The argument that people aren’t watching it because they’re not in transit or waiting in line anymore is stupid. Look at how popular TikTok is! Quibi is just a bad concept.

Listen. Adoption is such a long, arduous, painful, confusing, emotional, EXPENSIVE process that the idea anyone would or could go through it as some kind of popularity stunt or money-making enterprise (omg) is absurd. I mean, I think vlogging the whole thing like this is in very bad taste, but reasonable minds can…

I love that she thinks the proper channels actually have the time, resources, or even sometimes the fucks to give about some homeless dude abusing his dog. A drunk guy stumbled into my apartment one night and took a piss in my bathroom and left. I called the police and they were like, “Oh, did he leave? K, just lock…

Nah, peak white woman bullshit is feeling so much pity and white/elite guilt that you brand all unhoused people as saints instead of looking at them as unique individuals. This is not a good man. Period. Housed or unhoused. This dog has been horrifically mutilated. Period. She has been living an excrutiating nightmare…

Having a companion animal isn’t a basic human right. If you are unable to properly care for the animal then you shouldn’t be allowed to have one, period. 

You should be crying because the dog was severely abused. Even her genitals were damaged. Jezebel isn't giving the full story.

Honestly y’all this is a really bad take. It seems like she definitely could have done more due diligence about the appropriate chain of command that should be followed before accepting an animal into her rescue. But that dog *couldn’t walk*. She was severely malnourished, covered in excrement, and had a badly…

The reporting on this seems incredibly sensationalized. There are plenty of houseless people that love and care for their pets (and this woman has said as much), but this dog had evidence of severe abuse (possibly even sexual) and neglect. This is evident from the photos posted on her rescue page. Animals are…

all of this sounds like he wasn’t fit to care for the dog, though; if it’s reaching a condition that could be mistaken for abuse (assuming it is not actually abuse), and he can’t pay for vet care, then he doesn’t really sound like a fit owner for a pet of any kind. just like not everyone’s meant to be a parent... not…

A few thoughts:

just adding: the sudden call for obedience and lawfulness in comparison to more recent articles is also odd. all around, this seems like something that should be applauded rather than shamed (again, especially considering the dog’s condition).

assuming that the influencer is telling the truth about the dog’s condition (which is at least somewhat supported by the dog needing a wheelchair)... i wonder how much this differs from saving an abused/neglected animal from a nearby yard? the headline makes it sound like she just wanted a dog she saw and took it for…

People will study this whole thing as a terrible public health disaster.

“Can’t live in fear forever...,”

Does anyone feel like their entire life has been splattered with so many mixed messages that their brain is eventually going to split in half? Ladies, we just need to remember: Be confident, but don’t be egotistical. Speak your mind, but not enough to make anyone uncomfortable. Know your worth and accept no less, but…

I’m not gonna give these two a fucking cookie but if there’s one thing the past month has taught me, it’s just how prevalent this type of thinking is and how fucking impossible it is for people to understand. And god knows I’ve tried. I’ve had a few really difficult discussions with people I thought were friends and…

I’d listen to your podcast.

Man, people are still on the fucking Mike Johnson train—but that guy is boring as fuck. Yes, he seems nice enough (and my wife gives him top marks for his smile), but holy shit, snoozefest. I remember on the Bachelor in Paradise following Hannah B.’s season, he showed up, there was like half an episode where people…

You know, I can understand how, at first glance, the NYT piece can read as classist.

Yes voting. For President but also for commissioners and judges and sheriffs and magistrates.
