Does anyone else get frustrated with the indoor/outdoor cat debate?

I live in Canterbury and whenever I tell people that I have an indoor cat (who gets leash time) they think its crazy and stupid and that he must be miserable. I try explaining that 1. he is much safer being an indoor cat and his safety is my responsibility, 2. we have so much beautiful (and threatened) wildlife, and cats are a big problem when it comes to keeping our wildlife around, and 3. he has no health problems, he gets supervised harness time outside, and he has everything he needs. So I don’t understand why people in this country make it out like its crazy, or that I’m a bad pet owner. Maybe it’s different in places like Welly but here it’s very difficult socially, even though I know I’m doing the right thing.

fucked up situation

so basically my sister in law and her bf have been having arguments, because at the start of their relationship she set a firm boundary that she’s not comfortable with porn. yet he keeps doing it, she’s finally said no, i’m done, i’m leaving. and everyone is on his side????? i’m literally the only one supporting her and everyone is making it out like she’s crazy which makes me feel like IM crazy. anyone had a similar situation??

been in recovery and eating normally for 2 years, but getting symptoms?

i make sure i eat 3 meals a day, sometimes a snack, and while i don’t feel comfortable having full sugar drinks i still drink a 6 pack of beer every week. but lately i’ve been feeling like i did when i was restricting. sluggish, movements feel hard, its hard stringing together a sentence, things like reading or drawing feel like too much effort. is this just depression mimicking anorexia symptoms? or am i accidentally not eating enough? right now my diet looks like this: (tw food log) >!chia pudding or porridge for breakfast with a zero sugar energy drink, lunch and dinner something like soup or a sandwich or quinoa bowl, and maybe some chips if i’m drinking!< . anyone had similar to this?

First ever wine bottled and ready to age!

I’m so happy I moved onto a property with a grape vine, this will now be a yearly tradition. Got about 25 litres and very happy with the taste! I don’t have a hydrometer yet but the yeasts limit was 13% and it tastes (and feels haha) around there.
