Dog people don’t quite understand that well-cared for indoor cats regularly live into their late teens, some into their 20s. Also cats don’t tend to show visible signs of aging like dogs do. A 10-15 year old medium/large breed dog is usually visibly old and often slowing. Cats at that age who have good genetics and have received good care look completely like their younger selves and still have play drives and energy and their personalities. Not my cat though. She’s only 5 and she’s looked like roadkill since birth. People often think she’s a senior cat because her body type is weird and she doesn’t groom herself. This is because she is just a little weirdo.
I’ve read a few recent fics which involved a good Petunia leaving Vernon and helping to raise Harry - in particular, the brilliant even the bones will do by professor_moony, and for some reason that sparked a ‘What if Petunia left Vernon when it became clear that she needed to raise Harry, and became venomous best buds with Remus?’ And this ridiculousness was born. I’ve been trying to get myself back into the swing of writing by writing and posting drabbles quite quickly, so apologies for any mistakes. This is NOT a shipping fic. Petunia/Remus is not something I’m prepared to explore.
“I’ve left my husband,” said Petunia. “He’s gone. Divorce papers in the mail.”
Remus looked up. She was still staring at the wall, her face very hard and set. “I’m very flattered, but unfortunately I’m gay.”
“I thought I could sense something off about you.”
“That might be the fact I’m a werewolf.”
“Good grief,” she said, wrinkling her nose. “Anything else?”
“I’m completely unemployable and borderline homeless?”
“I don’t know why I bother.” She tilted her head back, apparently done with the wall, to turn her attention to the ceiling. “She’s not going to live, is she?”
Remus didn’t reply. Couldn’t reply. He refused to see beyond this one, awful moment. Everything after was going to be worse.
Petunia sighed. “What’s the point? What is the – forgive my language – bloody point of all this, of all the we’re so much better than you miggles carry-on if you can’t save - “ She broke off. Remus politely looked away. He knew the signs of someone trying not to sob.
“It’s muggles, actually,” he said, once her breathing had become a little less watery. “Not miggles.”
“It is a stupid word either way.”
“You’re not wrong there.”
She blew her nose three times in quick succession, like she was trying to force the feelings out. “They’re leaving the boy with me. Something about a charm on his mother’s bloodline – I don’t know. That funny man in the silly dress explained it to me. Just how many wizards are homosexuals?”
“All of us. James and Lily were a rare heterosexual exception. We used to tease them in the corridors and call them Het-hogs. Like hedgehogs, but - “
“You think you are a great deal funnier than you actually are.”
“Probably.”
“Harry’s going to be like his parents, isn’t he? Magical, I mean.”
“Yeah,” said Remus, aware he was walking on the edge of a trap. “I mean, he might – yeah. Probably.”
“I thought so. So did Vernon. My husband. Hence - “
“The end of your marriage. Ah.”
Another one of those granite pauses. Remus was beginning to wonder if Lily hadn’t been adopted.
Then Petunia sighed. “Well, I certainly don’t know anything about magic. So I suppose we better work out when you can visit.”
I love vague labels that make people go "but that's confusing" or "but that could mean anything" Good. Keep guessing lol
"Queer doesn't actually tell me anything" who says I wanted to tell you anything. Who even are you.
“you shouldn’t like that character because they’re a terrible person”

Anyway.
For those of you aren't aware and aren't involved in NDN circles, the Supreme Court just declared that tribal territories and reservations are part of states and are under state jurisdiction, including in regards to charging someone and putting them on trial in state courts for crimes related to the tribe (as opposed to this being left up to tribal courts), undoing decades of precedent for the separation of tribal and state governments.
In a few months, the Supreme Court is also going to be giving a verdict on whether or not the Indian Child Welfare Act, the only thing keeping indigenous children with their families and communities instead of being "adopted" (trafficked) to white Christian families at every chance, is unconstitutional. This act is also dependent on the belief that tribes are sovereign nations and that giving our children to people outside of our tribes is akin to the US government taking Canadian children in the Canadian foster system and trying to adopt them out to American families.
If the ICWA falls, we're going to see a modern Sixties Scoop, with Native children being stolen from their tribes and families and cultures and assimilated into white Christian society. This is not only traumatizing for the children and their families, it's also a form of cultural genocide that has been used against us before and has devastating effects.
There are family members I never knew because they disappeared into the foster system as children.
This is the beginning of what's going to be wave after wave of attacks on indigenous sovereignty and tribal governance. The Supreme Court, even with a Democratic majority, has historically decided against upholding indigenous sovereignty and tribal protection. We're seeing genocide and forced assimilation become federal policy again.
To be clear, the court today holds that Indian country within a state's territory is part of a state, not separate from a state," Kavanaugh wrote in a decision that scholars of Native American law said was a major departure from longstanding precedent.
Just to reinforce the reality of this, this isn't some small potatoes, only once in a while relevant ruling. This affects the sovereignty of Native lands.
Not sure what I can say aside from the fact that this shit is disgusting.
Obnoxious how most anti-infantilization activism in many low support-centric autistic communities seems to rely on arguing we don’t need support rather than reducing the stigma attatched to needing support.
Simply put, most anti-infantilization autistic activism I see is about how we don’t need to be talked to slowly, need 24/7 care, don’t need help with going to the toilet, don’t need help shopping, etc. because we ‘aren’t toddlers’.
Which is a bad kind of activism, because, uh, many of us DO need those things. This is a fact. Ignoring it won’t make it go away. And saying that only children need those things IS infantilization.
What we SHOULD be arguing is that adults who have medium to high support needs and who need help with or just can’t do basic tasks, can’t speak or can’t speak well, need to have things explained slowly/repeatedly, etc. are still adults and deserve to be respected as such. Having higher support needs isn’t childish.
No, people shouldn’t assume that all autistics have higher support needs. But autistics with lower support needs also shouldn’t erase those who do, when they are ALWAYS the ones most impacted by infantilization.
