This entire article is worth a read because while what they said should be shocking and unexpected, the sad reality is that to anyone who has been paying attention it really is not and that is a horrifying realization.

Republican officials and leaders need to stop having secret group chats that someone later exposes. This happened again, and the creepy crawlies under this particular rock were, in a word, insane. My write up and mini-rant in today’s piece, link in the replies.

Important kitten update: the "alpha" cat Tulio has started to accept her finally! I came home from work yesterday and found them cuddled together in the wreckage of my bed (Tulio has a vendetta against made beds)

All this to say I love this kitten wholeheartedly and it's helping to heal my heartbreak from losing my old boy Merlin earlier this year

Cryptid Chaos Entity @slaydelconnix.bsky.social · 1d

But I've had several cats, most of whom I've had their whole lives so I have a lot of experience with cats and kittens. It's a bit easier for me to care for her since I have the set up and the know-how. And it makes me happy that I can put them to good use and give this sweet girl a loving home.

To be fair the person I got her from found her abandoned and did the best she could as a temporary foster mom who had never had cats, not at all her fault.

There is something so healing about this new kitten coming to me ill, underweight, and kind of lethargic vs now having been with me for 2.5 weeks and eating voraciously, playing constantly, and choosing to come to me for cuddles and sleep.

Here's a helpful hint for artists: if you are ever trying to capture an expression of pure unadulterated disgust, look no further than an adult cat who has just been introduced to a new kitten because let me tell you that is a heretofore unseen level of no thank you

Cryptid Chaos Entity @slaydelconnix.bsky.social · 11d

It's exhausting and messy and honestly I'm absolutely thrilled because it means she's feeling better. I think she's putting on weight and I think she's going to bring some vitality back to my old boys once they get used to her.

Cryptid Chaos Entity @slaydelconnix.bsky.social · 11d

She has now become well enough that she is engaging in the typical kitten schedule: running around like a deranged toddler for an hour, crashing HARD wherever she is at the moment, waking up, pooping, eating, and starting the whole cycle over again

But after taking her to my incredibly skilled vets, she was put on the appropriate antibiotics and I gave her a flea bath and she is well on her way to making a full recovery.

Evidently she came to me with 2 bacterial upper respiratory infections AND fleas, both of which are things. I feel like the vet who examined her prior to me picking her up should have picked up on and, I don't know, maybe warned me about?

I officially have a new kitten! Talia (named after Talia Al Ghul because she looks like a desert princess and I'm a giant nerd who loves Batman) has arrived! She was found abandoned by my dad's friend who couldn't keep her.

She's around 2 months old (which I know is young to be separated from her mother but we had no control over that) And she's very playful and very sweet and she likes to sleep. I love her already

I'm not delusional enough to believe that I somehow look like I'm in my teens or twenties at 37 years old, but when I tell you my flabbers were gasted when I found out how old Laura Loomer is... Hateful people really age like milk, goddamn

Honestly kind of hoping there is a rapture. It would be nice to get some peace and quiet

Cryptid Chaos Entity @slaydelconnix.bsky.social · 22d

Rather than, I don't know, the giant fucking tornado he's just lived through.

Cryptid Chaos Entity @slaydelconnix.bsky.social · 22d

All of this Rapture talk is reminding me of a documentary I watched about a tornado and how one of the poor interviewees exited the yogurt shop he had sheltered in to find the town destroyed and desolate and his first thought was: Rapture.

Wondering why one of the doctors in my PCP's office has elected to display his undergrad diploma. It's very nice, but doesn't really speak to your proficiency with medicine.

I got it from both barrels, both of my parents are deeply autistic although if I'm being honest my dad is slightly more so. Evidence: his homemade dinosaur flash cards with the full Latin names written out that he made by himself when he was four. Not for school for his own purposes

In fairness my mother did cause my autism by being autistic herself and passing it on to me. But I understand the spirit of this

Bill Prady @billprady.com · 23d

The cruelest thing about the Trump/Kennedy pseudoscience press conference today is that there are now women who believe they caused their child’s autism.

To those women: you didn’t.
