People, spay and neuter your cats and keep them indoors. Outdoor cats have shorter lives and are more prone to disease and illness. Plus, no one wants your stupid cat shitting in their yard and walking all over their car with their pissy paws and tormenting their indoor cats by sitting directly outside of their…

I’m an outdoors person so I feel frequent, terrible guilt for imprisoning my indoor kitty. So, I got him a harness and a leash. He’s fine with the harness, albeit avoidant, but take him outside and he. Does. Not. Like. It. No matter how many times I have taken him out to get him used to it, he just wants to go back…

Yeah, it actually surprises me that the articles says vets disagree with the government on this. Every vet I’ve ever been to has pushed for indoor cats and the healthier and likely longer lives they’d have by not being exposed to the outdoors.

I love me some kitties, I won’t lie (I’m sitting next to my fat ass cat right now!) but according to scientists, cats kill huge numbers of birds a year- one study estimating in the billions, though other experts debated the specific numbers, while acknowledging the impact was huge.

And the British overcharge? Still bitter after all of these centuries?

If you close up the diaper around the shit and use the tabs to secure it, the smell is minimal. Definitely no worse than what a public bathroom would smell like if someone else took a shit in the toilet.

Last year when I was sick with a really awful, self-pitying bout of the flu, I fell down an internet rabbit hole of those press junkets. I had watched all three of those could-have-been-great Hobbit films, and happened upon an interview of James Nesbitt (the dwarf with the funny hat, who is the best). And then…

Honestly, I know poaching happens all the time and I’m always upset by it, but the wall-to-wall coverage of poor Cecil sent me into conniptions. I can’t bring myself to read or watch any details bc I’m afraid they’ll show pictures of his body and I’ll throw myself off a bridge.

Right?! Slightly disappointed. But I just googled Fran Drescher, and she’s looking great these days. Good for you, Fran. Ben doesn’t deserve you.

You’re right! This guy is worse than Putin.

It’s a real shame conversvatives are so reactionary about Sharia law. I think if they sat down and really took the time to give it a fair look they’d find a lot of common ground. It could be a chance to build some bridges thanks to both group’s dedication to opressing women.

I am reading all of this on a day that has significant meaning to my life. My ex husband is being released on 6 yrs of extended supervision after serving 8yrs of initial confinement. He was convicted of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault and Battery against ,me, at the time - his legal spouse. It was a horrific crime that came…

No, you get a fucking clue. When an alpha male is replaced, the new male will either eat the cubs or chase them out the pride. I have no idea what age the current cubs are, but they are very definitely at risk.

“Let me take my shirt off and hug this dead cat.”

The petition is NOT pro-decriminalization. It’s advocating for criminalization of clients and third parties, a model that creates tremendous danger for people involved in the sex trade, whether they’re their voluntarily or not.

a) Sweden already has universal healthcare so the point is moot b) from what I’ve read the solicitation laws just pushed prostitution underground and made it both more dangerous for prostitutes (from their own perspectives) and more difficult for public health advocates to communicate with the community.

Because saying you’re going to decriminalize the selling of sex while still criminalizing the buying of sex isn’t really decriminalizing the _transaction_ that sex workers want to engage in, is it? The purpose of the Amnesty International recommendation is to allow sex workers to engage in sex work, with no…

While you’re at it, check out agriculture. Most human trafficking has nothing to do with sex work. And yet no one is trying to criminalize out-of-local-season produce.

Criminalising the purchasing of sex, and the owning of brothels, would directly harm many of the sex workers living in my city (WGTN, NZ) - myself included. We’ve had full decrim, including buying of sex and running of brothels, agencies or parlours, since 2003. This allows consensual workers AND the people we work…
