Haven't posted here in a while but my disabled cat desperately needs new leg braces so sharing our story!

I adopted Athena in June 2024 after seeing her listing online. She had deformed front legs and couldn't walk. I told myself I was just going to visit her that day at the shelter, but I think I knew deep down I wasn't leaving without her. As a paraplegic wheelchair user, we bonded instantly. We searched for ages until we found a veterinary orthopedic specialist and a rehab specialist who were just crazy enough to say 'hey, what if we put braces on a cat?'. It was nothing short of a miracle that the very first time Athena tried her braces, she took her first steps.

Fast forward a year and some months and Athena has grown out of her kitten sized braces. She is back to sliding around on the floor again, which is causing pain and spinal damage. She needs the new braces ASAP but I just don't have the funds to start the process. To do new imaging and cast moldings of her legs will be over $800, with the new leg braces likely costing $800-$1300 (definitely not less than $800). She is also on a medication that costs $50 a month, plus will need physical therapy and repeated follow ups.

I love athena so so much and I want to help her in any way I can, which means asking for help. Please share and donate if you're able. It means the world to us.

The moment I held Athena on June 23rd 2024, I knew she had to be mine. This lit… Madison Russell needs your support for Help Kitten Born wit

a lot of rpf can be explained by the fact that actors are all like that with each other constantly but i never want to say that on here because it feels like telling a 7-year-old santa isn’t real

actors hanging off of each other constantly isn’t a sign that they’re fucking it’s a sign that they were once in a BFA program and never relearned normal boundaries. when actors are fucking and it’s complicated they won’t even stand in the same room with each other.

Years ago back when I worked in cubicle land, we were hiring junior software developers. They didn’t have to have a ton of experience, just a willingness to learn, and some demonstration of their software skills. Like: show me a program you wrote (any language) or a web site you designed. Anything.

And there was this one guy I talked with who seemed super sharp, but had virtually zero experience writing software. When it came time to do the show-n-tell part of the interview he whips out his laptop, brings up a website, and spins it around to show me what he made.

A website of tiny ceramic frogs.

Not for sale. Just… all these ceramic frogs, organized into categories. Frogs on bicycles, frogs with hats, frogs sitting on lily pads. It was a virtual museum of ceramic frogs in web form.

I scrolled through his online collection of frogs, slightly baffled.

“This is your website?” I asked finally.

“Yep!”

“You coded this yourself?” I popped into view-source mode and poked around some incredibly well-formatted, well-commented html. I nodded slowly. This guy was meticulous.

“Yep!”

“So… where’d all the frogs come from?”

“I made those too,” he says, beaming.

And while I’m processing this he rummages in his bag and pulls out a little ceramic frog working at a computer terminal. He places it on the table before us, next to the laptop.

“And THIS one,” he says, “I made for you! As a thank you for the interview.”

It was adorable. I hired him on the spot. I mean, why not? Worst case he’d wash out in 90 days and we’d hire somebody else. He turned out to be one of the best developers on our team.

And yes, his cubicle was loaded with ceramic frogs.

As a research scientist who studies making very precise modifications/damage to glass with lasers, I cannot describe the level of sheer fucking skill and practice which must go into this.
