URGENT: Seeking $̶2̶0̶0̶ $50 CAD. I’m out of kratom early.

In 2012, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I'm in SEVERE pain. I might apply for MAiD. Ontario won’t give opioids to chronic pain patients, but it WILL euthanize us, if we want.

My mind keeps circling back to this tweet from Dan Sheehan, a.k.a. @sickofwolves.bsky.social. Originally posted in 2018. Still relevant. (Unfortunately.)

Please share a weird animal fact. Or a lesser-known animal fact.

FACT: Coyotes climb trees. (Coyote Ethos: “Never tell me the odds.”)

Your turn!

Are any other #Offspring fans here right now?

They're coming back to Canada in 2026. THANK FUCKING GOD. ❤️

I had tickets for July 23rd, but a medical crisis fucked up my plans.

I need my fix. February can't arrive soon enough.

Set 3: The bleeding hadn’t stopped after an hour. Blood kept soaking through everything. Time to visit ER.

Set 2: Tile floor. I left a trail…

Set 1: Carpet and hardwood floor.

Guess who slashed their foot on broken glass today? 🙃

The house looks like a crime scene. Blood EVERYWHERE. 🩸🩸🩸

The ER doctor stabbed me with very painful needles. He started stitching before the anesthetic kicked in. I wanted to kill him.

I’m on crutches. Apparently, I’m 5’9, not 5’7. Huh. Cool.

Introducing George.

George is a friendly local kitty. My shithead neighbours abandoned him. 👿 He drops by for food, water, and affection. Until he steps into the sunlight, his fur looks black.

How would you describe the true colour of his fur? (I might have dyed my hair this shade before.)

Reminder: showing empathy for Charlie Kirk is disrespectful. It goes against his values and beliefs.

Locked post.

Same ol’ liberal tepidity. Who needs right-wing propaganda when “leftists” are still placing roses in the barrels of cannons? Are Democrats even capable of learning from history? (If this doesn’t apply to you, it doesn’t apply to you.)

CANADIANS and OTHER NON-AMERICANS:

I’m looking for housing.

Late 30s, nonbinary, doing an online university program. I’m Ontario-based, but open to relocating. It’s just me and a sweet, well-behaved indoor kitty. And a few plants. 🌱

Do any of you guys have space available, potentially?

I'm stuck on this question from an NYT article.

Body, I think?* Before chronic pain ruined my life, I was an outdoorsy person. Athletic, scrawny, wiry, agile, bursting with energy.

Which would you choose? Mind or body?

*Original typo: "Thonk." I like that word. 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑵𝑲.

Be nice, or I'll thonk you.

Maybe we're not lost.

Maybe we're finding a new way home.

Hey. Jeff VanderMeer is following me. 😳 That's pretty cool.

I'm one of those people who can't handle compliments. I distrust good news. If anyone needs me (lol), I'll be hiding underneath the dining room table.

Stealth was euthanized yesterday. (Late-stage liver cancer.)

Seven years old. Damn.

I'm glad our paths crossed, happy little cat. I'll miss you forever.

Frederick Douglass was an exceptionally gifted orator and truthteller. My jaw is on the floor. Incisive, scathing, beautiful fury. READ THIS. EVERY SINGLE WORD.
