Will re-up this a few times over the next week, in case anyone missed it and wants to help.
Posted an update to my GoFundMe on Zoe's leg surgery. Upped the donation goal if anyone feels like helping with the leg removal surgery, but I understand if you don't. Folks have been very generous already.

Disconcerting that, just like that, we are now seeing a global conflict in which total disinformation is obfuscating any factual reporting. And the usual scumbag christofascists are happy because the only thing the like more than antisemitism is anti-Islamic bellowing.

Am I actually living through a time where a majority of the global idiocracy is debating just WHICH group of children deserves to be massacred?
Is this mass untreated insanity?
Civilization may have, upon further reflection, been an Entire Mistake.

Another amazing piece of writing from @swordsjew.bsky.social …left me with a bit of melancholy, but also with, surprisingly, a palpable feeling of hope. Thanks, Talia.

Ah, it’s that 15 minutes of the month where Mimas stops annoying Saturn and they sit next to each other, lol.
This lasted another 30 seconds post photo.

This guy. Mimas came with the name ‘You’ from the unstable person who rescued him…he was, *of course* a Maine Coon…he very likely has zero Maine coon dna in his goofy body. Why are people like this? He is awesome! As he is! Is this like white pill who insists they are ‘1/4 Cherokee’ or ‘1/2 Navajo’?

Jfc, every time I briefly check ‘The App Formerly Known As Twitter’ - as a number of great people I follow are not yet here - I seriously feel the need to shower. I’m there for less than 5 minutes before some nazi/dipshit/techbro/bluecheck fuckwittery makes me want to smash my phone with a hammer…

On may 27th, I rescued a ‘7 or 8 week old’ kitten from someone who was drastically unable to take care of him,
Who in turn rescued it from someone
else. His litter mates all apparently died over the course of a day, leaving the ‘runt’ of the litter the only survivor.

I’m breaking news: a brief detente has been reached(until Mimas decides to use older step brother Saturn as a toy again). Truly a time of miracles.

The only ‘good’ thing about this crop of current Nazis and fascist-adjacent racist scum, is that they can’t keep from expressing their stupid ideas immediately. Back in my day, they hid this shit and you’d work with someone for YEARS and one day, some awful garbage spills outta them…

Two months to the day since I rescued 2 month old Mimas (Much to
Chonk, Lorge Saturns’ chagrin) and finally they nap peacefully! (Usual behavior is Saturn grooms or plays chase with Mimas, while the Tabby Terror treats Saturn like a big furry chew toy). Progress….?

So glad I finally have a kitten who ignores the $300 off toys scattered
Around to methodically thwack every item on my table to the floor. This is what I missed by adopting adult cats for the last decade. *weeps*
