Hi!

I’m disabled & live 50% below the poverty line in Canada. I’m a non-binary lesbian & polyamorous. I have a dog in training named Valiant.

I’m a furry! My fursona is a snow leopard named QuyetPawz.

Coping with the fact that tomorrow is Monday by convincing local strangers to send me pictures of their pets throughout the week.

Chalk art on a sidewalk of a multcolored burst of angular lines, under which "GOOD DOG" is written in fluorescent yellow, pink, and black with an arrow pointing up to the line burst, encouraging people to put their dogs in the middle and take a photo because sharing pet pictures makes the world a better place. At the bottom of the sidewalk it says "SHOW US YOUR DOGS!" with the handle of the art instagram @rocks_on_the_block

If you're reading this, I will absolutely give you the benefit of the doubt about how hard you're working. Others may or may not see it; or they may misunderstand what "working hard" looks like for survivors who are committed to masking our struggles.

No matter. Stay on target.

Almost impossible to mail anything to the United States these days and if you're using Chitchats, if one package on the truck is not 100% compliant, US Border Services is turning the entire truck around. As for Canada Post? Forget it.

One of my favorite charities Orphaned Wildlife Center suddenly started posting A/I s/lop when they really don't have to. You loose the support of nature loving people when you use a technology that is using an excessive amount of water and energy. Harming the world for mediocre views isn't it... 🐻💔

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.
