I super wish we'd had a camera recording or something but itw as just so unexpected. He had this shocked "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" expression because I guess the fleas were goin' wild and biting him, but he was completely fluffed up and weirded out by it. ^^; He settled down an hour or so later back into his usual cuddly lazy lumpiness. ^^;
Oh right that reminds me
nothing actually reminded me the thought just came up but hey here we are anyway
so Frankie is sadly no longer with us, but he was a lovely, good boy. The goodest boy in fact. Big old soppy lump of a cat.
But he got fleas one time. So did Misty. so we got flea pills and holy shit. At first, he was normal, but then suddenly he froze, stared wide eyed, fluffed up and suddenly ran up a friend of ours on the couch, stood on his head and shoulder and chirped in surprise.

contacting me from one of these is the best way to ask me to add you
tired: not looking at the youtube comments because you know they're going to be garbage
wired: knowing this and doing it anyway via some strange compulsion or morbid curiousity which makes it so you don't even REALISE you're looking through the comments until you inevitably read something that makes you go "my god what is wrong with youtube comments, guh, why do they even have these if they're going to be this ga-oh god they were always this garbage-OH MY GOD WHY DID I READ THESE AGAIN!?"
I have another take on the idea of "demanding content warnings from strangers".
I've been asked (never _demanded_) a few times. As a white cis man, it behooves me to listen, even if I choose not to use it in the end. (I always have, though that may not be right for you.)
Look, many of us are here for community and understanding, and sometimes that means listening to things that may seem "alienating" at first--but it's really important to keep our ears and hearts open and understand.
Always be listening.
birdsite is a fuck, amazon is evil and flailing (twitter screenshots, late-stage capitalism)
apparently amazon made employees create astroturf accounts just to tweet at anyone who talks about factory conditions at amazon which is totally not propaganda and
look

"Can you teach me to change shapes?"
"I wish I could," the shapeshifter said, "I wish everyone could try shapes until they found a few they like."
"A few?"
"Or maybe one. But most of us have a few we are really at home in."
"You're almost always a cat."
"It's one of what I am."
