It's also the month when well-meaning but misinformed people claim that black cats are adopted for widespread Satanic ritual sacrifices. There is NO evidence that this has ever been a thing. humanepro.org/magazine/art...

Nine years ago we told the Blocks they were going down a bad path. Today they hit the end of the road as the Supreme Court joined a very long list of people who also told them so. Humble appreciation to everyone who worked to hold the Blocks accountable. That family owes us a LOT of money.

My job is to look out for our farmers and work to give them a fair shot. They are being robbed of that opportunity with these high diesel costs because of the President’s war in Iran, and it’s got to end now. captimes.com/news/governm...

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I've gotten stuck in a loop thinking about the things that frightened me as a kid. Anyone remember the old Tootsie Roll commercial? "Whatever it is I think I see / Becomes a Tootsie Roll to me"? With the whale that gets turned into a Tootsie Roll? That.

After Saturday morning cartoons, there were live-action children's movies. I mostly found them boring but there was one about a little boy & his dog who were locked in a room as a punishment & died in a house fire b/c no one let them out, & they were ghosts haunting the protag to make him join them.

There are literally so many peer-reviewed papers on this. This is not opinion this is a biological fact. There are so many cool vegans who still understand that their cats cannot choose to remove themselves from the food chain, eating meat isn’t an ethical choice they can make. Hannah Shaw is one!

If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

A plea to all you wonderful folks who are thinking to adopt (not buy) a dog or cat… The shelters are FILLED with animals who’ve been surrendered. Yesterday they had a bed and a family and now they are confused and terrified through no fault of their own. Consider giving them a next chapter.

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

In photography you really just wanna make sure that the cat is properly exposed. Photo from my collection no info/date.

Black and white photo of a light skinned man wearing a plaid sports coach and watch in a skinny dark colored tie. He is looking down at a long-haired grey kitten that he cradles in his hands. The photo seems to be somewhat under exposed because the man’s skin tone is blown out, but the kitten looks perfect.
