seriously, tho, shelters and rescues are being slammed HARD by kitten season this year. i mean, we always are, but this year seems extra bad. shelters are in desperate need of:
Towels
Kitten Milk Replacer (kmr)
Baby kitten kibble (like with the teeny tiny kibbles like royal canin’s babycat formula)
Baby kitten soft food
Heating pads (kittens need SO MUCH HEAT)
Pine litter (baby kittens can’t use clumping litter because they try to eat it or it gets stuck to their bottoms and clumps up)
Unflavored pedialyte
little kitten pens (like the kind you keep kittens IN, not the kind you write with)
feeding syringes, bottles, and nipples
money
Fosters!!! this is probably the thing we need more than anything else, tbh.

instead of printing it off just use this blank thing that way you dont have to scan it or anything
so fill that out by pasting it in any art program and whatnot
then save it and upload it to that site
and itll give you an option to download it
so do that and then install it BAM
Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”.
Last Saturday, Whisper started having a rough time with her stomach, and within a few hours she started vomiting and pooping blood. We got her to a vet immediately, and they did bloodwork, x-rays, and a barium screening. It turned out Whisper had eaten the plastic bag one of our prints was in (she has a bad habit of chewing up art.) It basically ripped her up inside as it passed through, and she lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, after a night in the animal hospital, she stabilized and we were able to bring her home the next day, but with a pretty decently sized bill attached.
Whisper was a rescue cat, and when we got her she’d been living at the shelter for 6 months. She absolutely hated it, she was the saddest looking cat we’d ever seen, but when we picked her up for the first time she rolled over to be held like a baby. I love this cat with all my heart, and I’d do anything to help her. Black cats have a hard enough time getting adopted, they really need the extra awareness and love.
So, I’m gonna go for two birds with one stone! I’ve put up four new designs on teepublic that are on sale right now for $14, with the goal of raising a little more awareness to how wonderful black cats are. All proceeds will go towards helping pay off Whisper’s vet bills and for her gross new prescription cat food.
my grandparents have to lock their car doors when they go to sunday mass because people have been breaking in to unlocked cars and leaving entire piles of zucchini
also today i was walking my dog and some old dude, in southern fashion, stopped to talk to me about her for a solid 5 minutes and at one point she started barking at something and i said sorry she’s so loud and he said to me “aw that’s alright. she’s a coonhound so she’s got lungs fit to blow the trumpets at rapture” and then chortled as though he hadn’t just spit the southern equivalent of shakespearean improv at me on the street

periodic car horns outside (’f you ask me they sound vaguely like ducks with bad senses of direction who just scream whenever they get too close to each other)

guestimating where the parking spaces in the lot Probably are
plan an extra thirty minutes to brush six inches of frozen nonsense off your windshield and dig trenches behind your wheels before starting your commute
the windshield wiper thing when you park and pull them up so they don’t freeze and your car looks like a bug with antennae
the knowledge deep within your soul that if necessary you will pilot this vehicle directly into a snowbank and you have made your Peace with this reality
lane dividers are a thing of the past just stick to the right of the road and pray
