In order to understand the ways in which mortal creatures need protecting, guardian angels were made with the capacity for human emotion.

They're very rambunctious and cheerful, sticking together in groups. However every now and then they tend to go off alone for a small period of time. The older angels don't understand why they keep weeping, but how could they ever understand a child's desire for a mother's embrace

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

Indoor Cats: Catios

Catios for the Cat Enrichment Masterpost

A catio (cat patio) is a contained space outdoors that allows a cat to experience being “outside” without the threat of being harmed by bigger wildlife, other pets, humans, vehicles, or being exposed to toxic substances or disease (mostly). It also prevents them from killing (most) wildlife, unless it manages to get into the enclosure.

Catios range from very small window units:

And they don’t need to be super expensive or store bought or involve a ton of wood. This person made theirs with a little bit of PVC, some chicken wire, and a piece of carpet.

To more elaborate, expansive enclosures:

Here’s one that apparently expanded little by little, and looks amazing!

I’ve even been told that folks with smaller, fenced backyards have just netted the top with cat or other similarly tough netting and then can safely allow their cat into their entire backyard without fear the cat will wander to get into trouble. With the netting, it’s also difficult for wildlife to get in to where the cat can access and kill them.

If you happen to be someplace where you cannot modify the exterior of your living space or use a window unit, there are still catio-like options that are more temporary or mobile.

For example, cat tents!

Some people have taken creative liberties with tents and tunnels:

There are also slightly sturdier structures, like playpens:

And stand-alone catios that aren’t attached to anything, sort of like a little chicken coop or a kennel that can go outside but still be moved:

All of these options allow your cat to experience a little bit of the outdoors safely. They will be able to feel the sun on their fur, hear all the sounds, see all the sights, and smell all the smells. The bare-bottom ones can also provide lounging time on natural ground, good for lots of rolling in the grass or dirt. All without endangering your cat or wildlife in your area!

Sometimes it is your fault.. Sometimes you don’t listen well enough, you’re selfish, you’re rude and you aren’t always right. Sometimes you fucked it up and tbh that’s okay. It happens, learn from it, apologize and keep it moving. Just because you fucked up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Don’t dwell on it

i found this website and went down a deep rabbit hole reading random articles, i want to share it with someone. i'm not sure how well known it might be. it's something between a wiki and a blog, full of short but super informative articles on cartoon and comic properties from across the 20th century. there's lots of stuff in here i'd never heard of, and even the ones i had heard of had info in their articles that i didn't know.

sadly it seems that the website's author passed away in 2012, according to an article i found on his friend's blog. the website itself stopped updating in 2011, and its articles go back to 1999, when the earliest version of the site was established. the author has done a lot of other work related to animation and comics history which i'd like to look into. if you're curious, i found the site by looking up hoppity hooper, which i got onto by looking up scans of old cereal boxes.

Super soap drama story concept with hylia and demise being ex lovers. Demise seducing Hylia to get close to those damn triangles and they both catch feelings. The goddesses FORBID their relationship so they have to hide everything. They secretly have twins, Fi and Ghirahim. Demise gets impatient and pissy over something and demands the triforce, revealing his true intentions, GASP. They each take a child in the divorce. Hylia cant actually bear to kill him, dragging out the war. She gets a new cute boyfriend (Link ofc) and Demise hates that little fucker.

Sunk into the zelda/ganondorf/link ship up to my ears like quicksand, its the funniest ship to me. What if they fell in love. I love enemies to lovers. Demise is rolling in his grave over it. Hylia is laughing somewhere. Ganondorf is so lonely it makes him look stupid. Link and Zelda both went 'i can fix him. For the betterment of hyrule. No other reasons, totally.'

This probably makes things worse. This will definitely make things worse.

Dear intern, dear intern!! Could you tell us more about where you work, or the game about your coworker? I’m sure a lot of people are very interested!

Of course! I can't say too much yet, but I can say that the Truth Scrappers guild is a lovely place, it's just my boss who's mean.

I've never met Sosotte myself, but she is very famous in the guild. I haven't been here long enough to know why, though... Maybe because she's been working here for a long time?

Sorry for not knowing more 😥🙇‍♀️💦 Please look forward to more news!

[goofusfurball]
