NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

Happy V-day to everybody except the Annoying Orange and his followers! These fucks forced my friend to uproot her family and move to Australia, to protect her trans son. I have worked for a week to rehome her pets, I will deliver to any state for gas money! Please share!

White and black dog named Odin, he looks like a pit mix and has adorable half flop ears, ~6 year old neutered male, medium size House broken & Crate trained
Vaccinations: not up to date
An ABSOLUTE LOVE that we saved from euthanization 4 yrs ago. Rescue said he's an American Bulldog, but his dual coat and build don't fit the breed. Good with all animals and kids (never been around kids younger than 10, but never had behavior issues with him) He is quite content to be lazy, sitting at your feet no matter what you are doing. He knows basic commands. He likes to eat paper towels.🙃

Brown and white dog with ice blue eyes named frost, ~2 years old unaltered male, the small end of medium size
House broken & Crate trained
Good with dogs/cats/people/kids
Vaccinations: not UTD
He was a stray we took in when we could not find his owners. Breed unknown but due to his EXTREME intelligence and look, we assume partly cattle dog.
He loves to run and play catch, and learns new commands almost instantly. Sometimes tries to herd the cats, but doesn't hurt them. When not playing, he loves to snuggle.

Half white and half tabby cat sleeps curled up hugging herself her name is LILITH
Age: ~3 years old
Sex: Spayed female
Litter trained
Other animals: Good with dogs/cats
Vaccinations: Had kitten vaccinations, but is indoor only so no further vaccines.
FIV and Feline Leukemia negative. She is small but mighty. She is adventurous and loves to be up high, this includes impersonating a parrot and she is content to lay on your shoulders. Very sweet and very vocal.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

I wish it didn't take so many paragraphs to say I'M NOT FUCKING PLAYING WITH YOU. This is just the last page. Brain fog makes this shit take a million billion years. 😮‍💨 #neisvoid

I usually post the full text but it exceeds character account, sorry. This is a screenshot of a letter I'm writing to a new doctor before my appointment because I have communication difficulties in person due to brain fog. I'm explaining why I'm uncomfortable relying solely on an x-ray to rule out craniocervical instability and requesting more imaging. It basically says X-rays are not the diagnostic standard according to the NIH and are not accurate diagnosing mild CCI. I will keep asking because despite the fact that brain fog makes everything incredibly difficult, I still research, and if it's not ruled out completely, then it's my life that's affected, not theirs. It ends with pointing out that I have an extensive medical history and medical trauma from 13 years of being dismissed as anxious, with examples of the legitimate and disabling medical conditions I have that I was told were anxiety.

This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics Take mine or make your own:

On a background of yellowed paper, bold text reads: Declaration of Life. If I disappear, I did not go willingly. If I die, it was not by my hand. Existence is resistance.
