More dog owners are questioning vaccines like rabies after COVID
  • I've recently encountered a cat rescue that rehomes their feral cats without giving them their rabies vaccines and NOT disclosing this. Ask me how I know and am 11 needles deep....they asked me to lie to public health and maintain that rabies isn't actually necessary and I wasn't really put at risk (?!)

    It's fucking ludicrous and public health barely responded.

    I am all for saving and rehoming ferals but holy hell VACCINATE AGAINST RABIES. The reason it's not as prevalent is BECAUSE OF THE VACCINES.

  • Bookworms of Lemmy, what are you currently reading?
  • I just finished Tatouine by Jean-Christophe Réhel.

    I LOVED this book. It was written from the first person POV and tons of pop culture references but I was really sucked in and enjoyed the read.

  • Do you have a diabetic cat/dog?
  • I had an insulin resistant horse. That was a huge management challenge. I was fortunate enough to have her at home, I don't know how I would have managed it if she was boarded out and I had to rely on another to ensure she got her meds/no access to sugar, etc.

  • What is a product you'll pay a little more for?
  • It's pretty niche and it's not "a little more"..more like double...but as an equestrian I will always go big name for a saddle. Spent too many years compromising and there is SUCH a significant difference that I will never go sub $2000 for a new saddle.

  • What is your all time favourite movie?
  • I showed it to my fiance and while I ADORED the rewatch he was very meh and I was questioning him as a person. Then one day he asked me to watch it again so he could watch Andre the Giant again. And then, I'm convinced, it spoke to him and showed him the magic. He loved it. Quoted it. And will watch it with me when I have it on.

    I really think mindset and willingness to dive into it is a necessity.

    God, what a beautiful movie.

  • Shoppers upset over lack of cashiers as self-checkout use soars | CBC News
  • It scared the hell out of me the first time because it somehow knew what I had in my arms and I didn't know what to scan to check out. But the items kept appearing and I didn't know if they were actually mine or not and it was a very creepy black mirror-esque experience for me.

    Great store though, really impressed.

  • Bluesfest
  • Personal update: I went last night for Foo Fighters and it was horrendous. Worst Bluesfest experience to date and I've been attending consistently for what feels like ages.

    The line to get in was big but efficient. Food took 40+ minutes. Bathroom line took 20 mins.

    I hated how/where the stage was set up and the sound was awful where I could finally nab a spot.

    The worst part was the crowd-- everyone seemed oblivious to why they were there (to see a band) and just had exceedingly loud conversations. I couldn't even hear Dave speak because the crowd talking around me totally drowned him out. Part could be the bad sound also. I mean I don't expect you to be quiet but why are you in the middle of a crowd yelling "so, where are you from ? Where'd you go to school?" Go to a bar?!

    Maybe I'm just old now but man I was frustrated!

  • Guide to stains
  • While some of it does seem suspect, the blood + hydrogen peroxide is totally legit. It's actually amazing to watch the stain disappear before your eyes. Very, very useful. And I can't believe I waited 25 years into my menstruating life to determine this.

    What I would like to know is how to get a tajin stain out of a white tank top. I recently had a margarita with a tajin rim and some got on my shirt... I didn't think it'd be an issue so I washed and dried my tank and when I pulled it out, it appears to have dyed the fabric and I'm very sad about it.

  • Hotel > AirBNB
  • I will take a hotel for it's convenience, service, and predictability any day.

    Beds are comfy 99% of the time, there's an ice machine, and my god I'll take any opportunity for room service/being waited on.

  • Bluesfest

    Who's going? How's it been?
