Cat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :paw:⁠:paw: and 1 other boosted

1. Managed to get Pebbles the (Formerly) Semi-Feral Cat off to the vet to check on a gunky eye. She didn't even scratch me which is a first
2. The eye isn't too serious (good) and can be treated with eyedrops. I was worried it might be something worse as weepy eyes are often first sign of that.
3. I managed to administer Pebbles eye drops all by myself tonight. Again, she didn't scratch me and she seems quite chipper

A calico cat is lying on a bed, resting its head on a duvet. The cat's eyes are slightly open, and its front paws are tucked close to its body. The background features soft bedding with a floral pattern

This Saturday, the 24th, will mark exactly three years since I ran away from home to join the Fediverse!

In the 1095 days betwixt, I have learned a ton from y'all, grown so much as a person, had a bunch of adventures, and changed most of my life

Some of the highlights were:
- ⚧️ discovering I'm nonbinary
- 💞 surviving a suicide attempt
- 🧠 writing a cool paper on autism diagnosis
- 🏃🏼‍♀️ leaving my abusive marriage
- ❤️‍🩹 doing suicide prevention check-ins with folx
- 🔞 becoming an adult content creator
- 😘 dating a few Fedi folx
- ❤️ meeting my two amazing partners
- 🔓 becoming RedTeamTools' brand ambassador
- making the TeslaFire emoji
- 💝 meeting like 100 Fedi folx IRL
- 🐈 saving a cat
- 🩸 paying a street medic's medical bills
- ❤️‍🔥 founding @AltAfterDark
- 🐟 saving a couple big fish from a net
- 🩹 helping multiple people recover from surgeries
- 🤯 being followed by over 7000 of you
- 🫠 getting fan art & music from y'all
- 🤘 learning electric guitar & bass

And *all*¹ of those were only possible because of you. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.

¹ I'm sure this list is missing a ton of things 😅²
² I'm running out of emoji 😋

1. I spent a very enjoyable two hours yesterday coppicing willow and collecting whips for basket weaving, in the company of a lovely group of people. I enjoyed it so much I am going back soon to do it again.
2. Today I am having coffee with a fellow Glaswegian photographer who I haven't met before so that we can talk about zines.
3. I'm cooking fillet steak with chestnut mushrooms and peppercorn sauce for dinner tonight!

Being able to begin to describe the challenges in my life to people who care

People who care

A balance between avoidance and attraction to strike.

Today I received the coolest, most thoughtful gift. Twice.

My day started out when a friend traveled from far far away, and dropped by to bring me a package on behalf of @anyia, whom they had just visited.

It was a beautiful *handmade* puzzle box, with three interesting locks built into it, and a *four-page* letter of appreciation—the amount of effort they put into making me feel special is extraordinary 🥰

---

Then, a couple hours later, a package arrived from my girlfriend. Inside were two lever locks. One from the 1830s, and one from the 1920s that is stamped with "Mastodon" 🥰 The 4-lever lock is now the oldest I'm my collection, and the Mastodon lock is the first 8-lever lock in my collection.

---

And finally, a couple hours after the package arrived from my girlfriend, I got to meet a new friend from Mastodon in person for the first time—which was its own present 🥰

---

So today I got to add five unique new locks, several good memories, and a new friend to my collections.

It was a good frickin' day 💝

The top of a red leather-covered puzzlebox with an envelope taped to it that reads "Dear Alice (readme.txt)".

The front of the handmade red puzzlebox, showing three locks built into it.

On the left is a circular metal plate with a small hole in the center and a red dot below the hole. On the right is another circular metal plate with a small brass cross-shaped opening in the center and a round swivel cover. The middle lock is 3D-printed and looks like an ovaloid with a cutout that looks like the side view of a partially opened laptop with two stubby legs under it...or maybe a vampire's nose with little square nostrils under it. — The front of the handmade red puzzlebox, showing three locks built into it.

A 65mm 4-lever padlock from the 1800s. Despite looking older than dirt, it works *perfectly*.

An 8-lever padlock from the early 1900s. It's stamped with "Eagle Lock Co. Terryville Conn USA" along the shackle and the word "MASTODON" is stamped into the metal in big, curved letters across the body.

#threegoodthings to end the weekend.

1. Chaired the lived experience panel for the annual trans and friends festival in our regional city, and as ever we all learned that community is the key

2. My adult children being each other’s siblings in loyal and loving ways

3. Jacarandas and flame trees, just wild.
