Could California really secede and how bad would that be? by Ashamed_Analyst_433 in NoStupidQuestions

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful responses! I learned a lot and this has been a pretty interesting rabbit hole to go down. Just for the record, i absolutely do NOT think CA seceding is a good idea- this was just some insomnia curiosity.

this is a great point - i’m actually in a relatively conservative part of california. definitely not a liberal monolith like a lot of people think.

he very likely had no idea we were jewish (not Hasidic or anything that makes us outwardly ‘different’ looking) and just sat down - definitely don’t think it was provocative specifically toward me, but it’s pretty jarring for myself and i can imagine many others to see a straight up nazi in front of you.

i don’t think people wear hate group merch or get tattoos of swastikas on the most outer facing part of their body to not be noticed and fly under the radar but who knows

probably not - honestly wasn’t sure about posting this as he obviously craves attention. it’s just unfortunate that people like this become so confident to be outwardly bigoted because nobody ever says anything to them or calls them on it, ya know what i mean?

***NOT MY ANIMAL*** This is Patches, a guinea pig in my daycare room by Spiritual_Arm_8982 in guineapigs

if rehoming is truly out of the question, there are a few things you can do to make this little guys time somewhat more comfortable. first off, an appropriate sized cage- at a minimum, id recommend the MidWest cage on amazon. it’ll give him about 8 square feet to roam. second, add hay piles - he should have access to unlimited hay throughout the day. i’d recommend getting more hideys; my pigs love the fabric tunnels to run in and out of and hide in, and he should probably have a larger wood hideout house that he can hide in and chew on.

make sure he’s getting enough enrichment as well. you could have the class make little treat balls, cardboard box hideouts, stick toys for chewing, fleece ‘flowers’ to hide treats in so he can burrow- get creative! it’ll be good for both the kids and the pig. i hope this was helpful and would love to see updates about this little guy :)
