My partner used to work for a secular hospital that was bought by a Catholic hospital; he was semi-out at work as bisexual and poly, and he was very, very concerned that the new anti-discrimination language of the Catholic hospital might mean he could be fired. It turned out not to be the case, because our state has a…

Also, my mother is crying right now. She doesn’t know why, but she is crying because her daughter has defended doctors. (She was a nurse prior to retirement; she has strong feelings on doctors.)

I’m actually going to correct you on that, and I apologise if this sounds harsh. My partner was working for a secular hospital that was bought by a Catholic hospital, and the doctors at the secular hospital were required to no longer perform abortions or (iirc, it was a few busy months ago and he no longer works…

Agree. To shift this to another angle, I’m white and I don’t feel like I need to advocate for white people; we seem to be doing just fine in terms of power. I do try to advocate for what is right regardless of whether it is “my” identity or not. However, I’m poly and I have a LOT of LGBTQIA friends; because I am not…

Wait, so I guess the only people who ever illegally cross a border are brown? And depending on what this woman’s career is, that website is probably a little tiny bit of a problem for employers. Honestly, can we Kickstart something for her to be able to sue Canada and the US (I guess their law-enforcement arms?) for…

Yes, thank you, I’m sure if I didn’t actually clarify that yes, false accusations do happen, we would all think they never do.

Everyone knows pretty ladies love compliments. It’s sexless terrorist bitches who don’t.

Hey, do you suppose if either Mandy Moore or Gwyneth Paltrow is physically assaulted or murdered by these stalkers, we’ll have definite evidence that the stalkers were, in fact, stalking them? I bet millions of women file fake stalking claims all the fucking time, honestly. It’s right up there with false rape…

Apollo disapproves of wet food - it’s the only reason he is not a balloon weighing 50 lbs, because it’s what I feed my other cat who has problems eating dry food. But I would take some way of reducing Apollo’s weight by 10%; he could stand to lose two pounds. If nothing else, I might live longer, without quite so much…

DAT NOSE, I MUST BOOP IT.

May I have two?

Heh. My dry-food-only cat has a coat so sleek everyone comments on it, but the cat on mostly-wet has a better coat than he used to, is the best I can say about it. However, he’s also about 12 years older than the other cat, and he clearly has many other problems I just can’t afford to take care of (like, he sheds like…

I have a dark-green carpet; it was very startling the first time I saw this huge-ass white eyebrow whisker on it. And he looks like such an idiot while it grows out. It grows out, grows out, it’s gray, gray, and boom! it’s white. I would imagine it’s very striking on a dark grey cat - very dapper.

Today he does not feel like posing and showing everyone how magnificent he is, but I got a hilarious shot of his eyebrow whisker, so there’s that. :) This is Apollo, Lord Merp of Derp.

My kitty is almost a doppelganger for yours! Mine has longer socks in back, and a cummerbund, but it looks like Poindexter has the same trailing white patch going from his mouth to his throat that Apollo has. We tell people it’s his dueling scar from his time at Heidelberg.

Stubby ears! She looks very like my fat cat - I love white whiskers on tuxedo kitties. He, however, looks like a loon because he has one white eyebrow whisker. ONLY ONE.

Your cat is fully charged and ready to fire!

Trust me, it does adapt to not washing. I have a friend who has (when she washes her hair regularly) fairly oily hair. She went shampooing-free for testing a theory about historical haircare and also because it might help her hair be less oily, which worked. She went slowly, but I think she eventually got up to…

Different noises. I grew up less than five miles from an airport; when I moved away for college, I kept waking up at 4 am or thereabouts. It took a week to realize that my subconscious was registering the lack of the expected noise of the airport starting up. Also, I cannot sleep in the country for shit, but I can…

Mmm, haven’t tried it personally, but I do know someone who decided to stop washing her hair daily and it adapted to that; no one can tell. I assume the writer isn’t going for a daily run or working as a ditch-digger, because yeah, stale sweat would be a giveaway; a light scrub isn’t going to remove that to modern…
