I’ve noticed lately (I’ve had him over 4 years & he only just started doing this) that when I get really upset, my cat comes over & will start purring & rubbing his face against my face if he can get to it & I genuinely believe he’s trying to calm me down & it works every time. Bless animals!

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.

Giving up Instagram/Facebook feels a whole lot like Bilbo giving up The One Ring. It’s very difficult, but I instantly felt better after I made the decision.

My @scishow.bsky.social buddies will appreciate this one.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔

It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!
