What if there was a Marxist-Leninist version of Harry Potter?

Would the four Hogwarts houses be different schools of thought within Marxism? Would the Dursleys be neoliberals? What would Voldemort be?

Does This Just Not Exist Outside My Area?

For obvious reasons, I don't want to give out the name, but I used to be a student at a homeschool place you'd go into for two or three hour-long classes per week. What sets it off from most co-ops you guys went to is that a) it had its own building, not just a church basement or community center, b) it was secular, and there were lots of nonreligious people there, and c) there were full-time teachers, not just parents. Browsing this sub, I've come to realize just how unusual and rare a place like this is. Am I the only one who had this experience? Does it just not exist outside my particular metro area?

AITA For breaking up with my cat after her friend sent me a picture of them licking each other?

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

So, I (34m) have a Siamese cat named Noelle (10f) who's been my best friend for years now. Every day, we play cards against humanity together and post it on our YouTube channel, and in the evenings, we watch old movies and play video games. She's the kind of cat who you can talk about just about anything with-at least, that's what I thought until recently.

Whenever I go on vacation, I leave her at this catsitting place in our hometown. She loves it there, and she's got a ton of friends, including Snowball (8f), a fluffy white Persian cat. The two of them are so close nowadays that they even go on trips together. I've always gotten along with Snowball, and we text each other every now and then, but this week, while she and Noelle were on vacation in Bali, she sent me something I can't stop thinking about. It was a picture of the two of them lying on their bed and aggressively licking each other. Now, I'm not a jealous man, but I give Noelle a bath every day, and I'm not exactly pleased to see someone else doing my job. When she got home, I laid out a bunch of cards against humanity cards in front of Noelle and asked her to explain herself, and she immediately bapped the one reading "I'm a lesbian". I was understandably taken aback by this, and yesterday, I made the difficult decision to take her back to the shelter. My phone is now blowing up with relatives telling me how evil I am.

Tell me reddit, am I the anus?

"As a Ukrainian, Ukraine are the real occupiers!"

Found under some tankie video on YouTube (to be clear, I was watching it because I saw people mocking it on r/tankiejerk, not because I'm a tankie). I don't think anyone in Odessa would say they're under Ukrainian occupation.
