Oh I feel fairly certain she’s treating me like mom. She’s kitten size compared to me, I bring food and she knows it, she kneads on me and finds me for comfort.

BEY03F is a great name. bee-yowf
There’s a wolf in LA for the first time in 100 years. A collared gray wolf entered the mountains of north Los Angeles County yesterday. Known as “BEY03F” she traveled hundreds of miles from her pack in Plumas County crossing highways, mountains, creeks and valleys.

It really is growling reserved for capitalism and what makes it nigh impossible to take time off. But growling all the same.

Sending in drafts while the period's hitting makes me wish I were sending a physical copy I could crumple, dip in tea, and shove into an inbox.

The trans war flag.
Had some fun with this! Deeper colours than the peacetime trans flag, square, with a guisarme on it- a peasant's weapon that's particularly good at fighting anyone rich enough to be on a horse, that you can use as a farmer's tool in peacetime.
