This is the way.

Hey sweet kittens, critters, puppies and other creatures of the Fediverse!

Oh, and also, maybe our kickstarter has just launched 0:-)

I lost a cat today. After 15 years. She had been sick but things still feel sudden. It's tough but our cats love us and want to be with us. They stay for as long as they can. #cats

Extremely delighted to be able to share news of #OpenMelody -- a forthcoming low-key #music festival in Los Angeles in early April founded by my friend Sam Farzin of #MediaJeweler and more besides. He put on many killer shows at UCI in the 00s/10s years, and this lineup is really something special. (The appearance of Supercollider alone? Lemme tell ya!) Find out more! https://openmelody.la

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ they actually inject the tranquilizer via the *side* of the needle, not the tip, there's a rubber or plastic ring plugging it that gets pulled down when the dart stabs into the tissue and the fluid is stored under pressure so it flows as soon as the hole is opened
