there is no choice but to pursue it

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.

But like, treatment (in particular mindfulness training) is built around letting thoughts and feelings just pass, without action, without judgment, and it makes a strong case that feelings and thoughts are entirely neutral. I have had incredibly upsetting intrusive thoughts. But none of them define me, its what I do with them that makes me who I am! Actions can be harmful, but thoughts and feelings which never get acted on...Aren't. Not even a little bit.

And well, once you go through this treatment, you realize how much of society is built around hating people for their thoughts and feelings rather than the effects of their actions. And I just well and truly wish that people wouldnt. It actually speaks a lot to a persons strength of character if they have thoughts and feelings which, if acted upon directly would be harmful...but choose actively instead to seek help, be better, find safer outlets for thoughts and feelings. In fact, I'd say all of them are much less harmful than anyone who spreads hate based on "thoughtcrime" mentality.

hi :3 im a multiply disabled 20 y/o trans girl. im moderate autistic and chronically suicidal- due to conditions out of my control. i had to drop out of high school, and in my country that makes jobs way less available- im lucky enough to work fulltime but it pays very little.

im going to get my adult leavers cert, but that requires time taken off work i cant really afford to take :/

theres a huge variety of things that would make life less painful rn- disability supports, furniture more suited to my chronic pain, etc

i know its a lot to ask, but i really need help making things less Actively Hostile to me- hopefully this is the last time i have to ask for help! things are looking up once i can afford to take the adult diploma!

i need about 1500 USD to make things actually livable. this will go towards things like medical care and accommodations and helping with things while i get the adult matric.
