Hi, folks. I see Faine Greenwood reskeeted my cheese mite monk drabble. If you're new to this bluesky account note that I have a weirdass sense of humor and consider male pregnancy a valid way to solve demographic mathematical issues in grimdark settings where developers don't do maths properly.

I want him to make friends so when his humans collect him he can meow all his adventures to them.

He is getting to know them, though, as I've decided to let him roam the place, except at night, I'll keep him in the bathroom while I sleep so I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to rescue him from self-inflicted chaos.

Smol Houseguest update:

Bean. You know, larger than a 2l soda bottle? That Bean? He's scared of the visitor. He's hiding from him. It took him until just now to touch paws with him.

Little dude is upset that Rosie isn't intimidated when he fluffs his tail out, tho. She's just "bork?"

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."
www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.”

On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers.

According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers.

After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

But if they never turn up for whatever reason, I will not judge. I will make sure he has a safe place to stay with enough food and vet care and also Bean and Rosie to make friends with, if it comes to that.

Little Houseguest Kitten has no microchip. We have put out posters and left a notice with our apartment office and also put up "we found a cat" posts on local nextdoor pages. We will do everything we can to find his humans again, because they know best how to love him.

The broken thing about gender relations here is men who think they're entitled to women's bodies.

It's insane that culture creates expectations for young cis straight men that an ideal mate should be okay with being sexually objectified while also being their mom & placing their husband's needs over their own; then when these men can't find a partner it's the womens' fault for wanting autonomy.

If you actually read the rest of the thread you will see that I am planning to find his family.

He is complaining from the bathroom that he wants to be let out to explore and possibly climb into my bed to sleep but I'm not going to do that until he's been checked out by a vet.

PS: I have left the bathroom light on, but the top flaps of the box are arranged such that he can retreat into the darkness of the box if he so wishes.

Usually she plays a tiny bit rough with Bean because he gives as good as he gets. But with this newcomer she just put her nose up to his and let him sniff her first. She's such a treasure. I suspect she's going to want to surrogate mom him if he gets to stay.

Melissa Wong @favomancer.bsky.social · 1d

Beancat is curious, but little dude is a little sus about Strange Big Male Cat who could take exception to him. He's even more sus about Rosie, who is big stinky dog he doesn't know.

For her part: Rosie's reaction was "TINY CAT BABY. I didn't know they came that small! Must be extra gentle!"

It has dropped to 38 in the daytime in recent days so this buddy was probably very uncomfortable out away from his humans. It's nice and warm in here and I tucked his improvised bedding in a box so it has high sides to trap heat.

The wife already has a nickname for him. >.>
