Dexter 🧡

A Portrait by The Wandering Astronaut

Medium: Photography, photo editing

This is a portrait I made today of my wonderful cat Dexter! This is my favourite photo of him :)

Decky's story: We met Dexter last June when he was just three months old. He was living in a shelter in Charlestown, a small town in Ireland about an hour from where I live. He was quite an anxious kitten, and hadn't had the easiest start in life. He was neutered far too young, and his whole litter had caught parvovirus. Only him and his brother Titus remained, but that changed a few months later when Titus unfortunately passed away, leaving Decky as the only survivor of the litter. Dexter was also bullied by other cats in the shelter, often robbed of his share of food and attacked without reason. He had become withdrawn, easily startled and wary of people.

My sister absolutely loves cats. My neighbour, a volunteer at the shelter, knew that she craved a kitten in her life, so she offered to take her to the shelter for the day to help out. She had a secret plan. Dexter needed a loving family, and my sister longed for a cat. They needed eachover, and my neighbour took the opportunity to introduce them. I wasn't there when they first met, but my sister tells me he was nervous, but slowly grew more trusting as they spent time together. Over the now 8 months I've known him, it's been so heartwarming to watch him come out of his shell and become the sweet, mischievous and friendly boy I know and love :)

In 1920s San Myshuno, it was difficult to find a man who hadn't been mesmerized by the seductive young socialite known only as Lily - and even more difficult to find one who'd lived to tell the tale. She seemed to flit carelessly from one promising young gentleman to the next, serving as muse to an up-and-coming commercial artist at the beginning of the night and murmuring sweet nothings into the ear of the Spice District's most talented pianist by the end. Curiously enough, few paused in their revelry long enough to wonder why these men so abruptly disappeared after flaunting Lily on their arms. The contraband absinthe that flowed freely in the city's underground establishments is likely to blame.

i wanna talk about how... i had my last class today and we presented our final projects and everyone was so nice about my song and my teachers gave me 18 out 20 and i was surprised because even tho they literally mentioned that they think art should not be graded simply because it's subjective and all, i don't think i've ever had a grade this high on really anything ever? so i really felt very proud of myself on that moment but LATER ON... they asked us individually what we thought of this course and funny enough... i was the last one to talk about my experience and i said that i felt very fulfilled because i never did collaborative work with people before and i learned so much from my classmates! ever since the first day i felt so welcome and since i'm an introvert it's very hard for me to feel comfortable with a group of people immediately and so i was very grateful for that and as i got to talk with all of them individually about music i always felt like i was on the right track and this is honestly what i wanna do because in the end, this career with bring me a connection with people that i never really had until now with any of my friendships and so i'm very grateful but other than that... i also said that if they wanted to reach out to me and collab and do music with me i would always be available and honestly i don't even know how i could be that straightforward it was a first for me i was like wow i really did that??? and they agreed and it made me so happy and especially because i wanna keep being friends with these people like i was on the way there and i thought that i didn't want to not want to see them again after today and hopefully we would keep in touch for anything and we keep being in community hopefully so yeah... i never thought i would feel comfortable to even ask people to keep in touch and actually mean it and hopefully that our friendship will grow over time

The cognitive function is not functioning, I think

(Jacobsbadwig) with all due respect, when the fuck did you get back! I missed you!

never left, only reincarnated :)

well, now my dad's sister is in the hospital ... she was technically dead for about 20 minutes ...

they have to wait 72 hours to see how her brain is going to react before they can really do or know anything further.

i feel so weird about all this. i know my parents and their siblings are at that age where things just start to happen but oh my god it's awful

idk how we're going to even tell my dad honestly. he'll mostly understand but that might vary from one minute to the next.

god i hope she'll be alright but i think we all can get that like. 20 minutes is a long time to be dead and get brought back.

[thethingything]

ah okay apparently we've reached the time of night where we start to feel really weird and not great but I guess the best thing to do is just go over our self care checklist and if all else fails, lay down and try to get cosy and rest for a while to see if that helps

[giantkillerjack]

YES!!!!THIS!!!!

Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It's that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it's always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?

Hm. I am getting the distinct feeling that either revanced broke or some apps are doing smth real shitty
