Damn right, I'm a KANT. And, now, I have the membership card to prove it.
Update: This neo-völkisch neo-pagan turnip who insists he isn't racist has been posting essays demanding that Facebook punish me for being mean to neo-Nazis.
Awkwardly for him, he's gotten supportive comments from folks cheering on hate for immigrants, liberals, Muslims, etc.

Musings during my early meeting...
If your entire party/group/movement is based on hate, then you shouldn't be surprised when it "fractures and falls apart."
Movements based on building up and include tend to linger and maintain relevance.

Shadow has come home.
The candle is lit to remind her where home is as she crosses into the beyond. Her journey is complete. We will see her again.

I picked up Shadow's remains from the vet. I started crying when the bag with her box, paw print, and the unexpected fur clipping was handed to me.
I then picked up Mana from boarding. She knows the bag brings me sadness. Mana has been consoling me since we got home.
My girls are the best.

I guess the universe had a "hold my beer" moment and dialed it to eleven... As I was already feeling sad because Shadow wasn't trailing behind me while doing house work.
Apparently, my mom's cell service didn't "store and resend" the messages from last week. She just directly asked about Shadow because I was only messaging about Mana to her questions about tday. All the feelings are bubbling up: sick, sad, guilt, and depressed. And I am low-key crying.

Again, for the people in the back...
Love being reminded that shitty people don't only come from outside, but within our own community as well
Choosing to put down someone based on how they identify makes you a dipshit

Like just let people exist and be happy, fuck

I'm thankful for my very supportive friends. And their skills at hiding the bodies with no questions asked.

Mana and I are starting to find our new normal. She has come to enjoy dragging me around the block in the morning. Her "hurry the fuck up and stop taking my picture" look says it all.

Mana wanted to go for a walk, basically jumping out of her fur. She was hyper vigilant the whole walk. When we got home, she ran through the whole house. Then, I got a nasty look.
Mana was looking for Shadow.

First Sunday laundry day without Shadow, who literally was my shadow giving attitude I wasn't sitting still... It is taking immense effort to not call for her.
Mana has taken up residence in the front room, and she refuses to come when I call her. So, she's getting run-by pets and scritches.

The sun has risen and set, the first full day without Shadow. I light this candle so she can find her way home.

Never realized how much of an instigator Shadow was until this last week. And even more so today.
I had it backwards all these years. Mana is the dependent, while Shadow was the co-dependent.
Now, I'm trying to be more interactive with a very depressed Mana, while dealing with my own depression.

I'm both thankful and sorry my co-worker took OnCall from me this weekend.
But I need to grieve, and he has given me the room to do so.
