Melor loves belly rubs.

Very very very hard.

I have comments about the facilitation, but I will keep the peace.

Hard, but I will keep it.

Very hard.

CCHR has a much more strongly worded response.

"New research finds healthcare providers are prime promoters of the unproven theory, which influences the prescribing of antidepressants as treatment for depressed people."

Where do “chemical imbalance” beliefs come from? Evaluating the impact of different sources Although the etiology of depression is incredibly complex, the narrative that it is caused by a simple “chemical imbalance” persists in lay settings. We sought to understand where people are exposed to this explanation (i.e., the “source”), and the ...

Not a fan of "chemical imbalance causes depression", (sounds evidence-based, but it's not) but I am gonna pick my battles.

Interesting that Befrienders KL was set up as a direct response to the race riots of May 1969, to provide support to those grappling with the societal repercussions.

I wish we could talk more about inequality as a major driver of suicidal behaviour.

10am on a Saturday and I'm sitting in for a suicide prevention workshop.

Din is a young black kitten. He's pawing my hair.

Fluffy kittens.

Yahya is a mostly white kitten, but he has grey spots on his head and on his back.

Still thinking about the kittens I babysat a few days ago.

River eating breakfast out of a raised bowl.

River has been spending a lot of time out on the balcony.

shhh…just let it happen

- i say as i steal another one of your french fries

But then people will judge me for drinking Starbucks.

Melor and Taco sitting in front of the safety gate.

Purru is outdoors, playing with his stray cat friends, while these Taco and Melor are bonding indoors.

Giving Jack & the others access to the rest of the house. The mat in front of Taco's room is for his benefit, because he can't seem to walk past that room without being a hissing asshole.

Recorded live, over a decade ago, as part of an aborted attempt at recording all our material up to that point.

I wish we still had the raw tracks though.

It's been too long. Tones are a bit dated, but fwiw, I am still quite proud of this.

Taco's vocabulary has really expanded. He's got chirps, grunts and other sounds now.

Air biscuit factory.

User uploaded GIFs work now. Nais.

Managed to get her weight down to 7.5kg (weighed in January), but I have a feeling she's making up for it.

My physiotherapist might disagree, but cross that bridge yadayada

Probably shouldn't have stressed my shoulder today, but the fridge arrived and needed to be set up.

The juice is worth the squeeze.

River is a one eyed Calico cat. She has a mostly white body, with black and red spots on the top of her head, and on her tail. Some know this as Turkish Van markings.

River is the smallest of my original 5 indoor cats, so she has had to learn to be more strategic about manja time. She usually sneaks onto my table when the others are zonked out after stuffing their faces.

Bailey pausing between bites. She's having her dinner out on the balcony.

Melor looking up at me as I stroke her neck. Her one fang is exposed, a sign of her age.

Melor sitting on the floor in front of me. I'm cross-legged on the floor. Purru is behind me, purring. Taco is near us, watching Melor's twitching tail.

Melor loves to sit on the floor, right in front of me. She also expects belly rubs to be in abundance.

Purru, Taco and Melor chilling in the upstairs cat room.

Siesta.

Keeping the kitties behind their safety gates until the fridge is delivered.
