  • I hate to be a bummer, so if that’s not something you want to read about, skip over this one.

    My week has been rough.

    My sweet budgie is starting to show her age. On Sunday, I ended up taking her to the emergency avian vet almost 2 hours away because she was straining to poop and not eating very much. After a rough 5 hour wait, the vet told me that she had high levels of bacteria in her crop and blood in her stool. Luckily, the bacteria can be handled with antibiotics and the blood in her stool is likely from ulcerations caused by straining, which can heal given time and two other meds. The downside is that, until the 19th, she has to be fed her drugs 5 separate times a day. This involves grabbing her with a towel, and using a syringe to spray the drugs in her mouth as she tries to bite it. Obviously, this greatly stresses her and she really hates it. After the 19th, this luckily will get reduced to 2x a day until we see the vet again.

    I just hope I’m doing the right thing. She’s such a good bird and deserves to feel comfortable in her senior years. I’m super attached to her, more than I realized. It’s going to be hard when her time comes.

    “what about…”

    I don’t doubt that the Dems had a poor campaign. However, I’m totally allowed to blame the dumbasses that voted for fascism. These dumbasses are ultimately the ones that filled the box for our authoritarian future. I’ll say it again: fuck them.



  • Biden shouldn’t have seeked a second term in the first place. If I recall correctly, in his 2020 campaign he claimed he would step aside after his term, and now that he didn’t hold to it, we’re screwed. The Dems never had a full campaign, and Biden (unintentionally) sabotaged any chance they had to win. This is definitely how he’ll be remembered.

    I’m trans and I’m terrified, terrified for my queer friends and family, terrified for Ukraine and Palestine, and terrified for the planet.

    If you didn’t vote or voted for this piece of shit, fuck you. If you voted for him, you deserve the massive inflation and shit he’s about to put you through.



  • AP decision desk update for Arizona:

    Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, has reported its first votes. The massive county is key for candidates. Its first update included more than a million votes, about half of the expected total there. The first reported votes were ballots that arrived or were cast ahead of Election Day. County election officials have warned it could take as long as 13 days to tabulate all ballots.
