So, gay marriage is legal in CA, and now all of a sudden there’s this little ballot measure which aims to constitutionally ban same-sex marriages in CA.

If you have free time and are a Californian, please go here to sign up to make calls and phonebank against the proposition.

I wouldn’t ask that you do this, normally — I am not one to shove politics down someone else’s throat. However, those in favor of Prop 8, mostly conservative Christians who belong to organized religions with lots and lots of money, are rallying troops from everywhere, even out of state. This is unacceptable, as this is California’s election.

So, if you have the time, please donate some of it and make a few calls to just get in people’s heads.

There are times when you’re just so full of love that you gotta share that love with a little one.

My partner was part of the SFSPCA’s Foster Program before I met him, and kitten season is here again, which means what? WE HAVE KITTENS!!!! More than just kittens, actually! We received a momma cat and her three infant kittens a few days ago. Momma is Posey, and her babies (five days old when we got them) are Rosey, Thorn and Thistle.

Posey is a good momma, attentive to her babies, not hiding them or eating them, being very very loving and concerned and just… aww. And her babies? Sooooo cute. They’re tiny, really tiny.

Sometimes, they’re too tiny. The runt of the three, Thorn, seemed to be doing fine - was even great when he had his weigh-in yesterday morning - but we came home to find him not breathing. After checking a few times and trying not to freak out, we realized that unfortunately, he was dead. *sniffle* I’m not sure if he had a weak heart or lungs or just suffocated, but we had to say goodbye to a week old baby Thorn yesterday. Momma and the brother and sister are going in for a checkup today.

But, Rosey and Thistle are doin’ just fine. Their eyes are just beginning to open up and their ears are almost unfolding. They’re playful and kinda beginning to interact with us peoples, respond to our voices and touch… ohmygod they’re so precious. So, so precious.

I’ve been a big supporter of all things related to HIV awareness and prevention for quite some time. I have manned safe sex hotlines, given out condoms and briefly flirted with the idea of joining the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. My most (and most major) effort came in the form of volunteering for an HIV Vaccine, and I find out hopefully within the next month or two whether I received a placebo or proposed vaccine. The point is, I like to do what I can to possibly-maybe stop the spread of HIV and AIDS worldwide, raise awareness and create a better future for humans.

I’m not the only one - a swell coworker of mine by the name of Carl Chen is participating in one of the most strenuous and amazing events out there to raise HIV/AIDS Awareness: The AIDS/LifeCycle, a seven day and 545 mile bicycle ride from SF to LA. I am not able to participate, but I am able to sponsor him, and I ask that you go and take a look at his page (https://www.aidslifecycle.org/donate/form.cfm?f=Carl&l=Chen&p=Cyclist&n=1889) and give him a few bucks for his fantastic efforts. Better yet: For every $25.00 you donate to him, I will donate $1.00. How do you like them apples, huh??

So please, give him mad props, make a donation and help us all fight the good fight!

EDIT: If you have donated, please let me know; e-mail me at furball at furrylilfucker dot com and notify me of the amount of your contribution so I can match it!!!
