Rihanna is about to do a whole fashion show with plus size, pregnant, trans models now just to make a goddamned point, isn’t she?

Here, a cheap cat:
My orange tabby was clearly not fancy, but I get you with the change in behaviour! He was about 7 when I got him and all I know for sure is that his previous owner dabbled in scary drugs, and his babysitter when she was out of town (she was a carny), died in her apartment and wasn’t found for some time. The rescue…
Any cat with a huge vet bill.
It’s disgusting. She’s given away millions and millions to charities all over the world. She worked for amnesty international and has championed causes for aid to Africa... she wrote the most successful children’s book series in history which had the central message “being a racist xenophobe is fucking evil and…
I know about that. It was a very poor choice, but I do hope she is remembered for her amazing literary accomplishments and her support of charities rather than this. How many (still) celebrated male authors have we forgiven for more egregious things? I have a very long list.
I got an expensive-ass cat (from the Humane Society when his previous human went into an old-folks home) and I felt so sorry for the guy; being a collector-cat, he’d never really experienced a cat life. I don’t know what she did to him, but he had some severe mental issues that made him unhomeable to any but an…
Who shat in your cheerios?
I definitely think it can be a valid argument, but the breach of trust is the more relevant issue here, I’d say.
I would love to be turned down by this cat.
Exactly. Worth half a billion+ or not, would you trust someone who stole money from you? And sure, $30k isn’t that much to her, but it’s still a pretty large sum of money by the average human being’s standards.
It’s safe to say JKR’s a bit of a mixed bag, persona- and public-statement-wise. But surely she is allowed to impose consequences on someone who stole from her, and I don’t think “she has so much money, who cares about a measly five figures and a few cats” is a valid argument. IF it happened, it’s a violation of…
I mean can we get some pics of the cats? I kind of want to see what $800 cats look like
Considering the Irish wake is part of the long drawn out chain of ceremony including visitation of the body in the home (or funeral home for the moderns) (this is when the wake generally happens because people are going in and out of the house for hours on end and someone breaks out the alcohol at some point), removal…
Your great-grandfather was right. The funeral industry as such really took off in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth century. We were starting to see medical advances (so sometimes people lingered in weird ways), and also families that didn’t necessarily want (and weren’t necessarily able to have) bodies lying…
Nearly all natural fibers must be chemically treated to be woven into cloth. I'm a hobbiest spinner and knotter, and I've prepped a variety of fibers from raw material to spin them. Flax must be rented to make linen. Silk must be degummed prior to being stretched into hankies for spinning. Wool must be scoured and…
The funeral director saying “I cold take care of them” is a good one, too.
If if ever there was an American ritual that needs to die it’s the funeral, especially the viewing of the decedent. In my lifetime I’ve watched it go from a 3* day process down to 1 and done. Myself? Cremation and a party with a lot of photos.
