and while I was writing this Nar smelled the baggie of treats in my pocket and began climbing all over me going "TREEEEATSSS??" so now they're both in the living room, looking for the treats I've scattered around. XD #kittenthings #catthings
Raziel had a quick vet visit for weighing and med dose adjustment, because he is a quickly-growing kitten. he spent most of the visit cavorting around the exam room, sniffing everything, getting fed treats, and purring quietly--and now he's cavorting around the house, playing with EVERYTHING and mewing happily. I'm glad to be acclimating him to positive vet visits! #kittenthings
TLDR: to most online bad actors, "I'll tell your mom!" is a MUCH less important factor in controlling behavior than "I can push a button and take away ALL your content and influence".
@Leucrotta @Jacel "DONKEY!"

uspol, pdxpol // police disinfo
police disinformation in the wake of the august 4 protests has been wild: first they said they opened fire because somebody threw a water bottle, then they said it was a rock, then explosives, then M-80s...
they reject that anyone was wounded by their munitions but they sent cops to local hospitals to look for injured protesters. they want the injured to come forward but nobody trusts that they won't be detained for speaking out.
One of the weirdest side effects of capitalism is that it neatly debunks a lot of "paranormal mysteries".
The best (and best-known) example is the Bermuda Triangle: if there were actually an unusual number of ships and planes going down, vanishing, etc. in the Triangle, insurance rates for vehicles traveling through it would be higher than for those going similar distances but not traveling through it.
(They're not.)
@Jo @noelle @porsupah o-kay, time to take it off my regular reading list, then. I can't wait until he discovers TERFs and goes on *that* fucking rampage, hoo boy. :| the last month or so has made me actually yell "NUANCE MOTHERFUCKER!" at the comic several times, so probably best to bail now, if he's just doubling down in the face of feedback.
@Leucrotta heeeeeeee
@Jacel @Leucrotta "INUYASHAAAAAA!!" "KAGOMIIIIII!" (or whatever her name was yeesh)
Otherkin, history, mh, probably -
@Jacel "if you can't be in the bod you love, love the bod you're in" yeah, I can dig it. XD and that's where I am, fwiw.
also fwiw, I never wonder if I'm "otherkin enough" to hang out with otherkin--fuck 'em, I'm exactly as otherkin as I am, if they don't like it they can fuck right off--but I *constantly* worry that I'm not trans enough to hang with transfolk. six of one, half dozen of the other. :\
@Jacel awwww. *bitebite* :D

<+ UPDATE> Urgent (<24 hrs) Seattle area asylum seeker housing (pls boost)
Another attourney working on the case may have found a family member in another state.
“We will know in the morning if the client gets bond. If he is released to his family, he will need $ for travel and a place to stay for a night or two while things get figured out. I will update you all tomorrow morning! Thanks for springing into action!”
Urgent (<24 hrs) Seattle area asylum seeker housing (pls boost)
Are there church groups or others who might be willing and able to sponsor him so we can get him out of custody? He needs housing/basic needs and also someone with legal status who will promise to get him to court as needed. I don’t know that those need to be the same person.
