Siren and Howie's love story #howiethecrab #sirenthecat

The dress is finished! This took me such a long time. I feel like I need to say this... I'm not a social media model. I'm not a size 2, I'm a 12. With the awards coming up, you'll be seeing a lot more of me. I prefer only to post about animals. I'm dreading being in front of so many cameras, especially at the pool party in Las Vegas. Most days, I look like a tub of butter, and it's taken me years and years to accept my body the way it is. I have a double chin when I smile, a tummy roll when I sit, and thighs big enough for two cats to fit in my lap. I am preparing for opinions that I don't want. I trust that my followers will be kind, but there will always be trolls. But even more than that, society loves to shame women, especially online. My body has truly been through hell and back, and I'm lucky to be standing and walking after what I've been through. My spine is fused, and I have an odd looking walk. My hearing is also not good, so I often respond to questions wrong because I can't make out the words. I am not putting myself on view for likes and comments. My mission will always be to advocate for crabs, animals, and the earth, and I can't do that and stay hidden. So if you see a really bad angle of me online, hear me respond to a question, and it doesn't make sense, or see the way I walk, remember that I'm human. I'm a wife, a mother to a child, a mother to many animals, and a person with feelings. That being said, I am really proud of the dress I made, and these are my *best angles*, so don't be shocked if I look like a round blueberry on the red carpet. 😆 #bekind #dressmaking #cheerchoiceawards2024

Molt Watch update day 25. Howie hasn't eaten on 25 days and she's starting to show signs that she's experiencing pain from the molting process. It's hard to watch and feel this helpless. 😪 #howiethecrab #moltwatch2024 #Update
