(In related news I just read in a comment about cats "in nature, where they belong" and I just barely didn't start a fight)

(Basically, I made the mistake to let her into my living space... There were extenuating circumstances, but I REALLY should have known better... I'll better not talk to her for the next week or so 😬)

I love her, she was never abusive or anything, but there are just some topics with.... not necessarily explosive potential, but more corrosion potential, where she says something and it eats through me like hydrofluoric acid

People here are so focused on "cats need their freedom" that they completely forget that CATS ARE DESERT ANIMALS.... and the cats around here generally don't get cat doors, either, they have to hang around outside until their owners let them back in...

to posit the theory that we were able to domesticated horses and communicate with them so effectively bc of that innate curiosity)

(I used deer - extremely reactive, tiny, able to live off basically nothing - as a comparison point to horses - pretty big, need quite a lot of food even as wild horses, actually quite curious and playful -

If Woody Allen dies from infection in exile while fleeing a prison sentence, I feel it might be ok to watch his stuff again 🤣

It honestly also sounds like this person only JUST heard about Caravaggio 🤣

www.stern.de/kultur/carav... here's the article btw... so fucking stupid

Woody Allen is credibly accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old, and all he gets is what, a bad rep?

Also, in contrast to all the people this author is talking about, Caravaggio actually experienced consequences (likely because his victims were men). He was excluded from associations, spent time in prisons, fled his home...

He was literally the second artist I ever really loved (the first one was Botticelli, don't judge me, I was 13 and basic) and people have been crazy about his work as long as I can remember, and I started being interested in #renaissance art in like, 2000....

And the article acts like this is something new, like people only NOW start to like Caravaggio's work???

I mean, yeah, #Caravaggio did commit a lot of violent crimes, but he didn't systematically abuse children and young women.......

They're an integral part of the summary 😖
