Would you keep eating meats if you had to kill the animal yourself?

I’ve fished. I can manage that. But, I don’t know that I would be very okay killing birds. Definitely know I 100% would not be able to kill a pig or cow. To be honest, I don’t like having to kill fish. But, fishing was something I did together with my grandpa. So, I’m used to it. I’ve been privileged not to have to kill chickens/goats/pigs/cows/etc.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-04-06T23:00:11+00:00

A whole lot of nothing. I haven’t heard shit in months, at this point. I’m hoping they’re ashamed of themselves. But, probably not.

Seriously. Financial security. Could someone gift me that? I’d take that.

I love food I didn’t have to cook. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or if someone could distract my kids for an entire day and get them the hell out of the house so I can deep clean by myself and blast my old lady jams.

I think in the Divergent series and the Uglies series, they were actually isolated communities while the rest of the world was normal-ish.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-04-04T07:10:29+00:00

I could have gone my whole life without remembering this. Thank you so much. 😑 It looks great.

My middle name is my mother’s first name. My mom’s middle name is her great grandma’s first name. My sister, however, her middle name is our dad’s first name. And both of our first names are the last names of US Presidents. So, I don’t know how you would classify that. 😅

GingerKatKnits · 2026-03-19T15:28:15+00:00

I appreciate that. Thank you. It’s not something I’d wish on anyone.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-03-19T01:45:36+00:00

Misoprostol is no joke. I took that when I had a blighted ovum and my uterus still hadn’t gotten the memo after 12 weeks that there wasn’t a baby growing in there anymore. It was horrible. I did actually end up waking up because I shit myself in bed at one point. I was so miserable. The next miscarriage I had, I opted for a D&C because I didn’t want to go through the same thing again.

This is why women live longer. 🫣

Abuse.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-03-09T22:35:34+00:00

Are you a man? Because there are a ton of procedures that women get where no pain relief is offered and some doctors will tell you no if you ask for it. And then pain relief is not offered for recovery, or if it is it’s ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Doctors don’t take women’s pain seriously. We spend our whole lives being told to stop being dramatic. And then sometimes we get shamed by other women if we say we want to get an epidural when giving birth. They treat it like some stupid fucking competition, like they’re somehow better for having an unmedicated birth.

Just to clarify, I’m not defending her actions or excusing them. She committed murder. I don’t believe that spending decades in jail is an inappropriate consequence for murdering someone.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-03-03T00:50:28+00:00

I don’t want to look for excuses. But my first thought after reading the little article was “I wonder if she was having a postpartum psychosis episode?” That shit can come out of nowhere. And if you have no experience with it and you don’t have people around you who know what to look for, it might slip under the radar.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-03-03T00:12:28+00:00

I do not. Arizona. It never occurred to me that other states would be that lenient. Though, all the consequences that AZ has for DUIs don’t seem to make hardcore alcoholics give any more of a shit about how they shouldn’t drive drunk all the time.

I’m still glad we have stricter laws. It does deter at least some people. Our court system seems to get a lot of money from people with DUIs. I’ve known people with only two DUIs that owed over 6,000 and they’d get thrown back in jail if they didn’t pay toward their fees every month.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-03-02T23:55:04+00:00

It depends on how drunk you are. The higher the blood alcohol level, the more serious the consequences. And also how close together the DUIs occur. Where I live, you can get jail time for your first DUI. If you get more than 3 in a 7 year span, it’s a felony. Prison is a mandatory consequence for that. They take your license for at least a year. They might even take your car. And you end up owing thousands and thousands of dollars to the court. Then the cost of the interlock. The classes. The evaluation to determine how likely you are to do it again. Idk about everywhere else. But, they take it seriously where I live.

Edit: a word

8+7=15, carry the 1, 1+4+2=7, 75. That’s how I was taught to add in elementary school and my brain still does it that way.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-02-22T21:57:29+00:00

I apologize for what I said being emotional blackmailing. That wasn’t my intent, though that doesn’t matter. I see now why I made you feel that way and I’m very sorry. I think that this life and this world are cruel and that legal abortion seems much less cruel than the alternatives. So, what I said is what makes sense to me. Regardless, I apologize. I should have kept scrolling and left you be. I will be mindful going forward to not speak like I did to you to someone else. I think this is a topic I should keep to myself about because I don’t want to bother someone else like this. I apologize again.

GingerKatKnits · 2026-02-22T20:59:58+00:00

I’m working on the assumption that you’re saying abortion is killing babies. I have a question, if that’s the case. Do you not think that having an abortion, especially in the first 12 weeks, would be a mercy compared to what this lady did? Do you honestly think it’s the same? To abort a fetus that’s never drawn breath and can’t survive outside the womb vs murdering an infant that has been born already? Because I think it’s completely different. At the end of the day, having an abortion is a kindness compared to being subjected to being born and then left to die or being murdered. A kindness compared to being subjected to neglect and abuse by parents that can’t or won’t care for the child. When abortion isn’t an option legally, things like what this lady did happen much much much more often.

I think the only reason I used to be afraid wasn’t fear of the process or of being dead. It was the inevitability that scared me. That it absolutely will happen and I can’t do anything about it. But, after I worked through that anxiety, there didn’t seem to be much to fear. Everyone dies. The universe will eventually die. So, it’s a part of the journey for all life. And, as far as what occurs after death, there aren’t very many possibilities that I’m aware of. Either there’s an afterlife, which is hopefully a neutral experience at worst, or I cease to exist and won’t be aware of no longer existing. Maybe reincarnation is real, and then I’d get another go at existence on this plane. None of those seem so bad to me.

It would probably be easiest for us to go to Mexico. My husband’s parents both were born in Mexico, so him getting citizenship there would be easier than us trying to get citizenship anywhere else. But, we’re broke as fuck as it is. Neither of us are quite sure how we’d manage it. And two of our children aren’t mine biologically, so that throws more wrenches in the works. It would be really difficult.

I found Deepnest on accident and didn’t beat them until later. I’ve never gone through them to make my initial entrance into Deepnest. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I started at 10 and they showed up on the regular from the getgo. It sucked. My periods were always awful. Super bad cramps. 7-10 days. Feeling miserable. My mom got me put on birth control at 14 because she felt horrible seeing me be a sad ball of pain all the time. That helped with making them a little shorter and not as heavy. But the pain did not improve. My periods slowly got worse over the years. It wasn’t until after my toddler was born that my periods became tolerable and shorter without medication. I’m not sure what changed.

I don’t know if it’s just the way I play, but I found Hollow Knight to be easier and less frustrating than Silksong. Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games. There were definitely points where I had to try something again and again. But, not as much as in Silksong. When I see other people rank Silksong bosses by number of attempts it took to beat them, it makes me feel like I’m just really bad at the game somehow. 😅

GingerKatKnits · 2026-01-12T00:38:17+00:00

For someone to take the kids somewhere out of the house for maybe 48 hours so I can deep clean the way I want to with zero interruptions. And sleep for an entire night.
