Hello, today i witnessed a kitten about 3 months old be struck after bolting onto lovers lane. I turned around to rush to it. 2 kind souls stopped as well. I thought the baby had passed but was hopeful, and took the kitten to the VCA. Sadly the kitten did not make it. I would like to assure if this baby has a fanily, that they know. VCA emergency off of westnedge has the kitten still and will be posting to its page as well they said. I did not take the time to record or get pics. I was heartbroken and in a hurry. The vet will post a picture they said. If not claimed within a certain time framez they will cremate the kitty.

The kitten was healthy, almost a white grey with stripes. It looks like my moms siamese mixed with a tiger. I do not think it was a stray. But it could have been. Again this was on lovers lane just south of loy norrix, just before the bridge over i-94.

Thank you to the kind souls who stopped and gave me comfort and offered to help me to bury the kitten. Ashton and i cannot remember their friends name. I was a wreck. I had just left the vet for a kitten i rescued monday. In a world where so many are losing their empathy and humanity. Where most would have said "that person has it i dont have to stop". These 2 stopped to check on ME. I wont forgrt that kindness. It gave me a bit more hope in the world. Sorry, i am so sad about this. Thank you again to ashton and friend(i am so sorry i cannot remember your name 🫤😔). You 2 deserve all the good in the world. May others be kind to you. When you need help, may it be there. I too am here if you need help if any sort. I really needed you two&there was no hesitation. The world needs more people like the two of you.

I tried on a suit today and major lesson learned on thuroughly checking it. It was my 3rd suit to try on so i was kind of over it. Regardless....i got to check out and when he flipped the swimsuit to find the price tag, there it was. Dried yellow stuff....in the crotch on the outside and inside. Thankfully i wore thin pants and kept all of my clothing on and not just my underwear

HOWEVER i carried that thing around the whole damn store. I have autism, OCD, and am a germaphobe. I cried. Its fucking disgusting anyway. But my ocd is trying so hard to take control. I have shorts that work as bottoms and bought a bikini top. I am grown and know i will get a one piece for laps. But atm i cant do it. I also have cuts and open blisters from gardening. I will be getting an STI test in a week and another in a month or so.

What the actual fuck?? There are signs EVERYWHERE about wearing underwear to try on ALL clothing, and the specify swimsuits amd under garments in the fitting rooms! Theres also suppose to be a paper liner that wasnt there and that tells you as well. Dicks employees promptly walked me to the bathroom, and opened the door for me. They returned the money and dicks says they will likely have to throw out all of those suits now. Those were competitve swim. Another emoloyee asked about the basic nonsports swimwear. Their faces were so disgusted and defeated. As was mine.

Why are people so disgusting???

Hey all, recently i have had work done at my home. 3 different local businesses are using AI for their main services. I am about to contact them and tell them i am leaving due to this unless they stop using AI. I fear protests and pushing our elected officials in all partiea is not enough. I fear we must hold our neighbors/local business owners accountable as well. Our world is in danger and michigan is looking at 25 data centers. It is on all of us to be aware, be active, and protect our nature. One employee let me know he is very uncomfortable using the AI system, but if he doesnt will likely loose his job. I will not say the busineeses name on here, as i have directly spoken with employees and will be directly emailing the business owner with my concerns. Which i currently feel is the best approach, unless they refuse to not use AI/not help kill our planet.

I know it is hard, uncomfortable, and scary. But these are our neighbors, not billionaire business owners. They are more likely to hear us, our concerns, and our unwillingness to use them any longer. This is not me asking us to fight local business owners. But rather question them, and get them to question themselves and what they are doing/using. I do not wish to encourage "witch hunts", rather healthy discussions and results. I, like many, recognize how we are going about the fight, is not working. Organizing happens in many ways. Not just taking to the streets. I have worked in tech. I have studied science. I have been in politics. I am severely worry for planet and our childrens future. I know this is going to upset people, and i will face backlash. But the seed is planted. We must fight back however we can, and do so united.

Local business this parts to you: please stand with us, and save our planet. Do not give inti AI. Do not surrender. AI is not the answer. Its the end. We do not grasp balance in the US, we mainly grasp "more is better". One day, there will be no more to take. We can prevent that. Please help us in doing so.

Please start asking businesses you use if they use AI, for what, and why. Accountability and boycotting works, especially with smaller businesses. I hate to do this to local business owners, but i personally don't see another way. The billionaires and corrupt politicians won't listen to us. I promise that. Its now or never. The rio grand is drying up. Everywhere with these data centers is reporting serious environmental issues, unclean water or water being dried up. Thank you for your time.

Last night/early this morning around 1 am i took my dogs out. I all of a sidden started hearing muffled childrens cries. My dogs stopped mid pee, stood to attention. I have a large fence that causes echoing. All 3 of us were trying to pin point the cries. Then i heard a woman screaming and a man yelling, again muffled/sounded off in the distance. I heard yells for help, i heard more screaming amd crying. I have been her before. I knew it was close because i could hear the crying. I called 911, and told them. They patrolled and i wasnt the only one who called. Prior to this, theres a neighbor my dog hates. Shes a good girl, whos kind to all but squirrels and mean men. I could hear the arguing, and when he came outside my girl just let off. She had been habing a low growl the whole time. My door has windows to the ground and she can see dirextly to their drive. They have one or 2 little kids. I think it wad them. I have PTSD from my childhood and my exhusband. I had nightmares and cried in my sleep. I have the urge to drive around looking for this woman. I know it wont do anything but settoe my anxiety a bit. I am so worried for her.

I think i am going to get a purple flag, and have "safe space" embroideried on it or something. Fly it right by my door. I am getting my front lught changed and it going to change color. May make that a purple light too. I cannot stand this epidemic of domestic violence and thanks to orange shit stain in office, its worse now that its ever been. "But then you will be in danger". Your point? I have 5, FIVE, dead friends due to domestic violence. Either from suicide due to it. The stalking and harassment and continued abuse when finally leaving. Or just murdered. I have an abusive exhusband that people use to control me and more, rather than stand against. Society today is so fucked up. Ignoring abusers and predators doesnt make them go away, or make them okay to have around. That is called enablement. My adoptive dad raised me forcing me to fight him. A grown 6'6" hungarian/italian man would just randomly punch me and then demand a legit fight from me. I saved my moms life at age 10.

I am livid about whats going on, livid no one heloed me and my mom but protected that POS, livid that societybpoints fingers at government and refused to take accoumtability themselves, and livid about how so many are not fucking mad at all about this shit. I am diagnosed masochistic. Death has been dancing with me since i was a kid. We all die some day. I would rather die fighting this shit, than dyong with guilt due to my complancency. America SUCKS. I know this is eberywhere but here its like really bad. Its a psrt of the "culture" here. And now in my city to make women not call 911 for DV the cops are chathi g BOTH woth domestic violence. Even with video proof one is self defense and the other is not. My city is also one who wont make the course about DV&Sa mandatory for their cops and legal/justice departments. They victim blame and give plea deals to violent offenders here. Our prosecutor is talked about on our cities oage often about this. He LOVES plea deals with pedos and domestic violence offenders. Especially if they are local business owners, or have toes to people. Like my exhusband does. Who is now a narc for the michigan police according to the louissianna state police. Another way this cycle keeps going. These lowlifes are useful for the war on drugs. Most of them do use. If they dont have onformation to narc with. The state and city will take money. DV is only a misdimeanor charge here in my state. Regardless of how severe it can get. I have helped with cases where kids have been harmed, and the state wont bring charges against the person for it, and have dropped the charges when mom/dad/a gaurdian try to press charges for the minor. Yes women can be and are abusive as well. Its jist not near where the males numbers are. For various reasons, one being a lack of reporting due to sexism against men. But the main one is in society we teavh women they dont have the right to be above, to be controlling, or abusive. Women are taught they cannot be angry. They must be nurturing and soft. Men are "alpha" and are taught women are lesser than them. And its okay, if not mandatory for some religions, to be controlling and cruelt to the women. So miss me on that. I will not entertain it. Smfh

I see the cycle. I see the root of the problem. I see the solution. I see a society that doesnt want the help, bevause that meand they. Not just their government. Have to changed amd do better. They wont. As a recovering drig addoct and alcoholic, if yall wanted the help and to change. You eould do the hard fucking work. And yea if you feel called out in my generalization, go ask yourself why. I am not here to do your therapy. Silence is always violence. You ghink you or others have the right to hurt people? I disagree. Strongly, and am willing to die for that cause snd the people trying to leave that hell and break this fucked up cycle. Thanks for reading this.

If you are being abused. Its not your fault. Ever. Abuse is never okay or justifiable. Reacting to abuse with abuse is not healthy, but typical, and therapy can help with your reactivity if you let it. You are not alone. People care. Maybe not all. But there are people who would and do help. You are smart, you are kind, you are funny, you are good and deserve good. YOU ARE LOVED!!! You have the right to leave, but if your lifes at risk. Please be careful about it. You are not alone. You are not at fault. I believe you and want you to survive. Lile i did. 💜💜💜
