Horribly right-on feminist, part of the vanguard of female bass players who will (hopefully soon) take over the world. Crazy cat - and dog - lady often found up a mountain or with my head in a bassbin somewhere
So much hate for her on this thread + yet a post on Gerard Depardieu passes almost without comment.

My Christmas wish is for people to stop breeding designer puppies for profit, + to adopt from their local shelter. I'm onto my fifth rescue dog + every day is a joy.
There's no reason to buy a dog - unless it's for medical grounds - that isn't inherently selfish.
Thank you to all the shelters.

I totally agree. The one that gets me: The Blair Witch Project. Absolute toss. Running through the woods in the dark, speaking to camera with hands over her face and yet her fingernails are spotless.

What on earth...? Keep cats indoors? Bad for their health? Citation needed.

Fantastic. I've seen a few sun dogs and halos in my time but nothing on that scale. 360 degrees - just amazing, i didn't know that was a thing. Thanks for the post.

Alot of domesticated pets have been stolen in south east Asia for the meat farms, most of which cater to the tourists. There are dog-meat eating festivals which are very popular. The locals don't eat much of it but it's really taken off in the last three decades.
It's a real thing, believe me.

See also; the roman harbour walls + villa at Sea Mills. The concrete used there sets underwater, as it uses ash from Vesuvius. Clever Romans.

I've told a few folks about this and they just wouldn't believe me
'what d'you mean, a roman villa? No it's just some old building'
I've had to drive them out there a few times to prove it.
