They did this to Canadian geese in Seattle with surprising little uproar. Funny how these mass culling are "necessary for the environment" for any non-human out of control population but people are not even universally in favor of basic birth control practices to hold our numbers in check. http://www.historylink.org…
We have a rescue kitty who was scrawny when we adopted her. I think her food insecurity as a kitten messed with her brain because now, even with very regular feedings, she still always wants more more more. After consulting w/ our vet about her bottomless appetite and distended belly, she was put on a protein-rich/all…
Did anyone else think Madonna looked like she'd suffered some major illness? She was so hunched and frail looking she looked more like my 90 year old grandfather than someone who throughout her life has probably danced more miles than ultra-marathon athletes run.
I don't want to do anything but hide away with my partner...
I think you make a really good point about girls opting out of class participation when boys are present. Another consideration is the bias some teachers (both male and female) demonstrate toward male students in science and tech classes. Some bias is very subtle; my high school chem teacher (who was female!) always…

Totally. You're describing our dog perfectly. Sometimes I worry about how attached I am to this damn thing.
Now playing
Have you seen this wealth inequality infographic? It blew my mind. I thought I had a handle on where we were and it's so much more dramatically FUBAR than I'd thought.
The pack loyalty thing is so true in borders; ours is super affectionate toward her people and could care less about others (unless they're holding a frisbee or ball). And the sensitivity factor is touching but worrisome. Whenever we leave for an extended trip our dog spends the first three days anxiety barfing. After…
I'm the stepmother of a delightful 13 y/o who loves good comedy. I'm, of course biased, but I think this kid has the right stuff to take a crack at comedy as either either a performer/writer/whatever else there is in the field. In my complete ignorance of the field, I can offer nothing in the way of guidance except,…
I have a spooky story about sleep paralysis and a emotionally abusive "ghost". When I first moved to Seattle I lived in a charming old building on the top of Queen Anne. It was a lovely place with leaded glass windows, a built in breakfast nook, and mahogany trim that had never been painted. I loved everything about…
Yep. Herding breeds are certainly not for everyone but, with the right match, so rewarding. She's very much a part of our family. We have two real kids in our house and one furry daughter.
I have a smart and obedient border collie. She was a little destructive before she learned what behaviors were and were not permissible but now shivers in fear of our displeasure if she inadvertently does something she things might make us unhappy. We are super loving pet owners who are careful to not even raise our…
You have a delightfully balanced an open attitude toward this issue, probably stemming from your belief that "in an alternate universe" w/out a child you'd likely still be happy. I'm one of the last of my friends w/out biological children (I have stepchildren who I adore) and I'm continually alienated by friends with…
Whaaa?
Exactly. Give a man a log, you'll keep him warm for a day. Teach a man to hack apart his home furnishings with an axe and he'll be warm for at least a week.
What about how your nostrils feel like they're freezing shut with each inhalation? Or the way you can feel the friction between your eyelids and eyes as your tears start to freeze? Remember that shit??? I grew up in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota (near the -44 on the map) and now live in Seattle. Although I miss the…
These pics are a goddamn revelation. Please keep posting them at every opportunity.
