This is my version of a reddit post turned meme. It's a post in u/BarnFinds that features a photograph of a bay pony standing behind a fence. The book "Gore Poetics" has been edited in front of the pony's face. The original post's subject title is "how do i makehim go away". The username has been blurred. The caption beneath the pony photograph reads, "i found him in my bart and now he DOES NOT leave me along i have been making him read Samir Sirk Morató's 'Gore Poetics' in hopes that bad art will enfeeble him but hes still here and i don't like it"

throwback to the time my cat got angry she couldn't be in my lap and loafed in this home-made mannekin's lap in the dark. very normal behavior. #InternationalCatDay

This is a photograph of Anise, a small tabby cat, contentedly sitting in a scary, home-made mannekin's lap. They're in the corner of a storage room.

This is a close up of Anise's face in sunlight.

This a photograph of Anise sleeping on a couch. She's curled up like a shrimp.

Ríhanna doesn't have an official legal defense fund because multiple crowdfunding websites have shut down her campaigns. please donate to her directly and send her well-wishes on Facebook. Venmo: venmo.com/u/Rihanna_Ke... www.facebook.com/share/p/18uT...

This is a facebook post from Ríhanna Novalee ChasingStars, ie Ríhanna Kelver. It reads:

Hello! Welcome those who have found my Facebook! My name is Rihanna Kelver and yes, I am currently facing two felony charges after defending myself from a violent hate crime.

If you are a member of the press, please feel free to message me through here or at rihanna_kelver@outlook.com.

If you are someone looking to support me and my legal fund. You can find my Venmo at @Rihanna_Kelver or https://venmo.com/u/Rihanna_Kelver

The reason I have to use my Venmo is because we’ve been kicked off three crowd funding sites now due to ToS violations. Apparently surviving a hate crime and being charged for surviving it constitutes “fundraising for the defense of a violent crime.”

Anyways, thank you all so much for your support and keep up the good fight 💖🏳️‍⚧️
