SIGNAL BOOST: PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY SWEET LITTLE KITTY

Please Donate and reblog! Anything is appreciated.

 Two days ago I came home to find my cat Fish in serious distress. She was having trouble walking and she wouldn’t lift her head. I immediately took her to an emergency clinic, and after 3 hours there, I was told to transfer her to an intensive care unit. I have been told that it appears that she was born with deformed kidneys and has been living with them for 9 years. She has developed kidney disease because of it. She also has a mass in her left kidney that requires further testing to determine exactly what it is. She’s severely dehydrated and has been on fluids and pain killers. 

 She’s a very tiny cat and has developed a heart murmur, they need to medicate and rehydrate her slowly, so they don’t flood her kidneys and make her condition worse. She has been in the ICU for the last 24 hours, and so far her treatment and care has cost me around $3200 The next 48 hours are going to be around another $3000. 

In the next few weeks Fish will need ongoing tests, medication and medical care. I don’t know how much the next few weeks will cost me, and I can probably handle long term care costs like special food and medicine but this was so sudden and unexpected. 

 I am only 22 years old and any savings I had will be gone. I need the funds as soon as possible, I’ve already had to pay 85% of the immediate costs as a deposit. Fish has been a part of my family for 9 years, since she was 4 weeks old, I raised her myself and I love her more than anything in the world. It’s so hard for me to put into words how important she is to me. And how much I love her. The relationship we have is very special. She has gotten me through middle school, high school and university. She is essentially a therapy cat for me.

 I have had anxiety and depression since I was a child, but having her with me has helped me more than anything else. I am so devastated and I can’t imagine losing her this suddenly (let alone at all). Everyone that has met her knows how sweet and loving she is, and they know what we mean to each other. 

 It is very possible that she can live another 5-10 years with this kidney disease, but for her to be able to live the long life she deserves, she needs this care right now. I am so grateful for anything you are able to donate. I don’t know how else I can pay for the treatment she needs immediately and in the near future and so I am reaching out to anyone who is willing to help. Every little bit will help and I would be so appreciative. thank you so much

Fairy Tale Cat Houses by Yuliya Kosata

oh my gosh I want a little felt teepee to make a den in

I want to make these!!!!

This NYT editorial by Angelina is filled with facts about refugees. True things. Not, er, “alternative facts”. If you read it, you will find yourself armed and safe in any conversation you may find yourself in with anyone who thinks that by making sure that the most vulnerable of all humans are prevented from coming to the US, that the world is somehow made safer.

It won’t take you long to read. And it will make a difference.

PSA to those marching

Straight people and women: stop fucking spreading “shocking” manips of Trump + Putin kissing. The image of gay male sexuality isn’t a gross joke for you to weaponize.

Don’t share it on Facebook, don’t put it on your half assed signs.

We live in a world where two men kissing was a contributing factor in 49 peaceful people being massacred in a gay club.

You are not helping. Gay people kissing isn’t yours to scare people with, and it’s not your shock value.

reblogging again cause the lack of notes is bullshit

There is SO MUCH MATERIAL with Trump that it is perfectly possible to lambast him, satirize him, mock him and utterly destroy him WITHOUT resorting to homophobic, transphobic, ableist, misogynist bullshit. You can even have at Melania without getting into her past employment, her looks, or her basic womanhood. There’s plenty of bullshit to call out without getting into that, but also, she’s really not the target? She’s if anything, a distraction? You can leave their minor child the fuck alone and STILL call Trump out for being the piece of shit he is.  Keep your eye on the important issues, and the main target. Ceding the moral high ground is just not necessary, he does so many terrible and mockable things, you just don’t need to. 

This, all of it.

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

Now. More. Than. Ever.

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

Reblogging for signal boost.

Reblog if you would rather live next to a Syrian refugee than a person who opposes the entry of Syrian refugees into the country.

Any. Fucking. Day. Of. The. Week.

There are two types of men in this world

I hit reblog so fast.

@dollyp shared a story on twitter about refugees after the news of trump’s new ban (which has, thankfully, for the moment been stayed by a federal judge)
