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.

It's pretty niche and it's not "a little more"..more like double...but as an equestrian I will always go big name for a saddle. Spent too many years compromising and there is SUCH a significant difference that I will never go sub $2000 for a new saddle.

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.

It is making me miss the communities I used to follow on Reddit that don't (yet?) Exist here. But it is a comfortable way to get my distraction scrolling in.

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.

I will take a hotel for it's convenience, service, and predictability any day.

Beds are comfy 99% of the time, there's an ice machine, and my god I'll take any opportunity for room service/being waited on.

My old person trait is that I write primarily in cursive and prefer it.

Really loving this show.

Long time King reader and trying to check all his works off the list eventually, but I have been veering away lately for some lighter reads. I always seem to get called back, though.

Picked up Rose Madder and I had no idea what it was about. I'm about halfway through, and while it's SO different than what I expected, I am equally horrified and have such a sense of dread.

There is no other author I've read that elicits such a visceral reaction from me and leaves me feeling so uncomfy in a good way.

I recently read 1408 and it was my favorite story in a long time. Rose Madder definitely gives me similar vibes.

I love my Kobo! I'm a big night reader and I hate book lights... My Kobo has made it so convenient and I have access to sooo many books. Libby lets me take advantage of my library membership, too!
