Hi, my name is Em!
I'm a nature lover, shelter medicine feller, and hobbyist photographer based in Chicago.
I post about cats, birds, animal welfare, forest floors, horror novels, queer stuff, and things I think are funny. Happy to be on earth with you.

Started typing up a whole dang thread about the inside baseball of the rising costs of vet care and the impact that has on pet owners, but I think I'll just settle for asking people to stop putting their anger on clinic staff that truly wish they could help but have limitations of their own

favorite part of my morning is when my two little kitties repeatedly trade off who gets to sit on my lap and get their scritches and smooch meters refilled after the long night. and then they usually immediately get in a judo match because one of them has a toy the other wants or something
