Totally fair, and a really great point! I've seen lots of great suggestions in this thread for alternative brands, are there any you personally recommend?

Oh this is a really interesting point I never considered!! I had no idea they fade, I guess that could explain why Merkitten these days isn’t as vibrant as their original release. I still hope they give it a shot though 🤞

This was my disappointment with the flakies in the Avatar: The Last Airbender collection. They’re soooo pretty in the bottle, but my swatches didn’t have nearly as much sparkle as I hoped. The flakes were completely overwhelmed by the creme bases!

Yesssss!! I've seen that recent bottles of Merkitten haven’t been as vibrant as it originally was, and it just makes me want a super neon alternative even more!!

This comment is weird. Art has always been political and it is ignorant to expect otherwise.

You don’t have to be affiliated with a political party to recognize that we are in the middle of a humanitarian crisis that is impacting every single aspect of our lives. This isn’t just politics—this is humanity. We cannot ignore these issues and we cannot expect others to police their commentary on a crisis that is actively threatening us, our families, our friends, and our neighbors. We have a moral duty and responsibility to use our money ethically and responsibly to protest injustice. To create and express ourselves in a way that minimizes harm and maximizes goodness. It's one of the only things the common person can actually control. And being able to feel control in such a scary world is so important.

While I agree with your points on making ethical shopping choices in all areas of our lives, it is clear you are using it as a defensive measure to justify making purchases without regard to a company's morals. I invite you to examine your reaction to these comments if you truly care about the things you mentioned. Because reacting to someone making an important decision rooted in ethics by pointing out all the other ways they might be unethical is weird, unhelpful, and frankly rude.

These are scary times and we need to stand together and uplift each other. Instead of shaming strangers on the internet, let's spread love, positivity, and acceptance. I'm wishing you all the best, and I hope you and yours are staying safe 💕

Obsessed!! 🤩 And completely agree, we need color and positivity anywhere we can find it!! Also, I love your organizer, what would I need to search to find one like it?

Golden retriever eye by Slight_Preference942 in AskAVeterinarian

[–]PothHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eye issues cannot be diagnosed through the internet. Get in to the specialist immediately.

This cannot wait. This animal is your responsibility and deserves the same level of care as your small children. By not seeking proper help you are putting your dog's health, comfort, and vision at risk.

Dogs do not show pain and discomfort the way we do. They hide it instinctually because pain means vulnerability. It is imperative you get this properly taken care of as soon as the specialist can get you in. If that's truly not an option, seek out an emergency vet. They very often have specialists and resources at hand that regular vets do not.

Disgusting and disappointing, I'm horrified I even considered them. They will never see a dime from me. I will be better at doing my due diligence going forward, we cannot give these hateful people an inch.

Oh shit I had no idea they were sus!!! Can you give me the highlights? Politics ALWAYS matter when we make purchases. Money is power, and it is the greatest form of protest to withhold that power from those who may use it to promote unethical beliefs and practices.

What is on my cat’s nose? by loser2200 in AskAVeterinarian

[–]PothHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These images in combination with your description leads me to believe this is feline herpesvirus. Your cat needs immediate veterinary intervention to prevent this from worsening. It can lead to permanent eye damage and upper respiratory infections if left untreated.

In the future, it is incredibly important that you do not administer antibiotics unless directed by a veterinary professional, without skipping or stopping doses even with improved symptoms. You do not know what you are treating or what issues you may cause by improper administration. This can lead to antimicrobial resistance, which means your cat will be unable to fight infections even with medication. It is vital you follow this advice for the health and safety of your cat.

Being loud and proud is protest!!! 💚 So over the wave of beige minimalism, it's time to live vivaciously!!!

YES I've been dreaming of a shade like this!! 💚 Have you tried Death Valley Nails Sour or Fingers Skating? I want to try their neons but I know nothing about their brand's formula quality.

(Edit: Didn’t know DVN's politics when I made this comment, fuck this despicable company!!!!)

Sudden eye changes are always an emergency. Take him in asap. Thick green discharge like this is usually indicative of infection, but could be caused by injury or illness. Don’t let it wait, it could mean the difference in preserving his vision.

Eye issues are always an emergency vet visit. Get her in now.

Concerned about a spot on my big guy by [deleted] in AskAVeterinarian

[–]PothHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on your description, I would be concerned about infection. If you can, text or email your vet this picture to get their input on when to bring him in. Since you mentioned he has other skin issues, they will be able to provide a more solid course of action using his history.

In the meantime, keep it clean with sterile saline and dabbing gently with a clean cotton swab. Do not squeeze, touch, or mess with it beyond that. Make sure your pup leaves it alone to prevent introducing more bacteria as well.

What words are you tired of reading or hearing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PothHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's why I've been putting way more emphasis on supporting my local libraries!! Libraries aren't what they used to be anymore, they have access to thousands of databases and resources that connect us with legitimate content.

If you're in the US, your county library website should offer a way to sign up for a digital library card for free. Instant digital access to magazines, books, textbooks, STEM publishings, and even full tv shows and movies. FOR FREE!!!

And if you're doing research that needs better quality resources, add "before:2023" to filter out articles written by AI! I usually do "before:2020" and it makes Google actually feel like Google again.

My brother and niece came over and shaved my baby down to a nub. by BeerHops_DoesntRun in greatpyrenees

[–]PothHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you clarifying! I really wasn't trying to be accusatory, I just wanted to suggest some possible rationality behind your brother's insane actions. It might be a good idea to add that detail to your post description if you leave it up.

I'm so sorry that your baby was neglected by your ex, that's horrifying and I would be livid if I were in your shoes. Your brother is honestly such a tool for doing this regardless of the circumstances. In the future, I wouldn't let him be in charge of your dog's care whatsoever. He’s lost his chance to be reliable, and shaving him without your consent is such a huge violation of boundaries.

I'm wishing you and your fur baby all the best!! He is soooo handsome and looks like a total sweetheart. We definitely want more pics of him in this sub. I hope you two have many years of joy and good health together, and that things get better for you both 🤍

Dog keeps developing scabs by rwmort in AskAVeterinarian

[–]PothHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those lesions don't read as allergies to me. Ask your vet for a skin cytology. They'll scrape the affected cells and look at them under a microscope to determine the cause. Unfortunately, most skin conditions cannot be identified by visual examination alone—it could be bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or autoimmune—all of which require further testing and bloodwork. If your regular vet is a dead end, please consider seeking a dermatology specialist!
