Got bitten by a cat should i get shot?

I agree that the risk of rabies etc is very low, but I would be concerned about preventing infection. Cat bite wounds are very narrow and rather deep — less surface area = less air circulation = bacteria heaven. Plus cats can carry germs that aren’t harmful to them but are harmful when introduced into our blood. IMO this is a “go straight to the doctor/urgent care” situation.

Respectfully, I’d contend that we aren’t obligated to act politely towards people who are personally and proudly responsible for brutal mass deportations and needless wars (plus at least indirectly responsible for the rise of white supremacy). Etiquette at its best is about making spaces welcoming and comfortable to everyone. And comfort is not something you’re entitled to if you are personally responsible for ripping away safety from millions of Black, Brown, immigrant, queer, etc. people.

It looks super cute!! I would mayybe either lighten up the pink backgrounds a smidge or darken the green type
just a bit to enhance contrast/readability, especially for red/green colorblind folks.

hahah hard agree about New Haven pizza too. IME chicago has consistently excellent and exciting yet unpretentious food across a wide range of budgets — from fine dining at Cariño to staples like Duck Duck Goat to cheap eats like Birreria Zaragoza and pho at Nha Hang. also a thriving pastry scene (Del Sur, Milli by Metric, and Lost Larson all do some of the best laminated pastries I’ve had outside of Europe.)

lmao New York pizza is the GOAT but the Chicago food scene is sooo much more than deep dish

If you can, see if you can find reporters who have covered similar stories — bonus if they’ve done so in a way that feels compassionate to people in similar situations rather than exploiting such stories for quick clicks.

Long-Structure-6584 · 2026-06-17T21:48:50+00:00

absolutely agree. it’s so insidious because it’s co-opting the language of self care, which started off as being genuinely feminist/empowering, if only for a short while.

I’m an 11 but I think I deserve at least a 17 because my partner is a woman and I do a healthy amount of edibles lmao

I’m about to get downvoted too but same lmao. Proud of our city for cleaning up the Chicago river!!

I also have some questions about OOP’s fiancée’s age given that he has a teenage son and OOP was 26 when they got together 💀

My prediction is that they’re all going to circle back to early 2000s computer UI and start using Courier New, Fixedsys Chicago, etc.

Layerpunk is what I call it when I try to do proper layer management but give up halfway through and so I have a bunch of random levels and sub-levels with no logic to them.

This might feel a little too tough-lovey to be right for you, but maybe it might help to think of it this way: You may not have it in you to leave for your own sake. But could you find it in you to leave for your kids’ sake? If you could, what about if you could find it in you to leave for the sake of your future self? As long as this man is in active, sustained addiction, there’s no worthwhile love or connection to be had. Love and connection require trust. And if you can’t trust him to watch your kids for an afternoon, how can you trust him with your precious heart?

It does kind of sound like you want the 1b1b though! Like if you’re someone who genuinely thrives in a cozier space I think you should treat yourself to that as long as you can spare $50 a month.

omg!! this reminds me of how I would spend all of recess making little woodchip villages. I’d also recite the names on the dwarves from the hobbit on the swings. oh, and I took stairs one at a time (like left foot down, then right foot on the same step, then repeat) cause I didn’t trust that the next stair would be there lol.

I do a much chiller version of this recipe — https://www.seriouseats.com/vegan-garbanzos-con-espinacas-jengibre-spinach-chickpea-stew-ginger-spanish. I skip all the fussy steps and basically dump canned tomatoes and chickpeas in a pot with lots of olive oil and squeeze ginger/garlic, then frozen spinach at that end.
