No kitten yet! Still waiting on the call from the rescue. They don’t have any yet. ❤️ (And I would normally adopt an older cat, but my dog is 5 years old! So they told me a kitten would be best.)
Haven’t updated here in a little bit. I’m getting a kitten soon!!!! It’ll be so kitten, so little cat 🐈 I’m so pumped! It might be a month or two… but when I get kitten, I will post ALL the kitten pictures!!

When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything. Managing it can be a full time job.
Non disabled people can’t understand how hard we work to ration energy, avoid infections & minimize setbacks.
Even when you do everything “right”, progress can be wiped out in an instant 🧵

Include disabled people in your resistance planning. In many ways we’re built for resistance, as we have to find creative and sustainable ways to survive every single day.
This is the time for intersectionality and community care. We need to work together and save one another.

Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.
In a disgraceful act betraying millions of their own residents, Iowa, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming all write to oppose birthright citizenship.
