I like cats, reading, and learning about new things. I want to help make the world a better place.
These are adorable and I got one for our tree. Wouldn't your tree like a dragon too?
Okay!! This is our final restock of the sale (which ends tomorrow!) Even if I reprint them as fast as possible they won't be back in stock before midweek!
So. I mean. Go get your gingerbread cookie dragon keychain/ornament. 💓

So, um, if anyone has any pennies in the couch cushions they could send my way, my neighbor just found these in his shed. He knows I “help kittens” and well, here we are.
They’re underweight and filthy, and the smallest one worries me, but we’ll get him bathed and fed and figure things out. /1

Hey, anybody! I'm doing a thing! It runs until early-ish December, and you can get some pretty nifty stuff if you lend a hand. Indiegogo recently changed their platform, and so now all of their campaigns are all-or-nothing. Have a gander if you wish: www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

Any book recommendations for the second narrative?
We have existing narrative for big hero with the gun.
We do not have very well engrained narrative in US for "Quiet community work making incremental changes and passing baton to next person to keep going after you die."
We've made the first one sound glamorous. The second one sounds like WORK 😆

Everyone wants to be the hero with the crossbow and fallout shelter, no one wants to be one of many uncredited community members doing the inconvenient work of daily civic engagement 🫠

Vaccination *does* cut down on transmission (not as much as we would like, but it does have an effect), and so by enduring the discomfort of this vaccine process you are helping to protect your fellow human beings, especially those of us who are immunocompromised.

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.
