This is my retired service dog, Meatball. She’s 9 years old and has been with me for 4 years. She got me through an abusive relationship, years with chronic illness and pain, and serious mental health issues and has never left my side.
She also has chronic health issues, like chronic ear infections and UTI’s that are usually cleared up without a problem using antibiotics and a vet visit. This time however; the antibiotics wouldnt work.
I’ve gone to the vet three times for the same issue in the past three months, including an emergency visit late at night due to swelling in the side of her face that will not go away despite how many antibiotics she’s been taking.
This infection just keeps coming back. After the most recent swelling and emergent vet visit, the doctor told us that without a surgery (that we can’t afford) Meatball isn’t going to recover. We’re trying stronger antibiotics for a long time to try to see if that helps and prevents the infection from spreading further, but without the proper scans and surgery, it’s likely that we’ll have to put meatball down to prevent her infection from spreading and killing her in an even more painful way.
I’ve made a gofundme to help raise money to help meatball get this life saving surgery so she can have a good senior life with me.
Gofundme - Save Meatball!

Moving Day ~
Today is what I've come to refer to as Moving Day. My time is up where I've been staying, so I had to pack up my car with all my valuables, clothes, food, and health supplies, then spend several hours in my car, until I can check in somewhere else and unpack everything. It's physically exhausting, and by the time I'm done (around 4pm) I'm gonna end up sleeping on & off until getting up for work on Monday. I really dread Moving Day, but it's my reality for now--and I'm very aware there are many people who don't even have shelter at all.
Normally, Moving Day falls on a Sunday, like today...but it's gonna fall on Wednesday (a workday) again this week, as I only have funds to stay until then (paying my motor vehicle tax has left me broke). After that, I'll be spending the night at work or in my car. So I'm posting this now in the hope of enough help to get me a few more nights before I have to do it all again. I'm left to rely on the kindness of both friends and strangers. Thank you in advance to anyone able to give a little bit of help and for signal boosting this plea!

I hate ChatGPT for a lot of reasons but I genuinely think this might be one of the funniest things I’ve ever read
#my posts#sadly we use it at work sometimes to assist with shelter bios#coming up with 10+ unique bios for animals in the 30 mins before we open is kinda Very Difficult#I personally just use it as a base template to work off of but even then it makes me feel bad#anyways. high treason euthanasia for Snuggles.

So many people that work with animals are idealistic. They see dogs as something you can train into whatever you want regardless of their personality. And they see death as the worst thing that can happen to an animal. I have seen the finger pointing and rage at someone being unable or unwilling to keep an animal with severe behavior issues and it doesn't help anyone. People deserve to be safe in their homes and in public. And having a pet is supposed to be enjoyable, not a liabability. It's okay that not every dog is suitable for a home. Putting dangerous dogs into pet homes just makes people hate certain breeds and hate shelters. Many people with easy dogs simply got lucky that their dog fit into their life as smoothly as it did.

one thing i never thought i'd get into was fashion. i used to buy just whatever clothes fit me at Walmart, but ever since i committed to only wear clothes that make me happy i've come to realize how deeply enjoyable clothing can be. (putting it below for politeness)
when i was still working in homeless services, i worked with a veteran client who always dressed like a cowboy. i once asked him why, and he told me it was because when he left the army, he didn't know who he was any more without it. The routine, training, and combat he saw made it so when he got out, he wasn't the same person he was when he went in. So, he decided if he didn't know who he was, then he'd just be who he liked, and he liked cowboys.
one day a few years ago, sick of boymoding at work after a scolding from my boss about painting my nails, i decided to pack up all my men's clothing and donate it. i kept a few shirts with sentimental value and boxed the rest up to drop off at goodwill. now having pretty much no clothes i had no choice but to buy an entire new wardrobe, and i had no idea what i was doing. i was sick of wearing clothes i didn't like, but i had also never liked any clothes i'd ever worn. so i asked myself: what did i like?
i just got an order of clothes i got with a christmas gift card and i'm so happy just looking at these cute moon leggings i got to wear today. i'm excited for another order to come, because i bought my favorite dress again so i can wear it more. i have a distinct aesthetic that i'm now known for, and i feel more confident and happy than ever. every time i step out of the door in a cute outfit i feel like the baddest bitch on the block.
#i don't really have a point#i'm just drunk and kind of emotional about the fact that i bought another of my favorite dress#owning a duplicate piece of clothing just because i like it would have been completely unthinkable to me five years ago#also as a fun anecdote about that guy he had a really cute service dog i got to play with as part of my job#bc the dog had to know who to go to in an emergency and i was shelter staff#she was the sweetest pupper and drooled. so fucking much. i've never met another dog that drooled as much as she did#i dm'd a d&d one shot for a few of my clients once (i worked nights and fuckall happened most of them) and we gave her a character sheet#oh also. a different client asked what we were doing and my resident assistant answered:#'playing d&d. it's a lot like being homeless but instead of the street it's a forest and instead of spiceheads it's goblins.'#and i fucking died

755,000 people face phase five “catastrophic” conditions in 10 states, including in Greater Darfur as well as South and North Kordofan, Blue Nile, Al Jazira and Khartoum.
Famine risk is real for 14 areas of Sudan amid ongoing fighting
According to the latest UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) initiative, over half the population in Sudan – 25.6 million people – face “crisis or worse” conditions between now September 2024, coinciding with the lean season. Learn more about famine and the IPC's five levels of food security in our explainer here.
Even worse, 755,000 people face phase five “catastrophic” conditions in 10 states, including in Greater Darfur as well as South and North Kordofan, Blue Nile, Al Jazira and Khartoum. At the same time, 8.5 million people – 18 per cent of the population – now suffer from phase four “emergency” levels of food insecurity.
Warring generals
In the more than 14 months since rival militaries – the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces – unleashed their heavy weapons arsenals on one another amid rising tensions over a transition to civilian rule, the UN has repeatedly called for a ceasefire as the country’s capital, Khartoum, became a battleground and amid fears of atrocities in the Darfurs. Despite multiple calls for a ceasefire to Generals Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the Sudanese military, and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who heads the Rapid Support Forces, senior UN humanitarians have warned that the situation is only getting worse.
Conflict leaves country reeling
“We have received news of people eating leaves from trees; one mother cooked up dirt just to put something in her children’s stomach,” said Justin Brady, head of the UN emergency relief agency (OCHA) in Sudan, in an interview with UN News. The risk of famine threatens residents, people uprooted by the war and refugees in no less than 14 areas covering Greater Darfur, Greater Kordofan, Al Jazira states and hotspots in Khartoum “if the conflict escalates further, including through increased mobilisation of local militias that further disrupt mobility, humanitarian assistance, market and livelihood activities”, the IPC assessment warned.

KOSA Bill. In three days, the bill will either pass or be disgarded. Please reblog and sign petitions. to help stop the bill by going to the stop kosa tag so we can not let the bill pass!
The definition of not safe for work content that would be censored under KOSA is vague and would of course target the LGBT community.
#not art#I'm so tired okay#A Tennessee Governor has allowed public officials to deny same sex marriages if it makes them uncomfortable#Alabama ruled that frozen embryos count as children#and would make it so women trying to get pregnant through IVF can only do so one egg at a time#Even if the egg is knowingly not viable#This process takes months and would be for nothing#Cops can open fire on you or run you over and joke about it with no consequences#As well as cop cities opening over the majority of states and being supported by Israel where they can better train our police in abuse#The industry I want to go into is experiencing massive layoffs and people simply aren't valued as it's all about shareholders and investors#And to top it all off the planet is still dying due to climate change caused by oil and gas companies and their CEOs#Both me and my mom are unemployed and we definitely couldn't afford the place we've been provided if it weren't for assistance#And I'm worried something will get screwed up and we'll just get evicted and this'll all be for nothing#I just don't see the point anymore#I only exist to provide shelter to my family as the apartment is in my name and to hopefully try and pay back those have donated to me#Besides that I just go through every day not seeing any upside to continuing to live but not committed to die

i don’t know how to tell people on here that “just giving vacant houses” isn’t going to solve homelessness. like yes making housing available to currently unhoused ppl is essential but there is SO much more
#you can’t just stick someone in a house and abandon them to it ??#some people will do great & many people will struggle#who’s paying for utilities? is anyone getting assistance learning how to maintain a house#has this person ever had to maintain their own washing machine before? smoke alarms? some people have and some haven’t#what about healthcare?#transportation to jobs? grocery stores??#people deserve all of this btw the point is that only giving people a place shelter is not actually a solution#katie speaks#like yeah whatever you can say this will#all be free in the coming communist utopia#but like.
