  • I’ve recently encountered a cat rescue that rehomes their feral cats without giving them their rabies vaccines and NOT disclosing this. Ask me how I know and am 11 needles deep…they asked me to lie to public health and maintain that rabies isn’t actually necessary and I wasn’t really put at risk (?!)

    It’s fucking ludicrous and public health barely responded.

    I am all for saving and rehoming ferals but holy hell VACCINATE AGAINST RABIES. The reason it’s not as prevalent is BECAUSE OF THE VACCINES.






  • I showed it to my fiance and while I ADORED the rewatch he was very meh and I was questioning him as a person. Then one day he asked me to watch it again so he could watch Andre the Giant again. And then, I’m convinced, it spoke to him and showed him the magic. He loved it. Quoted it. And will watch it with me when I have it on.

    I really think mindset and willingness to dive into it is a necessity.

    God, what a beautiful movie.

    I just lost my very beloved barn cat to a suspected coyote attack.

    It really sucks. He was a feral cat not deemed suitable for a home and he went from hissing at me for weeks to a total cuddly love…with a wild wall climbing streak.

    He knew love, friendship, a warm bed and a full belly but the guilt I have is all consuming. He lived a great life but man…my barn feels very sad and quiet these days.

    Personal update: I went last night for Foo Fighters and it was horrendous. Worst Bluesfest experience to date and I’ve been attending consistently for what feels like ages.

    The line to get in was big but efficient. Food took 40+ minutes. Bathroom line took 20 mins.

    I hated how/where the stage was set up and the sound was awful where I could finally nab a spot.

    The worst part was the crowd-- everyone seemed oblivious to why they were there (to see a band) and just had exceedingly loud conversations. I couldn’t even hear Dave speak because the crowd talking around me totally drowned him out. Part could be the bad sound also. I mean I don’t expect you to be quiet but why are you in the middle of a crowd yelling “so, where are you from ? Where’d you go to school?” Go to a bar?!

    Maybe I’m just old now but man I was frustrated!



  • While some of it does seem suspect, the blood + hydrogen peroxide is totally legit. It’s actually amazing to watch the stain disappear before your eyes. Very, very useful. And I can’t believe I waited 25 years into my menstruating life to determine this.

    What I would like to know is how to get a tajin stain out of a white tank top. I recently had a margarita with a tajin rim and some got on my shirt… I didn’t think it’d be an issue so I washed and dried my tank and when I pulled it out, it appears to have dyed the fabric and I’m very sad about it.
