etc. Likewise in theory the image of Mickey and Minnie as they appear (thats important) in these films will be free to use as well as Mickey's character as he appears in these works will be free to use. Now Mickey's later and more famous appearance

will still be protected. Famously the Conan Doyle Estate claimed that Sherlock Holmes couldn't be nice, smile, or not hate women in works because they still held the copyright on the short stories where he first did those things even though 90% of Sherlock Holmes stories were public domain. It's very likely Disney will assert similar claims over Mickey, claiming much of his personality first appeared in works still copyrighted.

Finally there's copyright vs trademark. Copyright is total ownership of a piece of media and all the ideas that appear in it, copyright has a limited set term and expires. Trademark is more limited and only applies to things used to market and sell a product. You can have a Coke branded vending machine in your movie if you want, but it couldn't appear anywhere in the trailer for your movie as thats you marketing your movie.

Where trademark ends and copyright begins and how trademarked something in the public domain is allowed to be are all unsettled areas of law and clearly Disney in the last few years as been aggressively pushing its trademark not just to Mickey in general but Steamboat Willie Mickey in particular

Ultimately the legal rights and wrongs of this might not matter so much since few people have the money and legal resources of the Walt Disney corporation so they might manage to maintain a de facto copyright on Mickey through legal intimidation, but maybe not?

And Tigger Too!

All the talk about Mickey Mouse and Steamboat Willie has sadly overshadowed other MAJOR things entering the public domain today. Most people are aware Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain in 2022, but they might not realize his beloved friend Tigger didn't. Thats because Tigger didn't appear till A. A. Milne's second (and last) book of Pooh short stories, The House at Pooh Corner in 1928.

Much like Mickey Mouse only what appears in The House at Pooh Corner is public domain so the orange bouncy boy from the 1960s Disney cartoon is still on lock down. But the A. A. Milne original as illustrated by E. H. Shepard is free for you to use in fiction or art. His friend Winnie the Pooh has made a number of appearances since being freed, most notably in a horror movie, but also a Mint Mobile commercial so maybe Tigger too will have a lot of luck in the public domain.

Other works:

Peter Pan; or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up

Peter Pan is a strange case, even though the play was first mounted in 1904, and the novelization (Peter and Wendy) was published in 1911, The script for the play was not published till 1928 (confusing!) meaning while the novel as been public domain for years the play (which came first) hasn't been, but now it is and people are welcome to mount productions of it.

Millions of Cats

The oldest picture book still in print, did you own a copy growing up? (I did)

Lady Chatterley's Lover

The iconic porn novel that was at the center of a number of groundbreaking obscenity cases in the 1960s and helped establish your right to free speech.

All Quiet on the Western Front and The Threepenny Opera in their original German (but you can translate them if you want), The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie, and Orlando by Virginia Woolf will also be joining us in the public domain along with any and all plays, novels, and books published in 1928

for Films we have The Man Who Laughs who's iconic image inspired the Joker

Charlie Chaplin's The Circus, Buster Keaton's The Cameraman, Should Married Men Go Home? the first Laurel and Hardy movie, Lights of New York the first "all talking" movie, The Passion of Joan of Arc, The Wind, as well as The Last Command and Street Angel the first films to win Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively will all be entering public domain

For Musical Compositions (more on that in a moment) we've got

Mack the Knife by Bertolt Brecht, Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love) by Cole Porter, Sonny Boy by George Gard DeSylva, Lew Brown & Ray Henderson, Empty Bed Blues by J. C. Johnson, and Makin’ Whoopee! by Gus Khan are some of the notables but any piece of music published in 1928 is covered

Any art work published in 1928, which might include works by Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Alexej von Jawlensky, Edward Hopper, and André Kertész will enter the public domain, we are sure those that M. C. Escher's Tower of Babel will be in the public domain

Swan Song, Public Domain and recorded music

While most things are covered by the Copyright Act of 1976 as amended by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, none of the copyright acts covered recordings you see when American copyright law was first written recordings did not exist and so through its many amendings no one fixed this problem, movies were treated like plays and artwork, but recorded sound wasn't covered by any federal law. So all sound recordings from before 1972 were governed by a confusing mess of state level laws making it basically impossible to say what was public and what was under copyright. In 2017 Congress managed to do something right and passed the Music Modernization Act. Under the act all recordings from 1922 and before would enter the public domain in 2022. After taking a break for 2023, all sound recordings made in 1923 have entered the public domain today on January 1st 2024, these include.

Charleston by James P. Johnson

Yes! We Have No Bananas (recorded by a lot artists that year)

Who’s Sorry Now by Lewis James

Down Hearted Blues by Bessie Smith

Lawdy, Lawdy Blues by Ida Cox

Southern Blues and Moonshine Blues by Ma Rainey

That American Boy of Mine and Parade of the Wooden Soldiers by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra

Dipper Mouth Blues and Froggie More by King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band, featuring Louis Armstrong

Bambalina by Ray Miller Orchestra

Swingin’ Down the Lane by Isham Jones Orchestra

Enjoy your public domain works!
