anyways reminder that scars of any kind are morally neutral and not bad or harmful to show. if that shit is healed and not a literal open wound it is not fucking bad. it is not okay to shame or trigger warning a normal fucking part of someone’s body, including and especially when it’s a sign of physical or mental illness.

look every single time I make posts like this someone comes on my post like “not self harm scars though! those are triggering!” and fucking. think about what you’re implying for just one second here. you’re saying that if anyone has ever even once hit a mental point where they harmed themself in a way that left a lasting mark they can never show their body uncensored again. this is okay to you? you think this is fucking okay?

also, to expand on this: do not assume you know what are and aren't self harm scars. i have 'traditional self harm scar' looking scars that are not self harm, just that i have a cat and scar easily. i have scars that do not look like self harm scars that very much are. you do not have the right to go up to someone and ask "hey, what are you scars from so i can decide if i can censor your body?", nor the right to assume the origin of someone's scars in order to censor their body. In general, no one's scars or any other part of their body is your business

Hey friends,

We're trying to get this fluffy nerd to the vet because we found dark particulares in her urine today after several months of what we thought/hoped were behavioral/new cat housemate stress related litter box issues.

Look at her. She just wants to be shoved into a bag and taken to the vet.

We have a GoFundMe linked below. Were hoping to raise at least $500 to cover vetting. (~2,200 total, the other monies have already gone to pay mortgage).

We also have a no jobs between us, despite carpeting Chicago with resumes. If anyone is able to nepo baby me (medical copywriter/editor) or @taraljc (graphic artist/art director) into a job that would also be amazing.

Tldr,

If not for us, then for the cat? And if you can't donate, would you be able to reblog a couple of times, especially if you've enjoyed our content in the past?

Love,

Your friendly neighborhoods fanpair, @lemonsharks (queer disabled/mentally ill/trauma'd & blood kin-estranged) and @taraljc (disabled/mentally ill & trauma'd)
