The smug arrogance of the Victorian and Edwardian eras when the Brits thought they were superior and more civilized than anyone else. They believed they could somehow exert dominance over nature and the world could be come a Utopia under their “benevolent guidance.”

NO I THOUGHT PIG ISLAND WAS A HAPPY PLACE AND I AM RUINED TO HEAR ITS NOT PIG PARADISE.

Nor elephant riding, swimming with dolphins, trophy hunting, fur wearing, etc etc etc. I can go on and on about how humans abuse animals for nothing other than selfish gain.

Seriously, that was heartbreaking to read. I’m going to go hug my cat for a while.

Why. Why did I click on this story. I have zero control and I need to examine my life and choices.

Humans are the worst. What the hell is the matter with people?

Now I’m sad she never got to be a grouchy grandmother. She got better with age and started on a high note. Imagine how awesome she would have been at 80! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

being dumped by carrie fisher seems pretty memorable, no?

A love of LSD, and the correct way of thinking of tiny babies “When they cry they turn red and look like screaming tomatoes”?

Totally agree. I’m tired of feeling like our representatives are a bunch of wolves in sheep’s clothing. They say the right things (yelling at Trump’s dumb nominees) but when it comes down to it, they’re all hypocrites.
