Hi!

I’m disabled & live 50% below the poverty line in Canada. I’m a non-binary lesbian & polyamorous. I have a dog in training named Valiant.

I’m a furry! My fursona is a snow leopard named QuyetPawz.

Ooof...

Well the checklist is done til dinner time.

Accidentally played a song that matched my feelings for the last several years and wound up sobbing in the shower.

That's okay, I reminded myself to feel it and that expressing it is absolutely okay.

Ooof...

I haven't checked anything off yet from the to do list today yet.

That's how big of an impact day 1 of my period has on me.

I'll get up and try to push to do em...

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)
new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10.

in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time.

Totally using monthly subscribers on my Ko-Fi as an excuse to record training/play sessions with Valiant.

It's motivating plus I figure people will get to see what Valiant is like.

Waiting on a video to upload now.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Period is due soon which means I had my monthly randomly start crying over the fact I'll have to say goodbye to Valiant one day.

Yep...

Thanks brain and hormones... I did not need that.

I've been working -hard- at reestablishing a routine and sticking to it...

I'm proud of how I did this week.

I missed a few things BUT the apartment is in a good state, I'm way better taken care of...

I wish I could reward these efforts but I can't afford to which makes sticking to it harder.

To folks who are monthly recurring supporters to my Ko-Fi...

I posted a cute Valiant video for y'all of a training/play session with him cuz I think y'all will love it.

November 9th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Up and moving...

Today, I am shaking, overheating and have brain fog. Can also feel a headache brewing.

Turns out snow is expected today... That explains why I feel so wonky.

Yep chronic illness and disabilities definitely add a level of unpredictability to one's life.

After waiting years he was removed from the waiting list without his parent's knowledge. He was classified as a palliative patient who couldn't benefit from sugery, but that's contradicted by Great Ormond St Hospital in London. We only know of this because a whistleblower made a protected disclosure

The best part of having POTS and needing extra salt to stabilize your blood pressure is when someone starts selling counterfeit electrolytes that have no salt in them at all!

If you have POTS, double check the site you’re buying from, especially on mobile.

Interestingly, I don't get hassled about this at work, even though masking dropped below 3% in theatre audiences years ago.

In addition to not shaving off more cognitive function from Covid, I haven't had an incapacitating asthma attack in half a decade.
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
