...? Are you really talking over this trans woman’s experience to tell her that Jeffrey Tambor is making the world a more accepting place for her to exist? Jeffrey Tambor is a cis white male, he isn’t trans.

Hahaha haven't seen the movie so I didn't get the reference but now I have to

Probably like coaching or sports commentary or something? I don’t see him doing much outside sports

I’m like this too! But I always have that girlfriend who’s like “NO! Do not be the first to text! Make him HUNT you!”

Yep you’re right, that’s what my lawyer said too. But it still scared the crap out of me and involved me getting a lawyer to respond to it and it definitely cost money to do that. In hindsight I could’ve ignored it but with an additional contractual clause allowing them to reclaim the dog for violations made me really…

But I also agree with you that Indians shouldn't be painted with a broad brush as all bad it's just complicated

I’m Indian, and I’m afraid to go to India. This is a serious problem there, for all women- look up eve teasing. I moved to India for two years after college to write for a newspaper and my aunt who I lived with used to very matter of factly explain to me how if I wore my halter dress to the coffee shop in the…

Amazing ! It’s such a rewarding thing to witness them thrive ! My boy was 28 when I got him and 60 now so kind of similar to yours! He’s a big old chunk now haha :)

What a cutie !

So, I asked my lawyer this. Like, if people needed to know how bad these people are for mistreating dogs, then people really need to know they are strong arming people into silence. I actually wanted to leave my original review up and then add an update that “now these people are threatening to sue me and reclaim my…

Oof that’s a tough story, but I totally agree. You get scrutinized so much that by the time you get approved you’re like a desperate chick, you’re so happy you get to be together you don’t ask any questions lol! I was so proud and smug to have passed this “super picky” rescues criteria and interviews and reference…

Aww do you have a sato?? My dog has a couple Sato dog friends who are former Puerto Rican street dogs and they come from an AWESOME rescue (animal lighthouse) and the rescue that they are sent to in New York City is so great, they care a LOT, they do follow ups and organize reunions and meet ups. And these people…

Haha I know I felt like Liam neeson in that movie... I hired a good lawyer and luckily dogs are considered property and the longer that you are in sole possession of property and have spent money improving it (training, health care, toys, shelter) there’s very little the courts can do because legally it’s considered…

Sorry I forgot to add: my dog is a street dog from Thailand. He was pulled off the street by one organization, then sold to another, then put on a plane and flown to New York and sold to a third rescue group who then adopted him to me in near starvation conditions, with mites and mats not to mention crippling anxiety…

I roll my eyes at that word because many self proclaimed “animal rescuers” are like the people whom I got my dog from. They were not the ones who pulled him off the streets, they did not provide him with medical care or even proper food, and they acted merely as a middle man. They purchased the dog from another agency…

Yep, I usually roll my eyes at people saying they “rescued” a dog but, coming from some of these sham rescues, you really are rescuing them from a shitty situation. Your dog is lucky to be home now!

Yep apparently there was an NDA type clause in my contract too but you know how it is when you adopt a dog, you’re so excited, you’ve been scrutinized so much to be “fit” to take the dog, you don't read the contract. It just didn't occur to me and the bargaining power is really imbalanced in those exchanges.

This happened to me after I rescued my dog. For many reasons the rescue was not up to snuff and was not keeping the animals in humane conditions. I wrote a Yelp review detaing our adoption experience and promptly received a legal letter that I was defaming them and causing their business irreparable harm. They also…

I want him to start dating Kendall lol

Oh my gosh this is scary! That tiger grabbed her so quick .... I hope the woman is going to recover...
