I got emotional thinking about Chrono Trigger tonight, and the fact that the majority of the cast could have just given up on the whole ‘saving the world’ thing, gone home, and lived perfectly fine lives with no consequences for walking away.

If you’re unfamiliar with Chrono Trigger, the basic plot is that our plucky heroes accidentally get pulled back in time after a science experiment goes wrong. On their quest to get back to their own time, they accidentally end up in the distant future, and discover that the world is destroyed in the year 1999 (of course,) and the future they find is a desolate wasteland where the few surviving humans are on the brink of starvation. It’s terrible!

But here’s the thing: our heroes are from the year 1000. The apocalypse is 999 years away from their time. Once they find the way back to their own time, they could have just forgotten about the future. It wouldn’t have affected them! They would be long dead before any of that ever happened! The only character who would have been impacted was the robot they met in the future, but they could have brought him back to their time too and called it a day. There was no consequence for them to walk away.

But they don’t, of course. They make it their mission to figure out what caused the apocalypse and how to prevent it by jumping back and forth through time. They do all that, risking their lives, for a future that they wouldn’t live long enough to actually experience. They don’t do it for themselves. They do it for the world.

It’s just kind of a lovely thought. Planting trees in whose shade they would never sit.

I hate how people believe that AAC will automatically fix and make everything better. Like it’s this magical thing that will fix all your problems. And I’m mostly referring to the parts of the community that are mostly speaking people. I realize completely that AAC could help a LOT in these situations, but sometimes, it can cause more harm than good.

This is just in my observations and experience, but the amount of ableism that AAC users experience is ridiculous. The amount of people who believe that if you use AAC, you are this zoo animal who has suddenly gained a talent and must be stared at and gawked at.

AAC will NOT fix your family problems. Your family will still be ableist. AAC will not fix all your speech problems, you will still have speech problems. AAC is hard to figure out. AAC will not make everything better, and I’m tired of people acting like it’s some magical thing that will. Will it make your life easier if you’re nonverbal or nonspeaking and NEED a way to communicate? Absolutely. But that doesn’t change the other shit.

Fair, but if the cat is chipped to different owners this can cause problems at the vets - I saw a cat come in for emergency care who was an 'adopted stray' (stolen from neighbours via above method) and the microchip was registered to its previous owners. The vets couldn't euthanise because they couldn't contact the previous owners (the vet has to go by the microchip, especially as there had been no agreement to transfer ownership between the previous and current owner) and then when the cat died, couldn't give the body to the now grieving owner who brought it in because they needed the legal owner's permission. The whole situation was really horrible even though at no point were the police involved.

I would definitely recommend you check any new stray cats for microchips and attempt to contact the owner to see if they are willing to give up the cat and re-register the chip (this is how my grandma got her cat). This will also help reunite the cat if it turns out to be an escaped indoor cat. If the owner cannot be contacted you may well be able to keep the cat.

I can think of a really easy solution to this problem.
