With a heavy heart, I come to you all with the news announced by close friends of Cat Frazier that she had passed away on Monday, June 29.

She had been running @animatedtext since 2012, with her impact on the internet SHAPING tumblr. If you have a years long history on this site, you’ve seen her art.

She ran a venue in Oakland called Oakland Secret, a punk venue where I’d vend at regularly as an artist. She made a safe space for queer artists, artists of color, and local furs too. I am forever grateful for her work both in the Bay Area creative scene and online, and am forever changed by the totality of her impact.

I’ll be linking some articles from the 2010’s about her impact online: The Fader | Action | Jezebel | ObviouslySocial

I invite you to take a visit through her archive, and if you have a long history with this site like I do, it’s like walking down memory lane. (open link in browser)

and the post begins

because otherwise it gets kind of visually confusing to parse, which is annoying to some folks, including me

GRANTED not everybody uses the same theme or even the same update. you might have noticed my version of tumblr is earlier than yours (I don't like the new button setup)

but still, it's just about being polite

I have a 2003 Corolla (it was my Grambone’s- she made it to 101 and a half years of life) and the check engine light came on and I took it to one of those places to run the diagnostics for free and it said the thermostat needs to be replaced-

How urgent is this? The car itself only has about 90K miles on it and my regular place charges $250 baseline for a check engine light and I’m getting ready to move in a couple months and I’m afraid to ignore it but also unsure I can afford it- what should I do?

Definitely get it done, but nobody will be offended if you get a few quotes for the work. You might be able to save a bit. Just call various places with decent reviews, tell them 03 Corolla thermostat replacement, they'll tell you how much. Don't drive it in the meantime if you can help it.

Things that will make it overheat include idling in traffic, especially with air conditioner going, or driving up steep hills.
