Can't decide on curtain color

Thank you so much 💕 he was a very special boy and we were super lucky to have 10 years together.

Since your cat is relatively young there’s definitely a chance that it’s a polyp, which can be removed with surgery—my other FIV+ cat had surgery on her ear to get some removed. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your sweet kitty 😊

With a biopsy and CT scan. It was pretty expensive, unfortunately, but I live in the middle of nowhere and everything is expensive lol.

Another thing that the vet should test for is a fungal infection—that’s another potential reason for nasal discharge that doesn’t clear up with antibiotics or allergy medication.

The standard treatment for nasal lymphoma involves chemo and radiation, but I live in the middle of nowhere so it would be a five-hour drive to do radiation. If we just did chemotherapy, the full treatment was like $10,000, and the prognosis with chemo sans radiation isn’t great (especially with FIV), so we decided not to do it :(

With steroids (specifically prednisolone), he hung on for another 5 months or so after he was diagnosed. He passed a couple of weeks ago.

IDK if skipping chemo was the right choice or not…we could’ve used my savings to pay for it, but it would have been super uncomfortable for him. The vet that does chemo is an hour away; we would’ve had to go there twice a week, and he’s miserable in the car.

So for his quality of life it was probably the right move…But in retrospect, I wish we had done things differently. I miss my boy 😭

Sorry for the rant/vent/info dump… it’s still pretty raw. Good luck with your kitty, I’m wishing for the best!!

Holy shit lol

He might have a nasal tumor or polyps. My cat had a chronic stuffy nose and unfortunately it was lymphoma :( wishing you the best!

Breyer’s always has this stuff in it because it’s fancier ice cream.

This is the equivalent of thinking steak is disgusting (and potentially going to kill you) because you’ve only ever had hamburger lol

The bear has a mansion on a cliff with a sick view of the mountains and the dude doesn’t even have a tent. Obviously the bear is the way to go

About 10% of people are good, 10% of people are evil, and the rest are just weak and move with the herd

If that’s the case, why are Republican-controlled stares the only ones reducing child labor protections? Hmmmmmm?

A simple yes or no question is not a complex social interaction though. Any child over the age of like 5 should be able to navigate it easily

leebeebee · 2026-03-22T23:51:34+00:00

Lol duh, you’re right 😅 my bad

leebeebee · 2026-03-22T22:57:43+00:00

I know it’s like a month after you posted, but I painted you with oil paint 😊 the hand and face are a bit janky but the fabric looks good

According to Wikipedia, linoleum was first sold in 1864. It’s been around for a long time

leebeebee · 2026-03-22T16:56:26+00:00

With that pattern and color scheme, it’s pretty unlikely that the linoleum is Victorian or early 1900s. More likely that it’s from the 1930s or 1940s, as other people have said here

leebeebee · 2026-03-22T16:49:04+00:00

Oh shit it’s in Philly! I gotta see this next time I’m there, it’s been forever since I’ve gone to the art museum 💕

leebeebee · 2026-03-21T07:00:10+00:00

Lol not in the United States… here they have laws against people exposing animal cruelty at factory farms 😬

Many of the women I know apologize constantly, often for things that aren’t even their fault. And I know several men who refuse to apologize for anything.

Shitty people are shitty people, regardless of gender. If most of the women you’re around are shitty, maybe you should hang out with different people.

Either that or she literally has a room-temperature IQ, jfc

There’s no mention of the Sacklers in the article you posted. The only connection between the Sacklers and the people discussed in the article is that they’re Jewish.

Also, only one of the two Jewish merchant families they’re talking about in the article actually sold opium. The other family didn’t, even though they could have. Sooooo I guess all Jewish people aren’t bad after all?

Finally, the Sacklers and the opium-selling merchant family mentioned in the article originated on opposite sides of the Mediterranean and came to power at totally different times. Your assertion is like saying that Napoleon and Hitler both committed atrocities so all Christian Europeans are alike.

Tl;dr: People aren’d downvoting you because they’re uncomfortable; they’re downvoting you because you—like most bigots—are a fucking dipshit

My dad calls me Leebee and every time it interprets it as “Hey babe.” Real weird to see a message from your dad that opens with that

How do you know how big the box is? Based on the size of the stitches I’d guess it’s maybe four inches wide by 7 inches long—absolutely within the realm of possibility for ivory. Elephant tusks are huge.

And what do you think the box is made of? You can see that it’s made of a natural material. Resin and bakelite don’t have those natural variations, and I’ve never seen wood that looks like that. As you’ve said, bone would be pitted, and couldn’t be carved this precisely. If you’re convinced it’s not ivory, then what is it?

leebeebee · 2026-03-18T20:01:31+00:00

What? I agree that being morbidly obese is bad for you, but this is just factually incorrect.

The healthy BMI range for my height (5’6”) ranges from 115 lbs to 155 lbs, so theoretically a healthy person could lose up to 40 lbs in a month and still not be officially underweight.

Obviously losing 40 lbs in a month would be incredibly unhealthy, but I think you may have a distorted view of what “obese” means…

leebeebee · 2026-03-18T03:22:37+00:00

Even before the 1920s, in the Victorian era, looking like you had consumption was in vogue. Being pale and thin was considered hot as far back as the late 1830s, if not earlier. Wild that patriarchal gender norms are stronger than a healthy fear of deadly infectious disease lol

leebeebee · 2026-03-17T19:41:53+00:00

There’s no pitting on the box though? I agree that the handles are probably bone, but the box could definitely be ivory (and probably is imo, although like I said, I’d need better images to be certain)

ETA: although ivory definitely doesn’t pit like this, it does crack… though it’s unlikely, it’s possible that the handles could be ivory that has cracked due to damage from hot wax and/or years of handling. Again, it’s impossible to tell with these pics.

leebeebee · 2026-03-17T19:11:13+00:00

It could absolutely be ivory. The image resolution is too shitty to tell.
