Ugh, this is so frustrating. Have you tried adding more litter boxes? You've had him yonks so surely he's got all the high places / food/water sources / hiding places etc he could possibly need (but those are the things the behaviourist told us to basically double while we sorted it out). This sucks

despite this clearly being 'the accessible performance' that they crammed the tactile tour and the auslan and the captions all into (and the audio description!). it was still multiple rounds of emails and suggested phone calls to get the seats booked. WHY IS IT HARDER.

I went to a 'tactile tour' before seeing Mackenzie! at arts centre the other day, and I loved having captions for the songs and being able to see the auslan interpreters (albeit not _in line with the stage_)... but booking for that performance was apparently a similar nightmare requiring many emails

The Authors Guild are in partnership with an AI Licensing company. They're trying to funnel members to this company in the guise of 'earning more' from their books. But even if an author is paid for a 3 year licence, their books are in the meat grinder for good. There's no way to extract titles.

A Tokyo team has a kidney treatment that’s helping cats live longer. Most mammals carry a blood protein, AIM, that works like a cleanup crew. A cat’s AIM isn’t built to do this, which is part of why cats are so prone to kidney disease. buff.ly/yIsl8ds #ShareGoodNewsToo

Likewise, it may be that the amount of CO2 that AI will generate atmosphere before it "solves climate change" will render Earth permanently unfit for humans, consuming the only habitable planet capable of sustaining human life in the known universe. 29/

Rivers are living beings.
A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

Cats.
Two cats are sitting and standing respectively on the edge of a computer table. You can see a monitor with several windows behind them, and a mouse under the back cat. A grey cat looks down from the corner of a home made shelf. A grey cat is wearing a black harness and blue leash, and licking his lips as he stands in some dead and dying grass. A brown cat is sitting on my chest as I recline in an armchair. I am holding a kindle, but can't see it because of the cat. I have greeny blue hair. The chair is brown.

This is the reality of means-testing and work requirements. Even those on the left can fall for this stuff and ignore the costs. To end this madness, we need to go universal. No more means-testing or conditions. Universal basic income, healthcare, and education. And tax the rich more than they get.

After the first $500 emergency vet microenema (literally identical product to human pharmacy), we kept them at home (and modified his diet as above). I don't begrudge the emergency vet their fee - they had to staff and test and etc - but such cheap human products avoided regular repeat visits.

For Heidegger's final years he got a variety of human grade products in his food for constipation/megacolon - fibre powder (eg unflavoured metamucil) (daily for that one); lactulose syrup via syringe when needed. And when it happened anyway, $2 microenema-for-humans.
