Good evening, CoSo. I hope all of you are doing well this evening. π
A local TV news reporter, Lisa Weismann of ABC News 4 (WCIV), came out this morning and did a lovely report on my efforts to get Bugs, the Wonder Cat, to a vet to close that big hole in his belly. Thanks to her report, which aired on the 6 p.m. broadcast, the "Save Bugs" fund is now up to $1,481, about halfway to the goal. Bugs needs surgery, boarding & meds. Won't you help me help him? π

@JeniRizio Thanks :D I try.
Ooh, I bet that turned out nicely!
If I were you, I might even think about leaning into the retro cheesiness a bit - a lot of authentic '70s and '80s stuff was pretty cheesy, and to a lot of people that's actually part of the allure; the cheese is often an integral part of what makes it catchy/fun.
You're very welcome! I'm just glad I could help. Aww, that's so kind of you π

Hi, CoSo. For those who haven't heard, this π is Bugs, the Wonder Cat. In February, he got his belly torn open in a fight, most likely with his brother Simba. The hole closed, but got torn open again over a month ago.
I tried to get him to a vet, but the only one I can easily get to wouldn't touch him. Now he needs surgery to close the wound; simple stitches won't do it anymore. To this end, I've started a #GoFundMe. Any help is much appreciated. π

I like it! Especially the transition from like a downtempo industrial to atmospheric.
@JeniRizio I listened. Great work!
Let me grab my π§!

Today I yeeted that "friend" who stopped taking my calls, stopped messaging me, but continued to re-post whatever came up in her doomscroll. My now ex-friend even "liked" one of my FB posts but could not be bothered to ask me if I was OK after I called her and left a message saying I needed someone to talk to. She reaped what she sowed. I won't miss her. Too bad, so sad for her. Next!
I swear search engines (Google, DuckDuckGo, etc) have become pretty much useless as of late... seems like niche forums of all kinds - and really most sites with substantial user-generated content - have been deindexed from all the major search engines, leaving just a pile of:
- Corporate sites, usually trying to sell you something
- Keyword-stuffed AI-generated crap
- Keyword-stuffed clickfarm-generated crap
- Sketchy sites that are probably loaded with malware
- Semi-related Reddit posts
I asked her to find me a nee therapist and said I don't think it's working out. Told her it's not personal. I was very professional and polite and realised why I have not slept well the past six months. I just needed someone to talk to that fucking listened and showed they cared. Yeet! I fired her and put a call into my case worker to see if he can call there or elsewhere to find me someone who won't create a quality of care issue like this one I just said goodbye to.
