This sucks so bad. Not surprising under this court, but still. Bullshit
BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court upholds Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors.

Robert, for the 6-3 court, holds that the law is not subject to heightened scrutiny under equal protection and passes rational basis review. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Why do I insist on going to IKEA by myself when I know a) I require adult supervision and b) I rely on public transport???

It’s National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! As most of you know, I’m a passionate advocate for adoption. Not only to save the lives of superb shelter cats like Fergus & Francie, but to withhold money from the commercial breeding world which has done tremendous harm to the health of so many “purebreds”. 💔

Big thank you to everybody who recommended Discworld books, I bought a few and I’m very excited

I understand that with Discworld there isn’t really a right or wrong place to start - but anybody have suggestions? I’ve read Mort a few times and enjoyed it, but trying to figure out how to enter the series feels intimidating. At the start? Somewhere else?

This is a deeply exciting moment: all three of our cats are asleep within 2 meters of each other. They have been chill. They have discovered they can all be near us without competing for attention, and nobody has to fight. MAGIC.

I did it I did it I did it! A coworker joked with me in French during a meeting and I joked back! In French! With the same timing as I would have had in English!

Deeply enjoying the face off between two women on a bench and general french bureaucracy. Neither will move. All just keep repeating their points.

I feel like it’s missing something, maybe we need some very well secured art? Or to paint the wall?
March 29, 2025 at 2:50 PM
I’ve been building this cat wall for our three cats and the stupid fucking platforms are the worst. My partner offered to help and put the last one up, but pointed out that him helping means I’m out of the room. So now I’m just listening to the drill not work and being happy it’s not me.

If you’re wondering what French bureaucracy is like, I moved in June. I applied for my updated residence permit in July. It was approved in February and after a month and a half of trying I finally have an appointment to pick it up!

And this is an easy process where there were no problems.

Okay so I either have a cold or the worst allergies of my life and somehow today is the day my body decided to say “Not to be dramatic, but if I stop doing things I will DIE” so I rehung a few pictures and started the cat wall

"Abolish the police" was too radical, we were told. "ok fine how about we just defund the police?" we asked. No, no, still too much. Well here we are and ICE is the gestapo disappearing people for nebulous crimes of saying things.
Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism.

We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.

In general I prefer Bluesky but my threads is currently all about Meghan Sussex and Le Creuset and it’s just happy and pretty and fun so I have spent an embarrassing about of time on there this weekend.

Starting Ritalin has had a lot of changes I didn’t anticipate, but suddenly being a total lightweight and so not really wanting to drink often/at all was not one of them.

I bought three laser pointers so we can have one in each room and why did I not do this years ago? It’s the cat equivalent of having a phone charger in every room.
