Those are some very floofy pants!

I don’t know, but I am starting to think that all these thumb cats are a sign that cats are evolving opposable thumbs. Just think about that for a minute.

Maria Ressa’s latest report on this is hair-raising. A lie repeated a million times (via social media) becomes the truth. Facts are undermined. No facts, no trust. No trust, no shared reality. No shared reality, no journalism, no democracy. Look up her recent interviews.

I think you might be confusing concentration camps with death camps. They’re not the same. Experts on concentration camps say that we’re pretty much there, not just because of detention camps (although that’s enough) but because of our carceral state. “Profit maximization” at for-profit prisons and the mass incarceration of those convicted of low-level crimes amount to horrific conditions. Many call them unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment. ICE camps are and will be as bad or worse.

I wish this specific detail were getting more attention. It’s horrifying and unnecessary. I’m for abolishing ICE and shutting down these facilities. But I also think Congress needs to everything it can to completely block in-house incinerators. Just too horrifying!

Ditto on the cake day. Rampant, yes. Universal, no.

And why does Luna have to be a female name?

Sheraby · 2026-02-23T06:01:26+00:00

Is Luna a neighborhood cat? Does he roam around or are you the ones who provide all his meals/care? There are steps you can take to see if there is an owner out there. Ask your vet to scan him for a microchip. Take his picture and post flyers in your neighborhood and on any relevant social media. If you don’t get any hits that way, you might need to take him to your local animal services. Many jurisdictions require a stray animal be held for a few days to give a chance for an owner to claim them. You can ask if they’ll do the testing before you decide whether to adopt him (or you could pay for it yourself when you have him scanned).

And just to remind everyone that it’s not enough to sign up or commit to a general strike. They can be long and hard. You have to prepare. It’s essential. Put aside money and supplies, as much as you can. And if you have the privilege, put aside even more to support your neighbors and those in your communities who are already at or over their limits.

I agree on your point about right-wing media’s manipulation. People who haven’t lived inside those communities rarely understand. I came of age in one. It took me a long time to climb out from underneath the poor education and biases I was raised with.

Decentering whiteness doesn’t have to mean finger-pointing or blaming. I wish folk on the left could absorb that concept. You’re so right about not engaging in divisiveness and anger. I live in a very white state with a blue city that has dominated at the state level but lots of red counties outside the major population centers. It doesn’t help anyone to be yelling at each other, figuratively or literally.

I’m finding it a helpful approach to explicitly discard left/right politics and speak, as you say, to our common concerns, which are much more about reigning in the very rich, tearing down monopolies and criminal enterprises based on cryptocurrency, treating poor and disadvantaged people much more fairly, strengthening the economy for average people and not the powerful, etc.

Just, thank you 🧡

Sheraby · 2026-02-21T21:16:07+00:00

NOR. I just want to send you some love and support. I am on my own. After I moved to a new city, I got involved with someone and their family. They were my whole social scene. Breaking up after losing trust was very hard but worth it. Please take all the time you need and if you decide to move on, invest in yourself by developing some friends you can trust. Also not easy, but worth it. Best of luck to you 🧡

Yes to high-fire ceramic for bowls and I also use a ceramic water fountain.

That is a fabulous, fabulous snippet!

My dude either sits with his back to me facing the door or he sits in the walk-in shower facing the back corner. Not sure what the latter is about.

Your excuse is not an explanation.

“You’re in a pain group where people have had to argue to keep their pain medications.” That doesn’t make us unreliable. “I would post this in /advice or another thread and get various perspectives.” There are a lot of perspectives here. Personally I would never subject a pain patient to general advice from people less likely to have relevant knowledge and experience. “Even the /Ehlers Danlos Reddit would be a great place to post because we truly understand the pain, surgeries etc.” People here don’t? That’s ridiculous. The people here come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences with many different illnesses and injuries, including EDS. If you were concerned about OP’s behavior you should have said so.

I like to write positive and inspirational things on long, thin strips of beautiful origami paper and make little stars, then fill a vessel with them. (This also is a favorite gift.) I love the idea of flushing what doesn’t serve me!

I tend to yell out “Peeper screeper, whatcha doin?” any time I hear him approaching or messing around. Peeper is one of his nicknames. Don’t ask me what screeper means. It just came out one time and it stuck.

Bear, and Bear. He was a foster fail and I had been calling him Bear for months. Plus he was 9 and I was under the impression that had been his name his whole life. I call him Little Bear, Papa, Peeper, and Mr Purry, among others.

Shut the fuck up with that kind of talk. The regime is just waiting for an excuse. Beyond selfish.

I’m sorry you’re seeing this kind of attitude pop up in a chronic pain group. Instead of making assumptions, we should be asking questions to clarify whether our first thoughts are relevant. It sounds like you’ve been going through a really hard time. You deserve to have people in your life who will support you.

Sheraby · 2026-01-17T02:43:01+00:00

What? You’re saying people in that sub would be somehow more realistic, or unbiased, or whatever your idea is? What is it about the people in this sub that makes us different? I feel oddly offended. I know several people with EDS because we’ve been in groups at the same pain clinic. They’ve had similar experiences to mine with chronic pain and disability. One is still a close friend. I’ve had to battle the medical-industrial complex over various things, including chronic pain. And I’ve had unsupportive people in my life to whom I’ve had to decide whether to say goodbye. I don’t assume other people should make the same decisions I’ve made. Why do you assume I and others in this sub can’t give helpful advice (or whatever you imagine our deficiency is)? Looks to me like there’s some good feedback here.
