I organize my books in folders on my kindle.

“’I always say, start with your books,’ Erica in the House advises. She recommends stacking the books in different ways—”

Indeed. I’ve often called this phenomenon the dreaded “Purchaser’s Mistake”.

Ah. A classic argumentum ad ignorantiam.

The worst part is, if the zookeepers hadn’t acted quickly enough and the poor kid had been torn limb from limb in front of horrified onlookers, most of the people going bonkers and screaming for justice over the death of this innocent beautiful magical Circle of Life gorilla would’ve clicked through the story to…

I am both sad the gorilla was killed and happy the kid is alive. Funny thing about humans, we can have complicated emotions.

And of course Kaley Cuoco, a woman who has no children, would come to the side of the animal. I have a baby. I am totally on board with what the zoo did. It's tragic that beautiful animal was killed in the process, but they saved that boy.

I put this story in the “there but the grace of God go I” category. And I’m agnostic. My kids are now 19 and 12, but I’m still haunted by enough near misses when they were little. All moms have stories of the time their kid wandered off. I’m thankful mine were never recorded for national news.

When you’re not hungover, just go watch a few ape docs on YouTube. Though it’s a different animal, there’s a similar reaction — you can see chimps being tranquilized on Chimp Eden, a show that was on Animal Planet about 10 years ago. When dart hits ape, ape freaks the fuck out for a good minute or two, and longer if…

It’s terrible that a gorilla was killed but they saved a little kid. Should the zoo done something differently? I don’t know, they were in panic mode. It feels to me that the angry mob wouldn’t be as vile if the child was white.

Did the parents express any remorse for the death of Harambe? (sorry, i don’t facebook).

James now we have proff, GOD is for realz

I don’t just hate Christianity. I hate Islam too.

I think they like animals but they LOVE judging the shit out of someone else and feeling that warm glow of self-righteous condemnation.

The same ones who never, ever take their eyes off their children would also never, ever use one of those kid leash things and would give others hell for using them.

I hate keyboard warriors. Want to go back in time and parent in the pre-Internet age. Must have been glorious.

Everybody’s a perfect parent on the internet.

I’m basically everyone I know’s resident crazy animal lady (mostly because all I ever post are pics of my pets and also I have a lot of pets and work for an animal rescue - edited to add that my coworker says I have a hoodie with my dog’s face on it which is peak animal crazy), but man, people on the internet make me…

God protected my child until the authorities were able to get to him. My son is safe and was able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes... no broken bones or internal injuries.
