Had to leave grief counselling early for an emergency vet appointment

David Milner@davemilbo.bsky.social · 2w agoHere's my story from Pine Gap. "The fight to end the US military occupation of Australia (and the entire world)" It's a photo-essay this time because I took a tonne of pics, the country being this stunning, to help convey the Arrernte's struggle.
If perceptions of gender and race weren’t a factor we could be honest as a society and admit that along with being some of the greatest rap artists of all time, OutKast are also some of the greatest pop artists of all time
Picked my cat up when I got home from work and her butthole touched my hand cause she was so full of poop, but when we went outside did she poop? No, she screamed and screamed until I sat down to supervise
Outlook recall email function is hilarious, it’s like I can see you have stepped on a rake, may I offer you a much larger rake to make sure no one misses it?

One day, my current treatment will probably be unsafe to continue, and I may need to go on Ocrevus.
