I MEAN LOOK AT THE LIGHT THAT SWIVELS OUT. AND THE CUBBIES. DEAR GOD, THE CUBBIES.
You could put a kitten in each one to look at you.
There's no news in fear
I had a whole post written about sexism and racism at OWS and Slutwalk, with a particularly gleeful dig at a person who works my nerves but I’m setting it to draft. It’s just more words when words are kind of the problem, words from people like me and our thinky thoughts.

Monster Update
Thank you, everyone who has inquired. We are home from the hospital. I will bring her back tomorrow or Monday to see the renal specialist. If her numbers aren’t better they will admit her. She has a severe infection and one of her kidneys is failing. They hope as the infection gets better, her kidney might improve. She got really sick like this once almost 10 years ago, but she is so old,...

You fucking monsters.
