Beef or Disco, a not-cis cracker

💚 It almost certainly will. The only slight anxiety I have about the surgery itself is the possibility that I will have to have a catheter after, which is like a nightmare to me, but that seems pretty unlikely all in all.

Also, to be clear, this is a very very low-risk surgery that is minimally invasive and has a really high success rate. It should reasonably fully stop the bleeding causing my (extreme) anemia. It has just a week or two recovery and that’s only because of adjacent muscle tension.

Surgery scheduled for January.

Not looking for any particular thoughts or well-wishes except those for it to not be rescheduled. I have so much anxiety about that now. I just want it done.

The term “bucket list” absolutely existed and was in colloquial use in some groups before the 2007 film. It may not have been widely popular but there *is* recorded use from many years before 2007 and the film did not come up with it.

Maggie, a smaller English cream golden retriever, in her Halloween outfit; a frilly pink and purple tutu-style skirt and a purple Halloween patterned bandana, sitting in the kitchen.

Baxter, a tricolor corgi, and Rudy, a large English cream golden retriever, having a posturing fight at each other in their Halloween outfits. Baxter had on bat wings and an orange Halloween patterned bandana as he faces away from the camera between the living room and kitchen. Rudy is mid-bark wearing a saddle with a small stuffed cowboy and a black Halloween patterned bandana.

All three dogs in the kitchen: Baxter as a bat in the background, Rudy with his saddle and cowboy on the right, and Maggie with her tutu in the lower left.

Maggie’s original costume, which included a tiny silver crown. She did not like the crown. Rudy’s nose is visible at the bottom of the frame because he always wants to be wherever the attention is.

We had only one Rumi show up for candy last night and tbh I feel a little cheated

The only problem we’re having is getting her to let us know when she needs to go out. She tends to just think the rug in the living room is an acceptable bathroom if she isn’t let out when she needs it… not helped by some digestive upset she’s had.

All in all though, she is SUCH a good dog. 💚

He did just body slam her pretty hard (he was in a full on zoom and she thought they could play but he weights almost thirty pounds more than her and had no intention of slowing down) but I was there to check on her and I think she’s okay.

She’s also getting along pretty well with Rudy and Baxter! Baxter has allowed her close since day one, and I think appreciates that Rudy’s attention is a little more split. Rudy did try to nurse off her once and is still testing boundaries but she knows how to get him to stop.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Two humorous social media posts about cats believing their owners can control nature, like rain and sunlight. Transcribed Text: Feline_Tales My cats have this meow that means “please come with me to fix this” after which they’ll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or ‘empty’) food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the ‘problem’, they look back at me, clear message. What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my ‘power.’ I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. “Please fix this” they say. “Please get rid of the wet” “Silly kitty,” I say, “I can’t control the rain.” I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain. purrfect_logic I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that. But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he’s fairly certain I’m just not applying myself properly here.

the reality is that a minimum of 50% of republicans would be overjoyed to let 1/5 of the american population starve if it meant they’d pay $20 less on their annual taxes

I might be becoming a conspiracy theorist but Yu Menglong was DEFINITELY murdered and the government of China DEFINITELY bears direct responsibility for enabling the murder and orchestrating the coverup.

#JusticeForYuMenglong #为于朦胧讨回公道 #為于朦朧討回公道

And they WILL and DO break the law. They are known to get unscrupulous civil servants who will refuse to provide accurate legal information that they are by law required to give to citizens.

the crisis pregnancy center and the gender counselor who will keep you in conversation forever are the same model. they do not want you to know they aren't real care providers and that their goal is to get in your way

Dems need to start talking today about preventing Trump from running for a third term and explicitly start saying to the press that they don't think Rubio and Vance should have to wait until 2032 because Trump is a megalomaniac.

Its time to make Trump believe he has enemies in his own house.

be nice to the scarecrow and he’ll have your back

If you’re currently lost in a corn maze, your best bet is going to be hunkering down for the night

maga world influencers are once again screaming themselves hoarse about sharia law and i’m reminded of the time an islamophobic lobby org outsourced their anti-sharia protests to literal neo nazis. same as it ever was, i guess.

I was thinking HR employee who just got told “I BARELY punched her ass”

Screenshot of headline reading: Measles spreading beyond the center of the Utah-Arizona outbreak Cases are now popping up in more touristy areas of Utah, according to a health official.

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000.

RFK Jr. must resign.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Bob Vylan hit back at “scare tactic” of British Airways dropping sponsorship of Louis Theroux podcast "Their hope to further vilify me couldn’t run, so they target Louis to make an example for sitting with me"

Louis Theroux has interviewed actual nazis but apparently an anti-genocide musician was the breaking point

Seriously though.

They did as bad a job covering up Yu Menglong’s murder as the cops in Boston did framing Karen Read.
