(This is also a great reason to not let your cats wander unsupervised outdoors!! you have no idea where they go or what toxins they're exposing themselves to, and asiatic lilies are extremely common landscaping plants)

re: prev repost, seriously, don't fuck with lilies if you have cats in the house. I don't even plant them in my yard and I only ever take cats out leashed and supervised. My aunt's cat got out once on accident and chewed on one, they rushed him to the vet, and he was in intensive care for days

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!

Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.

You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.

I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

A photo collage showing various posters I illustrated/designed, featuring various organisms found in a particular biome or of a specific group. They are on colorful backgrounds. A rounded orange rectangle with text reads β€œBirthday Print Sale! Take 20% off all prints, applied automatically at checkout!”, along with a link to my shop (shop.fossilforager.art). The sale ends 3/15 at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

When I lost my cat of 14 years I thought I was supposed to grieve for an "appropriate amount of time" before looking at getting new cats, it felt kind of wrong to 'move on' so quick, but honestly I'm so glad I did. It makes such a huge difference to have somewhere to put all that extra love

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared.
You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. πŸͺΆ

I don't typically get the heebiejeebies from reading a book but this one got real tense!! I had a good time!! and I love the storytelling tradition it keeps with, the way the story loops back in on itself in a few different ways is really engaging

Finished reading "The Only Good Indians" by Stephen Graham Jones and it was incredible, I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of horror novels and can stomach some pretty visceral depictions of violence/gore.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

all this to say if you want my hot take about the ending of E33 hmu and also I am feeling so vindicated. I did a media analysis all by myself

finished E33, finally got to talk to my bestie about it, and was SO validated when we immediately agreed completely on the ending LMAOOOO

I'm pretty sure our agreement is a bit of a Hot Take but it's the sort of thing you can't even really allude to without getting into spoiler territory, rip
