Hey I'm back! As some of you know, I experienced some scary harassment here last month when a user threatened me and the sanctuary I work for and I was shocked when they received only a 3-day suspension for that. I have now been assured that the offending account is permanently suspended, and

Hey folks! @skyladawn.ca is at the emergency vet clinic with the fourth emergency in four months.

This appointment is probably going to cost ~$500 so I'd like us to try to cover as much of it as possible. This is going to be a thread on how to help.

ICYMI, this thread and the quoted post document my descent into madness re: anthropomorphic cow mascots.
I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow.

If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.
This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.
