I had a friend like this. He offered to go to Thailand with me and my daughter for two weeks and it broke him. (Of at least this fixation.)
There is no way to keep up the habit, everything is dirty and it ends up being fine. By the time he got home the impulse just wasn’t there.
I have a spray bottle of water marked “CAT CONTROL - WATER ONLY” in permanent marker set to spray long range. I keep it on the floor next to the bed and would spray them if they did this. Now I only have to grab the bottle and shake it and they scatter.
Awww this is so cute! Which lamp is it?
I’m so sorry you had to see that.
Aww, you are a kind and good person, and I’m glad that you’re in this world with me.
Absolutely, it is such hard work. Way harder than raising a human baby in the beginning, they need to be fed every 2-3 hours at first, round the clock. I’m glad your bottle baby made it, and proud of you for handling it! ❤️
Hey there, I have rescued and bottle fed kittens for quite a few years, and it is really hard and gruelling work. I am so proud of you and pleased that there are people like you in this world.
I do believe your story and I will be donating, also I am happy to answer any questions about kittens if you ever have any.
One thing you could try that has helped me in the past, is to contact larger local rescues when you find kittens and ask them not to take the kittens, but if they can help with spay and neuter costs and adoption connections. These rescues have deals with local vets and can often get a few kittens in, if it means someone else is taking care of them.
Over the years I have always been able to get the cost of neutering the kittens covered after calling everyone, though not always the mothers.
Also remember that those kittens can get pregnant as early as four months old, so they need to be separated from each other until you can get them all fixed.
Oh, ew
Oooh, tell me about aspic?
We love you!
Warning, doing this will cause a small burn, it will scab over and fall off in a few days. I have done it with a skin tag remover from the chemist, it works.
My husband wears a 6E. I highly recommend wide load boots, which are the only safety boots we have heard of that actually got a safety toe certified above 2E. Many brands claim to have 4-6E, but use the same 2E toe.
They came out with a line of casual boots last year and they are great, he wears them every day in the tropics, and last winter wore them for a month in snow, and they still look good as new.
Yes, when I was a kid in school in the 90s we learned logo and qbasic.

Logo uses a little turtle to draw, it was a blast!
I think you need to take your meds.
Not that long ago, after the first big exodus from Reddit to Lemmy, there was a group that decided to mess with Lemmy any way they could.
They spent weeks DDoS-ing it and when that failed to get a reaction there were sudden posts of extreme gore and very explicit child pornography across the front page.
Free speech is nice in theory, but for true anarchist style freedom of speech to exist we would have to tolerate the intolerable.
Yeah that’s what’s so shocking about it, these bags would be $5 only a few years ago. And I remember how painfully impoverished large swaths of the country were then.
I cannot imagine how the average American in the Midwest is surviving at the moment.
This, for the person doing the binding, there should be constant focus and attention as binding in the wrong way can cause nerve damage.
It’s… Less sexy and more… Satisfaction with creating art, especially of turning your property (sub) into art - amplifying their objectification.
This type of bondage is called shibari, and it’s different in the way you described. Regular bondage is about restricted movement, maybe cuffs or topless around wrists and ankles.
Shibari is a Japanese form of rope bondage, it is a very slow and methodical approach, where the person being bound must (generally) submit quietly the whole time it’s being done.
The aesthetics of the binding are important, it should look good, and also should work with the mechanics of the body.
It can be used as a pleasant and beautiful decoration on top of clothing, as here, or can use the mechanics of the body to bind in such a way that the body’s own movements cause stress.
I highly recommend Lenovo. They make laptops that are sturdy, upgradable, and some even support Linux. Right now I have the Legion Slim 5 and I liked it so much I got one for my daughter.
No. I feel it is my duty to pay attention. To read the articles, to look at the faces of the murdered. Otherwise it’s like their misery was for nothing.
