  1. A quotation from George Bernard Shaw

    FANNY: I don’t mind this play shocking my father morally. It’s good for him to be shocked morally. It’s all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Fanny’s First Play, “Induction” (1911)

  7. #Caturday is not going well. The man stood on my tail, but while I was hissing and running away, I tripped up the preferred human when she was trying to give me treats as compensation. Eric tried to eat my treats, so I chased him, but he was too fast and annoying. :blobcathissing:

    Therefore, I hid under the bed for a while, but I've emerged to claim the hug that I deserve after all that trauma. :blobcathug: #Upsetting #cat #CatsOfMastodon #FediCat

  8. CW: pol-adjacent: upsetting law-enforcement response to humane actions

    In the US, people who solve problems get arrested, apparently. Or maybe it's just Alabama. We can pretend that, right?

    2022-12-17 Alabama women, 85 and 61, sentenced after feeding stray cats

    Two Alabama women have been given suspended jail sentences last week after feeding stray cats and trapping them so they could be neutered, a common public health intervention to reduce stray numbers.

    Officials accused the pair of feeding feral cats near the courthouse, claiming it had resulted in thousands of dollars in property damage.
