Can the worm just finish eating Bobby's brain already? My autism is not a "problem" to be "solved" by force-feeding chicken laxatives or what the fuck ever

putting this on your timeline again

Why is she cosplaying as Piss Jug Man?

And if I didn't have enough bullshit going on this week, I just found out my rent is going up by 100 in November. God, I really need a reliable second source of income.

These poor kids may be stuck in Flea Quarantine in the kitchen until their very first vet visit next week, but they're still sweet, rambunctious, and completely adorable (and growing bigger every week!)

I just saw this recently! Definitely did not live up to the unfettered chaotic weirdness I've come to expect from Hickox (of Waxwork and Hellraiser III) by a long shot. Lundgren in bondage is the best part

A national day of remembrance likely going forward for the man I will continue to refer to as "some podcast Klan bro". Utterly pathetic. (And this on top of people getting censored or fired for the most lukewarm criticisms of said podcast Klan bro. An absolute shit-eating country.)

Whenever I scrounge up the energy to attempt to browse dating apps again, I'm going to have to insert a bio line telling people not to use the Content Regurgitator to DM me. Ugh

UPDATE: I've made the goal! I have an appointment for the 25th, a week from today (which is not ideal but it was the earliest the vet could fit me in). I'm leaving this GFM up for a day or two longer just in case, because I don't know if there will be any additional medical costs I didn't factor in

My new two-month-old babies have fleas and because my life sucks, I've caved and started a GFM to get them to the vet ASAP (and before you ask, I already tried a Dawn dish soap bath and am using a flea comb). www.gofundme.com/f/support-de...

Today I gave kittens a bath for the very first time and have a few tiny battle scars to prove it 💪

Well, that's just fucking fantastic: I just confirmed that the kittens HAVE FLEAS.

It's never too early to talk to your kittens about body disposal 🔪🪚

Important Kitty Update: Just now, Monty strode into the kitchen and started drinking from the kittens' water bowl (perhaps as justified retaliation for their flagrantly drinking from HIS bowl every time they visit his territory).

Good news for me: one of my oldest unpublished completed stories (written post-college), which is also the first appearance of my fictional Midwestern town of Brookhaven, is finally coming to print next year!

So "Millennial Nazi shot by Zoomer Nazi" about sums it up, huh

*taps the sign* 🙃🙃🙃

Me a few minutes ago: "Wait, there ACTUALLY plans to put flags at half-mast for some podcast Klan bro? That's not just a joke? Absolutely pathetic"

a society that treats anyone horrified by a genocide as an extremist and demands that public figures eulogize a nazi, is a fascist society. that's where we live

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

If someone dies who was objectively a complete asshole, but you disapprove of the way they died or have some residual guilt around "speaking ill of the dead," you don't have to publicly condemn that person's death or mourn their "loss" or "legacy" or whatever. You can just say nothing 🙂

TODAY IN CAT: The babies ventured into the bedroom--Monty's domain--for the first time while he watched & occasionally hissed from the bed, and they DRANK FROM HIS WATER BOWL. The flagrant disrespect! After a bit of that he jumped down & slowly approached them with a light growl & I can't blame him

Exciting feline developments: yesterday was the one-week anniversary of my adopting Dexter and Delia and it was quite eventful! 1) The babies learned how to use their first scratch pad.

GOOD. The settlement was nowhere near enough and left a ton of questions up in the air like whether Anthropic would be allowed to keep using the pirated material.

I tried to organize the first close-up meeting between Monty and the Bodega Babies (safely through the bars of the cat carrier) but he hissed once and backed up into this defensive stance. Sorry, kitties 😞

Let's talk PET INSURANCE. The vet recommended I obtain some for the kittens because I now have three cats and one has various old-man medical needs. She recommended a couple, but does anyone have firsthand pet insurance recs?

Every day with little kittens is A Journey. Just a few minutes ago Dexter gave me what were unmistakably his first conversational mews (i.e. not because they wanted attention or were yelping because their sibling was playing too rough) 🥺

An unexpected moment: while taking Monty to the vet for a checkup this morning, I saw bodega cat Oreo in the window. Oreo happens to be the father of Monty's two new baby siblings (and I knew Oreo when *he* was a kitten). Little did either of them realize . . .

The joy of adopting two littermates: last night I caught them *simultaneously chasing each other's tails* like a tiny fluff-covered ouroboros 🐍

I woke up and stepped into the kitchen to find this tiny agent of chaos had laid claim to my boots

On that note: any advice for teaching a kitten to use an unfamiliar litter box? I've been picking them up and putting them in the box once in awhile so they know where it is but they don't seem to get it yet 😕

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: just cleaned up outside-the-box kitten piss (WITH the box clearly in view) (AND nearly got pissed on while doing it) 🙃🙃🙃

In which Dexter and Delia take their first steps into their new home 🖤

VON HESSEN HOUSEHOLD FELINE UPDATE: the Cellar Dwellers have spent most of this evening huddled up together in the kitchen corner underneath my coat rack. I've been giving them space because I know it's a big change from their first two months of life spent in a bodega basement.

*busts through saloon doors* There's a new gang in these here parts 🤠
