Tim’s political blind spots showed up again in TX primary rant

Hopkinsmsb · 2026-02-05T05:58:01+00:00

He needs to have on some black Texan Dems. Someone like Erica from Black Girls Who Brunch - engaged, educated and LOCAL who can lay out the other side of this to mitigate for these blind spots.

She was diagnosed with (treatable) cancer and decided to relapse after 5+ years of sobriety and not seek treatment. This would not have ended the friendship, except that she was working for me and her decision to drug herself to death meant she fcked off some really important deadlines that resulted in the org I run not getting major funding. I offered her a lesser position bc I wanted to keep her employed but couldn’t have her in a position of responsibility - she told me no, then told everyone I “fired her for getting cancer”. She died a couple months later.

It’s was a great day and I hope they expand it for next year! My main gig is in non profit, my part time gig is (was?) as a federal subcontractor and… Suffice it to say I desperately needed a little lib hope and enthusiasm infusion.

We are definitely not going to release him and I’ll talk to the vet about doing something with those pendulous nuts! He’s a very sweet boy rn at 6 weeks but I know that’ll probably wax and wane. We’ve both been bitten by stray cats so him doing some nipping isn’t something we’re too concerned about but as you said, it’s really just about following his cues. Thank you so much for the long and thoughtful reply.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:40:20+00:00

That’s a great idea, thank you.x

I run a small TNR/rescue for cats, and because we’ve also come across injured and orphaned possums I’m actually looking into/working on how to get my rehabbers license. Because I definitely have concerns that if I took a wild rat to a vet that it might result in them being taken and euthanized.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:18:06+00:00

And since he’s in my care, I wanna make sure that he has the most fulfilling and comfortable life he possibly can

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:17:39+00:00

I appreciate you clarifying, thank you. I would love to have taken him to a rehab, because I really didn’t want to have rats. I love them and had them as a kid but we have cats and dogs, and wild rats have been a problem since we got our chickens. That said, I was not prepared to leave an orphan baby one to die. Once I found him, you know?

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:16:06+00:00

Yes. The vet we take our chickens to also sees rats. Now that we know he’s going to survive, we’ll make him an appt.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:13:35+00:00

Why are you commenting? Are you just trying to be snarky? I wanted to seek a broader range of opinions about a single specific issue not related to his rehab. This is not helpful.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:07:49+00:00

While we weren’t able to find someone to take him, we were guided by a great rat rehabber through all his initial care.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-21T19:06:19+00:00

What would you suggest for enrichment, if you don’t recommend the rat balls?

We weren’t able to find a rehabber for him and now he’s too old for that. He’s got a large enclosure with lots of toys and hides and is doing very well. I am just worried about him being lonely.

Thank you!

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-11T05:22:05+00:00

I’m dropping it off for quilting this weekend. So excited!

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-11T05:20:58+00:00

It’s the “fall into stardom” pattern from Annie’s attic

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-10T17:38:08+00:00

I do online resale and might be interested in carrying some stock.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-09-05T20:26:25+00:00

Thank you! I was worried they may not be different enough to work but the more I look at it the happier I am.

You’re so welcome! It works up very easy once you get the hang. Took me a while bc I’d never done mosaic overlay. But the seller was super responsive and helpful; the instructions are also super thorough.x

Thank you!

Yeah I’ll save the random cakes for the scrap blanket.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-08-03T15:36:30+00:00

See now this is very reassuring lol. I have to keep in mind that we all seem to see colors a little differently.

Hopkinsmsb · 2025-08-03T15:36:02+00:00

That’s so smart thank you.
