The tabby, Aristotle, is loafing and poorly lit under a table. Basically zoned out, only looking up & pointing ears forward b/c roomie was making snapping noises.

I'm so glad we are all still here, still alive, and here for each other and any others facing this type of abuse.

If you have been hurt, gaslit, demeaned, groomed, you can get out, you are strong and I believe in you.

exhibit A: landlord has signs saying that cash is not accepted for late payments - they must be checks or money orders (& only the latter if you've bounced a check)

which is EXACTLY 180° WRONG. the one and only time you're legally required to accept US cash dollars is for settling a debt. You can make whatever rules you want about what kinds of payment you accept… unless they owe you money. Then you are required to accept money.

That's because Facebook told everybody that people paid a lot of attention to video ads.

Turns out, THAT's because Facebook desperately wanted advertisers to buy the more-expensive video slots (instead of plain text or images) and falsified their viewing metrics, sometimes by a factor of /nine hundred/:
