Summary:Mackenzie walks back into Will’s newsroom and life but bringing with her not just memories of their past. She brings a two-year-old on her hip without a father.

She wished he would take them into his office, or that she knew where her office was.

“I tried to get in touch with you when you were on vacation. No one could seem to get in touch with you. Or at least they weren’t willing to say.” She was rambling, she hated when she did that. It announced how nervous she was. He was silent. “Actually, I’ve tried to get in touch with you a lot of times over the last three years. Did you get those e-mails?”

“Yeah.” Shit.

“And what did you think?”

“I didn’t read them.” Well, that was one question Mac had answered. Things were going to be more complicated than she anticipated. He didn’t know. Still more silence. “Okay this could work.” She said, trying to convince herself more than him. “In fact, it’s going to work great! I asked my agent to arrange a three-year contact. You know me I think that’s the…”

“It’s not a three-year contract anymore.”

“I’m sorry.” She asked in confusion.

“it’s not a three-year contract anymore. In fact, it’s a 156-week contract that gives me the opportunity to fire you 155 times at the end of each week. We’ll wait a few months to make sure it’s not a story that Will Carter can shove up my ass. We’ll do it then.” As he spoke, voice dripping with distain and arrogance, she felt the rage begin to form in her stomach. God he could be so spiteful! He had no idea what effect he was having on her life.

“How did you get my contract changed?” she asked coldly.

“I gave the network some money back off my salary.”

“How much?” “A million dollars a year.”

“You gave back a million dollars to be able to fire me whenever you want!”

“Three million dollars and not whenever I want. At the end of each week.” He stared at her with such contempt and bitterness she practically tasted the bile that rose in his throat from seeing her. But this wasn’t about her anymore. She needed this job; she needed a steady income. She sighed trying to still her nerves. “I get you doing this to me. But you can’t do this to them.”

“Who?”

“People followed me here you ass!”  Well, there goes calm. “They’re in the process of moving! They’ve put down deposits, found flat mates…”

“Yeah, they fucked up Mac! They trusted you!” He screamed in retort.

“Mac?” Their shouting match was interrupted when Jim returned to the Newsroom. Mac’s eyes went wide with fear before she even turned around. She saw the quizzical look on Will’s brow. Shit. She knew what she was turning around to. “I’m sorry but he wouldn’t stop crying for you.”

Finally catching up with those last three episodes from The Nine Realms season 7 has me like

[forsakenwish]

[never-forget-viva-la-pluto]

It's that time of year again to remind everyone that it is fucking animal abuse to not spay/neuter your pets.

"But my fur baby is indoor only."

I don't care. Animals that are not fixed get horny and their first instinct is to run outside. And if they get outside they will get pregnant/impregnate.

"But my little lady is not even a year old."

I don't care. Cats can get pregnant as early as 6-8 weeks old, and many dogs as early as 4 months.

"But surgery is expensive."

Don't get a pet if you can't take care of it. Animal neglect is a type of animal abuse and you should be charged as such.

"But they don't get fixed in nature."

Yeah but it's also natural for litters to be born too early, too late, have major complications due to kittens and puppies being able reproduce BEFORE sexual maturity, and for the parents to dump them on strangers doorsteps bc their instincts to take care of a baby haven't fully developed.

FIX YOUR GODDAMN PETS ASAP and I encourage you to peer pressure anyone who doesn't into doing it or report them to the fucking authorities.

-Sincerely, the person who found a 4 month old kitten under their car with 3 kittens of her own with the umbilical cord still attached to one stillbirth(the only one that was fully developed). They almost lasted the night with human intervention but it wasnt enough.

Fix your fucking pets! And keep your cats indoors!

[idontknowreallywhy]

So far have felt a little… “eh” about Nine Realms, but was VERY happy with the skrill’s appearance - always was my favourite and they didn’t ruin it! It looks just as it did in RTTE! 😍 Did it not evolve like the others?

Am hoping there will be some kind of story arc that isn’t just “drive the hostile untrained dragon away” again for it though.

Alex hates this so much.

She's such an introvert, I wanted to explore her ending up in the Teen Center with the others.

Teething Problems - Chapter 1 Will and Mackenzie

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: The Newsroom (US TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Will McAvoy/MacKenzie McHale, Will McAvoy & MacKenzie McHale Characters: Will McAvoy, MacKenzie McHale, Original Child(ren) of Will McAvoy and MacKenzie McHale Additional Tags: Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Family Fluff, Pining, Mutual Pining, Family, Family Feels, Romance, Eventual Romance Series: Part 2 of a growing home.

“Mum?” “Daniel!” Mackenzie jumped from her seat on the toilet. She pulled her shirt down to give her whatever modesty she had left. “What did we say about the bathroom? It’s a private place!” “But there’s a strange man sleeping on the sofa.” Daniel said casually, pointing towards the living room. “He’s not a strange man, his name is Will.” She sighed. “He works… or will work with mummy.” “But what’s he doing on the sofa?” Daniel asked. “He’s an old friend of mummy’s and he came over to see me, to see us, last night.” “But what’s he doing on the sofa!” Daniel asked a little louder this time. “We did a lot of talking last night and it got late. I let him sleep on the sofa.” Daniel considered his mother’s reply. “us?” he asked. “What?” “You said ‘us’ Why us?” “Did I?” Mac feigned ignorance. Her son looked at him with a stare she was only now realizing he got from his father. It was his ‘really? You think that’s going to work’ face. Mac sighed again. “I want him to spend some time with us.” “Why?” “to get to know you.” “Why.” “Because you’re important to me and so is he.” “Wh…” “Don’t!” she warned him. Daniel smirked cheekily as his mother rolled her eyes, flushed the toilet, and redressed her lower half.

24 Ways We Worked to Protect Cats in 2024

Happy almost New Year! We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for helping us protect and save cats’ lives every single day. Your compassion, dedication, and action make an incredible impact, and we’re truly grateful to have you with us in our mission to build a world where ALL cats are valued and protected.

Even as we prepare for all the work ahead, we’re also reflecting on the incredible change we accomplished together this year.

Here are 24 ways (there are many, many more!) we worked on behalf of cats in 2024:

1. We Took Historic Legal Action to Protect Community Cats in Puerto Rico

If not for Alley Cat Allies and our supporters like you, a deadly removal of community cats in Puerto Rico would be underway right now.

The United States National Park Service (NPS), which announced intention to eradicate cats from the San Juan National Historic Site late in 2023, planned to start ripping cats from their outdoor homes as early as October 1, 2024.

Alley Cat Allies’ legal efforts—including launching a historic lawsuit against the NPS in March 2024—and refusal to back down forced the NPS to agree to halt all movement on its cruel plan until a federal court decision in 2025. Cats like Bella, Mufasina, and Llorin are still eating, sleeping, and playing amid the surf-swept rocks of their outdoor home because of our action—and our supporters like you who make it possible.

We will continue our fight until the NPS abandons its inhumane and illegal plan permanently, and community cats in Puerto Rico are protected and supported as the community members they are.

2. We Launched Our Community Resource Tool™

The Alley Cat Allies Community Resource Tool is here to help advocates like you protect the cats who are your community. With a few clicks, you can find lifesaving resources for cats in your area including low-cost spay and neuter clinics, cat food banks, and more.

Cats Are Community™ and deserve a community that supports them. With our Community Resource Tool, you can discover local cat advocates and access assistance that benefits cats whether they live outdoors or indoors.

3. We Helped Win a Major Victory for Ohio Cats

Alley Cat Allies’ amicus brief helped inform a critical Ohio Supreme Court decision for cats and kittens. The court ruled that Ohio’s companion animal cruelty law protects all cats, including community cats who are unowned and live outdoors, as “companion animals.”

This is a major victory for cats throughout Ohio and ensures community cats are protected equally under animal cruelty laws.

4. Our Rapid Response Team Saved Cats During Historic Texas Fires

With smoke still choking the air and charred landscape on either side of them, an Alley Cat Allies Rapid Response Team drove directly into the Texas communities most impacted by the historic Smokehouse Creek Fire to deliver lifesaving support for cats and kittens. We connected with local advocates to aid recovery efforts and provided critical care for smoke inhalation and burn wounds to cats like Rubble, Mona, and Phoenix.

5. We Kicked off Our Veterinarian Training Program™

Growing a powerful movement means ensuring the next generation is ready to take up the lifesaving mantle. That’s why we launched the Alley Cat Allies Veterinarian Training Program, starting in the Caribbean islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis!

The goal of our Veterinarian Training Program is to help both experienced and novice veterinarians bring the most effective TNR techniques to their communities to save more lives.

6. We Provided TNR and Food to Thousands of Atlantic County Cats

In 2024, Alley Cat Allies funded spay and neuter, including through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and other lifesaving care for more than 3000 community cats and indoor cats in Atlantic County, New Jersey. We also provided food to an incredible 600 community cats per day through a first-of-its-kind community cat food bank in the county.

In 2025, our work with the Humane Society of Atlantic County is moving forward to bring critical care to thousands more cats and kittens.

7. We Helped Hundreds of Tennessee Cats with Feline Frenzy®

The Alley Cat Allies Feline Frenzy in Lebanon, Tennessee, this year reached hundreds of indoor and community cats with spay and neuter and vaccinations! On top of that milestone, hundreds more cats received ongoing cat food support—all covered by Alley Cat Allies.

8. We Filed a Lawsuit to Stop the Illegal Killing of Cats in Summit County, Ohio

Alley Cat Allies filed a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas against Summit County, Ohio, and its county-operated animal shelter to stop the needless, cruel, and illegal killing of cats.

The Summit County Animal Control Department is an entity meant to uphold the laws. Instead, it is improperly and inhumanely ‘euthanizing’ animals and killing cats for simply being deemed ‘feral’.

Stopping the senseless and inhumane killing of cats is our top priority.

9. We Are Providing Legal Support to Achieve Justice for Juliet

Alley Cat Allies is providing prosecution support to achieve justice for Juliet, who was tortured and killed in Hamilton, Ohio. Surveillance video revealed that Juliet was shoved into a garbage bag and then slammed violently on the ground by the perpetrator.

We’ll keep you updated as the case moves forward.

10. We Offered a Reward to Find Who Shot George the Cat

In a horrific act of senseless cruelty, George the cat was shot in the back leg with a shotgun in Henrietta Township, Ohio. He survived his injury but was so badly maimed that his leg had to be surgically amputated. Alley Cat Allies covered the costs of his procedure and he has since recovered.

We offered a sizable reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for shooting George.

11. We Helped Granite Shoals Adopt a TNR Ordinance

The ordinance, which had heavy input from Alley Cat Allies, officially protects TNR and community cats in the Texas city. This step forward came just months after disturbing comments about shooting, poisoning, and killing cats were made by the former Granite Shoals City Manager and a wildlife advisory committee.

Today, we continue to support TNR in Granite Shoals!

12. We Responded After Back-to-Back Hurricanes

In fall 2024, Alley Cat Allies provided lifesaving care to cats and kittens impacted by both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Cats like Jack, Flash, and Toffee were been swept from disaster zones in Florida and into safe spaces to recover thanks to our disaster response in collaboration with advocates, organizations, and veterinarians on the ground in impacted communities.

13. We Celebrated Our Biggest Global Cat Day and National Feral Cat Day Yet

On October 13, we inspired advocates the world over to share the global truth that Cats Are Community, and highlighted communities that are leading with lifesaving, evidence-based Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs from Tennessee to France.

Global Cat Day and National Feral Cat Day continue to grow, as does our movement!

14. We Gave Advocates the Tools to Share the Truth

The truth is one of our movement’s most powerful tools to save cats and kittens. Misinformation costs millions of cats their lives every year, and Alley Cat Allies works to set the record straight.

Our new Share the Truth resource, including a pocket guide, is spreading the facts about cats across the nation and around the world.

15. We Defended Community Cat Caregivers

Alley Cat Allies took swift legal action when a community cat caregiver in Parma, Ohio, was threatened with nearly one year of jail time and over $2,000 in fines for doing TNR in her community. An attorney working with Alley Cat Allies represented the caregiver in court and, in October, all charges against her were dismissed.

16. Mr. Meow Got Justice

In September 2024, Colton Fontes was sentenced to 14 years in prison for felony animal cruelty related to killing tabby cat Mr. Meow in 2022 and several other highly disturbing charges including rape and sexual battery.

Alley Cat Allies was involved in the case from the beginning, attended court hearings, communicated with the Mr. Meow’s family, and brought the case to further public attention. According to the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation into the shooting and killing of Mr. Meow helped make Fontes’ arrest for the other charges possible.

17. We Exposed Misrepresentation of TNR and Community Cats

Alley Cat Allies was compelled to address the shockingly biased, dangerously misinformed, and often downright insulting portrayal of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), community cats, and the people who care for and protect them in a pieces published in The New Yorker and Forbes.

18. We Exposed How Opposition to TNR is Leading to Lethal Action

In our video, we showed our supporters around the world how Alley Cat Allies is fighting opposition to TNR, correcting dangerous disinformation about cats, and saving cats’ lives. We won’t back down until every cat is valued and protected as the community member they are.

19. We Saved Maximus With Unique Surgery

Maximus (AKA Maximus Decimus Merkitteus) is a young cat is full of life and love for anyone and everyone, and has never met a stranger. He’s even best friends with his dog brother. But at not even a year old, Maximus experienced a medical emergency that had his family rushing him to the veterinarian for treatment. The diagnosis: A portosystemic liver shunt.

Alley Cat Allies provides support to veterinary professionals across the nation, which made the unique surgery Maximus needed to survive possible. Now, he’s happy, healthy, and living his life to the fullest—among many other cats and kittens who received access to care through our work together.

20. Our Cat Help Desk Answered the Call to Save Cats’ Lives

Alley Cat Allies is dedicated to ensuring caregivers have the resources and support to provide their cats with the best care possible. That is why the Alley Cat Allies Cat Help Desk is a lifeline, offering expert guidance and resources (including our low-cost veterinary care directory and our animal food bank directory) to help people across the nation and around the world protect cats in their communities.

This year, the work of our Cat Help Desk touched all 50 states and beyond!

21. We Rallied Against Ripping Cats from Their Homes in Alabama

After discovering that owned and community cats faced deadly policies in Birmingham, Alley Cat Allies called on the city and its mayor to cease persecuting cats and their caregivers immediately.

In a shocking situation caught on video, tabby cat Nemo was lured from her own front porch by animal control officers and impounded.

We sent a letter asking the city to stop its aggressive action and rallied advocates to join us. We continue to stand in defense of Birmingham’s cats.

22. We Saved Cats From Suffering in a Shelter

If you met Opal and siblings Aster and Orchid today, you’d never guess they were once languishing in inhumane conditions in a municipal shelter. The kittens were dehydrated and suffering from upper respiratory infections, while Opal was anemic and contending with a coccidia infection.

Alley Cat Allies took a stand to save them, and all have beautifully blossomed under our care. With the right veterinary care (plus a lot of TLC!), Opal, Aster, and Orchid healed fully and took the next steps in their journeys toward a much happier tomorrow!

23. We Defended South Carolina County’s TNR Program

This year, the council of Richland County, South Carolina, considered passing a dangerous amendment to remove the county’s Community Cat Diversion Program—a successful TNR initiative that has saved thousands of cats’ lives. Alley Cat Allies rallied advocates to speak out, and the amendment did not move forward.

This is just one of many communities in which Alley Cat Allies rallied advocates for lifesaving change in 2024.

24. We Continue to Stand Up for Cat Victims of Cruelty

We are seeking justice, including through rewards, in multiple cruelty cases across the country. Apollo, an Ohio community cat, was discovered with a horrific wound to his foot that meant his leg had to be amputated. Alley Cat Allies covered the costs of his surgery and care, and sent out a call for any information.

We also offered rewards for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the killing of several cats in the town of Lake Clarke Shores, Florida, and in relation to a series of disturbing Facebook videos in Washington, Missouri.

@endlessthxxghts @strang3lov3

I’d like to submit a beefpoll, I know it’s an off the menu item but given what I have been out through tonight by you and @noxturnalpascal I think I deserve this. And on the house too

What is the correct font for writing and reading?

Times new Roman, palatino, arial, comic sans, or other (share in comments). I would like to know what the people think.

fine.

[quitealotofsodapop]

since in the Cicada Lily AU Macaque turns into a street cat to play with Bai He, was there a moment where she noticed that one of his eyes is gone and thinks that her cat friend is hurt and needs help (cause she's a little kid and doesn't understand that the injury is healed) so she just drags cat Macaque inside and tells her parents that the kitty is hurt and Macaque just kinda has to deal with being dragged around by the kid?

I imagine they probably take him to a vet or Sandy, and he has to get all the shots for strays and this is his first check up since he's been dead so he probably needs a few of them

referencing this post.

Oh gosh XD

Macaque does his best to play an "aloof but kind alley cat" (he's an actor deep down) so he can keep an eye on LBD's host, only to underestimate how much the little girl comes to adore him.

Bai He is like four when she tries to befriend the local alley cats around the resturant, most often getting swatted or hissed at or accidentally scaring the animals away (loud toddler = cats going "no thanks"). She gets really upset; cus why dont the kitties understand that she wants to be their friend?

Then she hears a deep "Meow?".

Standing at her feet is a long-tailed cat that looks like it's made of pure shadow. A single orange eye staring up at her with curiosity.

Bai He squeals so loudly that Macaque nearly jumps out of his glamour. She scoops the cat up, even with him being almost her size, and cuddles him like he's the best thing she's ever seen.

Macaque feels a sense of warmth at giving the child that was destined to be a demonic host a friend.

Then as she's looking over his features one-by-one ("Fluffy tail! Big paw beans!") the little girl makes a gasp!

And goes running inside the restaurant with her new friend in tow.

Bai He, sobbing: "Baba! Kitty hurt!!" Pigsy, busy cooking: "Huh?" *sees weird cat* "Oh!" Tang, leaning down: "How is he hurt, sweetie?" Bai He, inconsolable: *points at the cat's missing eye* Pigsy & Tang: *share a look* Pigsy: "Sweetheart, it looks like he was hurt a long time ago, but it got better." Tang: "Remember when your big brother scraped his knee really bad and it was under a bandage for a long time? And when the bandage came off, it left a little pale line? It's like that." Bai He, trying to understand: "Really???" Tang: "Yes really, bug." Bai He: "Oh." Pigsy, realising: "Wait, where did you find this cat?" Bai He: *points to the backdoor to the alley* Pigsy: "...Oh we are so getting that thing vaccinated. Probably has fleas or something." Macaque: *insulted growl!*

And cue them taking the weird alley cat (now named "Mr Moonlight" via Bai He) to the vet to get him all his shots. And Macaque having to play "nice kitty" the whole time, even as he's getting weighed, given his shots, and a flea bath. The topic of "fixing" comes up at some point but Macaque quickly glamours himself the tell-tale TNR scars to avoid further mutilation.

In the waiting room they run into Sandy, taking Mo in for his regular check-up. This leads to the old friends reuniting, and Bai He meeting her favorite uncle ever.

"Mr Moonlight" is very protective of Bai He, and spends a large amount of his day lazing around, watching tv (he enjoys joining Pigsy for "Cooking with Chang'e"), and slipping outside for his regular walks.

To everyone other than the noodle shop fam tho, Mac is far less accomodating...

One time Bai He got hassled by kids at the park, and Mr Moonlight seemingly appeared from the shadows and started screaming and scratching at her bullies like a tiger. He got many treats that night.

MK whines about his baby sister being allowed a pet, but his parents are firm that Mr Moonlight ultimately chose them. MK isn't alone for long however, as a large sunshine-orange bird takes a liking to him and becomes his frequent companion. MK names him "Mr Sunshine".

Gee, I wonder who that could be...
