Seeing the title, "it's in Harrison, isn't it?" Reading the article, "it doesn't say where." Feeling dirty and clicking on the link to their site, "It says Ozarks... And North East Arkansas. Not quite Harrison."
Harrison is well known for being incredibly racist and the K³ capital of Arkansas.
Bat and Ding had those names at the shelter and we didn't see a reason to change them. Luna ... We were told he was a she as a kitten, and after a week of proper nutrition we saw the boy bits and just kept the name. Apollo was purposely named that way because we already had one swap and then we'd have the sun and moon.
And when it's not red, you have a serious issue going on. This is actually how a couple initially noticed something was wrong with their toddler's eye. Turned out she had cancer. She's a healthy adult now, with a glass eye, but I have never looked at red eyes in photographs in a negative way since then.
Me too. I also get anxiety attacks over needles... Last time this happened I was in the ER anyways. I passed out, apparently seized up, they stuck an oxygen tube in my nose and I woke right back up. I remember being asked if I knew where I was and I said "no." Time before that was when I got my second COVID shot at a drive through clinic... The nurse gave me the shot in my shoulder bone. Passed out in the car while we were waiting and ended up on the ambulance to go down the block to the hospital.
This has happened to me since I was a teenager. I just warn people that I might pass out.
For me, it was kbin.social - but kbin and lemmy didn't play well together when I joined (and now it's in its current state). Then I picked lemmy.world - and they went down one day due to the influx of users. Then I picked sh.itjust.works and I've been happy ever since. I'll be staying here until the day I spin up my own instance.
It hurts mine too, but I'm proud of her for overcoming her inner battles. She's here. She's smiling.
