i'd like to get some talking buttons for my beloved dragon kitty w/ renal failure. i don't know if he'll take to the buttons -- but i'd desperately like to try to ensure he's comfortable as long as poissible & can TELL me if he's not. i put some on a holiday list at az, either set would work, 1/2

katzennacht will be 4 december this year, making a nice midpoint semi-winter holiday between samhain and the winter solstice. oooh, in the northern hemisphere! but late spring/early summer in the southern! what different things would katzennacht include in the southern hemisphere? anyone?

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.

it's running out of a med for me & a safe food for dragon time again am almost out of cromolyn (i spray it topically on my lips/face/any hives, & use it on my tongue and throat during anaphylaxis) and dragon is almost out of chicken (which helps him eat and hopefully not lose more weight). 1/

There is a very good reason why the thing I say most consistently about situations like this is "the violent rhetoric policy is my least favorite policy to write and enforce, and the policy that creates the most upheaval among the userbase when it is applied"!

I may be a prison abolitionist but child rapists are the last on the list

it's been a month+ now of 8-10 pain every day. am so tired. and miss you all xoxo

periodic sharing of this invaluable info from rah

i was scrolling ig and came across @oddpride.com's post about the ancient triple burial in oberkassel, which is one of my fave discoveries. 2 humans, a 35ish man and a 25ish woman, plus what was thought to be one dog but is now thought to have been 2 (the site was a construction site; remains 1/

i hav not seen fiona and cake and now i really want to!

Legit if you weren’t already boycotting Coca-Cola because of Isnotreal you should boycott them now for their AI bullshit.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.

Today is a good day to become familiar with the idea of "If you're truly dedicated to correcting your transgression, you'll understand that it's not a transaction, and no one is required to forgive you."

Real talk. Our government is going to willfully starve us by not releasing funds for SNAP. Yes, I mean us, because we’re all in this shit together. Wanna send a loud FUCK YOU to MAGA? Grab a few bucks and donate it to your local food pantry. Drop off a bag of food. Kill these bastards with kindness.

happy halloween from me and autisticat! 🧡🖤💜🧡🖤💜🧡

dragon is running out of the sacred chicken treats that are keeping him eating. if anyone would like to help our little old man kittty, we'd be grateful. i'm on my last third of cromolyn, but it's not dangerous urgent yet. the other too aren't urgent at all xoxox www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush?

‘Raven and the first men,’ Bill Reid (Haida). Museum of Archaeology, Vancouver, BC: ‘It wasn’t long before one, then another of the little shell brothers, timidly emerged. Some of them immediately scurried back when they saw the immensity of the sea and the sky and…
