Thanks, I’ll look into it. I’m a bit of both 3A and 3B.

I think you were right to tell them to fuck off.

This part just sank in for me: A FIFTEEN-year-old black lab. Labs don’t usually make it to fifteen. He must have really loved them to stick around and was just waiting for the wedding so he could leave this plane knowing they had gone through with it.

I thought about trying to cover both dogs and cats in this list, but the “most dangerous” are different for each. A counterpart for cats sounds like a good idea!

Throwing Copper is a phenomenal album.

Exactly. If (beyond those very few extenuating circumstances you mention) you cannot make the commitment to live in places that allow your pet, buy the medications your pet needs to be healthy, and keep your pet for the rest of its life... don’t fucking get one. It breaks my heart to see ads on Craigslist every day…

Having had a diabetic fat cat, I swore to not endanger my cats’ health again. When one of my new boys got a little tubby and I got The Talk from the vet about him being fat, the vet suggested a really simple fix: feeding canned food, and giving almost no dry food. I feed my boys canned food—splitting a can four ways,…

Big issue with this lifehacker article (I can’t click through right now to check the source): Obesity and Overweight are not the same. Obesity is defined as 30+ BMI. Talk to many health scientists and they will tell you BMI 24 vs BMI 26 person doesn’t matter that much and there are plenty of other factors at play. But…

Not sure what you’re asking. If you are saying you did high school debate and had well fitting clothes, then you and I are in the same club. But there was a particular brand of forensic competitors who always talked with a squint, waved their arms around like they were trying to summon demons from thin air, and had…

Can we go with average-sized instead? All bodies are normal bodies, unless we’re perhaps talking about medical literature.

I highly doubt these women see it as a waste of time given that no one coerced them into doing this. And who are you to decide what is or isn’t a wasteful life anyway?

Voyager is my favorite series even though I grew up with The Next Generation. Fuck anyone who hates it. It was the series that when I grew up and really started appreciating Star Trek. I would come home from work exhausted and I would turn on my TV and just vegetate on whatever episode it was on. Yeah the crew was…

Ok but if I got famous for some reason probably the LAST people I would want as character witnesses in the public sphere would be the people who knew me in college. And I can’t be the only one

“If you’d just BRUSH your hair more often it would look good!”

This news is trash. This blog is not.

Thing is, the provenance of this diamond goes back centuries, so it’s not at all clear who the “rightful owner” really is. India (nor Pakistan) as such did not exist when it was taken. It was unquestionably plundered as war booty by the East India Company, but they were only the last in a long line. The Koh-i-Noor…

So braid it up and get a fake ponytail, just like the girls with curly team styles or those that do Irish dance have to. My sister has extremely curly hair and flatirons it all the time without issues. If the mom doesn’t want to do that, fine, but that doesn’t mean the coach has to make an exception in a sport that is…

Yeah and her curly hair was fine for practice. It seems like the rules were pretty clear.

(the term is hyperemesis gravidarum; myasthenia gravis is a nerve disorder)

Most shelters also offer personality blurbs about the cat's background and/or observed behavior, which are very helpful in deciding if socially the kitty will be a good fit for your personality and expectations.
