  • “I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to act so that the hate flotilla … does not reach the shores of Gaza – and to take all necessary measures to that end,” Katz said in a statement.

    The Hate flotilla? FUCK EVER LAST ONE OF THESE BLATANTLY LYING MOTHERFUCKERS WITH A PINEAPPLE BACKWARDS!!! I don’t know how but we need to completely end the careers of everyone who tries to twist shit around like this.

    Make Lying Bad Again.









  • I’m in southern Manitoba. Our Air Quality Health Index is forecast to be at 10 (very high risk) through the weekend. Right now it’s hazy but not too bad, as the smoke drifts by us and into the U.S. For those that are also dealing with this…

    From Environment Canada

    Air quality and visibility due to wildfire smoke can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour.

    As smoke levels increase, health risks increase. Limit time outdoors. Consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities and events.

    You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance.

    People more likely to be impacted by outdoor air pollution, including people aged 65 and older, pregnant people, infants and young children, people with an existing illness or chronic health condition, and people who work outdoors, should reduce or reschedule strenuous activities outdoors and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms.

    When indoors, keep windows and doors closed as much as possible. When there is an extreme heat event occurring with poor air quality, prioritize keeping cool.

    Protect your indoor air from wildfire smoke. Actions can include using a clean, good quality air filter in your ventilation system and/or a certified portable air cleaner that can filter fine particles.

    If you must spend time outdoors, a well-constructed, well-fitting and properly worn respirator type mask (such as a NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent respirator) can reduce your exposure to the fine particles in the smoke. Even though exposure may be reduced, there can still be risks to health.

    Check in on others who are in your care or live nearby who may be more likely to be impacted by outdoor air pollution.


  • Ya that sucks to be in that situation, but I know it’s very easy to fall into that trap. I’ve put up ads for homes in the past for these guys, but it’s hard to find homes for many of them when you live in the boonies. Despite spending a lot of money on them (it’s over $220 plus tax alone just to get a female fixed here, plus I blow about $200 a month on food and litter) I give them away for free when I can.

    I’ve wanted to upgrade my 15 yr old pc for awhile, but to me this is more important. (I would have bought some upgrades this spring but a $750 vet bill took care of that.) But if I didn’t do what I’m doing, there would be at minimum 8 more litters of cats around to deal with, or a lot more dead cats.



  • Honestly if it were up to me I wouldn’t have had any cats. I’m more of a dog person, my last dog died of cancer a few years ago. But I do love these little assholes and want to help the best I can. When I do find a home for one, it makes me a little sad to see them go, but very happy someone else loves them and that I did my part to help give them a normal life.
