EVERYONE, A WORD IF YOU PLEASE:
Thanksgiving is upon us. Many of you are looking upon the day with dread, I know. Please know: you are not alone. You are not the only person who feels alienated when they're around family. You're not the only one who is dealing with judgmental, bigoted, prejudiced relatives.
That is not to attempt to lessen your struggles; they are valid! But you're not alone! You have a whole support network here. Be strong and pull through!

Hey #LGBTQ kids:
I just wanted to remind you guys of yourholidaymom.com, because it's that time of year and there are people out there who will give you the love and support you deserve.
gaming, capitalism
Income inequality has created people who can afford to -be- whales, and the market has created commodities to suit them.
All of the devastated bank and credit accounts of children and vulnerable people are, from the perspective of the marketplace, either an undesirable side effect or pure gravy from a commodity being consumed by people outside of its target demographic, IE, people with mad stacks o' cash.
anyway, I'm home now, dishes are washing, clothes are drying, fridge is full, most of my to-do list is already checked off, and I can just sit and relax and realize how much I overstressed my back muscles shoveling out the dirt from the bottom of the squirrel enclosures, ow ow ow. maybe I should take an ibuprofen or something. >__<
Will y'all take a minute to vote for a BLACK WOMAN-OWNED non-profit?
They're currently in 2nd place for a grant. Help them get to 1st place & just vote. :)
wildlife rehab/rescue volunteering (mostly dull)
on the other hand, the other four bear cubs are doing great--they're hibernating, with occasional moments of EXTREMELY CRANKY AND LOUD GRONKING. cranky bears, at least small ones, sound kind of hilarious but also kind of alarming, in an instinctive "this animal could eat me" way.
the two lynx cubs are also great, the sole remaining seal pup is due for release this week I think, there's some pigeons and owls and otherwise not much!
