I'm in two vastly different starter packs, so Intro post time!

Hi, I'm Cat. The cat in my icon is named Dreadful. He's an adolescent in that picture, but he's now 18.

I'm a queer, polyam American immigrant to Canada.

I'm currently surviving on a diet of fanvids, figure skating and bibimbap.

NEW: Earlier this month, I spent the day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity.

In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE.

In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

While I was in Hawaii I had to go to the ER to get all my meds renewed because I left Canada in such a rush I wasn't able to get them done before I left.

I know how expensive US ERs are, so I first checked what the standard base fee for a visit to that ER is and was quoted $200.

So, while I'm not fan of Mark Kelly, I will say I'm entertained by the fact that *he's* the guy this administration has decided to target, the clean-cut former astronaut/fighter ace with a universally beloved wife. Wow, guys, why don't you accuse apple pie & baseball of sedition while you're at it?

AI is a very general term, you have to be more specific. Do you mean the AI that stole my copyright, the chatbot causing teen suicide and psychosis, the deepfake porn of women without their consent, the bots driving political division or the ones polluting communities and driving electric bills up?

Welp, my flight from Kona to Calgary will instead be landing in Saskatoon! In all my years of flying this is the first time I've ever been diverted to a different airport.

A 3x3 grid titled "What is a social media site?" It has "reach purist", "reach neutral", and "reach radical" as its columns, and it has "structure purist", "structure neutral", and "structure radical" as its rows. There are descriptors for each label. Reach purist says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by anyone". Reach neutral says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by a target audience." Reach radical says, "A social media site allows users to post messages." Structure purist says, "A social media site is a live service that lives on the Internet, providing feeds of posts to users." Structure neutral says, "A social media site is accessible via a computer." Structure radical says, "A social media site is anywhere people can send messages." The blocks are: Structure purist, reach purist: "Bluesky is a social media site." Structure purist, reach neutral: "Discord is a social media site." Structure purist, reach radical: "Nostr is a social media site." Structure neutral, reach purist: "Craigslist is a social media site." Structure neutral, reach neutral: "AIM was a social media site."

YES.

Stevia/sucralose is my most reliable migraine trigger, and it's in *everything* these days.

Petition to make brands disclose any weird sweeteners they used instead when they have No Sugar Added labels.

Stevia is disgusting and gives me a headache and I don’t appreciate being ambushed with it

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Can we tell the pro women’s sports people that it would be absolutely ok if the players are fulfilling their own dreams and not just “doing it for the next generation?” I wrote about this once lol

I’m howling.
Recently, Clifford "Buzz" Grambo decided to upgrade his electric scooter. The old one he had purchased online only reached 16 mph and wasn't cutting it anymore. He needed to go faster to keep up with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement cars he chases around Baltimore. So, Grambo bought a Segway MAX G3, which features a 2,000-watt motor and can get up to 28 mph. "The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was," he told me when we first spoke on the phone in late October. "They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter!"
