#i made the pink

[pangur-and-grim]

a lot of you probably knows Belphie's story, but I'll summarize just in case.

Devon Rex cats are better for people with allergies (less shed fur + less Fel d1 protein in their saliva), so on February 16, 2024, I went the breeder route and put down a deposit. before Belphie even opened his eyes, he was mine!

every Friday, the breeder sent me a new photo. I had a broken leg, and was basically rotting in bed at that point, so it was the best part of my week. then, at 12 weeks old, I BROUGHT HIM HOME!

at first, he was so alive! like a wind-up monkey that never shut off. he dangled from the wall-hangings, savaged my feet as I walked, and used my elderly cats as jumping poles to do cool acrobatics over. but all this gradually faded.

first, he stopped playing. then he stopped climbing. then he stopped moving much at all. my vet ran tests on him and found multiple pathogens (calcivrius + mycoplasma), but the medication didn't help - he kept declining.

on September 17th, I woke up to find him swollen like a balloon. we finally had an answer: he had Feline infectious Peritonitis, aka FIP. before 2017, this would've been a death sentence. he would've kept bloating until he drowned in his own fluids. and before 2024, I would've been forced to inject him with black market drugs. but thankfully, South Tower Animal Hospital in Fergus, Ontario was doing a study on the oral medication! we drove two hours, enrolled him, and left with the GS-441524 pills.

and he went from those photos above.....to this:

I thought Belphie would die as a kitten. I'd accepted that he would never grow up. but now he gets to LIVE!

and all for the low cost of $7,553.....ahhhahaha........god.

that + a recent home disaster has wiped out my savings, but I still need to pay for Belphie's medication. to remain in this study, I need to do bloodwork monthly until Feb 2025, and he'll need daily pills until March 2025.

I've put a risograph print + enamel pin set up at greerstothers.shop. I hate asking for help, but if you'd like to support Belphie's continued treatment, please consider checking them out!

The primary association of pink is with love, particularly gentle and affectionate feelings. Pink can also suggest a youthful, innocent quality to love.

Here's BG3's Sven Vinckle's speech before he announced the game of the year, it's something I think certain companies should keep in mind going forward... (also sorry for the 'yes' that's yelled in the background during it, I didn't realize I projected that much from where I was seated. I got happy about developers striving to be treated as people making art and not ticks on a spreadsheet trying to make ceo's more money)

a brief record summarizing pete and patrick’s public online duel of the first ten days of february 2010

on february 1, 2010, pw tweets this amidst a series of replies in a twitter q&a:

after his tweets result in a bit of a stir online, pw publishes the following on his tumblr after midnight:

the following afternoon, february 2, 2010, spin magazine asks patrick for a response to the tweet, and patrick says this. his response is published online that day under the headline “Patrick Stump: ‘I’m Not in Fall Out Boy’”

between the time patrick makes this statement and over the next several days, pw has a lot to say on twitter and tumblr (a selection of which follows, in chronological order):

on february 10, 2010, spin magazine publishes an interview with patrick, where he talks about his upcoming solo work. frankly, in this interview (which is worth reading in its entirety), patrick paints his “collaborators,” fall out boy, as an interruption to his lifelong pursuit of making his own music. he says that his forthcoming record will be his first record, since “writing music in a collaborative setting doesn’t count.” he also gives a, ahem, pointed answer about one of the tracks (below). also of note, patrick mentions the 1989 batman film as one of his childhood inspirations.

later that day, the evening of february 10, 2010, pete tweets and posts on tumblr:

anyway. more days happened after the first ten days of february 2010. but the first ten days were something.
