Juice is starting his final lap. What I thought might’ve been a sprained paw has evolved into a complicated neurological event. He either had a stroke or the cancer is in his brain, but he’s still fighting, so I will give him all the help I can.

I see daily on Twitter panic about standard atmospheric events. I have seen this particular thing with my own eyes several times. It’s called ✨resetting the radar✨, and I don’t know why technical issues aren’t someone’s logical first thought when they see something like this. (1/3)

I’ve never read Dworkin, but damn at this point I might have to, because damn this is spot on and deeply in alignment with trauma in women and the authoritarian personality.

I have given up and am systematically closing the apps for my own sanity because there’s just so many terrible people on there.
But sometimes there’s people who are not so terrible.

"It needs to be more aggressively fey," I mutter to myself as I increase the saturation and adjust the hue of 9802 plant assets individually and neurotically, including replacing all the lilypads. I think we're on hour 30 or so?
