k-pagination:

Squish – who was in her senior years – was an avid fan of sleeping on Sara’s limbs, and also of taking showers in the bathtub. She also had an unmistakable facial expression at all times..

Sadly my dear friend Sara Liss, who was owned by Squish as much as Sara owned her, had to put Squish to sleep on November 7, 2018. Sara says “She went peacefully, safe in my arms, purring as I scritched her in her favorite spots until it was time, knowing I was there and that I loved her with all my heart.“ 

Squish was a source of great comfort and support to Sara and a very delightful floof, and Sara is naturally heartbroken. So is Ava the cat, Squish’s constant companion. However, there are still vet bills to pay. Sara shouldn’t have to worry about finagling the funds to make sure all that happens. 

Let’s make that a non-worry. If my ballpark estimate is too high, funds will be used for taking care of the remaining cat Ava, and any future cats. If it is too low, I will adjust and update the amount. Ava, Sara, and I thank you!

im not allergic to wheat but i am gluten…

@autisticnightfury not all people with celiac will react to wheat containing products on the skin, but some do, which is why gf skincare exists.

I have a friend who does not have a wheat allergy (like I do), they are purely celiac disease, but even just handling wheat or wheat containing products will cover their hands in lesions. So they don’t quite get the “fngh glutened” feeling/pain but they do still get a reaction which according to their skin prick test (boy those are fun) they shouldn’t be having.

It really depends on your individual sensitivities, and also maybe if you have a compromised skin barrier (as a lot of people with autoimmune problems can develop due to
inflammation) which will make you more prone to topical reactions to irritants anyway.

So it’s not a hard and fast rule for everyone, health and reactions are always going to be dependent on your own unique issues. But it’s something to be aware of if you do have celiac and are perhaps using a soap or a cleanser that might contain it, and if maybe you put your hands to your mouth without realizing, and then spend the rest of the day wondering how you could have possibly gotten glutened when you’ve eaten nothing with wheat in it.

Cause that took me a long ass time to realize our hand soap had wheat byproduct in it, so I was contaminating my food every time I washed my hands. So that was fun.
