This is Mufasa, my 7 year old cat. He was recently diagnosed with cancer.

We thought he'd cleared it, but instead it became systemic.

I am disabled and unable to work, although I'm in college to earn a degree that will allow me to work while managing my disability. Unfortunately for now, that means that I'm drowning in debt from getting Mufasa treated. And I will be crushed under this new debt unless I'm able to clear some of the current debt.

An eventual total goal of $4,200 will clear half of the debt from Mufasa's cancer treatment, allowing me to better provide further care.

Thank you for reading, and please help me keep my baby healthy.

Updated the post. He has officially been rediagnosed with cancer, as it became systemic instead of staying localized. His second vet visit was cancelled, as it was no longer needed due to the other vet consulting and the two agreeing it looked like lymphoma. I'm crushed and I'm scared. Please help me.

One thing about me: I have 0 coding experience or modding experience. Have never even once downloaded a minecraft mod.

Another thing about me: I will still plan out a mod and create textures for it. For fun. So I might as well share.

A third thing about me: I really really like tea.

[kelssiel]

A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.

I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

One of the coolest concepts I never ever would've thought of, and now can't stop thinking about 🐉🦠

NOT hiding this

[the-zenith-calls]

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

[taavicleric]

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

Pippin meanwhile is two hours and 17 tangentially related pages deep into a Wikipedia dive, for the third time this week.

Frodo is editing Wikipedia. He’s the one who teaches Pippin about the joy—and strict requirement—of citing original and/or reliable sources.

iNaturalist user SamGardener is an MVP of identifying flowers, grasses, and herbs, and adding little notes suggesting how to use them in cooking. His accuracy record for Shire-local plants is matched only by Strider2931, whose record is perfect in nearly every category and biome and the popular is that he’s an AI.

headcanon that a ferengi tradition is putting your new baby up for sale at a ridiculous price to show how valuable they are to you (everyone has to be polite and not actually buy them or hands will be thrown, people will be sued, etc etc)

[libraflyter]

I love the idea of Ferengi traditions that are both ha-ha capitalism but also create a functioning culture that’s more than a metaphor.

[thecottageinthedark]

[datasoong47]

So, this is related to a headcanon I have. There's a kind of ritual sale of childhood goods as part of the Ferengi coming-of-age, which was featured in an episode of DS9. The ostensible purpose is to raise capital for the young Ferengi male. But, like, if the Ferengi were approaching this in their usual capitalistic mindset, you wouldn't really get much from what's basically a glorified garage sale

My headcanon is that it is the accepted practice to buy those goods at much higher prices than you would normally pay, serving as a culturally acceptable way of effectively giving financial support

[shiroikabocha]

Oh I love these, especially because of the spoken and unspoken meta-traditions around the tradition! Maybe they work similarly to the “speak now or forever hold your peace” thing in human marriage ceremonies. Everyone at a human wedding understands you’re not actually supposed to say anything at that point, it’s just a formality—but you see characters do it all the time in literature and entertainment, because it makes for such a juicy plot twist.

I bet “newborn gets purchased by evil jealous ex-business partner” is a classic plot hook in Ferengi soap operas. It’s their version of getting sold to One Direction.

Just sitting around the house thinking about making a Mr. Darcy meme where the punchline is somehow “roses are red, violets are blue, IN VAIN HAVE I STRUGGLED. IT WILL NOT DO”

i’m enamored by the specificity of this blog. like this is the only post they’ve ever made. this account was solely created for this special little guy. does he know?

[ashipwreckcoast]

when you bring a pill bug to a meeting at a science museum, everyone LOVES it & they're all like "this is our new colleague GEORGE, we need to sign him up for orientation" but if you go into the conference room at a history museum with george, everyone is very rude & they do not value his insight. they say things like "put him back outside" and "no, not back into your shirt pocket."

[this-is-trans-joy]

u could never catch me falling for “this kind of trans person is actually the problem” propaganda. what the fuck are you talking about. trans people with conflicting labels?? neopronoun users?? trans people who don’t want to medically transition?? otherkin trans people?? sounds to me like i just get to meet more cool as fuck trans people why would that ever be a problem like omg!! there are so many of us!! why would i ever want LESS just because ur boring as shit and have the personality of an instagram reels commenter and think using it/its pronouns for someone is going to kill u like oh my godddd grow up!!! start loving trans people NOW!!! I AM NO LONGER ASKING!!!

[unconventionalbrain]

People are people. Calling someone the problem because they don’t fit neat little labels to make sense to the general population is a phenomenon known as “throwing someone under the bus.”

[subcultureblues]

love when ppl ask to see pics of my axolotl and are expecting something cute + pink + all smiles and instead with genuine fear in their eyes, and in their heart, say WHAT the fuck is that.

[skodasforge]

“It’s photoshopped” honestly in the age of AI that has a homey sort of nostalgia to it. Remember when people used to put effort into faking things?

I think the thing I say most often to the kittens is “Did you know causing trouble is optional?”

They disagree.
