There are currently TWENTY THREE Great Pyr mixes at the Oregon Humane Society available for adoption, rescued from a huge neglect case out in Polk County. If you’ve ever wanted a LORG fren for your family, you can’t do much better than Pyrs.

I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

I have had it with the justifications. The weaponization of poverty, neurodiversity, mental illness, all of it.

if you follow me and are using my RTs of authors' books to pirate books (many who are financially struggling, I might add), then frankly fuck off.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Zoe's Animal Rescue Society in Edmonton has emptied their funds taking in some animals who need expensive surgeries. They were slammed pretty hard this year, and [gestures wildly at the world] donations aren't meeting the demand.

Please share/help as you can.

Our rescue is fundraising, not only to fill the cupboards, but to pay vet bills. Like for lovely Pixie who had to have ALL her teeth pulled recently.

As a no kill shelter, they don't euthanise the scaredy babies, which means feeding them.

I was going to wait on selling these, because I feel weird about making money on glass while I still owe commissions, but I'm out of solder and just paid a $550 bill for that, so they're available now! Six stained Glass succulents in little ~3.5"x3" hexagonal pots. Pics/prices below, DM to claim:

It looks like I am part of a larger trend--10 times more scientists running for public office in 2026 compared to past mid-term elections. Maybe all the attacks on science are the cause😜.

Jude 🌈 was adopted from Humane Society of Rome (NY). They have sent an email plea for kuranda cat towers (like the one we have).

If you are able, you can order from shelterbeds.org & they ship the towers direct to shelter.

This program works for any shelter in the country.
