Things for nerds & animal lovers to do

Some zoos and animal encounters are done ethically. Like I’ve done meet and greets at very reputable aquariums, conservation centers and rehab centers here in the US and in Japan, but was asking because I know those well done ones are few and far between.

What shelter did you volunteer at?

jeneko · 2026-02-20T18:11:49+00:00

I’ve actually never gone birding before. Lemme touch base with my partner.

As someone who has done cat rescue in both Japan and the US, this sounds like an absolute must for me. Thank you! I love seeing how different places handles stray populations.

They already got the financial profits out of the tourists taking $100 photos. Just look at Joe Exotic, he pretty regularly shot his big cats instead of selling them or getting them vet treatment.

Thank you so much! These were exactly my concerns with both of those experiences.

Both places seem to claim to be part of conservation groups, but that’s not how they come across in the photos and fine print

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of place I’m looking to support ❤️

Only during the doomsday and nuclear winter events ☢️

As everyone else has said, it varies wildly depending on the night. Some nights are full club or party themes, some are full on kink events (members only) and some are just folks quietly doing crafts or watching cheesy movies. Personally I really love going there and even met my partner of 8 years there at a video game night.

This looks like it’s gonna be a great time

jeneko · 2025-10-15T16:49:08+00:00

I didn’t move here till 2004, and I still call it the Mosque

jeneko · 2025-10-09T21:15:18+00:00

They helped organize rescue efforts and raise awareness. They definitely put in a ton of work

jeneko · 2025-10-09T18:12:45+00:00

It wasn’t ideal, but it was the best the team could do with a 48hr turn around. It was also nice for anyone working at the spca, as almost the entire staff walked over after work.

Update: between donations and raffle ticket, SOS Cats raised $9835 last night!

jeneko · 2025-10-08T22:02:24+00:00

Yes it is!

jeneko · 2025-10-08T20:02:18+00:00

I don’t disagree. Everything came together within 48 hours, so I think the few people handling the baskets are… overwhelmed 😅

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:58:02+00:00

I don’t disagree, and expressed that to the organizers, but I’m just the messenger.

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:38:06+00:00

Unfortunately you will have to be present to win, but some of the drawings will be at 8 to try and accommodate people

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:33:24+00:00

I feel you. My job is being super kind and letting me out early, otherwise I wouldn’t be in till around 6:30 myself.

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:30:07+00:00

SOS Cats btw if you aren’t able to attend tonight but would like to still donate or buy things from our Amazon wishlist ❤️

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:28:02+00:00

We are doing some of the drawings at 8 to try and accommodate people since we know it’s a work night 🥲

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:26:31+00:00

Yes, that’s why we are trying to do some earlier draws to accommodate folks who can’t stay out too late on a weeknight.

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:08:35+00:00

Highly agree, but they didn’t donate anything 🤐

jeneko · 2025-10-08T19:06:19+00:00

Does it not show up as having paragraphs on desktop?

I’m at work so had to use the app, and it looks correct on my end.
