In an effort to build up the commune so they never have to do chores again, Angry Beaver and Rat try to seduce lonely, unhappy, and confused animals into joining Cascadia. Here Angry Beaver tries to explain to a kitten that she’s never going to catch the mouse, that her fruitless striving is just another example of the personal power she’s abdicated to capitalism, that her desire to be cute makes her a pawn of the patriarchy, that she needs to get off the boot and Let. Her. Spirit. Blossom.
Rat just can’t get over how the mouse looks like a hedgehog and keeps questioning her on her family tree, sure that he’s found some kind of missing link. If he can prove it, the paper would land him a tenure track job for sure.
