I am so exhausted from trying to exist as a queer AFAB person in a country that is desperately trying to institute reproductive slavery. I haven't been able to sleep without the TV on since Dobbs. I can't listen to the news without being reminded that I am not a person to a chunk of this country that is trying desperately to secure power, with only a bunch of feckless centrists in power on my side. What I want has never mattered.

I am exhausted from my kitten rescue adventure today -- drove about 6 hours round trip to pick up some babies (and one mama) from a shelter that didn't have space, and about half of that was in harrowing weather -- but look at this little face. LOOK AT IT. #FosterKittens #CatsOfMastododon #CatRescue

#RPAdmin: Just a reminder, pizza folks, please use Content Warnings on political/news posts about upsetting current events. This lets people affected by them take a break from constantly having to hear about how terrible everything is if they need one.

When all you have is a nice new soldering iron, every problem looks like something that could perhaps be fixed with a tiny bit of conductive metal.

Time for my updated donation wish list for July! We have so, so many cats and kittens this year 😭, though adoptions have been strong. 🤞 I'm all stocked up on kitten blankets and nutritional supplements, right now I just need FOOD! (And litter.) We go through so much food and litter y'all... #FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon #MutualAid

Edit: New post for August! https://retro.pizza/@trixter/110800527350804911

I regret to inform you all that I have been mauled by a wild beast and it may take me some time to recover. #FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon #KittenSeason

I have been having a profoundly bad week and I think the only thing that can counteract it is one of those moments like at the end of the first Digimon movie where everyone's internet friends send good vibes as a power-up so if people could spare some power-up energy for me that would be rad.

So wow, Happy #Caturday to me!

The rescue I foster for did a big adoption event today at the local PetSmart, and we had a few people who had gotten their applications approved early and just needed to meet the kittens and decide which one to take home... and all three of my remaining L-litter babies were adopted! I'm ALL OUT OF BABIES!* 😭 #CatsOfMastodon #FosterKittens

*already have another litter lined up later this week

The legalization of gay marriage seems to have led to this expectation that queer people are also required to want a spouse and 2.5 children and a house in the suburbs and it's a little exhausting, can we just stop demanding everyone be sequestered into nuclear families? It's a fine way to live if it works for you but demanding it for everyone only serves capitalism and fascism.

Back to poking at Yggdra Union on the Pocket and this game has so much going on, just a dizzying array of numbers and fonts and a hundred different game mechanics, I have no idea what I'm doing but I am trying my best.
#YggdraUnion #AnaloguePocket #RetroGaming #GBA

A battle screen with two opposing forces on either side, with an empty bar at the top, a box that says Sanctuary in the top left, and a huge-eyed girl labeled as Yggdra shouting "Taste my blade!" across the bottom. Also a bunch of other symbols.
Another battle screen, with a full bar at the time and Refreshment in the top left box.
A "You Win!" screen with a list of bonuses for this victory and a lot of art.

I've been playing Tactics Ogre Reborn on the Switch Lite because of reasons and now that I'm retiring (and hopefully selling! 😬 ) the Lite and consolidating onto the OLED one, I would like to know if perhaps they considered NOT having every single action that every single unit performs have a rumble effect? My hands are gonna go numb. #TacticsOgre #RetroGaming #NintendoSwitch #SquareEnix

Going through the screenshots on my Pocket. This game is so fucking extra y'all. TOTK has pulled me away from it but I WILL be back. #YggdraUnion #AnaloguePocket #RetroGaming #JRPG #GBA #GameBoy #GraphicDesignIsMyPassion

A screenshot from the GBA version of Yggdra Union of a tutorial explaining the gender-based combat mechanic. The text explains that "Units located across from a female leader will join the battle!" There's also a super anime-looking knight and a lot of other less-significant text on the screen because it's Yggdra Union and that's how this game rolls.

I have never seen anything as universally popular as the rainbow bed. I especially like when everyone else gets up for playtime and there's just one baby who's committed to the Rainbow Bed Life. #FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon

Three 5-week-old brown tabby kittens snuggled up in their fluffy rainbow bed. Two of them are kind of spooning.

I've given the local yokels on Facebook Marketplace a chance but I'm over it. Anybody want a Pokemon SwSh Switch Lite with Skull & Co grips and case for $150 and shipping? It's in good shape, I just got an OLED one. Can't promise the case will be free of cat allergens. #Pokemon #NintendoSwitch #BST #ForSale #RetroGaming
