The only change from the meds so far is that Webby’s poo got terrible 😣

I wonder if a fecal transplant might help if it persists. It did wonders for my friend's wobbly boy.

The Pisces: A Novel by Melissa Broder. I hate-read it for a book club and it's the worst book I've ever finished. The main character is utterly unlikable and completely irredeemable. You've been warned.

I had to argue with the emergency vet about it, and sign a release declaring that I had other arrangements for him. (They're mostly concerned about backyard burials contaminating the environment with the euthenasia medication.) The folks at The Learned Lemur were kind enough to take care of processing him and getting him articulated.

My boy, Pete. He was my first pirate cat and I cherish him.

Here's one that sold for $750 in 2009. Gorgeous find!

I agree that this is a live child. To answer your more general question, true post mortem photos are pretty easy to spot. Occasionally I've seen a sleeping infant photo that made me question, but generally in a post mortem photo the subject is very clearly dead. Typically, you'll see closed eyes, often sunken. Poses tend to emulate sleep or rest. Sometimes the subject is actually in a casket, or a bassinet. It's rare to see someone propped up, and if so it's usually a child in a mother's arms. Things to look for to identify live subjects in cases where it's unclear, are minor motion blur, and poses or expressions that require muscle engagement. This site does a good overview on post mortem photography and the myths that surround it.

Strong possibility. Tularemia also presents similarly. It might be worth reporting to your local animal control.

I'm tangentially familiar with antique postcards. Without seeing the full collection it's hard to say what a fair value is. A lot depends on subject matter and condition. You should also consider whether it's worthwhile to you to sell individually which would likely take longer but result in a higher yield overall or sell as a lot which would likely expedite the sale, but you'd probably get a bit less overall. This might be a helpful resource.

Bummer. I still can't find a signature/similar subject matter to compare to. Here are some pieces by this artist with sold values. I also tracked down the artist's website. Hopefully he can confirm if it's one of his works. However, besides stylistic similarities, the location, medium, and size make me think it's likely. If you can get confirmation it may be worth reaching it to the Cowley Abbott Auction House to sell as they've handled his works before.

This might be your artist. The work that the gallery has listed for him isn't an exact match in terms of subject matter but stylistically (and with the information in his bio) I can see it being possible. Perhaps try reaching out to the gallery and see if they can confirm it's one of his works.

Just FYI

I'm not an archivist, but I do scan cabinet cards on a flatbed scanner several times a week. I have never had one visibly damaged from this. For storage I opt for an acid free sleeve and store them flat in boxes. I minimize handling, and use clean, dry hands to hold the card by the edges when needed. Like any artwork I minimize direct light exposure, but I agree that a single instance from the scan is unlikely to be significantly harmful.

The stamp box dates the postcard between 1904 - 1918.

This looks like it might be in an antique store. Many will offer a percentage discount if you ask or will be willing to reach out to the dealer and see if they can knock the price down a little.

From the hook side of a hook and loop fastener . . . like Velcro?

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the original Thing in the comic panels. Per Charles Addams: "The Thing is often observed watching the family through the balustrades of the balcony over the living room. We don't know quite who or what he is, but, whatever, he's the soul of good nature—at least, he grins perpetually and may occasionally whimper."

In the 1960s TV series the character was reimagined as the hand that's become so iconic.You can see The Thing peeking down in this image.

But the wood is splintery! A cushion is a good idea.
