Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.
This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.
If we can, we are probably going to keep her.
What a difference a day makes! Took this little guy to the vet, got the fleas and dirt washed off him, got some antibiotics for a slight cold, but he is otherwise fine. Kneading and purring up a storm, eating a lot and being heart-crushingly adorable.
We have named this glorious creature Nux.
A little over a month later and Nux is growing into a very long and floppy shoulder cat!
Oh my god!!!!
i’m so happy for this cat i hope nux knows im proud of him
October 8-12 are International Cephalopod Awareness Days!
This adorable deep-sea cephalopod (pictured below) flaps its ear-like fins as it moves through the water–a behavior that’s earned it the name “Dumbo octopus,” after Disney’s flying elephant. In fact, there’s an entire family of “Dumbo octopuses,” with more than a dozen species, observed in oceans worldwide. These are some of the deepest-dwelling octopuses, known to sit on or skim the seafloor at depths of up to 13,000 feet, and to feed on prey like bristleworms by swallowing it whole. “Ear-flapping”–or, more accurately, fin-swimming–is just one of the several ways they can move; and sometimes, they just drift along.
This shit. This makes me furious. Now he’s saying USA “is with Mexico” ?? Oh but not when he said “Mexicans are rapists and thieves” not when he said he was going to force them to pay for the wall, not when he removed DACA that was the only hope for hundreds of Mexicans.
Now, only when a tragedy occurs, the first and ONLY thing he does is put a fucking Tweet saying “we are with you”. This Tweet does nothing, it is a mere reminder that the USA does not fucking care about Latinos. This is the fucking face of hypocrisy and uselessness. Trump is not “with Mexico”, he has never been with any Latino country and he will not be even if every country in Latin America exploded in flames.
Y’all will like and reblog my fucking Pewdiepie post 3000 times but you’ll sleep on this?? im literally disappointed
If anyone had any doubt in their mind that this tangerine coloured horse-humper lies with every word he shits out of his mouth, here’s the man who hates Mexico and the Mexican people so much that he wants to build a modern-day Berlin Wall to surround their country trying to claim that he gives a shit about them
Leaving hate aside, we do need help, Mexico was struck with a series of very hard earthquakes and two hurricanes in the past weeks, Media focuses on the hard stuff and the inmediate as well as the disasters in more developed countries like the US, the help is very needed. If you can, please donate, this are the links where help is most welcome:
Amazon Mexican Red Cross wishlist This one is in Mexican pesos with all the things that are needed. A peso is equivalent to almost .05 Dollars or Euros. And you can acceswith your Amazon account and make the conversion before payment. There are also things you can buy to help with less than a three dollars, maybe even less than one.
There is people trapped in buildings and the death toll keeps rising, we have been hit hard before and have a group of very capable rescuers, the Topos (moles) of Tlatelolco that have helped when disaster has struck in other parts of the world, you can donate to them in here, donations even if small is a lot of help.
And if you can’t donate, please share this with the links.
This is a bit of what the destruction in Mexico City and the other states looks like.
Thank you so much for providing useful links and information! Everybody please spread this like wildfire, spread the awareness, spread the help. Even if you can’t donate just help to let this informarion be known so other people will donate too!
Hey to everyone who doesn’t speak spanish and is worried that these links might be fake or a scam, I just went into every one of them to double check and they’re all from official organizations that will make sure every penny you donate is given to the people who need it in Mexico. So please don’t be afraid of donating!
