Realised I've never shared Napoleon the feral kitty's story here, so here we go.
This is Napoleon, and this is the story of his nine-month journey from a hungry, desperate feral street cat to snuggly duvet monster. /1 ๐งต #cats
A big revelation from the vet trip was that 'she' was actually a 'he'! Just a very tiny, underdeveloped and malnourished one. Probably only a year old.
I won't lie: fostering Also Not My Cat after the vet trip was REALLY hard.
There was pooping until he worked out the soil tray.
There was hiding under the bed.
There was a LOT of cardboard tearing and mess. /13
i am taking a small break from mastodon to focus on my exams and therefore i will appear there less than usual, probably no more than once a day
i am also taking a mental break due to my loss
i will be back in the second half of may
so, punch the bigots, fuck the police, pride was a riot and fuck capitalism
and of course
take care of yourselves
Do you draw stuff? You're an artist.
Do you write stuff? You're a writer.
Do you photograph stuff? You're a photographer.
Your level of skill or competence in those fields don't matter, and it certainly doesn't matter whether or not you've been paid to do them. You don't need to say you're an 'aspiring' anything - you *are* the thing.
Do the thing. #WormsOfAffirmation

If youโve been on social media for longer than 38 seconds, then you know that you control what you see by muting terms and hashtags and muting, unfollowing or blocking people.

B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have โblood on their handsโ. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.
I'm with Joe and Kamala.
BECAUSE of Joe AND Kamala.
No ifs.
No ands.
No buts.
You might have noticed that I boosted a few---or maybe 50---toots about duly-elected Representative #ZooeyZephyr being censured, silenced and oppressed by the #Montana House today. For speaking truth to power. For protecting her constituents.
And I'll keep boosting those posts because everyone needs to pay attention to this story. This assault on #Democracy.
#Trans live matter. Right? Find a way to prove you believe that.
This is Authoritarianism
This is why

BREAKING: #transgender lawmaker #zooeyzephyr has been barred from the #montana House floor. She has been protesting #GOP leaders who silenced her after she spoke out about bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors
