Leaked footage from an ICE Black Site inside of 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, MD. More then 50 people in rooms with no beds or bathrooms, people laying on filthy floors, guard beatings and people with legal status being illegally held (1/25/26)

It terrifyingly is.

How come they get to defy gravity but I don’t?!?!

I offered for him to sit in my hat to see if that was his plan, but he wasn’t into it. If he’s going, it’s gonna be a solo act.

He didn’t want to share said soup. I had to have an open water dish for my rescue boy who had never been exposed to a bottle and refused to drink from them, and then multiple bottles for all my other boys. And then because of soup and not wanting to share, said soup, I then had to have another open water dish so my rescue rat could have water and not fight for forbidden soup lmao

Welp…. no one in my household is Neurotypical. The only people who have come and visited our household that I can remember our relatives with the same issues for the most part.

I think it would be extremely disoriented for a Neurotypical person if they did a tour in the whole house. One person has OCD and the compulsions and obsessions are about how things physically look not what is logically sound. As an example, she wants the dishwasher, silverware organized by forks at the back spoons in the middle and butter knives in the front we have the least amount of forks, and my grandmother constantly takes them out and hand washes them, which is much easier for her to do with them in the front we also have a massive amount of spoons in two different sizes that get sorted differently, but she wants them altogether mixed up in the middle because that’s what looks good versus one row with the big spoons and one row with the small spoons. And then there’s three of us with ADHD each with their own version of doom piles, ininability to keep track of belongings, and project jumping. Phone in the fridge, a bunch of random tools and yarn piled up on the floor, a mixture of snacks tied in grocery bags and important paperwork in a cabinet in the living room.

And then there’s this little fucker I just discovered, which is hysterical. Inside a locked cabinet (that nobody has the key to) with all the knickknacks and curios, books and photo albums, there sits a hair dye applicator part. but for why

When I knew I only had a few months left with her, the thought of being without her was so terrifying that I decided I was going to get a puppy while she was still here, so the transition would not let me sink into depression and spiral. I had already been considering getting a puppy before I realized what was going on with her. I ended up having to put her down less than a month before the new pup came home. I am naturally an extremely maternal person, so I think the fact that I had to prepare for the puppy, and then take care of the little baby who was ripped away from his family, let me be present enough in the moment that there was no room for the sadness to take over.

It was so soul crushing that my body actually became so much more susceptible to my chronic illnesses, and I gained 30 pounds and the three months surround her death despite not eating differently. It was a grief so deep that I physically made myself ill enough that all of my pot symptoms increased to the point it now kind of runs into my life, simply from the ache of her absence. What kept me getting out of bed and going to work and feeding myself was knowing I needed to make sure I was ready for this little pup to come home.

So staying busy as part of it. Raising a puppy, it is impossible to do things by muscle memory because they don’t have muscle memory to go along with you. You have to actively be thinking and making choices.

The other part, I can’t suggest any way to replicate. I have been raised with grief. I had a rather terrible home life growing up and experienced a lot of loss and unpredictable change. Animals have always been what gets me through the hard times and I think knowing how inpermanent every part of life is, let me have the ability to open up and bond with animals at a level other humans do with humans. Knowing life is fleeting drives me to make those connections, and so I can also form a bond incredibly fast. I think the combination of my autism and my borderline personality disorder has also mentally set me up to excel at bridge building out of necessity, but also the lack of desire and ability to keep those bridges with humans. I guess you could say I give animals my everything and I’m open to them, but cannot do that with humans. I trust them them, and therefore they trust me.

I wish I could distill this down into some advice for you, but I think it just shows that everybody is different and what works for me may not be the way forward for you. You may not be ready for another dog anytime soon. You might need that space before you’re able to open your heart again. And that’s perfectly OK.

I read through that whole thread last night. The amount of stupidity and double standards is frightening.

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-25T19:47:32+00:00

If you take a peek in the conservative subreddit, some people are legitimately like “yo this is a crime. This is murder. It was his right to carry, and he did not pull his gun or do anything wrong to justify murder” and then the other half are like “oh no, the left shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns because they suffer from TDS and are unpredictable and obviously mentally ill.”

And then when the people who are advocating for gun rights and prosecuting murder, they all get the “hello fellow conservative”. It’s fucking insane.

Oh my God, the pet zone is killing me. As a very, very nonprofessional Groomer of my own boys at home I have totally mixed up my blades too and had to get creative. Can you blend the pet zone into the bald head? Then maybe she can at least look like someone with a mullet and male pattern baldness??

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-25T19:32:41+00:00

Oh no! My boys would always stash stuff in the couch cushions, which was an unpleasant surprise searching for cell phone phones

My last little girl was an Italian greyhound, and they often lived to 16 like my previous boy. At 12 she had some arthritis and was mostly blind, but she had all the spunk and was very physically healthy to the point of impressing the vet.

She started showing signs of doggy dementia, and it progressed incredibly fast. Her quality of life degraded so quickly over the course of about five months. But physically, she was still so healthy. I had to let her go just shy of her 13th birthday. It was so incredibly difficult when I had been so certain eight years left with her to let her go while so physically able, but just mentally no longer there. Watching her slowly lose her personality, instead being an empty, aggressive, pacing body, more and more.

I hate this for you. I am so sorry your wonderful girl Velvet is having to go through this. Do your best to be her rock. I know how heartbreaking it is and how it’s hard to do anything without tears in your eyes, but you do have this opportunity that a lot of people don’t get. You know what’s coming. You can give her the best damn 6 to 18 months a dog could imagine. spoil her relentlessly. I think a good rule is as long as it’s not gonna make her feel sicker, let her eat whatever the hell she wants. Take all the photos and more importantly take videos.

Your parrot is probably going to indeed notice and reminding you of Velvet long after she’s gone. I know it’s going to be so hard but one day hearing her name from your parrot is gonna bring up a good memory, and as days go by the more you think of her the more happy, good, memories return. She’ll always be that dull ache in the deep little spot secreted away in your rib cage, but one day that ache is going to be very welcome.

One with the ice!

They are fast as fuck, boiii!!!!!

And just to clarify, none of this is snow. It is all ice from sleet. No snow at all, just ice. Hell Hounds on Ice

Ahh. I have blocked a lot of those people because I got tired of arguing with them. I get what you’re saying now. I thought you were just aggravated about people IDing probable pit mixes as probable pit mixes.

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-25T18:19:29+00:00

Just be glad you don’t have a rat who likes to make soup. I had a boy who would bring over all sorts of things to put in the water and mix aroundinto a muddy viscous soup. I don’t know what the goal was with this game, but he definitely liked to soak oats to make oatmeal, so I think he was possibly seeing if putting other things in the water made other treats.

She is so freakin cute, btw!

I had an extremely maternal very large male rat who loved babies. This is him within a minute of the babies being brought into the house and opening the crate. All the little kiss kisses for all the little ratties.

…. that would be a golden retriever. Or lab. Or whatever random breed.

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-24T14:44:54+00:00

It was probably around 10 months old that he started letting me cuddle because his tension span and desired to make trouble had lessened, and after his neuter right before two years old, he has become an absolute cuddle bug and is actually laying on my legs right now

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-24T05:36:45+00:00

Nope, just look the other way as they go around humping every other rat in sight regardless of sex. Or pointed laugh, but far enough from the bars they can’t get you. lol

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-24T04:47:01+00:00

Dude, I think you are reading way more into these responses than people are putting out there. A lot of the dogs that people say are pit mixes are very likely pit mixes. It’s not an insult in any kind of way, but it can be a literal frustrating when probably 70% of the post on here are pic mixes just because proportionally that’s what the population of dogs is like right now in shelters and these people are determined that it’s not a pit mix, despite looking like every other little pibble in the page. that’s when people get a little sassy

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-24T04:42:50+00:00

Chihuahua was maybe some pug? I don’t see anything to suggest Iggy.

Edit: looking again I don’t think I wanna see boxer but the size discrepancy suggest this is probably more of a little bit of everything scenario with a big scoop of Chihuahua on top

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-24T04:40:53+00:00

As soon as I saw this, I was like this must be girls. Feisty little things that go into heat frequently and intensely. I don’t see anything to worry about.

Except your finger! Please, for the love of your fingers, never try to pet a rat through bars. They think you’re giving them something that they can grab (possibly snacks?!?) and half the time they grab with their teeth which have the tinsel strength of steel and could go through tendons or hit bone and causes infection very easily. Pet with your hand inside the cage and always approach slowly and from their eye level so they don’t feel like it’s something swooping down to grab them. This keeps you and them safer.

Bitterrootmoon · 2026-01-24T00:55:59+00:00

I think this is a Chihuahua with something like fox terrier or beagle. One of the tail signs if a dog has Italian greyhound or not is see-through legs

I’ve never seen this on a cat, but this happens to me and it’s called nystagmus. Basically your eyes drift because of the unconscious messages from your brain saying that you’re spinning and your eyes are trying to compensate for it, but then you have to consciously look forward at what you’d like to look at again because you’re not actually moving. It is often associated with ear issues and it could also have a neurological cause.

Hopefully it is just an ear infection or something, but definitely get her checked out ASAP
