I Feel Called Out!

I finally finished the Walouija board

Why is this heat so hot 😩

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

my favorite genre of alien picture is little grey aliens just naked in the woods like why the fuck are you here. you have a spaceship. why did you come to earth to just stand in the woods and look at us with no clothes

it's time

Does anyone got any tips on how to take care of a gerbil?

One came up to my sister and I while we were checking the mail, it's very friendly, not scared of our dog at all crawled right onto her nose 😂, clean and clearly was someone's pet

It's the winter and we didn't feel comfortable leaving her out there in the cold so we took her with us and sent word out that we have her with our contact info

Now it's just a waiting game to see if someone will claim her or if we're keeping her. Because this wasn't planned at all we're at a bit of a loss

We went out and got her what google said we needed for her, like obviously we got a cage, food, and water. We got her a wheel and a little house thing she can hide in, some treats and toys she can chew on and some hay

Does anyone know of anything else we may need? I want her to be as happy and healthy as possible.

Please be nice, we knew it's not great to get a pet before doing research on them and how to properly take care of them but it was either take her in or let her die 😭
