How can we rise again when we didn’t rise in the first place? We lost, get over it. Seriously, y’all ain’t gonna do shit because you didn’t do shit the first time around.

There’s lots of sperm banks, and banks that hold fertilized but unused embryos. We wouldn’t need men for quite a long time if we used those banks...

I always thought it was rude and annoying to ask to pet a service animal? I love critters, and will pet any and all I can. But not service animals.

I had someone the other day try to bring a (very small) dog into my store. When asked for it’s license/papers/proof of being a working dog, the owner said she was waiting on the paper work to come in the mail.

Some grocery stores have it. If not them, maybe a specialty place like Trader Joes or something?

The white people I hear say ‘I don’t see color” are some of the most racists shits out there. You don’t see color, but you freely call the people across the street the Nword and complain about their ‘loud shitty music’ and parties right before you turn up your own loud shitty music and start throwing back jello…

Works for litter boxes too. If it’s a tight week and I gotta make the litter last longer than it really should, I’ll line the cat boxes with an inch or two of paper. It soaks up the majority of the pee, and cuts down on smell. (I typically use clumping litter, but some weeks I can’t afford it so I get plain clay.)

Probably. The clothing is right.

I’m O+ also, but the place I give at prefers I donate biweekly plasma/platelets. Something about my body lacking something that allows my blood products to go towards sick babies? (Boy do they guilt trip me with that...) I’m still not entirely sure what’s up with that, but whatever. Just stick me and take it, lol

And don’t shoot any blanks.

I call bullshit because I’ve seen crazy fuckers go after wild boar with a fucking knife and a barking dog on a chain.

It’s beyond ridiculous, it’s pure bullshittery. Especially since straight people are just like gay people: if you’re not testing on the regular, you don’t know what you have. And you can be sleeping around with a new person each night. But as a straight person, I won’t be asked or banned like you would. Freaking…

North Carolina employers are at will employers. Any business down here can fire you for any reason, and you can’t do jack shit. (Excepting protected classes like race, religion, blah blah.) Take a knee if a game is on TV? Fired. Politely ignore a customer ranting and get a complaint? Fired. Doesn’t matter what…

The biggest way you can help is to donate on the regular, shooting or not. Don’t wait for tragedy to strike before donating. Whole blood doesn’t last long.

I’m honestly afraid to go to a con. I got enough verbal abuse just hanging out with other geeks and nerds when I did. (I used to hang out at a card shop that hosted Magic the Gathering tournys, and we’d all just play for fun, and test out new board games.) And the physical creep factor of this guy hanging just a bit…

I can get that. I refer to myself as a scifi geek and will happily talk about my favorite stuff and what it means and yada yada.

As a female scfi geek, this is nothing new. We know.

Simple repairs, alterations and tailoring can be easily learned. All you need is a needle and spool of thread in an appropriate color. You can cheaply buy a sewing kit that contains multiple colors of thread (the bobbins are little but for repairs, it’s enough to last a while), and needles. I have them at my store for…

Good luck.

Patience is your biggest virtue when it comes to cats. Leash training is fairly easy. Start by doing it in the house. Trust me. A cat can rip you to shreds at the start of a lawnmower or the shriek of a child and you’ll be left standing empty handed and wondering where all that blood came from.
