Today was the first day this month I was able to both bend my left elbow 90 degrees, AND raise my left arm over my head hooray for slowly healing from unknown injuries. 44 is super fun and cool and good so far -_-

Katherine Blanford was hilarious last night in SLC. Truly, that was a great time. one of her openers, Daniel ...something, called me out for "stonewalling" him though. I admit I'm not a great audience member when people throw out deeply homophobic remarks casually, especially in a comedy setting.

things that feel amazing: my home being clean and tidy. things are put away where they should be. know where everything is. things that never happen: house staying orderly. things being put away where they should be after use. walls/floors/countertops being cleaned regularly.

I may have gifted one of my neighbors a new pride flag because theirs was getting beat to shit by the weather over the years just as a nice random gift, because I love doing that kind of shit, truly and I may have also done it because the house across the street has this stupid sign in their window

window sign reading "THE AMERICAN FLAG IS THE FLAG EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD FLY"

I know it's worse for me right now because of Arrow dying, but holy SHIT it makes my goddamn blood boil when people abandon their pets for getting old. I would give my leg to take care of Arrow for another ten years of going deaf and senile, and people are just abandoning their babies out there‽

Took Arrow's toys and blanket for another walk. The neighbor that always barks at us did as usual, until I said "I'm sorry, buddy, he's gone. I'm so sorry." And they just stopped barking and looked sad. I know it's projecting to think they understood the words, but I think they understood overall.

I have many words. I'm just gonna put it in the alt text, because it will actually fit there.

my friend got a good candid photo of me thanking him for everything shortly before the doctor came
he cried a little bit. he knows how much I love him. I'm absolutely sure of that.

he's gone now, in spirit and in body. I'll receive his remains in a week or two from the aquamation place.
The doctor who came to help him pass on was very compassionate. I made her cry saying goodbye to and thanking him again before the drugs kicked in. Everyone at Lap of Love understood the job they're doing.

Arrow Billingsley passed on around 1730 MDT, Friday, February 13, 2026, aided by compassionate euthanasia, to ease the suffering of massive kidney failure, held close in my lap, in his own home. He did not die scared, alone, or in pain. His passing has left a giant hole in my chest, but his life has filled my heart with more love than I ever thought anything could.

He is dearly missed.

Arrow will be leaving us tomorrow evening, so I'll finally have something to resent Friday the 13th for something Please take a moment to wish him a safe and comfortable journey, and maybe that he'll eat something good before he goes. And not to spend his money all in one place And we love him.

Karateoke (special holiday edition) @karateoke.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

These photos are ten years apart to the day. The latest one is the last one taken before receiving the news that Arrow is in end stage kidney failure. He won't even eat string cheese at this point. Please hold your babies tight for us. At least I don't have to regret not loving him enough.

for someone who could not tell you when the last time they drank milk was, my diet sure is full of fermented milk and milk extracts. my diet lately is like: juice, yogurt, dried blueberries, cottage cheese, skyr, whey protein, peanut butter powder, oat milk, fiber gummies, and a handful of pills

URGENT: ... It is our tenth anniversary. Arrow just thought you should know. We just went for a nice brisk walk, and Arrow will be doing whatever the hell he wants for the rest of the evening. (mostly eating string cheese and being adorable)

I just want to remind my people that the most punk rock thing you can do right now is keep a level head and support your communities. They want us to panic. They want us to give up. They want us to isolate. Community is resistance.

The bright side of being told that Arrow dropped a pound (down to seven) and that he should really get back up to eight, is that I don't have to feel bad about eating string cheese in front of him. Here you go, little dude. Doctor's orders!

while it's extremely frustrating to find out, at 43, that you're actually super allergic to gluten, it's fuckin' wild how much better everything gets almost immediately when you stop actively poisoning yourself with your previously favorite cheap foods
