As an extra note, zoos with breeding programs are strongly supported by conservationists and wildlife managers because they’re a good backup for the wild population.

Hey there! It’s a bummer that I can’t see my notifications, because something with Kinja, but carry on I will. I finally saw the cardiologist for the results of my latest echo, and Backstreet’s back, baby! My EF, which refers to the strength of the heart as it sends out blood, I think, is significantly improved, and…

Love SNS? Ever wish it was available 24/7? A long long time ago, jezebel (and all the gawker blogs) had an openthread that was always available for just general chatting. This was back in the days when the comments were actually moderated. It was just a scrolling page of comments, nothing fancy. Jezebel’s was called Gr…

It’s amazing that his positions galvanized a new generation of activism and have pushed the Democratic field to the left. He is demanding many things that we sorely need. I also agree that responsible adults must compartmentalize to some degree when it comes to political candidates - you won’t like EVERYTHING about…

There is much more risk (anesthesia for both tigers) and less than stellar results overall with this method. While this is tragic, the same things happen in the wild. I am sure this team did everything they could to mitigate things, but they are in fact wild animals and sometimes it just doesn’t work out.

I’m confident I will never be as fancy as those bouffant chickens, and I am fine with that.

Take the law seriously, for starters:

Article fails to mention that there are no laws in place that punish discrimination against pregnant workers. I’m so fucking sick of global demographic mysteries that have answers screaming in your face. White men shoot up schools and churches because they’re violently bigoted. Mystery solved. There aren’t enough…

I went to the open house last week, all prepared to interview, and it turns out that the Akron pharmacy managers did not get the memo that the open house was for multiple positions throughout the Cleveland Clinic health system.(About half of the advertised positions on the open house invitation don’t even exist in…

I experienced that multiple times in my life. In the worst iteration I finally noticed something was wrong when I fell asleep on the toilet after having had three red bulls, all before lunch and after a decent night of sleep. That was Lyme disease. It also came with a crippling depression. Here’s some things your doc…

Hi Jezzies, I want to thank a lot of you for all of your advice and offers of help last week, it has meant so much to me. I have found a cat sitter for Ollie and Can spend Xmas with family. Those of you who have seen me comment for the part 16 months know what a hell it has been for me. I attempted suicide and became…

to be fair, if the person has anxiety and/or panic disorder, panic attacks can come from positive or negative stress, or even just happen without anything to point to as a cause. they just happen.

My deepest thanks again to all of you for your support last week about making the leap towards a new job and a new, better life for myself.

More like stole Lorde’s props am I right?

lol it was the staw that broke the camel’s back.

this is long, but this is the email i received from the Satanic Temple explaining why they are doing this, and after reading it, i completely agree with them:

Get thee to Eshakti, where *all* dresses can be made knee and/or tea length, and you can customize the sleeves and bust of most. Their whole schtick is almost custom. And as a bonus, they have an enormous size range.

Not to justify the caging of animals but there is plenty of inter pride murder going on even in the wild

Are you fucking kidding me here? I *wish* I was single most days. There’s nothing like taking three naps on Sunday, staying out as late as I want, and having a pet.

“And as someone who grew up with a cat who loves to kill animals and leave home for days on end hunting, it’s not as easy as sticking your cat indoors all the time.”
