I have to collect the stool sample before tomorrow is oncology appointment for Lady Marmalade. Except she's being very tricky and she's not doing her business where I can reach. Tomorrow is our second round of treatment on the new plan so fingers crossed I can get the poop.😂

I definitely have daydreams while I brainstorm! I get the full cinematic treatment. When in actually writing? Not so much😂 I'm focusing on how the words sound together. This means all of my first drafts are shallow & I have to pull out my day dreams again for the editing process. #PretendPanel

I've had to take a break on my plasma donation to earn funds for Marmalade's treatment. I ended up giving myself a hematoma & saline solution infiltration. I can't continue until fully healed. So if you can help, please do! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated and shared so far! ❤️😭

🐾 UPDATE 🐾 Marmalade & I were able to get onto a program with more funding. So I am able (for now) to lower the fundraising goal by half! We still might have to do radiation treatments in the future. For now, however, we're focusing on immune injection therapy. 2nd round starts next week!

Sometimes people get heated when I make a comment on my nativeness. Regardless if I'm making a joke or talking serious. I never deny that I'm white. I mean look at me! Virtue signalers have a bad habit of making minority groups a monolith & they stay mad when proven wrong. Sorry not sorry. 😘

I'm hoping to raise another $2k to cover last week's visit & next week's treatment. There's an itemized report on the GFM page. Thanks for loving Marmalade! #fuckcancer

Marmalade's babysitter didn't want her to be out while I was gone. Which is totally fine! Still, she was very happy yesterday to stretch her legs, fill her lungs, and give a few squirrels a menacing glare. She loves walking the dogs with me & in happy she has the energy for it.❤️

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Marmalade is back from her first surgery. She's very stoned. So I put her in a dark room, gave her snacks & the b side to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." Have a good trip, baby.

Tomorrow is our second biopsy. We're looking at around $700 for all that comes with that (Surgery. Lab work. Followup. Aftercare.) I'll be speaking with the facility about payment plans because Marmalade's last two visits wiped out my entire dog walker paycheck. 🫠 #fuckcancer

There's a thing (trend?) on UK tiktok suggesting the top 5 UK accents Americans won't understand. I suppose that depends on the American. Those of us who listen to Bob Dylan and know what Boomhauer is saying 100% of the time aren't going to get confused by Brumies.

Marmalade did let the soreness from the vaccines stop her from her daily walk with Coco. Her lumpy shaved spot is where the surgery will be. Wednesday we'll learn if the sarcoma can be removed from surgery & chemo or amputation. #tortitude #catlady

Excuse me while I cry getting compared to THE Stephen Graham Jones. Boooy he lies so pretty! Seriously though, my first review for THE BALLAD OF A MUSCOGEE TRAPPER. 🥺 #horror #books

A five-star review on Goodreads for the ballad of a Muscogee Trapper "dark and gritty and full of Western vibes almost reminiscent of the Buffalo Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. I haven't read a lot of Western horror but this book makes me want to dive into the genre."
