#ActuallyAutistic, middle aged, down to earth, anxiety ridden, recovering people-pleaser/codependent, animal lover, pro choice, feminist, human rights, pandemic is still happening kinda gal. I like to read, write, play video games, walk/hike, foster cats/kittens and listen to podcasts that teach me stuff.

Woke up feeling hugely disappointed in all the people/doctors in my life, over 50+ years, that were just fine accepting the narrative that I was just a miserable, broken, hard to live with mess without any one digging deeper or even just really LISTENING to me and BELIEVING me...the clues were all there.

So. That's fun. But I can only assume this is one of the stages of acceptance/grief to a late in life diagnosis.

#ActuallyAutistic

It’s been two years. I still think of you every single day. I still sing to you, talk to you, and am happysad when Sammy brings me one of your favorite toys, crying to announce himself with the toy in his mouth (just like you did). Grandma talks to you and Walt at the tree where we buried a bit of each of you. Jessie still dreams of you. You are missed.

Did I ever share the article about #StudMuffinTheCat? I was the (foster to adopt) potential adopter mentioned in the article and leaving IG is especially hard bc he legit had a following there. 😻 https://coleandmarmalade.com/2018/10/04/cat-decides-life-on-the-streets-isnt-for-him-after-experiencing-love-from-his-rescuer/

Cat Decides Life On The Streets Isn't For Him After Experiencing Love From His Rescuer

The street life is not what all cats would choose if they had a say in the matter. For one tomcat that got a taste of the "good life" indoors, he clearly told his rescuers

Cole & Marmalade
My aunt up in Canada
sent me an article in which
someone angrily declared
“We can’t have
50,000 deaths
and not ask why,”
but down here in the states
we have had more
than a million deaths
and if you dare ask why
you get accused
of living in the past.
@MizzBassie The longer they are here and the sicker they were, the harder it is for me to give them back, for sure.

Annoucement for .art users: we've limited firefish.social and will be suspending in a week (edit: they have silenced Disqordia, https://firefish.social/notes/9hpa84jcdzyxyr1u), and the lead dev is interacting with a known anti-black harasser on that instance.

Full explanation in the post above.

I am not at all happy about this and I am really f'ing tired that people keep making space for racists. Just... ugh. Can you not? Do better, people.

@AutieScot Pedantic is the word that gets thrown at me, followed by grumblings about being “controlling” 🤣
@NorcalGma2 Those ears!! 🤣
I wrote about #KOSA, the very bad internet censorship bill making its way through the Senate, and what you can do to help stop it. Please share/subscribe/etc. https://www.readtpa.com/p/congress-is-about-to-pass-a-very
Congress is About to Pass a Very Bad Internet Bill. Here's How You Can Stop It.

The misleadingly named Kids Online Safety Act will censor the internet, not protect kids.

The Present Age
@IzabelaKaramia It helps to think of the cats that will die without the help of fosters…especially since I’m an experienced foster with background in the medical unit at a shelter. If someone like me wasn’t able to take these two on, they likely would have died. I need to focus on the next cats now that these can succeed without me. But. Yes. It’s hard. And yes. I went back and got #MaryKitty weeks after I turned her back in to the shelter. 🤣
