I do what I want

“You can’t compare sex work to other types of work because having sex you’re not enthusiastic about is really traumatizing”

I’m sure for a lot of people that’s true but for me sex and masturbation occupy a similar emotional space to brushing my teeth or doing the dishes and I certainly don’t feel traumatized about it and I know for a fact that I’m not the only person who feels this way.

Also I think that someone physically and violently forcing me to brush my teeth might end up being traumatizing.

Sex is so taboo and mythologized that people have forgotten the mechanics of it.

Yeah sex might be sacred and important to you. To me it’s a chore I’ve gotta do sometimes. Like cooking. I love cooking and put great importance on it and who I do it with. A lot of people just cook to live though.

Here is the thing, this doggy daycare/boarding service is extremely reputable. Over 4 stars, nearly 5. Most businesses that handle animals have a couple unavoidable mishaps but this place has rave reviews and pet owners generally say they’re happy with the service, the negative reviews are from years ago and are general doggy daycare complaints like “It’s a little stinky inside.” Pretty much scandal free, dog owners who used the service were completely shocked and blindsided and are saying that their dogs were always happy to go and were always in great shape when they picked them up.

Everyone on local social media is scrambling to try to figure out what happened and what kind of animal welfare investigation the cops are conducting and why everything is sooooo hush-hush. The cops not saying a goddamn thing and no one coming forward to say “Hey, the investigation is about the mistreatment of my dog.” has speculation running wild. If it was a cruelty/neglect problem, you would think the police would put out an appeal for information and tell owners who use the service to check their pets for injuries and report back. They haven’t. They haven’t said shit. No updates. They’re treating this investigation like it is top secret and extremely serious but they’re not telling us what they’re investigating. I would think the business was doing serious financial crimes if they had not specified that the animal welfare division was investigating and if that cop hadn’t told an owner not to use the service.

So, what is going on? Is this a nothingburger? Do the cops just have beef with the owner? Was an employee hurting the animals and it somehow never made it online? People (me included) think it may be connected to the extreme heatwave we’ve been having, that maybe a dog was accidentally left outside and died due to hyperthermia (certain dog breeds like bulldogs have a much harder time breathing in the heat and staying cool) or perhaps their A/C broke and they decided to remain open and dogs fell ill because of that BUT no one who used the service has come out to say “Oh yeah, it was hot and miserable when I went to pick up/drop off my dog.” AND the owner said that the dogs still boarding with them were safe and cared for, indicating that their website promise of ‘a climate controlled environment’ has not been compromised.

I am so fucking nosy and desperate to know what could have happened to make the cops act like this is some sort of wide-scale extremely serious conspiracy. Cops are notoriously lax and lazy about animal welfare/animal cruelty investigations so I don’t know how bad things would have to be for them to be this serious and procedural. I really hope it is nothing, no animals were harmed and a disgruntled owner or former employee put in a false tip but I think they would have figured that out by now. Again, this is one of the largest, swankiest and most popular boarding/day care facilities in the area, they’ve won multiple awards, this is not a backward side hobby for the owner. What do you guys think happened?

1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!

2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.

- when you’re jay walking, cars will actively accelerate bc the drivers want to kill you for breaking the rules

- servers in restaurants act very scared and apologetic, so maybe people aren’t nice to them here??? or I could be terrifying

- it’s really cute when little kids have British accents, but I’m unmoved by adults with accents

- extremely good gluten free options. this country is like 20 years ahead of Canada in that regard

- people will give random insignificant buildings names with little plaques. and then that’s the name that shows up on the map. like even a smaller than average family home, you can name it like it’s a dog

- lots of brick and stone buildings. looks cute and charming until you enter one and there’s no air conditioning
