We spent $450 but we are taking her back to the vet because we think the problem is snuffles. She is still eating little and has low energy
Well we’re back at the vet, so sharing ways you can help us. This one hasn’t been eating properly.

UPDATE: We have to pay $400 which is a little more than we set aside for an x-ray because she probably has a hairball. So again, anything helps. ❤️

I loved Between the Lions!
Between the Lions—a PBS children's show complete with puppets and literary enthusiasm—was arguably the zenith of children's media, especially compared to modern YouTube slop.

this timeline is very clarifying, showing 1) right-wingers immediately promoted the idea the shooter was trans before any evidence, 2) someone within (or claiming to be in) ATF leaked false info to right-wing outlets reinforcing that claim. all of these ppl are evil and the leaker should be fired.
