Yeah, it can be, I’m sorry. Best to check the specific oils and maybe talk to a vet, and learn the signs that the cat is ill.. I have a cat and my soap room where I work with and store EOs is in a separate outbuilding away from her. I used to use a lot of clove and citrus oils in my housecleaning and stopped when…

Same! I binged it starting the day before the election, and as I watched the horrific returns, I took comfort in watching the Crown. Like wrapping up in a thick down blanket and being told a wonderful fairy story about a ruler who cares about correct governance...

Oooooooh my god these people with their essential oils... I have a business making organic soaps and bath/shower goodies, and plastic-free personal care goods... I buy eo’s in bulk, eo soap is my bread and butter. I handle a lot of it.

10/10, would watch.

No, I’m there with you.

I grew up on a farm and homo animal behaviour is pretty normal.. the dogs and pigs especially.

Omg I need that thank you for making me aware of its existence!

It screwed me up for a long time. But I have a solid support system, and silly as it sounds, the love of my friends and family helped me heal over time. And also Jezebel. When I started reading Jez, I didn’t even know the term “slut shaming,” but I’d sure as hell felt it and felt the wrongness of it. Even knowing how…

Yaaaaas Captain Pedantic. They meant that to have it prosecuted would be next to impossible/the Defense attorney would tear what was left to me to shreds. But sure. Here’s your cookie.

And yet, they do exactly that in rape trials....

It’s more common than you’d think for police to not prosecute rapes without super solid, airtight evidence. They basically need the proverbial smoking cock and reputable witnesses and a confession helps. When I was raped ten years ago by a friend ( similar category as these rapes, that is, I wasn’t raped by a scary…

I was you. Then I accidentally got pg. I cried when they told me it was a girl. I’ve spent countless hours since then planning out how to equip her for this world, and teaching her things she’ll need. We’re starting martial arts together soon (she’s 9). It’s a tightrope walk between trying to preserve her faith in…

Heh. I get it now. Your projection of an emotion I don’t even remotely feel is telling. I do hope theyre white when I hear this shit and I’m not sorry, either. I’m also having a delightful morning sipping tea and reading internets, I’m quite happy I assure you. Take your “sweeties” and your weird concern-troll…

I’m allowed to have opinions and emotions and express them. Kinda like how you’re allowed to be a dick-mouthed troll.

Well, I do worry about the vics and their families...

I experienced exactly this with my last boss, who was female. We weren’t in showbusiness exactly, more a creative field with sales and show business as part of the whole thing. It was the worst. I’d considered her a mentor, then I became her assistant. I also think my old boss might be bipolar. But I’m not the sort of…

You wore it better

I’m white and I do. I always hope they’re white. Sigh.

I know. I had to let that go or I’d drive myself crazy.

I printed out your story (and a few dozen others from the internet) and plastered them around my house as part of Halloween Party decor. Everyone loved it /was terrified.
