I haven't cried from humans passing away in a long while, but there's been many tears this morning for this sweet, gentle boy. He was really the best ❤️

I'm sorry I never pet you right, buddy, I was always too gentle, but you were so excited for love that you didn't care that I pet you like a cat

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

I hate having to resort to this but Mr.Stake is in a real bad way and his vet bills piled up way faster than I ever imagined.

Anything would be appreciated even just a share if you're understandably strapped. ❤️

Trans kids,

Many of you won’t read this, because you don’t know you’re trans yet. You just think you’re wrong or broken. You’re not. You’re beautiful and wonderful. You just don’t fit into the box everyone expects you to. Embrace yourself first, and you’ll find your place.

"'The harsh reality is that it tends to be trans people saving each other,' Angel says. 'If we could depend on cis people to protect us, then maybe we wouldn’t need to fundraise, or share each other’s mutual aid posts, or even do this interview.'"

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people.

It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

Massive account Aesthetica tweets: “I am now 100% confident that Charlie's assassination was carried out by a radical left wing transgender terror cell.
Let's get into the evidence (…)”

Elon Musk quotes saying “seems likely”

Cernovich tweets: “Matt Walsh had his phone hacked, doxxed, and people showing up to kill him. Over the trans issue.
They are exceptionally violent. Not for me to
"defend Israel," especially as that side has treated me very badly over the years. But I don't think it wa...”

Matt Walsh quotes: “Anyone who's been in the trenches fighting these trans militants knows that they are inherently violent. On a level far beyond any other political or ideological faction. Deranged, deeply hateful, angry at themselves and the world. Suicidal. The threat they pose is very serious.”

A user, Connor Tomlinson, tweets: “It's time for a complete and total ban on cross-sex hormones.
They cannot change your sex...”

Elon Musk quotes it saying: “absolutely”

Hey. Seriously. I hate having to clang bells, but I'd really appreciated if you called your senator today to tell them to oppose this. I'm safer in Cali but just barely, and so many will suffer
