Seeing discussion about Tom Holland & British museum, & people being mad (rightfully I feel). If you are as confused about this as I: two diff Tom Hollands, I give you this brief:

1: author, Islamophobe, and not really a historian

2: actor, and arguably pretty awesome as far as I can tell?

I know many universities are asking folks not to speak to reporters on the record.

If you have need for someone who will be effing glad to speak on the record, DM me!

🙏

If you're in the US, considering Europe for your PhD, and you identify as a minority, I will chat with you and review any application documents you need 🧪

I know the feeling. For me it’s the east coast equivalent and I miss my home in the western Maine mountains

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

Update on Charci! Bloodwork done and beautiful. No redflags pointing to FIP, she’s not anemic, and no pressure on the eye so she won’t have to lose it at this time. FIV/FeLV- but her blood coagulates quickly. She has started exploring the house in small doses and nothing slows her down

Image of a tortoiseshell / tabby kitten looking at the camera. Right eye is solid cataract while left eye is almost not visible from either rupture or malformation. Right ear is smaller and more teddy bear like while left ear is fully formed. She is in a stainless steel shoreline kennel with a green plush blanket and a litter box with pine pellets inside

I’ve been really bad at social media since starting my job at animal control, but I wanted to share my new foster Charci with you! She is blind, might be able to tell light/dark and is only about 3 months old. Bloodwork today postponed due to fever, will try again later next week

Legit was thinking this. Like, recline the front seat and let him have a nice lie dow for the trip. Prop with pillows to protect wings

A picture of pink lilies with a giant black X over them.

It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!

If you like this cutie I offer it as a holographic print in my shop :3c

DID SOMEONE BRING UP A FOLK SONG anyway yes hi welcome to one of my special interests. The lyrics as collected by Child appear to be originally linked to a song called "The Elfin Knight" in which a fuckboi of an elf says he's gonna kidnap a woman unless she performs some impossible tasks. BUT!

I would like to take a moment to remind people that there are reasons besides ableism that people don't always include alt-text. Some of those reasons are medical. Punishing people for not being able to type out words all the time is also ableism. In 2024, please unlearn absolutism.

I made holiday themed bio cards for the stray kittens I need to find homes for, and I know there’s effectively zero chance it’ll be through Bluesky, but they’re adorable and I want to show them to you

Conservation photography is so vital.

It works great! I’m in animal control, and I discovered Sheba kitten when I had a runt refuse Hills AD. I basically bought some of all the kitten pate I could find locally and it was the only thing she’d eat

I love this. At work we’ve been using Sheba kitten, churu, and if they’re really persnickety KMR added in on top

I’m in absolute love with the paisley one, glad (but also sad) it sold before I saw it

We’re all just specialized ichthyologists anyway

Attention Bluesky: please meet my parents’ Parrot Bathroom
