Objectively, he’s also just a zaddy, which is how I read the meme.

Outdoor cats (house pets as well as feral cats) are by far the largest cause of human-related mortality in North American birds. Link

Not to mention the average lifespan of an indoor cat is 3x longer than that of an outdoor cat.

Free roaming outdoor cats are more likely to be hit by cars, have health complications, be attacked by wildlife, or be harmed by humans.

Don’t let your cats free roam outside. Domestic cats are pets and they deserve love and warmth and safe playtime.

Someone should create safe injection sites and call them “jails” and then I bet right wingers would be all over letting addicts go to jails for “short term incarceration”.

Better yet, create ultra low security “prisons” that allow “prisoners” to have “unescorted temporary absences” but really they’re just free homes for the unhoused and they can sign in and out as they please.

I think that’s the language those people prefer.

Interesting, in Canada the only backlash I really heard (and from my own mother) was that it was too new and we weren’t sure of the longer term effects. I got it anyway since it was being offered for free to people my age (I remember jokes about being guinea pigs). I don’t have HPV and the vaccine doesn’t seem to have killed me yet so win-win I guess.

As someone who was woken up by a dirty paw in my mouth an hour before my alarm this morning, I’m not so sure.

Ngl, if any of the AI tools we have now used clippy as a mascot I would probably be 35% more likely to use them. At least clippy doesn’t have a dumb fucking name like GROK.

Dear god, my trypophobia was triggered at the thought of this.

Grave of the fireflies. Didn’t even shed a tear and I cry at everything. Someone psychoanalyze me.

I agree with you, but don’t like that the interpretation puts the onus on the person being cheated on. Like, people will cheat even if they’re with the most gorgeous, totally out of their league person. Cheating has nothing to do with how attractive or how attentive to themselves your partner is. If you’re a cheater, you’re gonna be a cheater.

I wanna be a robot woman

I have a friend whose neighbour literally watched their cat get eaten by a coyote in their backyard. The friend still let her own cat out in that same neighbourhood after that happened cause "oh he just keeps getting out, we don’t know how…"🙄 Poor guy got hit by a car some months later.

I lost my cat for a week once but he wasn’t an outdoor cat, he just snuck past as I was coming home in the dark once. It was so difficult to try to explain to people that no, he is not an outside cat, and please please help me get him back home because he doesn’t know how to get home. So many people in the neighbourhood saw him but they just assumed he was an outdoor cat and didn’t bother.

Thankfully I found him after many nights of going out to search for him, but I really can’t imagine people would’ve reacted the same to a lost dog.

This was like 15 years ago but I’m still in the habit of opening my door foot first now to make sure I push any curious kitties back before I walk in.

My boyfriend is a very nice guy. He helps servers do their job by piling the plates when we’re done eating and leaving them at the edge of the table where they’re accessible like a normal human being.

I can promise you from 10+ years of experience in the service industry, getting up to grab your own food, no matter how “polite” your intent is, is never, ever fucking welcome. Not only is it insulting and passive aggressive, but it can cause hazards for the customer and other servers, besides you could be stealing food that’s not even your own. This is absolutely unhinged behaviour.

Editing to add a PSA: it’s also never okay to take food off a server’s tray. That shit takes balance and you will get food or drinks spilled all over you if you pull that shit.

Where the fuck did I say Palestine would destroy Israel?

I am 100% pro-Palestine, I just genuinely do not understand how voting someone in who has exponentially sped up the genocide and sped up the suffering of brown, queer people and women, in his own country is somehow the more moral choice in all of this. It doesn’t make any fucking sense to me.

I was house-sitting recently and my friend had club house roasted garlic and pepper blend. Shit was so good, I will definitely be picking some up for myself.

I know I’ll get downvoted for this, and to be clear, all of our governments supporting this genocide are absolute bullshit and capitalism is bullshit.

However, at least you had one choice that wasn’t actively also trying to destroy your own country and take away the rights of people in your own country to such an extent that they now can’t even worry about what’s happening elsewhere because they’re too worried trying to find healthcare and not get deported, killed, or permanently detained.

If you were going to not vote in order to take down the system, then show up and take down the god damn fucking system.

Is there a reason you’re unable to provide wet food? I know it can be a bit more expensive, but my vet said even literally a tablespoon of wet food a day mixed with some water is extremely beneficial for their health and will lead to lower vet bills over time.

Is it that much different from how fun control became a thing in California?

The “wrong” people have to start enjoying guns is all

I wrote my thesis about how we can learn from Cuba’s green farming movements (because they were essentially locked out of capitalism) and was criticized for it.

I binged the first season of North of North. Comedy about a modern day Inuk woman living in her very small town in Nunavut. Reminiscent of parks and rec but not a mockumentary style. A bit cheesy at times but tons of potential and touched on some really important topics. Love to see indigenous representation.
