Crits For Cats, Inc. Cat Rescue @crits4cats.org · 7h

Our dear dear friend Haley at @friendsofbear.bsky.social has a very sick, sweet geriatric kitty who is in the hospital dealing with some stuff. She posted on her IG that all she’d like for her birthday today is some donations for his care: linktr.ee/friendsofbear

friendsofbearcatrescue one of my favorite little FoB sanctuary buddies Mr. Peaches is currently in the hospital
no pressure but it's my birthday today
and I would love nothing more than if you could donate toward his hospital bill so we can give him the best chance
our donation links are in our bio!
Peaches came to us at the end of May after 13 hard years on the street. His time outside definitely showed, he was in horrendous shape and weighed 5
Ibs of mostly fleas. Since then, we have been managing his various conditions. He's dealt with anemia, congestion, gastric ulcers, kidney disease, horrible dental disease... the list goes on. We've been slowly chipping away at these issues and he was actually starting to feel pretty good! A couple weeks ago, he started backsliding and I've been trying to figure him out. This weekend, it became clear he was declining and what I was doing at home wasn't enough, so I had to admit him to the hospital.
Peaches is dealing with an infection, dehydration, another gastric ulcer, pretty awful congestion and a mild hit to his kidneys. Thankfully, after 24 hrs of fluids, he's showing improvement. Through all of this, he continues to have the loudest purr and best headbutts for everyone who helps him
I feel hopeful that we can get Peaches back on track and give him more time to feel loved and cherished, something he missed out on for his first 13 years of life. If you're able to pitch in $1 or $5 toward his care, we would all appreciate it more than you know.
Everyone who has met this little guy knows how special he is and how much he wants to stick around
thank you all as always for the ongoing support for these gross cats, they are my heart and soul and your donations and kind comments mean the world to me

Dennis Hastert died (not to be confused with Dennis Haskins who also recently died)

In case you don’t know, one was famous for his interactions with teenage boys. The other was the principal on Saved by the Bell

Imagine if instead of regulating drone risks the normal way (which we did), we instead paid weird bloggers lots of money to worry about superintelligent dogs sprouting thumbs and using drones to kill us. This is pretty much how the US is approaching AI risks and regulations. My latest:

Why We Can't Let Enormous Weirdos Regulate AI

Imagine if instead of regulating drones via the standard lengthy, boring, and bureaucratic process - which we did - we instead decided, in the name of fostering all-important American drone innovation...

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

T-Rex: Death comes to us all...

T-Rex: ...or so THEY claim.

T-Rex: Isn't it SUSPICIOUS that we have APHORISMS about how mortality is both inevitable and universal? Isn't that exactly the kind of propaganda you'd EXPECT if it really WASN'T, but a secret group of powerful immortals wanted you to THINK that it was?
Dromiceiomimus: But mortality IS both inevitable and universal!
T-Rex: Oh, Dromiceiomimus.

T-Rex: "We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable - but then, so did the divine right of kings."
Utahraptor: So?

T-Rex: Ursula K. Le Guin said it.
Utahraptor: Yeah, and she was LITERALLY talking about capitalism, not SECRET IMMORTAL PROPAGANDA REGIMES!
T-Rex: Writers FAMOUSLY use metaphors.
Utahraptor: They also use words literally and for their INTENDED PURPOSE!

Narrator: LATER:

There are two very different ways to say "Never heard of it!" 1. "I, a person of great taste and importance who has heard of everything good, have never heard of this thing, hence it must be a bag of wank." 2. "Tell me more. I love finding out about new things, especially if they are brilliant."

I really wanted that "Let Me Solo Him" achievement and mount, enough so that I leveled my druid and learned to play the healer spec so I had any chance at all. Heh. Thirty or so of those kills were of my frost mage main, and honestly it felt like a lot more than that.
