She is eating a raw cut-up duck breast, like a princess.
181·5 months agoMy husband went to a conference 2 weeks ago in Florida. Blue collar industry, no one is vaccinated, no one wearing a mask. He came home and immediately had Covid (we are both vaccinated). I got it too. Motherfuckers. Oh, and if he wore a mask there is a very serious chance he’d be shunned at work, which we can’t afford.
This is very accurate, actually.
Out of all the great suggestions ITT, I think I like this one the best. But I would be the kidnapped wife in this situation, so I don’t get to pick the music.
Thank you so much, that’s plenty for me to explore!
Got any good psychedelic rock recs for someone mostly unfamiliar with the genre?
6·7 months agoI think the last sentence of your post is very true. If you feed your pet well, you will spend less at the vet over time.
Thank you, this is interesting and useful. I’m telling my friend with the cats, she is the one who sent me this meme.

Ever since the coronavirus pandemic, working from home has become normalized. But working from home can also lead to a very bad habit called bed rotting. This new trend encourages people to stay in bed for passive activities, but that can spill over into work.
“I’m not one to, like, get up and get ready every single day. But I need my screens. I need my monitors. I need my set up,” said Caroline Wharry, who works in marketing from home a few days a week.
Wharry said working from home is a new type of lifestyle, but bed rotting sounds somewhat lazy and uncomfortable.
“I take my meetings, and when I’m on meetings, I try to have my camera on. So, I do not understand how they’re doing all of that from their bed,” Wharry said.
Elise Vader, a physician’s assistant and sleep specialist with University Hospital, said people could also develop insomnia.
“For general health. We know that being active and moving is important for the body, for your mood, for your muscle health, for your heart health,” Vader said.
A Sleep Doctor survey found about six out of 10 remote and hybrid workers say they bed rot during work hours. Four out of every 10 men say they are more likely to bed rot compared to just two out of every 10 women. And four out of every 10 bed rotters say they were influenced to do it because they heard about it from others.
“The No. 1 thing is when it comes to what we call sleep hygiene, which is like the best way to get the most healthy sleep, you know, keeping your room cool, dark and quiet, staying away from screens. This kind of goes against that,” said Marten Carlson, a sleep science coach.
About 40% of bed rotters say they spend one to two hours working from their bed, and about half of those bed rotters say they spend at least half of their day in bed.
“When we think about sleep, especially when you’re doing activities in bed, you’re training your brain that the bed is for being awake and active,” said Dr. Kristi Pruiksma, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UT Health San Antonio.
She advised that the bed should be used for sleep and intimacy only.
Your Honor, I’m not a cat.
They are not just skinheads anymore. They wear polo shirts and khakis. Did you miss the march in Charlotsville along with many other gatherings of that nature? Just because you are ignorant of this doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
I haven’t either until this cat popped up in my image search, and I went “What in the world is this beauty‽”
The article said he was 7 years old.
He wasn’t my kitty, but I appreciate the sentiment nevertheless as I have lost pets before. It’s never easy.
Aaand subscribed. Perfect community for my cat maymays. Thank you!
Please don’t consider this an approval of his chonkiness - he is at “fat camp,” which is the obviously right thing to do. Don’t overfeed your pets, people!
