Life of Grapje, since previous #caturday :

walking outside on a leash ; making friends with a fake cat ; getting his belly rubbed ; being hugged & photographed ;

plus, not pictured : sleeping on my bed, drinking milk , sitting at the window, looking in the mirror…

Caturday 1/n

mRačak is now in my house! Old&New!

Old cat, but we’ve been separated for a year+!! So we are getting to know each other again…

New place (for him), so he is getting used to it …

not being able to go outside must be frustrating:( & I’m missing our strolling around Osdorp too :(

He’s taking the role of emotional support again, I’m noticing …

He’s back into my arms, back in my bed, back on my lap.. & back to humping the blankets ;)

I need an advice : which #mastodon client for iPhone do you-all recommend?

… since I don’t like the updated version of the standard mastodon client for iOS anymore :(

I don’t need many features - no multiple tabs or weird things - plain is good enough.

Thanks!

2025-08-15T06:39:58Z

Today is a Catholic holiday in Croatia (Velika Gospa) & Italy (Feragosto) .

For me, this is interesting mostly for the abstinence of *work* & transformation from labor / political holiday into religious holiday :

Either Roman emperors granted this free day to their slaves, or: “Emperor Augustus made 1.8. a day of rest after weeks of hard work in the agricultural sector” & later it was moved to a Christian holiday: Assumption of Mary.

We are not independent entities, but vast, shifting communities of living & non-living participants.

Human exceptionalism hasn’t been questioned just because it is scientifically wrong. … this worldview has led to ecological devastation. Pronouncements of human superiority reduce Earth and its species to mere resources for human flourishing. In that sense, human exceptionalism has enabled climate catastrophe and the wanton extinction of other species.

Capitalism causes obesity : “The current political ideology prioritises economic growth,allowing commercial entities to freely influence the population to buy more. We face intense commercial pressure to eat and drink more… The most affordable options tend to be energy-rich and unhealthy. Once people put on weight, the industry can profit from an array of solutions like weight loss drugs, diet products, weight loss surgeries, and fitness programmes.” #DeGrowth not #diet https://www.sciencenorway.no/medicine-obesity-overweight/were-eating-ourselves-into-obesity-and-spending-a-fortune-on-weight-loss-pills/2305485

“Society trains men to put manhood at the very center of their identity. When we talk about #patriarchy, we talk about those things which men have built their identities and lives around. Of course they are defensive. It feels like an attack.

But we have to stop conflating patriarchy and #men.

Our ability to have really important conversations relies on our ability to make this distinction.”

- i am capable of listening to my body and responding to what it needs.

- it's okay if i no longer have ambitions for a career.

- i am worth so much more than what i produce for the consumption of others.

- it's okay to redefine what a successful life looks like for me.

- i am allowed to enjoy things simply because they bring me joy.

- ending time doing something I love is enough
