My Random Mind

This is a really good post. Death is inevitable in rescue, whether it’s the only humane option left to prevent suffering, or the natural end of a life well lived in care. What’s most important are the protocols and criteria. for us, we’re lucky in that we’ve had enough support we’ve never had to turn away a domestic animal. And for euthanasia, we only euth when quality of life is low or plummeting and there aren’t any realistic options left to regain a good life, or for temperament/mental health, only when an animal is beyond attempts to rehabilitate AND quality of life can’t be maintained without endangering volunteers or other animals. There are plenty of ‘asshole’ rats who live their lives out here, and honestly it’s a huge amount of resources that we realistically wouldn’t be able to do if it were a much larger animal.

In case anyone’s wondering is because getting an x ray once is so barely harmful that it rounds to zero but standing in front of an x ray emitter 40 hours a week for years will definitely kill you

If I go to the bar and have one drink with the bartender I’ll be fine. If the bartender has a drink with every patron then they will die

This is all true and immediately obvious to anyone who thinks about it for more than 1.5 seconds, but it doesn’t change the fact that “dude goes to egypt to press a button” is still the funniest set of words I’ve read today.

I know I talk a lot of shit about supergirl but I really do love it with my whole heart. Like not the show so much but the Vibe. The potential. The hope help and compassion of it all that’s buried under all the CW mediocrity

By the way, Alex Danvers is smart as hell, highly intuitive and a lesbian. The fact that she hasn’t called her sister out for talking about one woman 1,000,000,069 times a day is the least believable thing on a show about a flying alien in a cape.
