I had a man wolf-whistle at me as I walked into the gas station.
He did it twice to make sure I heard him.
Haven’t been catcalled since I worked in the prison.

Except, as the study says, wealthier countries have lower rates of Toxoplasma gondii in humans because the cats are fed controlled diets and not allowed to roam*.
*(Except in the FUCKING UK.)
*(Except in the FUCKING UK.)
Companion animals like cats and dogs are generally a positive for well-being.
But with cats, there is a downside — they carry the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect humans. It’s been linked to road rage, depression and other mood changes.

Countries with more cats are happier, study finds. But there’s a catch.
A new study looks at the factors that contribute to a country’s well-being, including our feline companions.

E.T. gave me nightmares. That opening shot of running through the grass really hit me hard when I was the same height as E.T.

Whose suffering powered the palace
Citizens lived in the light
Ignoring his plight

I chose not to have a baby because the idea of something inside me made me super uncomfortable.
People have told me I’m weird for looking at it that way. (My mom told me how I clawed the inside of her uterus.)
But the AutismInWomen subreddit is full of women struggling with motherhood.
