Itās not like Iāve just noticed it (Iāve experienced English xenophobia directed at me before, although it was relatively mild), but how is this still a thing?
I think thatās enough internet for me today. Theodicy is one thing, itās the anthropodicy thatās really depressing.

There are countless example of this everywhere right now.
The outright racists have been empowered by the referendum result.

Not that thereās any chance of it happening, but even if the referendum were repeated or annulled, that damage has been done.

What would the āreverseā even be, going up to black people and Latvians and saying āhey, we donāt have enough of you people, so glad we voted Remain!ā

If England is a stable, and its āgenuineā denizens horsesā¦ what kind of horses? Workhorses? Show horses with fancy manes and all that? Meat horses? Or just a bunch of wild horses that need to be broken with a bridle and spur?

Have you ever seen Children of Men? It deals with this sort of thing and gives this outcomeā¦ Rounding up immigrants and shipping them off.
Itās a great, but fucking depressing movie and the last 20 minutes could be triggering if you have PTSD.

Houyhnhnms and Yahoos. Apparently the latter have a voting majority.

I think it would be the Muslims imposed sharia law on the country with the EU illuminati backing them. At least that what I think the āLeaveā voter who tweeted that thought it would be.
The UK has quite a class system. It has all those kinds of horses. Guess which one David Cameron was, guess which one he is now!

Can I just sayā¦ do not read this novel if youāre at a cabin in the woods far away from civilization where you and your Dad have gone to āget awayā for a bit following the death & funeral of your Mother. THAT IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO READ THAT BOOK. kthnxbai

This is a Fuck Last Weekā¦
We lost another critter ā our latest addition, Lucy.
Post your pet or animal pics
She got really ill after a vet visit last Saturdayā¦ Vomited up everything, even water, so she spent every day last week a the vets getting IV fluids and getting evaluated for whatever was going on. After blood tests and a barium x-ray series, it looked like multiple issues including pancreatitis and a portion of her intestine that wasnāt working ā with those issues plus not eating for 7 days the prognosis wasnāt good. Given her pain, and poor prognosis, we decided to put her to sleep this past Saturday.
The wife vehemently said āNo more dogs!ā this weekend, but today at lunch she was perusing her favorite rescue groupās websiteā¦

We had our last dog (a Labrador) euthanized after poor prognosis for cancer. He was our blue star: only five years on this planet but he celebrated every day of his time here. I was cradling his head when they injected the needle. Iāll never, ever forget the weight I began to feel in my hands in those next few seconds. I broke like glass on stone at that moment.

Iām so sorry. I was there when I lost my pooch, and Iāve missed him every day since. Thereās a bond there thatās real and profound.
Take it slow.

Yesterday I noticed that my sweet and delightful pet hedgehog was having a bit of trouble walking. Sheād been a little lazy so Iād been extra scrutinizing. This morning sheās worse and is wobbling while standing, which is the symptom of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. Sheās about 2.5 years old which is in the range when the issue tends to appear. Fuck. Itās a genetic issue since there was too much inbreeding when they were first starting breeding in the US. Thereās no treatment, just a steadily progressing paralysis. Have to go to the vet to confirm, and my wifeās out of town, so itās more of a pain to get to the vet, and Iām alone on top of it, and not sure if I want to mention it until she gets back since sheās on the road for a long drive and might be better off not dwelling on it for hours alone in a car. If confirmed, the recommendation is to euthanize since thereās no treatment and itās a progressive neurodegenerative disease that ends in paralysis. Maybe itās some kind of injury or something, but things look dismal. Iām dying inside.

I am so very sorry. For what itās worth, I was on your wifeās side of a somewhat similar situation, and my SO waited to tell me. I think it made it harder on him, but I appreciated being able to make it home safely, then break down in tears where he could hug me.

So many hugs for you. I say donāt tell her until you get the diagnosis. Maybe its just a parasite or ear mites or something treatableā¦ and even if it is the worst you wonāt need to act on it that very moment. Youāll be able to take her home and prepare and have time with her and wait for your wife to get home. (This is said as someone who had to call her BF in Peru to tell him about his catā¦ right before xmas. Make the call after the diagnosis, not before.) And again, so many hugs.

Aw, christ. Not the princessā¦ sheās got a whole country to run and the free world to lead (politely) come November.
Iām so so sorry to hear this and that youāre going through this particular moment alone. Know that lots of internet strangers are there for you in spirit, though, and wish they could be physically by your side to support you.
