Pixel the Mighty was an amazing cat. My baby kitten of 20lbs. I adored her & she, I know loved me. She also loved head butts, or kisses as we called them & licking the sticky part of tape.. I'm going to miss her more than I can say. 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭

Pixel the Mighty was an amazing cat. My baby kitten of 20lbs. I adored her & she, I know loved me. She also loved head butts, or kisses as we called them & licking the sticky part of tape.. I'm going to miss her more than I can say. 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
to raise $ for her surgery. If putting her through the stress & pain of the surgery would result in her living.. Not if it woukd be worth it to ME. That was NOT something I considered. It was, how likely was it that she'd Live after being put through all that pain.. The answer was; Not likely..🥺
Talked to the vet again - he said Pixie's prognosis wasn't good enough to get assistance w/ the surgery. He said even w/ the resources of a vet, he would choose to euthanize. Yes, I absolutely asked him that tough question. I NEEDED to know if it was Worth putting her through the pain while I tried
Cw: suicide It’s very relevant to note that without proper accommodations and support it’s not uncommon for Autistic children to start having suicidal ideation at ages 8 and younger.
Ok. I'm gona try that one but, I'm betting we don't qualify. We're just above the income level on most assistance programs for stuff like this, but, worth a shot Idk if her prognosis is good enough either. Might not be. Will ask the vet too.. They want you to exhaust any other options 1st.
Thank you hon. I appreciate it. That one has a $500 maximum & you have to apply & have it approved. Which takes time Pixel prolly doesn't have. That 4k cost? Was at a place that vet knows that providrs discounts on pet care..🥺 I just... Fuck, fuck, fuck. 🥺
FUCK!!! God Damnit!! Aaaaaahhhh, fuck, fuck fuck, fuck, fuck!!! Pixel has a hernia, part of her intestine is bound up in it. Surgery is 4k. Minimum. Maybe as much as 8k. We don't have it, there's no way. FUCK!!
I feel awful cuz, we couldn't bring Gobbles home w/ us for her to smell & know. They were Very bonded, not siblings, just, Gobbles took care of Pixie when we got her... But, we couldn't bury him ourselves, we live in an apt & cremation After bringing him home would be Another $500😬
She can fuck all the way off! I hope she never has a peaceful vacation ever again...😡😡

FUCK! This is it! Isn’t it? Yes, of course there were the misogyny, the racism, and the ageism, but the cardinal sin of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, AND Kamala Harris was not centering white voters and putting up with their disingenuous bullshit.
And, that whatever treatment she needs isn't more than we can afford, cuz, we're Really close to that now & I'm afraid I'm gona lose Pixie too. Damnit, damnit, damnit.. 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
While we wait for x-rays to come back. I Don't think we can afford surgery.. We're already at 1k..😕 With Gobbles, it was partially that they were only giving him a 25% chance of recovering AND we didn't have anything close to 5k. Just, hoping it's NOT an obstruction & she responds to treatment..
Y'all if you have a moment, please send good vibes, prayers.. Pixie is Very ill. Vet isn't sure if this is just an infection or if she has an obstruction in her gut cuz she ate something she shouldn't. They're sending her x-ray to a specialist to see wtf. Doing Antibiotics, IV & anti nausea drug..
Sigh… I can almost guarantee you and your regressive friends said bs like “l’ll hold my nose and vote for her” or “the Dems are the lesser of 2 evils”. It’s a brand for y’all. It’s voter support and we tried to warn y’all about that too. My demographic knows both parties aren’t the same 🤷🏾♀️
From unemployment to healthcare to education…republicans target Black communities with laser focus. They make it a point to try to decimate our middle class and target our children. It’s privilege that even lets you consider both parties being the same.

I wouldn't bother. My boss is a smart guy. He'd figure it out eventually.
600?!?! Out of 1.45 BILLION people?
These dummies are still screaming about M4A & ignoring the most obvious thing. 🗣There was no chance at all of getting M4A under any Republican because they all believe in making everyone fend for themselves. They want to roll back the ACA but in the alternate reality of regressives that’s not true.
Actually…THIS is why Harris lost. Did you think he was joking about being a dictator? Did you think he was joking when he said he would roll back student loan forgiveness? Project 2025 was a joke? He’d crack down on universities? Well guess what…WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. Fix your demographic!!!
Thanks. I tried to give them both the best life I could.. They're 3 mo apart in age, 14 or 15 yrs old.. We got Gobbles cuz no one wanted him & Pixie cuz she was the runt & the breeder didn't think she'd live..
Aww! That's really Cool!
Thanks. I knew he wasn't feeling well.. I didn't realize how bad. Pixel hasn't been feeling well either & has an appointment today. 🥺
So, I'd made 2 vet appointments, Pixel's is today. She hadn't been feeling well Either & I couldn't manage taking them both at once.. She's always upset when Gobbles is at vet, she didn't eat yesterday.. But Gobbles didn't come home 🥺 & Pixie didn't eat this morning either. 🥺
During his first term, I always said, Pence is the more evil one, because I saw what he did here as Governor. The press gave him a pass because he's the aww shucks quiet guy. Yeah I'll celebrate when he goes, but there's way more evil fuckers behind him.
There are conservative democrats and like the other constituencies in the big tent, they deserve to be heard
I just want to drag their reporters and affiliates. CNN's as well. Bring their asses here. I had fun watching Velshi spiral out the last few days. And Joy can catch some heat too, cause she was shucking a lot until they got tired of her.
Right?! Ugh. Nearly every single cable news host pissed me off regularly before I finally canceled cable. I was only keeping it for a couple scifi shows. 🤣😂
Thank you! 😁🥰🤣😂
Hear you. We were only watching scifi & Maddow sometimes at the end. Every other CNN & MSNBC host was pissing me off regularly..
Right?! Yeah, I really hope you're right. Also, that their fighting over power helps us... One hopes the cult breaks up after or is at least in disarray long enough for us to save our democracy..
Gobble-gobble was my little guy, I'm gona miss him more than I can say. A political cat, he loved President Obama & would run into the room whenever he heard his voice. He wasn't alive when Obama won his first term, but, he was up in front of the tv watching his victory speech in 2012.. 🥺🥺😭😭
the only thing predictable was this after conversation when everyone but Black voters will spend the next 3.25 yrs blaming ”messaging” instead of holding up mirrors to faces. Dems- especially Jaime and the nominees- screamed To not do this…and PREDICTABLY- this country did. So 🛑
I don’t watch any news except the local news. I quit cable news altogether and my mental is so much better for it. I have been side eyeing MSNBC since the Obama administration.
Thread🧵 Nah! Let me give you an example. How many years did the media harp on Biden’s age and health, even though he released detailed medical reports that outlined issues he did have and ruled out Parkinson’s, but you still had Alex Thompson doing this 👇 and others speculating about Parkinson’s?1/
I had these stickers printed because I knew it was going to be bad. I never imagined it would get this bad this fast. Remember when Ramen was cheap? 🗣️Keep calling this administration out & talking about the expensive grocery prices! In my shop comingandgoingdesign.etsy.com/listing/1897...
Maddow and Hayes are crappy too and have contributed to the problem. Dont let the big words and glasses fool you:
Folks claiming Schumer hasn't been doing anything aren't paying attention.
Portland 🤣🤣🤭🤭🤣🤣
Why I stand on business with this dude. Peep who is still out here speaking truth with his whole chest and then note who is blocking folks pointing out things… Great 🔥🧵as always.
Thank you
🤣😂
🤣😂
Thank you
Vance may very well be Worse...🫤 I made bunch of jokes & yeah, I'll celebrate, but, seriously? Vance is fucking evil.. He's also got more energy & drive to fuck shit up.

If my ratings were as low as Ali Velshi's, I wouldn't be running around criticizing other people, I'd be working on making a show worth watching.
Well, I don't have 5k & that's what it would take to make him better...for now. No guarantee he'd not have another obstruction soon after & then it would be surgery & another 20k. Fuck.. We're gona have to euthanize Goblin.. 🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My cat
This 👇 is something else you obviously weren’t paying attention to. The Biden Administration started negotiating this 👇 ceasefire and hostage release within days of October 7th. Hamas could have released all the hostages then and ended it all. They didn’t and still haven’t. bsky.app/profile/maud...

Well during the timeouts of your 60 yrs of “sports playing” you should’ve done your homework. It’s not a Dem leadership problem, white people have a nasty habit of voting for whiteness at the expense of everyone else. This is a 60 yr history of them doing that.😒
Or is it the fact that I have to go looking for what the House and Senate Dems do? Is it the fact that our Media spends an inordinate amount of time normalizing Trump's bull@#$%? I'm sorry, I think the problem is TRUMP, not Congressional Democrats. I wish those in the media got that.
Yep.
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.

Ok now we’re talking.
Reminder: This three day weekend was brought to you by the sweat, tears, and blood of the labor movement.
Pope Leo XIV met with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. The Rev. James Martin said Leo told him that he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.
POS
During Jim Crow, many states mandated that anyone seeking to register to vote or apply to a state university had to have multiple voters/alumni “vouch” for their character. It was an easy if unsubtle way to maintain all-white (or mostly-white) institutions

TIPS FROM A SENATE STAFFER effective communication with representatives.
Their job is to lead their colleagues in the House and Senate - not to lead you. You didn't elect or appoint them to those roles and have no voice in that decision. Maybe you could spend some time learning about the roles before being loud and wrong even after being corrected.
"I do have to say it" is such a fascinating take when, quite literally, shutting up is free.
I hope everyone is grounded in reality.
Purity politics = regressive politics Pragmatic politics = progressive politics
Millions chose to say "fuck it I'm not voting" because they're idiots who fall easily for propaganda And it's ok to point that out, point out what the repercussions of that is & to make them understand it's on them to get us out of this If not, then it's a great big fck you to them as we burn

Yep.
The unmitigated gall of these people to tell a Black woman, whose ancestral DNA is encoded to "create space for other people's suffering". 92% of us voted in the best interest of ourselves and others, including Gaza. And yet, they have the nerve to say shit like this to us?
You only get one guess who it is.
He’s an antisemitic, misogynistic, racist asshole. He didn’t get to decide what was enough and what wasn’t.
So Ali Velshi is going on a block spree after lying his ass off about everything. He & I got into it last night & I finally got pissed off & that's when he blocked me. Goalpost moving LIAR. Trash, BYE.
Weekends. The 40-hour work week. Sick days. That didn't just happen. Organized labor did that. And today, we celebrate how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go to build an economy – and a country – that works for working people. Senator Schiff #Labor
You guys see where this is going? Right?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again: Cities are not test grounds for the president to enact egregious, unconstitutional, uncalled for military takeovers. The Trump Administration’s stunts and performance have no place in our cities.
Today is a good day to remember not to take what you have RIGHT NOW for granted cause at any moment the whites can snatch it away with indifference in the name of “fairness”. Happy fucking Labor Day, to my beautiful Black family. 🫶🏾🫶🏾
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
And that is the point. It's eugenics and Social Darwinism in action.
Frank the Democratic Party can’t give white (people) priority over all other members of the party. That’s why they keep voting for the GOP. 🤷🏾♂️ Quit being willfully obtuse on the timeline.
It’s obvious they are heading that direction. It’s a precarious path some white folks have to traverse, maintaining the illusion they want equality for everyone.
This tracks. They've created an augmented reality and wrapped themselves in it and are now trying to strong arm society into meeting them in their fascist fantasyland.
This please!
Yes he did. They don't want to talk about that though. www.cfhu.org/news/the-lit...
I got blocked by Ali Velshi (an MSNBC political commentator/reporter) for calling him and the media out. I find it hilarious that those in the media who build their shows on critiquing politicians e can’t take a little criticism themselves.
Carville needs to crawl back in the hole he came out of. Ugh
Centrist democrats are gatekeeping too hard, are often too defensive, and too often into purity politics the same way we criticize leftists for doing the same.
Yes. I stopped watching them Last year. During the election. Don't remember The event, but, they pissed me off so much we canceled our cable entirely.🤣
Same.
