once i realized i don’t need a special reason to dress up, buy myself flowers, take relaxing baths, buy something nice….. it kinda changed my life. sometimes you don’t need an excuse or specific reason to do something nice for yourself.

With the new “Sonic” movie hitting theatres, we suspect that there will be an influx of spontaneous hedgehog adoptions, and being as this is something we would like to avoid, I want to take a moment to give a few facts about hedgehogs.

• hedgehogs are solitary creatures. They do not want or need companionship with other hedgehogs, and in fact, they can and will most likely fight.

• hedgehogs are nocturnal—they are asleep all day and are awake all night.

• hedgehogs live an average of 3-7 years.

• they are prickly, and if not given plenty of attention, they will remain as such for the duration of their life time.

• hedgehogs require a variety of live insects in their diet, so if you don’t like bugs, these aren’t the pet for you.

• hedgehogs absolutely MUST stay warm, and require a lightless heat source.

• hedgehogs poop A LOT.

• the cost of vet care for a hedgehog is very high, due to the fact that hedgehogs are exotic, and with exotic pets comes exotic vet prices because not all vets are very knowledgeable about hedgehogs.

• hedgehogs are illegal in many places, so if you live in a place where they are illegal, PLEASE DO NOT GET ONE.

• hedgehogs are not rodents, and should not be treated like or compared to your beloved hamster. Their needs are VERY different.

• did I mention that they poop a lot?

PLEASE SHARE THIS. My goal is to educate as many people as I can, and if that means we save the life of at least one hedgehog, then my job has been done.

Canes: Crime of the century, an update

[nhlrasmussen]

My new meds make my skin throw a fit. It’s not terribly bad, just a few things here and there, but it’s bumming me out because I’ve never really had too many run-ins with acne.

My four-year-old sister, however, is under the impression that it’s just “3D freckles”, and that they look very, very pretty. She wants all of my freckles to “pop out”, especially the ones across my nose; they’re her favourite.

And it puts me in this weird position where I can’t say, “No, this is acne, and it’s bad,” because I don’t want to teach her that it’s a bad to have unclear skin, you know?

Because the more I think about interactions I have with children, the more I realise that children will consistently compliment “flaws” until they’ve been taught not to.

Like, a kid at the library, whose sister has vitiligo, saw my scars once and suggested that his sister and I should be cats for Halloween, since I have “tabby skin” and she has “calico skin”. “I can be a black cat,” he immediately added. “It’s not AS cool, but they’re the spookiest.”

When I started losing weight, my little brother immediately demanded that I gain it back, because I wasn’t as comfortable to cuddle with anymore.

And my other little sister always wants to wear her paint-stained clothes to school so that “everyone can tell [she’s] an artist”.

I don’t know. I guess talking to little kids just reminds me that all of this superficial shit we worry about really is 100% made up.

my cat Meatball’s hanukkah sweater started kinda coming off, so my girlfriend went to fix it, and as she did so she said to him, in her most tender and maternal voice, “aww, is your shirt coming off? whore”
