Tooth yeeted. Thank goodness. A little worried about what the pain will be like and hoping it heals without complications but fingers crossed this gets it sorted.

Vet appointment made for Melbcat tomorrow

Melbcat won’t eat her 4cyte in food and it’s an oil so is dangerous to syringe into her mouth while she fights it.

And I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure of some random plant oil and thought something else would work better. Only bought the 4cyte on vet recommendation. I might try and get that money back guarantee and buy something different.

Edit: Ah shit. I’m within the 30 days but didn’t buy it from the vet, got it from Petcircle, so not eligible for money back. If you buy this get it from the vet and keep the receipt.

She’s also possibly got a uti again so vet asap

It’s a shame I can’t see much and it’s not safe to walk around at night. I can only see the saucepan constellation and Betelgeuse (?)

Idk maybe swanky spa-style bath products

Or a new robe

Synthetic musk was invented in 1888 and while initially toxic probably got refined. Musk sticks were apparently around as early as the 1900s.

I’m trying to find a good source on whether musk deer ever got introduced to Australia but am getting the run around and the answer may be no

Or low power mode. You know like battery saver mode

I’d recommend an iron infusion but… looks awkwardly at the last however many weeks

Melbcat didn’t eat her (medicated) breakfast this morning and so was feeling bad by the afternoon. I gave her a half dose to tide her over but she’s still not feeling great :(

I think next time she gets ten or twenty minutes to eat the breakfast then if not it goes in the bin and she’s medicated by oral syringe. If that happens twice we go back to brekkie and meds being separate.

Thank you Chef, you saved my life

Need to make a drink but I’m under a sleeping cat. Halp

I hope it all goes smoothly. I forgot which one you ended up getting… Are you liking the look of the new place?

Disappointed to see no parkour.

Fine, weightlifting or running

It sucks arse. I have so little structural power and ability to advocate for myself - it’s a struggle to survive. I have no idea how to help anyone else.

I remember how I and other vulnerable people were treated in 2013

I’m trying. I already have been. It doesn’t seem to help much.

Edit: There’s also the additional bonus of it marking you out as an easy target. I also belong to multiple marginalised groups

It’s great to have got the libs out.

But I still feel uneasy. In addition to Cheeto Chaplin’s attacks the UK recently ruled that trans women legally aren’t women and are banned from women’s bathrooms, and so of course in Australia there have been recent protests against trans people and against anti-hate speech laws protecting LGBTIA+.

The arsetrumpet catchphrase about not needing to be welcomed to your “own country” (it’s not white peoples country) led to it being shouted and booed at an Indigenous elder speaking at an Anzac service.

There’s also been a lot of anti-immigration sentiments being fomented and backlash against harm reduction like injecting rooms. Even with the election over that has to have stirred a certain element up.

Regardless of laws Australia picks up culture wars like a sponge.

Also on a personal level there are groups that I can’t form community and solidarity with past an ideological level due to the credible risk of harm to me. 😐 I both support harm minimisation but can’t do irl outreach like volunteering with people who have been intimidating me, stealing from me and trying to break into my house.

I could lobby for methadone to be subsidised to try and reduce the desperation and crime in my area but I don’t have the resources for activism, particularly the organised kind. I’m barely keeping myself and puss alive.

And the left loves eating itself. I’m hesitant to get involved with any of the groups even if I was well enough. Purity spirals I’ve experienced in the past actually led to me distancing myself for a long time and it seems to be kicking up again.

Also marginalised groups I’m trying to be an ally to online (according to actions they’ve said they want) are locked in a defensive stance, reacting with suspicion and shade.

No idea what I could even do that wouldn’t be derided as performative and tokenistic

They lost? Thank fuck

I just didn’t have time to research properly, and wasn’t familiar with a couple of independent candidates.

I did a quick google and put them just ahead of Pauline Hanson but am wondering if there were any things I missed. Whether my choices aligned with what I wanted.

That looks delicious
