A pixel art of a skull made from 1x1 Lego pieces
I made a thing. I finished last night. It was a kit of knock-off Legos all pieces are 1x1.Took a while because the fine motor movements hurt my hands over time I still want to do another one.
Still buying puppy pads for when he rage poops. Be prepared!
Stu begins carrier desensitization today. Lots of treats in carrier and a healthy coating of nip.
Hope is he will enter the carrier willingly in the future and reduce stess when he goes to the vet.
Whelp, new anxiety unlocked. Amore doesn't stink. This has happened before. Here's hoping I remember next time.
Dis bitch, this orange cat, sitting in a box looking to camera with beautiful yellow amber eyes and an ass full of weaponized regret.
TLDR: In the future Amore gets his glands manually expressed. No mater how upsetting the process is, it's better the what happened tonight.

What ensued wame wrestling a distressed Amore into the tub to wash his stink hole. In the struggle he further expressed. ON MY ARM. (Fair considering I was trying to submerge his ass and tail in warm water.)
Eventually the chambers were empty and I began clean up.

Experience cat owners are either wincing in sympathy or cackling to themselves.
Because Amore then felt relaxed enough to release the contents of his glands on the throw in my lap, himself, the couch and me
Remember, this stuff has a...pungent odor.

Usually, the next time they poop, the plugs with release and they can express thier glands naturally, in a damn letter box.
Not Amore. Amore was uncomfortable and sought reassurance from me. I had momentarily forgotten what had occurred earlier that evening. 3of?
Nurtured cats still have these glands but most don't spray since it hormonal.
Sometimes, these glands get backed up, especially in neutered males.
(Foreshadowing..)
Amores glands were blocked. I did an initial treatment of a warm wad of toilet paper against his glands to loosen the plugs.
2of?
So, anyone who has had male cats may be aware of the issue of anal glands.
You can Google of science details. Basically boy cats have glands on either side of thier anus that make foul, stinky musk that rejects when they Spray, which is why is smells so bad.
1of?
Got it. Just usual mail stink then. :D
Maybe he smells your kitty. His butt is in the picture but his face was in the packaging.
Noem was only ever hired so they could play the 'We're not sexist! Behold a woman in authority' card. She has now proven thier belief that women can't lead so they can replace her with a man who is much worse and will simply commit atrocities in secret.
And I ready have a Too Autistic/Shit shirt but it is navy and this one is grey. Completely different shirts. I might have to buy more in different colors...for science?
The orange cat on top of three shirts I'm trying to take a picture of, dang it. Love you, Amore. Stop helping!
Bonus outake with Amore helping. I had to move him twice.
Chaotic blurry picture of three shirts. One reads Optimistic Nilhist. Tiny text reads Nothing matters. Make something matter. Second shirt reads I'm not trying to woo you. I'm just awkward. Third shirt is partially blocked by an orange cat butt and reads I'm too Autistic for this shit.
My @thebirdhive.bsky.social shirts are in! My shirts are in!
Tiny strips, maybe an inch long in a package framed by my hand thumb extended.
So I bought some magnetic strips for holding tools online. I wanted to put frequent used tools on the door of the storage cabinet and Lyn wanted few for crafting. The pictures showed the strips holding a screw driver.
That picture was a lie. Always check the actual measurements folks.
According to my parents, I met Don Johnson at some function as a child in Miami. (5 or 6?) He tried to make conversation by asking if I ever seen him and I simply said 'No. You're on past my bedtime.' then walked away.
Right, no state-wide WeeWah will be added to the list or grievances
I really just picture us flailing at each other in excitement when I see this response.
For me, the additional moment of 'Hey, I know you're productive and afraid of losing it but you're allowed to stop so you're not in pain later' was really difficult to get to but very freeing.
Still struggle with it tho.
They will be so soft and comfy!
My @thebirdhive.bsky.social shirts are in! My BirdHive shirts are in! My BirdHive shirts are in! I can't pick them up until Friday. ARRRRRRRG *flails*
Also? Some places just put in the signs and the flashing lights but don't actually have the cameras since they are expensive and take a lot of labor to review.
People /thinking/ they're being watched is often enough.
Consider how the parts of the gov are accessing all capture sources like this to grab people...no...not yet.
Close up of a hand from Klimt's Judith I. It is shaped like a claw. Claw hands.
Klimt's Claw Hands
Hot take: Gustav Klimt was crap at drawing hands. He either hid them or ended up with claw hands.
It's amazing how much bigots think they can just extend their privilege to those they care about. They always seem so surprised that they are not above the rules.
I moved here 30 years ago.
I'm originally from Boston. I will nev'ah be from he'ah. But I have been accepted like that one lost donkey in the horse herd.
A good society endeavors to reduce suffering and give great opportunities to future generations.
I never understood the petty mentality of 'I suffer(ed), so should others'. Vindictive against future generations or living children.
I suffered. It sucked. I don't want that for anyone.
