Hello everyone,

My kitty needs diagnostic surgery!!

Jasper, my 8 year old tabby cat has dangerously elevated liver levels that continue to rise. We have spent thousands on bloodwork, antibiotics, xrays and an ultrasound with no definitive diagnosis. The last step is to do a GI and Liver biopsy, which requires an expensive surgery. The deposit is $4,200 USD with the final estimate between $4400-$5800 USD. There are many different reasons his levels may be elevated, each with a very different treatment plan. That being said, any treatment without this biopsy is a shot in the dark, and unlikely to help his condition.

Anything you can give helps. Please consider donating or sharing, as he will continue to go untreated until a prognosis can be made.

Thank you for reading ❤️‍🩹

Holy crap! I didn't know they were international too! I'm going to find a fundraiser near me if possible. (Northern Virginia, about an hour outside of Washington DC.)

People should make more doomed by narratives siblings relationship.

Like with lovers you can just sever it and not have it related to you ever again but with siblings how could you?

You grow up with them you raise them or they raised you you both know how unforgiving the world is to both of you? You would die for them but will hate them for doing the same and yet none of you would regret it and both of you know it. They could be the person you loath the most and miss the most cause you still remember how they sneaked a candy into your hands. You can sever the tie but you can never look away at what you've lost, at whom you've lost because fate doesn't allow you to be together, eating dinners in quiet peace, if only there's another life, another time, where i can make you another plate of pancakes i would im sorry im sorry im sorry —

Honestly I don’t think Mai would ever date Aang because her standards and boundaries are stronger than that. Aang would probably go crawling back to someone like Meng who would stroke his ego constantly and tell him how special he is

We have wildly different views of Mai. I don't think they would stay together, but I could see Mai being bored enough to date Aang for a while. Especially if he had enough money to buy her things and she could get special treatment as the Avatar's Girlfriend. I could see Aang being intimidated enough by her to at least keep his flirtations with his fans at least discrete. Mai would probably not stroke his ego the way his fans do, or coddle him the way Katara did, but I think she would encourage the selfish, short-sighted part of him in a way that would make him feel like he was actually making grown up decisions for himself, when in reality, he's just being manipulated by Mai's subtle digs about his maturity and manhood, and being a flashy show off to prove a point.

Let me be perfectly clear here. They would not be good together. At all. But they would be interesting while they lasted at least. They are a reality show couple waiting to happen.

What is the “Wayback Machine” that you mentioned bey ??

The Wayback Machine is an archiving crawler tool designed and hosted by The Internet Archive to document sites throughout their lifetime. It's not 100% reliable as how often a site gets crawled typically comes down to how frequently it updates and / or how much it's visited (and it doesn't store images / videos as well as just general text), but it's often what I use for my own research and investigating when I need to access information that may no longer be available on live sites (like old blogs, galleries, news articles, etc.) It's definitely my go-to when I need to go on my rabbithole dives, for better and for worse LOL

Since there's a wave of panic on my dash about Tumblr going under, here's a reminder that our best chance of stopping (or at least delaying) that from happening is to buy ad-free subscriptions, checkmarks, and other badges from the TumblrMart.

So if you're worried about the future of this blue hellsite, maybe check out the selection and get yourself a fun badge, or whatever. Badges start from $4/€3.75. You can also gift them to a beloved mutual if you don't want them for yourself.

That is all!

Harvey's launched a new website featuring merch and collectibles, including a holiday-themed WWDITS piece that's available in various formats, with a portion of the proceeds going to support research on Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), a rare blood disorder.

Plus, in classic Harvey fashion, the website features a stunning collection of photos!

My family is losing our home. I have no choice but to leave and go to college. I don't qualify for an apartment because of my terrible credit (thanks to student loans). All I am asking is for help staying above water. I need money to help me pay for hotel rooms, classes, food, travel, etc. Anything helps! Even if it's $20.

rambling

i think there's a dunning kruger effect sorta thing happening with a lot of people in circles like the one ive cultivated here, but specifically relating to the characteristic of "being fucked up" as opposed to competence

it sucks because, yknow, i really feel at home with other fucked up people. there's a mutual understanding there that neither of us are holy, so you don't judge me, and i don't judge you. there are no taboos, there is no moral indignation, you don't have to censor your thoughts, there's a solid understanding of the difference between thought and action, neither of you are your past, etc. it's genuinely freeing not having to deal with the usual social rules that get you shunned for being a weirdo lol

and then hardcore george walks in and signals desperately with every fiber of his person that he, too, is fucked up. so you sort of take him at his word, because you have no reason not to - but oh snap, you're being lured into a false sense of security. because the moment you say anything remotely out of the ordinary, or behave in a way that's slightly eccentric, hardcore george starts blurting the same moral indignation you'd expect from a nun, and immediately decides you're too degenerate and probably dangerous. so you ask him in what way he is fucked up, and he says he eats cereal with water instead of milk. and while that is atypical, it's not exactly the sort of lifestyle that recontextualizes your view of what counts as "extreme" or "out there" - he just dipped his toes lightly into something unusual, and now thinks he's a maverick. this is hyperbole, but i hope you get what i mean. it's dunning kruger for being fucked up, right

a lot of people who market themselves as hardcore and fucked up are, to put it very bluntly, very average people, who despite their constant show of apathy will treat outcasts with the same disgust shown by everybody else - while somehow having convinced themselves, in their tiny little noodle brains, that they themselves are the outcasts. and i know it's not a competition, it's not a race to be the most fucked up or whatever, that's not the point. i'm just being pissy about how "being fucked up" has somehow been aesthetisized to the point where two thirds of the people you think are gonna be cool about stuff thats a bit out there, are not actually cool about it whatsoever

sorry things are not good at the moment, and I hope you will get through this ok.

I'm paraphrasing a bit, but aiui you see Pharma as very much inclined not to explain the reasoning for his choices. What effect do you think that had/has on the other medics there, either in terms of their responses to what went on at the time or later?

(Inspired particularly by the context of The Wicked)

Honestly, I think Pharma's inability to tell people when something's up with him is unfortunately why he got rejected by his Autobot buddies so bad. I mean, ignoring the really bad implications, it seems to me like in Pharma's efforts to be restrained/professional/composed, he mostly comes off as cold. So if Pharma comes off to most people as just a cold professional, I suppose it makes sense why they heard about him being blackmailed by the DJD and just assumed Pharma was chill being a traitor and killing people? Aid/Ambulon/Ratchet/etc just like. Forgot that Pharma is a person with emotions and assumed that clearly, since Pharma is always in control of himself and always knows what he's doing, that must mean that when he worked with the DJD it was purposeful (in the sense of being willing).

Sucks too, bc in my personal headcanon the reason Pharma is so uptight and focused on a professional persona in the first place is related to social anxiety and an oppressed background. So in the process of Pharma constructing this professional persona so that other people respect and value him, it was that same persona that also made people assume he just had no emotions at all, so it was easy for them to assume the worst of him.

don’t crucify me cause i like destiel well enough but some of the fans are letting ur desperation blind you. is it not insanely obvious from jensen’s little speech that he thinks there’s nothing to resolve because everything’s been SAID. him saying it’s all in the text is him saying that cas has confessed his (romantic) love confession and that dean doesn’t need to confess anything back because he doesn’t Have anything (romantic) to say back. i don’t agree w him but that’s what he’s trying to say pls actually listen to the words. if we get s16 destiel is not happening they won’t even talk about the confession it’ll just continue on like nothing happened

i don't want to seem like i'm pandering or something but i feel like in light of criticism from palestinian tumblr users (and only them – not the hate anyone's been receiving) about fundraising for the renewal, maybe we could come together and do another fundraiser for palestine children's relief or something? or maybe a free palestine billboard or something?

i think with as much eyes on us as this and everyone being whipped up into a frenzy and wanting to help, or if people are just feeling charitable, if we could do some good alongside working for our renewal that would be really cool and nice :) twitter already fundraised for the ad campaign, maybe we could do this over here? in a dream world it would be cool if we matched donations to the ad campaign but i get that's probably not possible a second time round.

Oh absolutely! There's a lot of momentum going around, so it does seem like a particularly great time to support. And like I've seen a few others mention, sending emails, calling customer service reps, and writing letters goes hand in hand with relief support as well! It's great practice for contacting representatives and politicians. So there's good energy abound!

And I think you're in luck, anon; the same organizers who hosted OurFlagForPalestine seem to be readying themselves for another fundraising effort! <3
