"It's Giving Me The Death Giggles"

Now I have to write a letter to help get my cousin out of ICE holding. ICE propaganda says they help catch the worst of the worst.

He came to my graduation and planned an after party for me. He was going to teach me how to dance.

An amorphous black blob thingy that shape-shifts into any hazard related thing.

apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.

dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!

although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!

on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.

furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.

annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D

As for the study itself, the 360 day follow up on stage 3 kidney failure kitties showed that the control had a survival rate of about 20%, while the test group had a survival rate of 80%

shout out to phillys boat for having THE PRIDE FLAG UP!!!

When I say tradwife I do mean tradwife… I wrote this after seeing a Facebook post by a pregnant lesbian whose wife was her egg donor—the comments were flooded with top replies by adult adoptees telling her that the child she would give birth to would be inherently traumatized by growing up with a stranger in the house pretending at motherhood. I saw similar comments on a post by a woman talking about how anti-abortion laws forced her to go through the agonizing process of giving up her baby for adoption. The replies were filled with angry (Christian) adoptees essentially calling her a slut, child abuser, and a sinner for rejecting God’s will in ordaining her as a mother.

I've been made aware that, starting a few days ago, Discord's AI has been false flagging grid images as illegal material and getting many accounts banned

So I'd suggest not sending images (or at least checkered images) or communicate elsewhere until it's (hopefully) patched

I hope it's not real.

But I've been seeing a lot of posts about it. So just to be safe, I'm warning my followers and everyone else that sees this post.

It isn't a hoax....

Do not send screenshots of transparents with checkered backgrounds

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.
