About Me

In short...

I have a Russian dwarf hamster named George, two blue death-feigning beetles named after the Three Fates (Clotho and Lachesis), and two isopod colonies.

I previously ran a blog called claricespieces, later renamed to mesocricetus-auratus, that followed my ownership of multiple hamsters. I would love to get a hamster again in the future, but my care standards have increased and I don't presently have space to make the cage I'd want.

I also helped orchestrate the legal takedown of Wallrova, if anyone remembers that...what an awful company and thank goodness it no longer exists!

Blocklist under the cut.

I will block without warning if:

-You post transphobic garbage or support transphobes (this includes any of J.K Rowling’s works, Elon Musk/Tesla, etc)

-You continue to mistreat or neglect your pets after being offered advice that is within your means

-You identify as a zoophile and are pro-contact/okay with that; if you’re in therapy or otherwise trying to get help and have no desire to hurt animals, I support you in your healing journey and wish you the best of luck

-You refer to my rodents/any rodents as “snake food” or otherwise make fun of rodent owners for having “throwaway pets”

Today I had to say goodbye to George. He had an inoperable tumor that was compromising his quality of life, and I made the decision to end things before they got worse.

He will always live on in my heart. He was really the best little guy in the world. ❤️

I know I always post Nem with his blacklight so yall can see him, but he’s a handsome guy without it, too! He blends in well with his surroundings.

I used to see this image all the time in December but now literally nobody cares. We as a society have forgotten him. All he wanted was to offer us a nice treat and what did we do? We abandoned him. Hell has taken refuge in our hearts and its fires have burned to ash all warmth and love. We should be ashamed.

Tasty mealworm for Nem last night!

Ok quick question what’s the last book you read that couldn’t put down? Like not even what was your last fave book but what’s the last book you absolutely had to stay up finishing even though it meant you were dead tired the next day? In the replies or tags, whichever, I just haven’t hit on that feeling in like a year and want to know everyone’s

You just have to get up and get shit done. It’s as simple & as difficult as that

[wuntrum]

"do it scared" is valuable advice but it'd also be SIIIICK and AWESOME if it stopped being scary at some point. any point

huge news for trans women - estrogen does not lead to an increased cardiovascular risk!

Transgender persons receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy: risk of acute cardiovascular events in a Dutch cohort study

AbstractBackground and Aims. Despite favourable effects of oestradiol on cardiovascular risk factors, previous studies found higher risks of

This retrospective cohort study included transgender women and transgender men using gender-affirming hormone therapy between 1972 and 2018 at the Amsterdam gender clinic. Medical diagnoses were registered from 2012 to 2022 by a national data registry. Standardized incidence ratios for myocardial infarction, ischaemic cerebrovascular accident, and venous thromboembolism were computed using general population incidence rates adjusted for socioeconomic status, estimated by education, employment, and income. Lifestyle (body mass index, smoking, and alcohol consumption) was analysed by age group.

Gender-affirming hormone therapy is not associated with increased cardiovascular risk in transgender women but is in transgender men. This aligns with known effects of oestradiol and testosterone on cardiovascular risk factors.

Cool, so all that fearmongering about cardiovascular risk that Oslo University Hospital did towards me based on studies from the 90s using horse estrogen was, in fact, horseshit.
