  • You're thinking of Rhianna and Eminem, love the way you lie,.or something like that. It's hysterical to me that that's the song you're talking abt because the person who originally replied to you suggested Eminem and Dido. So. I think you just don't like Slim Shady.

  • A woman took her sick puppy to a Maryland shelter to be euthanized. The dog is up for adoption again.
  • It's the 10th of Stan Rawlinson's 10 Pet Commandments:

    -Stay with me on the ultimate difficult journey. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence”. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, regardless of what you do I will always love you.

    What a strange, cruel policy from the vet. When I had to put my cat down, my vet had me hold her in my arms while she administered the shot, and then she left the room so it could be just me and my cat til the end. Since I decided to take her body home to bury on my parents' property, my vet recommended that I show her to my remaining cat so that we could mourn together. She said he would understand what death meant if he got to see her, but he would be distressed more if she just disappeared.

    What a hideous policy for everyone involved, shame on this vet/shelter for so many reasons.

  • Peepo
  • My grandpa's life partner came into his life after my dad was an adult but before I was born, so she's been in the family longer than I have. She never wanted to be called anything other than her first name, but by all measures, she is my grandma, and I love her. So I've had the typical grandma/grandpa names for mine, but I also have an Izzy, and that's really special to me.

  • I was awarded my 3 gallon award today for blood donations.
  • Do you always donate at the same place? When I received my one gallon pin, it was a complete surprise because i know that I had donated more than 1 gallon at that time. But I used to move a lot and would just pop into any random blood drive I saw anytime I was eligible to donate. I received the one gallon pin from one specific bloodbank that I've been going to for years now, and i just figure they dont know about the other places in different states. Since I'm anemic, the phlebotomists tell me to double my recovery time before donating again, so I can only donate 3 or 4 times a year, so it's taking a while for me to hit those milestones. I did get a postcard in the mail from the hospital affiliated w my bloodbank when my donation was used for a transfusion, which was pretty cool.

  • Saudi Arabia to be appointed chair of UN’s gender equality forum
  • I'm young and ignorant, so I don't know what I'm talking about and I'd be open to anyone posting any links for me to learn from. But I remember being in middle and high-school 20 years ago, and learning about the UN's "millennium goals" that they were trying to achieve by 2015. And they were... awesome. Like the real definition of awesome. They were awe-inspiring. And they made me hopeful as a young teen. And I remember when 2015 came and went and they hadn't even come close to meeting those goals. And I remember thinking, okay, well, they'll keep trying. But they didn't keep trying, and in fact I never heard anyone talk about the millennium goals ever again. And then 2016 came, and at least from my American-centric viewpoint, the world has been on a rapid decline since then. And I am honestly so hopeless, like rock bottom hopless, like, I don't know what the future is gonna be, but i can't imagine a good one if we stay on this path, and I don't know what to do, because I'm not a world leader.

    I used to have so much respect and admiration for the UN but they're just as garbage as every other power in the world. This post is a fucking joke. My ex partner is from Saudi. I remember excitedly asking him about his opinion and his families opinion when women were first given permission to drive and he was DISGUSTED. Said "this should have happened ages ago, Saudi is using this as a PR move, why should we be happy that women are just now getting this right?"

    Anyway. Sorry for the long response to your sarcastic comment. Have a good day. Xoxo.

  • Scrub Mommy
  • It's called the scrub mommy because it has a soft side :)

    (I didn't make that up, thats their advertising).

    Also it does 2x the work for less money than the scrub daddy costs. I didn't make that up either, but it's true, they're cheaper, and that's very funny.

  • Darryl George: Texas judge rules school district can restrict the length of male students’ natural hair
  • Sure, I read your back and forth earlier this morning with that other person, and I agree that if there is even a little room for semantic loopholes, assholes will use it, so it's better to just be annoyingly specific. At this point in our country's lifetime, lawmakers should know this, and the crown act should have been so beurocratically definitive of all aspects of hair. But also school officials should be worried about teaching all kids, not this dumb bullshit. :(

    xx hope your day is nice and you're having a good hair day

  • Darryl George: Texas judge rules school district can restrict the length of male students’ natural hair
  • I'm a white girl. My hairstyle is "long". It's my entire personality.

    What they are doing to this young man is grotesque, but I'm not at all surprised the superintendent is being so petty. He's nothing more than an overgrown racist high school bully.

  • Steam adds "Dwarf" as a tag
  • This is the original meaning of the phrase "the customer is always right". It's been warped by "karen" types into a weapon used against minimum wage workers, but what it's supposed to mean is "the customer is always right in matters of taste". Meaning if a company doesn't want to do something because they think it's dumb but the demographic says "I like that" then the customer is right, and the company should do it. I know the dwarf tag isn't about money, but it's still a matter of listening to the customers on the platform.

  • IMAP - I Missed A Picture @lemm.ee cokeslutgarbage @lemmy.world
    Couldn't take a pic cuz i was driving but...

    I crested the hill on my way to work, and perched on a powerline was the biggest Red Tailed Hawk I've ever seen in my life. The sun was rising on the other side of the road, dusting the snow covered mountains in pink and gold light, still half covered in shadow, just waking up. The road in front of me was straight and clear, there were no other cars. As I drove past this big guy I slowed down and was gonna stop to take a picture, but we locked eyes, he flung open his massive wings, dust swirling in the air around him, glinting in the new sunlight. He shook himself out like a wet dog and swooped in front of my window and into the pine grove across the street.

    Cops arrest 17-year-old suspected of hundreds of swattings nationwide
  • Man that's a tough one. I think you're doing the right thing by not calling and I'm going to share an anecdote to explain why.

    My coworker was walking home late one night and encountered a homeless man. It was negative degrees outside. He wrestled with the idea of what to do because he didn't want the cops to bother or hurt this guy. He wasn't belligerent or bothering anyone, but my friend was worried about him because it was freezing outside. My friend decided to call 911. He wanted an ambulance to come. Instead the cops came and took the man away in handcuffs. When he was telling me the story at work the next day, he cried. He's a big bearded stereotypical "tough guy" and I'd never personally seen him show emotion like that. He felt so bad, and he regretted calling.

    One of those drunks you see might hurt someone, but that's on them for choosing to drive or the bartender for not calling the cops or cutting them off. Where I'm from, part of bartender certification is getting trained on how to take customers keys and when to call a cab and when to call the cops.

    A lot of words in this post to say:

    I think you're making the right choice.

    Xx much love

  • TIL about Earl Silverman, a domestic abuse survivor who founded a shelter for men. It was denied funding from the government and he was ridiculed. The shelter went bankrupt and he died by suicide
  • My mother was the abuser in my home. She abused me and my father. That fact doesn't prevent me from knowing that men are statistically more likely to be the aggressor. I don't know what I'm trying to say with this comment. Life is scary and hard enough. May we all only share and receive kindness.

    Xx love you.
