The fatality rate for bird flu in cats is staggeringly high (up to 90% depending on the study).
Outdoor cats are at highest risk.
Keep your cats inside. Don’t feed them raw food. Keep them away from birds (especially water birds). Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with livestock

The mortality rate of H5N1 influenza in cats ranges from 50-100%.
Cats, like birds, have high levels of the specific receptor this flu strain attaches to: α2,3-linked (SAα2,3) sialic acid receptor.
The biggest source of H5N1 in cats? Raw pet food.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."
I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.
We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

no matter the outcome of this election: organize, build local community, build strength in masses. elections aren't the only time politics happen, it also happens on the streets, in the community and by mutually supporting each other.
