my cat died two weeks and two days ago. I'm not okay with it, she was my best friend, her and her sister kept me alive through one of my hardest struggles. She wasn't sick, she wasn't old, she was so healthy, so happy and so beautiful, she just died. It's not talked about often enough how often this occurs with cats. How they can be completely healthy and then die without warning. Cardiomyopathy and lung clots are huge cause of concern in felines and I knew this, infact I often said I was prepared for this to happen to one of my cats... I was infact not prepared. I work in vet med, I live close to my office. We were closed that day, I had just been petting her, she was sitting her spot and I went to my bedroom heard a loud sound and my partner went to see what it was, she screamed and said something was wrong with pennywise, she was unresponsive. Everything I knew about vet med went out the window all I could muster up was call my vet, and then I finally started CPR, no shoes on I ran out the house we rushed her to office still continuing CPR, she was gone and I knew it, but i tried. I'm so traumatized I don't even know if I want to continue to work in vet med, I was so unprepared for my own pet. I froze. It doesn't happen like that at work but, nothing prepared you for your own pet.

Pennywise was the best cat. I got her when I lived in Florida, she was dumped under a dumpster, I begged and pleaded with my ex for this cat, she was my dream cat. Id always wanted a dark grey/blue cat and I finally got her. My ex left not long after, but the way she left was a mess, I'm at work with no vehicle, my phone had broke a few days prior, we had just deposited my check I was the only one working, rent was due, she left while I was at work, took all the money, left the apartment broken, took a cat, left me with no cat food or litter, she didn't just leave she did so in the most toxic way, taking one couch cushion and changing all the times on the clocks. It was awful, and I did not want to be alive but her and grim sitting in my lap purring away, I realized I was all they had, all they loved. So I stayed alive for them. She traveled from Florida for Indiana, to SE Kentucky, to Lexington, to Virginia, where our journey came to an abrupt end. I have cried everyday since, I have laughed at the memories, I've been filled with rage. I miss my baby, my sunshine. It took me months to get her to trust me, she gave me the most unconditional love for almost four years and I'll spend the rest of my life continuing to show her unconditional love, I'll miss her silently and with all of my voice. I'm not sure I will ever stop grieving this loss.

“ 'For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' (2Cor. 5:21) In His death, Christ bore the enmity of the whole world. In doing so, He entered into every hatred and element of bitterness in our lives. St. Sophrony said, 'Christ has descended into the lowest hell and is waiting for His friends to meet Him there.'

We cannot know the One who is love apart from love."

Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Here's an info post about some trans characters' identities, ft. a couple more revamps of older characters that I haven't mentioned yet. As with the Aro Week post, I'm including their ages to show the variety there.

--

Zhenya (21 y/o): AMAB demiboy; uses he/him, she/her and it/its pronouns; originally he just used he/she, but later added it/its because he doesn't mind being called that and also thinks it can be funny; he doesn't really use they/them, mostly because the Russian language doesn't have singular they and he wants to have the same pronouns in Russian and English.

Lev (early to mid 40s): trans man; uses he/him pronouns; being a woman didn't make him dysphoric, he had no strong feelings about it, but upon experimenting with his gender he discovered that he's explicitly happy being a man; though he had always been somewhat jealous of men's ability to have mustaches; he likes cats and has some catlike traits himself, so he chose the name Lev, which means "lion" in Russian; he encourages people to use his old name and pronouns when talking about his pre-transition self, viewing it as historically accurate and not wanting to "retcon" the past.

Luna (30 y/o): transfem non-binary; uses they/them and she/her pronouns and both neutral and feminine terms; their presentation is feminine; they did voice training and speak in a higher voice now; they chose the name Luna in large part because they love astronomy and everything to do with space, like planets, stars, etc.

Ginger (early 50s): trans woman; uses she/her pronouns; she didn't do voice training and still has a masculine voice; she discovered her identity slightly over a decade ago, after she was already married and had kids.

Sam (15 y/o): AFAB demigirl; uses she/her and they/them pronouns; her full name is Samantha, but she goes by Sam, liking that it's both short and gender-neutral.

Rufus (mid 50s): AMAB genderqueer/genderless; uses he/him pronouns and masculine terms; he describes himself as "a man, but in a genderless way, if that makes sense"; he presents androgynous or feminine; sometimes strangers mistake him for a trans woman and call him "ma'am" and he has to correct them.

Steven (early to mid 50s): trans man; uses he/him pronouns; he's masculine presenting, but sometimes wears nail polish; he named himself after a sports player he liked; he's the partner of Rufus and they have two biological children together.

Angelo (16 y/o): trans guy; uses he/him pronouns; his birth name was Angela and he liked the sound of it, so he just changed the last letter to make it masculine when choosing a new name.

Willow (15-16 y/o): non-binary; uses they/them and he/him pronouns; their presentation is butch/masculine.

Missy (32 y/o): genderqueer; uses they/them pronouns and neutral terms; they were raised female, but they have come to identify with the term genderqueer and feel more connected to it than they did to womanhood, in part influenced by their experiences as an intersex person.

Harley (mid 20s): transmasc genderfluid; uses they/them and ze/zir pronouns; they alternate between wearing a binder or a regular bra, and thus having either a flat chest or breasts, depending on their mood; while they're fluid between various genders, they also went through some masculinizing treatments.

Maggie (mid 30s): trans woman; uses she/her pronouns; fairly feminine in her presentation; she did voice training and normally uses a higher voice, but uses her natural deeper voice at times, like when doing a drill instructor impression.

Debi (early 20s): trans woman; uses she/her pronouns; she's butch in her presentation; she realized she was trans and was able to get care early, so her voice never got deep.

Kendall (30 y/o): bigender (female + male); uses she/her and he/him pronouns; goes both by Kendall and the nicknames Ken or Kenna, one masculine and one feminine respectively; sometimes she presents more feminine, other times he presents more masculine.

Iris (mid 30s): genderfluid; uses any pronouns; has an androgynous voice; they play around with their gender presentation a lot.

Food Plan(s)

Franklin: now, if I were to ask you about the best way to burn calories, you would say…

Sheridan: *stares angrily*

Garibaldi: exercise, unfortunately.

Ivanova: I’d say that the best way to burn calories is to set oneself on fire.

I thought I grew out of my I-need-to-apologise-for-posting-so-rarely emo phase, but it seems I didn't, so here I am and my excuses!

As a bonus, if you scroll below, you'll get to hear me venting about my artistic skills and laziness! (the conclusion is positive though)

Bonus vent!

I've been regularly drawing and posting my works on the internet since 2015, and all this time I've only been messing around, desperately avoiding actually studying what I'm drawing, which, uh, led to lots of complexes I have today! (art-wise). It's really hard to force myself to learn, partly because feeling how little I actually know and can draw is frustrating as hell. I keep thinking about how much better I would've been had I started studying earlier, and how far behind I am other people who weren't as lazy as me, etc etc... On top of that, self-studying requires time-management skills and self-control, which I don't have, so I'm really moving at a snail's pace here.

Don't get the wrong impression btw, even though I'm being so critical of myself, I'm still kinda trying to show myself in a better light, meaning I probably do even less than you think. :DD And, as much as I don't want to admit it, I'm trying to manipulate you into giving me compliments and encouragement (...which all artists do, I think? My envy for other artists alienated me from the art community so I don't know what's normal anymore lol)

As a conclusion for this post, I tried to write some encouraging advice for people who feel a similar way, but it ended up being soaked in my own inferiority complex, so the only advice I can give you is: don't listen to me. And be mindful when you listen to other sad artists. But do listen to the kind art teachers on youtube who want you to enjoy every second you spend drawing, who want you to take your time, to see art as your freedom and to let it make you a happy person

Happy Chard

Clear and light in the glass, a nose calm and sweet: full of soft florals, appley fruit, oak and fresh butter. A bit more powerful on the palate: full-bodied and rich, showing numerous complexities we appreciate from this variety under careful bottling. Plum and pear with a sort of carmelized decadence to all, it balances well right down into a bit of pithy bitter tannin on finish. 2021 BALVERNE…

What do y'all think of the theory that the British secret service was involved in Rasputin's murder?

Like the agent Oswald Rayner admitted to his cousin he was involved, translated Yusupov's first book and burned all his papers before he died. The other agent Stephen Alley was literally born in Yusupov's palace as his father was Yusupov's tutor.

It's definitely very sus. At least I'm 100% sure the attempted cyanide poisoning was made up for an entertaining story, it's just too unrealistic soap opera drama lol. And there was no cyanide found in the autopsy.
