Check out my list on Amazon

If anyone feels so inclined, we're up to over $1100 in vet bills since Oct. 8 with another appointment set for Oct. 28, plus the cost of insulin, syringes, and new food. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated! 😽

On the one hand, Nibbler actually decided to eat this morning so he could get his insulin shot after having to skip it last night for refusing to eat. On the other, he fought like hell when I gave him the shot, and I wound up with a few scratches and almost injected myself instead.

I need a nap...

My poor Nibbler kitty has diabetes. Now we're going to cuddle after his trauma that was the trip to the vet before I have to attempt to give him insulin for the first time later.

I feel like I might need to stock up on Neosporin and Band-Aids in the meantime...

"The officials who ruled [America], and got all the graft, had to be elected first; and so there were two rival sets of grafters, known as political parties, and the one got the office which bought the most votes." - The Jungle, Upton Sinclair

It's really sad just how relevant this book *still* is.

Aubrey inherits more than a houseβ€”she inherits a legacy of tragedy, secrets, & a chilling curse. In the haunting town of Rossdale, voices whisper, visions torment, & destiny calls.

A gothic suspense debut where the past won't stay buried, & the truth could be deadly. books2read.com/nothing-hidden

Tweet thread from @RyanFMandelbaum:

i am begging freelancers and remote workers to consider working at the library instead of a cafe 

why should you do that? because our libraries are being defunded and "quiet space to work" is one of the whole points of the library, which is free!! if there's no demand for the library then what ammo will they have against the gutting?

Quote from "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" by Douglas Adams:

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
