Just a little creature. I am made for perils, as well as for tenderness. I do shelter medicine and general wandering in Chicago! (they/she)

"with Claude, we will no longer need lightly stoned weirdos who work at record stores because they are neurodivergent as hell and some band you've never heard of but is about to change your life is their special interest" these tech bros really hate anyone who was cooler than them in high school

did a 16th century fashion study but made it spoopy
bust of a figure dress in a 16th century kirtle with a slashed bodice and chemise overflowing at the shoulders where voluminous sleeves are tied, though the figure herself is a bit strange with skin tags and growth on the crown of her head, hidden by a skull mask with eyes glowing in the sockets.

If we had infinite money/staff/supplies to offer care free of charge to everyone who needs it, this would not be a nationwide crisis. But it is. Because we don't. And we're doing what we can, and we're sorry that can't help everyone, but don't fucking say we don't care about you because we do

There are too many animals and too large of medical bills and not enough money and I GET IT trust me I do, but I'm tired of getting yelled at for not caring enough or not doing enough when we are quite literally doing everything we can reasonably do

Started typing up a whole dang thread about the inside baseball of the rising costs of vet care and the impact that has on pet owners, but I think I'll just settle for asking people to stop putting their anger on clinic staff that truly wish they could help but have limitations of their own

favorite part of my morning is when my two little kitties repeatedly trade off who gets to sit on my lap and get their scritches and smooch meters refilled after the long night. and then they usually immediately get in a judo match because one of them has a toy the other wants or something
