  • I disagree with the way that the actress is responding - ie. Bewilderment as to why they would even find it to be an issue in the first place (thinking in a historical context, it obviously could be problematic).

    However, it seems the actress was coming at it from a respectful point of view in the first place, had done her research, and did not intend to do any of the problematic things associated (eg. Blackface or an “accent”), so the library probably shouldn’t have had an issue with it.

    Though I disagree with the library’s decision, I still stand with them that they can cancel whatever they want if they don’t want it shown at their establishment. You can’t force establishments to hold things.










  • I wish this upset me more than it does but my cat literally wakes me up by shoving her paw in my mouth every morning and while it is disgusting and I know it is disgusting, there’s not that much I can do about it so I just live.

    Doesn’t mean I’d feed someone else cat shit pie though.

    Bonus disgusting fun fact, I had an old cat piss on a cake and I fully ate some of it before I realized. I’m full of toxoplasmosis.


  • Cat deaths by cause 2017 Outdoor cats (house pets as well as feral cats) are by far the largest cause of human-related mortality in North American birds. Link

    Not to mention the average lifespan of an indoor cat is 3x longer than that of an outdoor cat.

    Free roaming outdoor cats are more likely to be hit by cars, have health complications, be attacked by wildlife, or be harmed by humans.

    Don’t let your cats free roam outside. Domestic cats are pets and they deserve love and warmth and safe playtime.




  • They’re actually trying to make it even harder for migrants and refugees with the introduction of Bill C-2, while pandering to the US.

    Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain “elements that will strengthen the relationship” between Canada and the U.S.

    “There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues,” he said. “But it’s not exclusively about the United States.” CBC

    It’s a bill to not only make seeking refugee status more difficult, but also remove privacy protections for all canadians.

    During a technical briefing for reporters, a senior government official said that the changes were meant to improve police and intelligence agencies’ ability to apply for warrants to collect digital evidence following a series of court rulings that significantly hampered it. Article content

    It would also increase the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) ability to search containers exiting the country by obligating transporters and warehouse operators to provide site access to border agents for export inspections. National post (I know…)

    There’s lots of migrants rights groups speaking out against the bill: e.g. Migrants Rights Network
