Why I didn’t RP tonight:

If some internet person changes and doesn’t do the problematic shit so well that I can’t tell they are the same person, then congrats, I’ll never know.

May I share my foster kittens with y’all here? Even if I can never find here because it doesn’t show up on Google Results. (I have it bookmarked finally.)

My foster fail Calypso is a HUGE cuddle bug. She loves to cuddle up with other cats.

My senior baby Kiva is not a cuddler, but she doesn’t mind Calypso much, and basically raised her.

So they’ve come to a compromise. Calypso is allowed to lay NEAR Kiva and Kiva will not complain. Calypso tests this sometimes to see how much cuddling she can get away with. Today it was being curled into Kiva’s tail with one Calypso aw on Kiva’s butt. It makes my heart melt.

He sees more ghosts.

Yeah - Until the very end they had me CONVINCED I was the bad person in the interactions. I fell over myself apologizing for hurting them and making them uncomfortable. It wasn’t until I found myself sobbing with my laptop on my lap at the top of a staircase that I finally realized - this wasn’t okay. It WASN’T ooc personal my female alt didn’t like their PC. It WASN’T my fault I didn’t want to RP some things. All of those were perfectly good boundaries and I was being emotionally manipulated by someone who knew exactly what to say and when to say it.

Now, do I think the person behind the screen is some kind of cartoon villain twirling their mustache, petting a white cat, and itching to press the destroy button? Nah. I think they found a way of behaving that typically results in them getting attention (often it doesn’t matter if it is positive or negative) and so they repeat the behavior because it fills a need.

If they are reading this, I hope they know that it is possible to get attention for doing the right things. This doesn’t have to be your entire internet legacy.

Tiny asshole kitten Benjamin Sisko was wrapped around my leg chewing and clawing.

I got tired of it, and now only 60 seconds later, he is asleep with his head supported by my palm.

My revenge will be letting one of the insane other six pounce him once they realize he zzzzed out.

Just the bestest of mamas.

OMG THIS IS A DOG PARK, AUNT YOU BROUGHT ME TO A DOG PARK.

It is ABSOLUTELY OKAY to realize a mistake, apologize, but then

NOT FUCKING DO THAT THING AGAIN.

Ghost particularly has shown HE HAS NOT CHANGED. Reading his posts is making me flash back to arguments about CRT and making sure we teach “both sides” of historic events. Guess what!! There isn’t always two sides. If one was pure evil, I am not going to teach that as a reasonable path to follow. I’m going to tell kids (in religion removed language) “This is the paved path to hell, watch out for people doing this because all THIS OTHER SHIT will happen as a result.”

How do we heal the community? Maybe we start by not trying to apologize for the well established bad actors.

Also… weird how the only person to mention BMD is Derp. I would say a majority of us here are now NOT THERE and if we had some organized conspiracy we would just all go make fake accounts to fuck up MSB. We wouldn’t sit in our little thread here and complain.

I just need Mama to have the most beautiful name possible, because she us beautiful.

I can’t get over how friendly this mama is. She is often waiting at the door for us and twines around our legs.

@dvoraen

Right now there are 2 confirmed males sooooooo at least that would be easy!

@mietze

Husband says Spices MAYBE for our newest liter. If the Nuggets win the NBA finals though, they will be named things like “Mr. Jokic” and such.

I am not a huge fan of food names because they have ALL been done before. I reeeallly wanted Lord of the Rings but he said no.

Any more ideas out there?

Like I theoretically knew it was possible? Cuz like, laughing till milk comes out your nose is a thing. But… solids?!

If you sneeze while eating the food in your mouth can go up your nose. You can also not realize it till you start blowing your nose and food comes out of said nose.

@Alamias

Ah.

I’m sorry you are feeling bad. I hope you are able to get to a better place.

@Wyrmsign Sorry a bunch of us jumped to a conclusion.

I’m confused now. Anyone else confused now?

I’m am sorry people are feeling bad.

@Wyrmsign

I think that depends on what you said? If it was along the lines of, “Hey, I am going to move on to other things and would like to handwave breaking off whatever IC connection we had,” then yeah, totally fine.

If it involved things along the lines of, “I don’t have fun any more because of your absence,” then not so fine.

@Wyrmsign

Do you want to tell your side of the conversation?
