This sweet, sad marshmallow really needs a foster! Thumper is having a hard time at the shelter, often squishing himself into corners or under blankets to feel safer. He lost his home for the 2nd time in 2 years after his adopter became too ill to care for him & is so stressed he's barely eating 🧵

A Scooter who is very proud of himself for learning how to use the litterbox (more or less)! I know everyone would like updates on him, but basically the report is the same— doing great, fine tuning his diet & medication to keep his BM’s consistent, and he’s walking stronger & more stable every day!

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

The very affectionate & lovable Violet is now available for adoption! She still needs a short time to finish recovering from her spay, but we are ready to start taking applications for her. She is a sweet girl who is so grateful to be indoors after a hard life scraping by at a trailer park colony.

This is Toasted Marshmallow (Toasty). His adoption has fallen thru twice due to reasons unrelated to him. He's was feral until 8 weeks old so he's scared at first but once he warms up to you, he's the cuddliest cat in the world. He will need another playful cat to live with. 1/2

This is a courtesy post for our partner rescue. Sable has been available for adoption for a long time (2 years!) but the right home has never come along for her. She is very sweet, playful, bold and loves people, but she would just prefer to be an only cat. www.petfinder.com/cat/sable-76...

Sweet Chicory had an adoption that fell through (though it was neither his fault nor the people who applied for him). He has the best personality and is the sweetest boy. Is he the one for you? www.petfinder.com/cat/chicory-...

I believe that everyone should be allowed the space and time and opportunity to become who they truly are. I am sad that some people, given the space and time and opportunity, choose to be assholes.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Today’s Scooter update/recap comes in musical form :3 (Video description: a montage of clips of Scooter, a little black kitten who was hit by a car and paralyzed, chronicling his recovery and how he regained use of his legs and showing him progressing to walking, even running).

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

Now that we have kittens coming in, it’s a good time to remind you that we still have several good, deserving and lovely older kittens from last year who are still looking for their homes. Meet them at crits4cats.petfinder.com and apply to adopt! Located in Elkton, MD.

Massive boy NIKE has been here since December and NO adoption visits! How long does he have to wait in #Tucson? 7 year old Nike needs to be an only cat, but he will be your whole world. He is VERY playful and needs someone that can teach him boundaries. He's a GREAT cat!

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.
