If you don’t see me...
I don’t HAVE to post.
Nobody has a responsibility to stay online against their own best interests just so people you really don’t know very well won’t worry about you.
That’s a fucked up way to live.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
Well… I’ll live but I’ll be in dangerously bad shape

I did it 35 minutes ago, Charlie Brown.

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers.
Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023.
Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

Dusty has lost a bit of weight since she was attacked. About 100g, which isn’t a lot but seems significant for an already lean cat.
Any tips for fattening her up? She’s not massively food driven anyway.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum
(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

I can’t believe the cast of Wicked are creating more of a scene through their second go at a publicity campaign.
No wait… I can believe it. Any publicity is good publicity, right?

I finally tried one of those fish shaped red bean (anko) ice cream sammiches.
Yes. Good. Glad there are another three of ‘em.
Also, though… having had reservations, I do wish there was more anko. I barely tasted it.

You see, Pablo Escobar imported like four hippos for his private zoo in Hacienda Napoles in Columbia in the 1970s. And now... they're just free.
Inbred cocaine hippos are just all the fuck over now. There were 50 in 2019.
There were 170 in 2023.

So many doctors, medical experts, paediatric organisations, human rights organisations, and medical organisations coming out against the government’s ban on puberty blockers.
It’s a tsunami of support for the trans community, and boy are the anti-trans bigots mad about it.
