Take my advice with a grain of salt, I have a very polarizing style or so I’ve been told but fuck the haters.

If you are able to get two, something you feel cute in and something you feel conservative/comfortable in. There’s no shame in getting to where you are going and feeling over exposed and having the option to change into something with a little more shielding so to speak is a life saver. Conversely you might not have been feeling that confident when you left but once you arrive you get that surge and you have the option of feeling cuter, options are never a bad a thing. A cover up is amazing, either a waist down or shoulders down are great to have.

Plan on getting your hair wet if you’re going in the water, unless you get a swimming cap but they aren’t very flattering. As for how to manage it, the tightest bun you know and like. Tightest at the top of your head (the crown) and looser as your work your way to the base (the nape). There’s great tutorials on YouTube but I’m on a very stringent boycott so someone else will have input on that.

Rowena is not food motivated at all, until recently we couldn’t get her to accept treats. She will also let you know she’s had enough by walking away, she eats way less treats than you think would be enough to satiate. On the other hand she’s crazy about catnip, she will employ the glare if she doesn’t think you’ve given her enough.

Colby Jack is crazy food motivated. We’ve taught him to spin in place for wet food and are working on doing it by command. He will also lead you to the treats. He likes to plop right in front of you and show belly, then when you reach down to pet him he gets up and walks towards the treat cupboard.

I’m sure you could get cats to do all sorts of things with a little patience and a heckin’ lot of catnip and treats.

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed.

If it works for you I won’t dissuade. But hiding away from shit don’t do nothing about the smell.

Just a little pot nothing any stronger, this is just my normal unhinged self.

What absolutely gobsmacking value must an unaltered human being possess that tremendous amounts of resources are allocated all over the world to stop people from changing who or what they are?

It’s your body you should be able to choose what to do with it. If in 30 or 40 years we come to find out that it causes irreparable damage and shortened lifespan. It’s earned. If that time until an untimely death is the best life lived then that was well earned too. I’m willing to bet it will be worth it to someone who so desires it. But it should be every individuals choice to do so, and do so freely.

This problem will only continue to compound as medical technology advances. People changing gender identity or their sex is only the tip of the iceberg, given the chance someone out there will try change something about themselves that asks the question of whether or not they are still human. Maybe not in my lifetime but someone born today might have to face such a problem. Based on the lessons we will hand down, well you can plainly see about how that is likely to go down.

We already know who cares so much that people conform to gender norms, are deprived access to reproductive healthcare and autonomy, and also forced to do so in abject poverty. The burning question is why? What ends justify these means?

Seriously, someone make it make sense. What math do I need to learn to be able to understand why you are not able to do as you please with your own life and body? How does anyone else still have a say what is or isn’t in your pants and how is it to their benefit?

It’s an irony then for how much value is placed on genitalia that the rest of the person is only worth at most whatever minimum wage is the standard in your area or occupation.

Rough. Here’s to wishing you a speedy recovery and joy in your life.

This graphic is misleading as it fails to mention that these smaller nations like the Philippines are contracted by much larger nations to dispose of their waste.

I imagine it would be like owning all the watermelons in the world. Life would be grand until one day you find out there’s a cheaper and more delicious fruit that would grow anywhere there’s is land for it. Sure you could use your watermelon money to convert the entire business over to this new marvel but wouldn’t it just be easier to use your massive funds to suppress and destroy this new dangerous fruit until the world forgets about it? Besides you’ve already invested heavily in watermelons, it would just be bad business sense to let them go to waste. You might as well cash all your stock out before the inevitable collapse in the market for them. One could never keep the truth suppressed for long but might as well make as money as you can before the cat’s out of the bag.
