CAT is open today (Tuesday) Best wishes to whoever adopts this rare beauty. #cats #Siamese #AdoptDontShop Many thanks to CL Smith Photography who generously takes these wonderful photos for CAT as a volunteer. They’ve helped many cats find a good homes.

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

What happens when rangers risks their lives to protect nature? Meet these 13 brave award-winning guardians:

“Back to normal was about Back to NORMAL because people had a little too much time, a little too much money, a little too much attitude, and a little too much freedom.” #Pluribus #Covid #HiveMind #MaskUp #SciFi #LongCovid #Horror #HealthCare #Denial 🎯😷💀🦠👀🌎🚨

Same as they did to force people to go back to work while still sick and contagious with covid

Every federal worker who has been clocking in without pay, every protestor who showed up for No Kings, every voter who turned out for Dems Tuesday, every community member confronting SS ICE in our streets - all of us braver & better than these "leaders."

It's getting colder every day throughout much of the northern hemisphere. If you want to build shelters to help keep your local stray and feral cats warm this winter, here is a great DIY option! www.alleycat.org/resources/ho...

Please make those calls.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters: #SNAP #cats #dogs #AnimalShelters #FoodInsecurity #Pets

I just got thrown into running a food pantry out of our PTA office. Ask me if I’m radicalized yet.

Watch the Ukrainian cats come running after the Hachiko team refilled the feeding station in Pyatykhatky, a town not far from where Russia blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam. 🐈 🐈‍⬛ This area was previously occupied and remains dangerous for residents.

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Meet Tater Tot. He came to OR fr ASPCA in CA where infection cost him one eye. Sadly, the other also had to be removed by vets at CAT. Tater spent 8 weeks at our house recovering and adapting. He’s the sweetest, bravest, smartest boy, and he now has a great home. #Caturday #kittens #BlindCats

What's great is in PDX you might just see this dude strolling down the street or at a food truck, or rollerblading past at 2am. Because Portland. I don't know if "dude who just lives there" counts as a mascot.

Forms of socialist ideology in the US: Roads, bridges, tunnels Public transportation Public education Police services Fire services Public health services Public parks The USPS Social Security The Military Socialism is not a dirty word.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

Anne Louise Avery tells beautiful microstories set in her own world of wild open spaces, small communities, talking animals and mutual respect between all living things.

Everything is terrible, but at least I can help some kittens.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute. This is the *moderate* position, by the way.

I love my town Portland artist, community to paint world’s longest dachshund to help pet owners during SNAP cuts #SNAP #Portland #Pets #PetFood #Art #FoodAssistance #dogs #cats

Portland taqueria feeding folks during the shutdown/immigration threats. Sounds like they could use support to keep going as well, if any Portland folks are looking for ways to help rn.

so it's been like this for a while I see

When "search" was the thing, the tech goal seemed librarian-like: organize the world's information, make it available, and rank the most reliable/useful info first. That was a noble "librarian at scale" goal! A.I. doesn't want to be a librarian. It wants to be the confidently wrong drunk guy. 1/

One of my favorite winter traditions. 🎄❄️ Buy Anne a coffee and you might receive your own Advent calendar story. I’ve cherished mine over the years. Hurry, these 24 calendar windows sell out quickly. #stories #holidays

Rose manages our schedule more than we do her’s. #cats #OfficeCats #TuxedoCats #AdoptDontShop

Instead of toys for his birthday, 6-year-old Oliver asked to save endangered tigers. Here’s how this little-known hero is doing it…

I just got out of D&D and am finally watching The Speech and I got as far as "these are not hands that have been allowed to hold power" before I burst into tears www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MfB...

It is honestly an extremely big deal to me that Americans have come through big in beating back the fascist elements in our country. Tonight’s margins plus the drubbing ICE is taking in our best cities is really giving me hope.

Cat in Temple Hills MD/Eastern DC area needs rescue placement ASAP. Midnight was a cat who lived at the same complex as Ellie. The people who were feeding him moved away recently & left him behind. He turned up thin & injured. Ellie’s adopters took him in & got him med attention but he can’t stay—

The 🇺🇦 Food Train 🚂 had a visitor today! Grateful to the Ukrainian Railways team for their non-stop courageous work. The train is still cooking thousands of meals every day, often under fire in the Kharkiv region. The Iron People are unbreakable.

Beauty break, just cause * The Engineer and I have a particular fondness for geckos after sharing a jungle hut with one in Belize. We called him Morty. * No one you know, no one you interact with right now is OK. Be kind. 🍄☕️🍁

Are you hurting #wildlife without even knowing it? Lots of things we do every day, whether in pest control or #PetCare, are detrimental to the wild creatures and plants we share the planet with. But product labels don’t tell us that. We hope this new webpage can help ➡️ bit.ly/4qBspgt

Good people #Snap #Portland

Will you look at this Love Bug. 😻 Maryland, Shoyu has a come a long way thanks to patience, care, and kindness. (Also treats) She is ready for her forever home. #cats #AdoptDontShop

Supporting Students During the #SNAP Pause - A good article with useful advice. As a former teacher, I know educators will spend their own money to help those in their care. If you can, please contact a local school, and see if they need food supplies. Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry.

“[Mamdani’s] presence wasn’t performative. It was pastoral. In a city that so often divides its grief by identity, he crossed the invisible line and simply showed up.” i love this forward.com/opinion/7805...
