Hi, I'm Cat. The cat in my icon is named Dreadful. He's an adolescent in that picture, but he's now 18.
I'm a queer, polyam American immigrant to Canada.
I'm currently surviving on a diet of fanvids, figure skating and bibimbap.

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.
Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.
Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

You know, if NBC hadn't fired Gabriela Papadakis she probably wouldn't have mentioned Guillaume and Laurence's villainy out of professionalism and she probably wouldn't have had all this free time to go on TV and talk about how fucked up it all is.
That cease and desist backfired a bit, huh?

Those who weren’t resigned to the Math Idiot Garbage Bin as kids may not grasp how much “if you’re bad at math, you’ll die in a ditch and all will be better off for it” sentiment was floating around in the 90s and 2000s, but it sure felt real to me.

I heard Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car in a public place yesterday and I thought “this is what Michael Hobbes wants to take away” and I think I need to log off of social media for a while.
This technology already exists and is widely used. It doesn't involve 'government surveillance' and would not allow ICE or any other government agency to stop individual cars.
Just say you think thousands of kids dying every year is worth it so you can speed!

Speed Limiters Now Mandatory in All New EU Cars
Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) isn't an ironclad speeding prevention system, but could be just annoying enough to spark a backlash.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Ukrainian figure skater Kyrylo Marsak will compete against Russia's Petr Gumennik at the Winter Games.
He says Russians shouldn't be allowed to compete even as neutral athletes because their nation is a "representative of terrorism".

I'll be missing the men's SP today due to seeing people in real life and an inconveniently timed dental appointment.
But right up until that starts I'll be obsessively checking for Deanna news.
