If your objection to Starfire’s new treatment is that she’s being objectified, then say that. If your objection is that her writing was fucking terrible, then say that. If your objection is that she seems to be completely divorced from the character she used to be, then say…
“I think it would be nice to be able to wear extravagant hats, and gloves, and all these extravagant clothes and not be on the street and not be mocked for it or questioned why. … If you wear a fantastic hat during the day in the street people say ‘where are you going? why are you dressed like that?’ and it’s maybe the most annoying question in the world. Why do we have to have a reason to dress up or to be glamorous or to have fun? Why do we have to have a reason for it? I hate it when people ask me why. Why not?”

Seeing fleas on Winston makes me sad and grossed out at the same time. Ugh I hate small tiny bugs that hide and creep. UGH.
We have been fighting the Kingdom of Fleas with Lola too. A combined Advantage, spraying the apartment and once a week Capstars (from the vet) have seemed to eradicate the menace.
I remember the pain of trying to rid fleas from Chandler when he was so little. You can’t use the decent medicine because they’re so itty-bitty, and baths/sprays/etc. don’t do much to help (plus, they hate it). I remember I would wet him down with dilluted, flea medicated water in a spray bottle every night and go through every inch of his fur with a special comb until they were gone and he was heavy enough to use proper treatments.
It was much easier when Pazuzu joined the brood - just pop some stuff on the back of his neck. But, dude, did I have flashbacks.
I hope everything with Lola and Winston has settled or will settle soon. <3

Reblogging cockifer:
My kitten, Patches, was attacked a few hours ago and one of his back legs is completely broken and his bottom half if attacked. He may only be a few months old, but he became part of the family yknow?I really don’t know how to explain any of this but if you can just reblog this post so people can notice… I wanna help him but it’s going to cost roughly around $3,500 is what the vet said. We don’t even know what exactly he’ll need but they’re only giving us until monday to come up with the money.
And I know it’s probably a lost cause, I get that, what with the amount and short amount of time but anything can help him and that’s all that matters, I don’t need to keep him, I jsut wanna help him.
So, if you could donate just a $1 to help him, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Under the cut is more images of him so you know what you’re donating towards.
