There is an animal rescue in #Vancouver that is refusing to adopt animals to trans people, and is planning to euthanize a cat rather than adopt to a trans woman who has been fostering him.

Willing to chat with media about this.

#yvr #animalrescue #catrescue Folks, for those who are asking me to name and shame publicly immediately: my first priority is to prevent this ‘rescue’ (run by one person) from spite-killing this cat. Once I get the cat to safety, I can do more.

So here’s the thing about the ‘no excuses’, ‘always hustle’ bullshit; the refusal to recognize that people - even neuroatypical folks, or those with a chronic illness or disability - have limits.

We KNOW people have limits.

The evidence? Video games.

Let me explain.

1/n
In every game ever made, there’s a recognition of limits. Look at, I don’t know, Super Mario World for the NES as an early game. Mario jumps into a pit? He dies. He hits a Goomba? He dies. There are places he can’t go, no matter how much he wants to or how much he tries.

We all know by now that the @vulture article on #UniversalFanCon/#Fancon is just... so far beyond wrong in every possible way, and that @DarthGeekonius has some f’ing nerve.

But I also want to talk about the finances of another con run by Thai Pham, their finance guy. (Thread) This is a link to the financial disclosure form for Anime Expo in LA, run by the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (a nonprofit), in 2009 while Thai Pham, #Fancon/#UniversalFanCon’s finance VP, was head of finance for the SPJA: irs990.charityblossom.org/990O/200912/94…
