  • Trans people are also a historically oppressed and marginalized group, so much so that history has hidden a lot of them. That oppression has also been rooted in misogyny. So any attempt to uproot misogyny which ignores this fact is doomed to fail.

  • Meanwhile in my town the local bookstore died because a real estate developer bought the building and jacked up the rent 400% in order to force him out, then cancelled leases on the smaller businesses and made plans to destroy the building as part of a big vapid project. Local residents couldn't stop it happening but blocked demolition and it's been sitting empty and neglected so long the developer died. At this point it probably can't be restored either. A fucking shame.

  • All good points, and reasons you might be better off going to Disneyland in California, which is 500 acres including California Adventure. So you can "do Disney" in one long day, especially if you have little kids who don't like the really scary rides, or you're all too old for Small World. Then you have all the other Southern California stuff left, including several other theme parks.

    Edit to add: at Disneyland, there's an official colony of cats!

  • That really sucks. If you can reach a human (it's worth trying an actual phone call!) and tell them how hard up you are, you might be able to break it down into small payments, ask if you can make it $10/month.

  • Also, many of the young people who live in the Anaheim area work the Disney parks as their summer jobs. Not sure how that fits into the hierarchy. And of course the people who make Disney movies get free entry if they reserve it ahead.

  • 'Scuse you, she's busy stalking birds right now! Don't remind her she's actually indoors, that's like your mom interrupting your video game!

    When you get up, grab a wand toy and waggle it for her to pounce at awhile and then give her a crunchy treat, like it's the bones of that chickadee out there.

  • Anyone?

  • If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.

  • If you have a bank of mailboxes that sticks out from the wall, you could try perching the "return to sender" envelope on top of the boxes, with maybe a post-it that says "Outgoing Mail" on it.

  • How about, "For $500 I'll perform the exam, and for an extra $1000 I'll guarantee she passes. Because clearly this is all transactional to you, there's no need to bring truth into it."
