Governments should not just apportion taxes to provide for the care of people. Humans are not more important, valuable or worthy of life than other species. Governments should also be allocating funds for the care of animals, where people cannot afford to provide that care themselves.

It's not a great combo having ADHD *and* PMDD week the week before Christmas.
I just ordered 3 important Christmas presents.
Will they be there on time?! No they will not 🙈😅

Just in case you needed reminding: it's not your job to fix everything.
It's ok to pick your battles and decide which hurts to mend. There is so much needing attention. We can't heal the world, but we can make a real difference when we focus our attention wisely ❤️

I just watched all of Life on Mars & Ashes to Ashes (British version) end to end. Have you watched it? What did you think? I did *not* see the end coming.

I had a pretty weird day today. Charlie (our 15 yr old 🐕) was attacked by another, bigger dog this morning. It's only happened 3x in his life. Last time was 9 years ago & it made him more anxious, I'm worried about him. Hold my little guy in your thoughts if you can.
(He seems OK physically 🤞)

I had a hair appt today. My hairdresser is 👌🙌. She lives nearby (crucial as I don't drive), & has a salon in her house. It's really quiet, just us, meeting my sensory needs. I feel relaxed there & we talk really openly. It's everything, I looked a long time for a hairdresser I feel comfortable with.

The vet discovered Charlie has FLEAS... which makes a whole lot of sense of many of his symptoms. He also has been prescribed Librela as additional pain relief. Here he is after a haircut this evening (we cut his fur ourselves) ❤️

We are on the bus to the vet again, in pursuit of more effective pain medication, and possibly a biopsy🤞
Wish him luck!

I have a condition needing daily medicine (underactive thyroid). My father and son are reliant on medication to stay alive. I also live in England.
I have been following the current convo about healthcare in the US with interest and this article nails it 👌

I went out tonight. It was calm, I was home before 10, & I really enjoyed myself.
Now I'm wide awake at 1.45am, with an active brain that is processing & filing the conversations & the info from the evening.
I mostly avoid activities at night for this reason; it's very annoying!

This is from @elizafricker.bsky.social (Missing the Mark on the zuck place).
This is my experience absolutely.
My main memories of school as an adolescent (apart from the bullying) are of feeling chronically panicked and overwhelmed.
