I miss my grandpa baby so, so much. I'd give a lot to feel his weight on my chest again.
A condolences card is open with attached ink prints of a cat's front paws. Below that is a clay circle with memorial impressions of the same paws. The clay has the name "Mervin" and a heart stamped into it. And elderly cat sits on the lap of the person who took this picture. His fur is dark except for his white paws and a flash on his nose and forehead. His tongue is slightly out and his eyes are soft, looking straight into the camera.

I don't want to shit on anyone but we have really got to stop believing that discrimination against trans people is somehow even worse for cis people
Screenshot of a skeet that reads: Transvestigators are more of a threat to woman than trans people, they police everything and hurt more women that aren't even trans, the hypocrisy shows

We had to let our most perfect muppet go yesterday. We were so lucky for every minute we got to love our grandpa baby man.

Mervin we love you forever in our hearts 💕

Mervin being held up in a mortarboard hat, in front of the title screen of The Graduate Mervin being carried in a baby wrap, nuzzling under the chin of the person he is wrapped to. The lighting is bright and their eyes are closed as they smile down at him

Does every tuxedo dog have anxiety in their bones, or just every one that I've met?

She's like a model
A monocyte in a field of red cells. The monocyte is textbook-perfect with fine cytoplasmic granules and a classic kidney- bean shaped nucleus with lacy chromatin. The red cells cluster around her, drawn in by her beauty and magnitude.

Placebo trials are common for new vaccines. But it's ones that get updated like a new formula for measles, or covid boosters that don't have placebo trials.
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Text: Vaccines for new pathogens are often tested this way. But for well-researched diseases, such as measles and polio, public health experts say it makes little sense to do that and can be unethical, because the placebo group would not receive a known effective intervention.

We have a shitty telescope now and I can't wait to use it more. The moon was so great tonight

If I lost a wanted child at 34 weeks and some lawyer called them a non-existant person, I'd break that lawyer's nose
Text: “There is no statute or binding case law finding an unborn child to be a ‘patient’ under the law,” attorneys for the hospital have told the court, citing an Iowa Supreme Court ruling in a 1971 case that held “there can be no recovery (of damages) on behalf of, or for, a nonexistent person.”

without a shred of irony 💀
First post: If you really want to piss off the cis for cis' sake, ask if PCOS could be considered intersex because of the atypical hormone production. Cis women *do not* like that Second post: As a cis woman, why would that piss us off? We’re smart enough to know that PCOS is more than likely medical, for probably multiple reasons, rather than someone being intersex… stress. insulin issues. medications. obesity. Not everything is because of “intersex”. More than likely NOT if anything.

You've never seen a more grandpa baby than Merv
An elderly long-haired tuxedo cat sprawled out sleeping on a heated blanket A closer look at the kitty His nose is pink and most of his face is gray with age And ever closer look at the venerable gentleman. He is sleeping so hard that he doesn't seem to notice he's being swallowed by the cushions. He is so, so comfy

I finished knitting my very first pair of socks!!!!
