Do not watch the HBO series.

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

Her tumor turned out to be grade 3 cancerous. Which is the worst result it could be.

She needs more tests to see if it has spread to her nodes. She may also need chemotherapy.

The vet says that the median survival rate is 6-9 months.

Please help me make her time left as good as possible.

I have to put my ego down.

I need help. The surgery is more than I thought, and I've already spent $1300.

Both surgeries total $7000.

If not to help me, please help my cat. Please share.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

This entire thread breaks down in detail exactly what is happening in these videos - examples of assets being stolen, WHERE they are stolen from (including original video refs!), their use in fabricated war propaganda, and more.

This is the level of effort being put into manufacturing your consent.
