  • The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.

    These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.

    You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.









  • I know a single data point is pretty worthless. But here is our most recent experience.

    When we suddenly lost one of our 5 year old brother cats, the one who was still with us got lethargic and very obviously wasn’t himself. We waited about 2 months then brought two rescue kittens home about a week apart, and did a fairly relaxed intro for each before bringing in the next.

    He hissed at both of them for the first 5 minutes when physical contact was allowed but otherwise he left them alone for a few days each.

    Within a week they were sleeping together. Now they can often all three be found in a big furpile licking each other and he is back to his playful self. We considered not getting another friend for him. But we are so very happy we did.

    Cat Tax: Batman (The older brother) is on the bottom left, Eddie Vedder Allen Poe is the one sitting up, and Skeeter can be seen squinting on the right as she always does when she is in her happy place.

    For me it is the wholesale - “Everyone can do this, it is a moral failing on your part that you aren’t already vegan” that irks me.

    I have a combination of diseases that mean I could never go vegan, but every single time I have interacted with a vegan online they take the stance that I am lying/wrong and just justifying my choices. Well - My choice is to not die of malnutrition while being tied to a toilet 24/7.

    Like yes, random internet vegan - You certainly know my dietary needs better than my doctor and I do…
