If anyone feels so inclined, we're up to over $1100 in vet bills since Oct. 8 with another appointment set for Oct. 28, plus the cost of insulin, syringes, and new food. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated! 😽 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

On the one hand, Nibbler actually decided to eat this morning so he could get his insulin shot after having to skip it last night for refusing to eat. On the other, he fought like hell when I gave him the shot, and I wound up with a few scratches and almost injected myself instead. I need a nap...

My poor Nibbler kitty has diabetes. Now we're going to cuddle after his trauma that was the trip to the vet before I have to attempt to give him insulin for the first time later. I feel like I might need to stock up on Neosporin and Band-Aids in the meantime...

"The officials who ruled [America], and got all the graft, had to be elected first; and so there were two rival sets of grafters, known as political parties, and the one got the office which bought the most votes." - The Jungle, Upton Sinclair It's really sad just how relevant this book *still* is.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

Aubrey inherits more than a house—she inherits a legacy of tragedy, secrets, & a chilling curse. In the haunting town of Rossdale, voices whisper, visions torment, & destiny calls. A gothic suspense debut where the past won't stay buried, & the truth could be deadly. books2read.com/nothing-hidden
