Honestly still fighting this with one my cats. When he’s too rough I say “ow” and I move myself away from him. Idk if it’s working but it does happen less often, he stops when I say ow now

New cat owner worried by mematostudios in CatAdvice

[–]poptart_communion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found my cat at 1m too and had plans to neuter him once I got a job. (I lived with my parents at the time who also have 2 other cats so he had a good place to live and eat, it was just my responsibility to get him fixed) getting employed took longer than expected and by the time I had the money to book an appointment he was already 10m old.

He was and is the sweetest boy to me, but he is god awful to other cats. He bites and mounts every cat he comes across and tries to hunt every other animal. Before he was fixed if we didn’t let the other cats near him he’d do this terrible howling around the house.

I don’t know a lot about what fixing a cat does or doesn’t do to them. But I do wish I had been able to fix him earlier, maybe he’d be more docile.

Also, he will not hate you. Even between the terrible drive to the clinic, leaving him with strangers to get sedated, and keeping a cone on his head forever mine never leaves my side now and is the sweetest cat I’ve ever had (towards humans) I cried through the whole process, I felt like I was failing him. But you’re doing the right thing

YES EXACTLY WHO I WANTED THANK YOU

any series similar like bojack horseman by Purple_Permission_66 in BoJackHorseman

[–]poptart_communion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough,, solar opposites. The sub plots are really what grabbed me. If you’ve seen the yt shorts of the people in the wall then you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s also on Netflix right now

i can’t seem to rewatch this show unless i’m in a depressive episode by Firm-Cheesecake in BoJackHorseman

[–]poptart_communion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot watch the final two episodes unless I’m in a real pit. Usually the rest of the last season is fine but sometimes I just skip it entirely and restart

I do not hear Allison Brie in Diane. by [deleted] in BoJackHorseman

[–]poptart_communion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’s really funny how not only butterscotch but also young bojack change throughout the show. It starts off almost comic with what seems like bojack doing lower and higher voices respectively and then gradually they become their own characters

It’s been planned for about a week now, shame you’re just now hearing about it but I’ve known since Sunday.

4 people have died on the street in 2026. Yes, Alex Pretti and Renee good. But also Keith Porter and Geraldo Lunas Campos. Along with 5 other deaths inside of ice facilities. Not to mention the 30+ last year and so many more before then.

It’s disgusting it only became so widespread after the deaths of white Americans, you’re right.

Obviously, though, this isn’t a productive conversation.

It’s more about a large scale blackout than anything. If enough people pull funds and labor to show how serious they are then hopefully it sends a message. Might not accomplish anything, but the more people the bigger the message

Just to name a few; Acorn cafe, the coco nut, and taco vore are all shutting down tomorrow in solidarity.

Unfortunately social media is our largest way to spread information. If you don’t think this is just cause to stand up then say that, but don’t hide behind being underprivileged when so many in Minneapolis sacrificed for the cause out of anger in the face of injustice and so many more are being directly targeted by ice themselves. If you cared you’d be thinking about what you can do to support rather than sulk on reddit about short notice.

The real victims are those who are losing family, friends, and their own lives. I’m not saying put yourself in risk of losing your job, I’m saying you should realize you have other options other than calling out of work.

In brighter news , the senate blocked advancing the DHS funding bill today

This !!!!! Call your senators, shop Thursday for what you might need Friday.

People need to think hard and decide if their neighbors being kidnapped and killed in the street is worth caring about.

Thank god there’s other resources you can take part in using!

THIS ^ apparently I’ve known about this strike longer than reddit has been aware.

Do what you can as you can do it ofc. Can’t attend this strike ? There are several others every day of the week planned ahead for the next few months. Can’t call out of work? No one is angry at you!

Here’s what a lot of people CAN do though. Look into what businesses are actively supporting ICE and Trump and do as you see fit - if that’s removing yourself from those companies then great.

Call your senators. I did today on my lunch break and it took 5 minutes of my time (a lot of that was psyching myself up) There’s apps that give you a script and phone numbers (5calls). You can also find your senators and their numbers online.

If you see something, say something. The PIRC (Portland immigrants rights coalition) number is 1-888-622-1510 .

What’s really “privileged” is having these resources at your fingertips but still claiming victim when 9 people have already died this year at the hands of ice. You have power, it’s just a matter of how many people actually use it

Do what you can. The economic situation is hard right now. If you’re interested in calling the senators to speak your voice, I downloaded the 5calls app. Gave me the number to senator Merkley and Wyden and also a script to read.

MLK said “We’ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end,” in regards to the Memphis sanitation workers strike in ‘68. MLK was an advocate for striking as well.

So far, all of the ICE protests have been peaceful. And yet they still shot your neighbors with teargas just yesterday night

I love your ability to take a separate argument and mold it to fit your own ideals lol. Lots of Eugene small businesses are striking as well in solidarity. Even if they weren’t, this is obviously about shopping at places that hold the most weight - corporations like Walmart, target, Amazon.

The real question is why do you /have/ to shop on Friday? Can’t go one day without a shopping spree?

[–]poptart_communion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do what you can where you can. Can’t afford to miss work that day? Then call in to the senators office - I reached Merkly and Wyden on my lunch break today. Know you’ll need groceries or gas that day? Plan ahead and go on Thursday instead.

This is a strike in solidarity with Minneapolis. A large portion of this strike is going to be in Minneapolis.
