I can't stop thinking about how amazing Dolly Parton was

Obviously I didn't know her, but it's amazing how she gained all the success and money after starting from nothing, and rather than just bask in it she used it to help the world. She paid NICU babies medical bills, she founded a charity that sent millions of free books to under fives, her donations helped the creation of the covid vaccine. She gave incentives to the children of her hometown to graduate high school which decreased the dropout rate. Probably more I don't know about. Think of all the ordinary lives she must have changed.

Forget Jolene. Nothing can compete with Dolly

It must have been horrible for the winner of the first quarter quell when they got home

Presuming that the winner wasn't tactically voted for due to strength or other advantage, and was instead voted because of say a community rivalry between families (likely what the Capitol was aiming for, deepening existing grudges), imagine coming home knowing a large chunk of the community wanted to send you to the death games and most likely die there.

Anyone else starting to worry it's never going to rain properly again?

I know it sounds silly and dramatic, but I am starting to get concerned. We've not had more than a drizzle in my area for months, maybe one overnight chuck it down. No end in sight. Some countries have barely any rain. Are we becoming one of those countries?

Edit: for those making fun, generalised anxiety disorder doesn't work on logic. My brain goes to extreme, worst cases even if logically unlikely. If you don't have anything nice to say, at least don't be an ass

How do I get my cat to stop yowling or at least yowl less?

She's two, almost three. I took over her care a few months back. She had surgery to remove a tumor, so spaying isn't an option right now and naturally shes gone into heat. Normal stuff. But she will not stop yowling. Day and night, I can't sleep because of her noise. I don't expect her to be silent, but is there anything I can do just to make her a little calmer so I can get some rest.

My quiet cat is suddenly super playful. Is that normal?

She's two. I've known her since she was a kitten, but I've recently taken over being her primary care giver as her original owner (a family member) wasn't paying much attention to her or her sister. She's always been very quiet and shy, but all of a sudden she's become so playful. Playing with her toys, having zoomies, wanting strokes. She's never wanted our attention before. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it, but I'm also confused. Is this switch odd or does this happen sometimes?

Are the paid levels worth it?

I currently use the free account and I'm wondering whether I should look into some of the perks. What are people's general thoughts?
