why is cat bugging normalized these days. Like I get cuddling cats, kissing them on their little heads etc but I’ve gotten sick of seeing videos where someone is holding their cat down and kissing it and the cats either pissed/uncomfy or the cat is pulling away and the owner won’t let the cat go or those videos where people put their cats head in their mouthes. Like yes you can love your pet but ugh dont do that stuff . Also another problem is if the cat scratches or bites people will say “oh cats hate love”which yes I’ve seen those comments.

meanwhile the cat would only hurt you due to being uncomfortable or being annoyed and keep in mind a dog would do the same. Oh and that too why do people understand stuff like “ Don’t hug dogs they get anxious” which is useful info but people don’t understand not to hold their cats down and harass them

So it looks like NaNoWriMo are happy to have AI as part of their community. Miss me with that bullshit. Generative artificial intelligence is an active threat to creativity and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people in creative fields.

The National Archives is collaborating with the National Park Service on a special project to tag and transcribe 80,000+ pension records of American Revolution soldiers and their families—handwritten stories of their service and their lives.

Stop the Army Corps from Draining Thousands of Acres of Wetlands

Yet again, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has resurrected a destructive project in Mississippi's South Delta that would damage at least 90,000 acres of wetlands that support more than 450 species of birds and wildlife. Their “preferred alternative” for the Yazoo Backwater Area Water Management Project is slated to include a massive pump that will drain and damage hemispherically important wetlands.

Urge the Army Corps to abandon this project once and for all. The deadline to comment is August 27.

Note: Your letter will be sent directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of a public comment period and will become part of the public record.
