Do you purport to care about #conservation? Keep your damn cats indoors and minimize their threat to #birds, #mammals, & lizards. #cats that are allowed to roam outside, feral or otherwise, are a major threat to our #wildlife and #biodiversity.

WFH perk (aside from ugg boots) - yelling into the void when you can’t find the words you need for a discussion.
Strength is knowing when you lack it
I think I know often take risks I needn’t too to prove that I am adult. Spending an hour on the bus late at night because it’s it cheaper than an Uber.
