Live and let live. Kindness matters. There is no Planet B. Love animals, don’t consume them or their products. No time for hyperbolic hatefulness or black and white thinking. Please don’t DM me, I don’t want to offend by not responding.

Yes absolutely they can, and should be. They’ve been slipping through a loophole permitted by our crappy environmental protection legislation. The loophole badly needs closing!!

Hmmm - thanks for the tip but hard pass on that one! (even if it wasn’t going to be a 20 hour flight for me to visit said antique shop 😂 )

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend drinking tea, reading books, and eating a scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.

For cat persons. Possibly the best thread I’ll see for a while

I don't like to brag but I do think our cat Jim is probably better at stretching than virtually any other cat in Britain.

"Even if the house is destroyed, even if it's just rubble, we'll go back, put up a tent, and return to our people." The resilience and fortitude in the face of what in a just world should never have had to be endured in the first place, is breathtaking.
