The amount of racism cats experience on a day to day basis is frankly astonishing. I’m glad someone is speaking out

If you throw a surprise party for someone you have to know they don't have other plans. My ex threw one for me once - she made plans with me to see a movie. Then picked me up and was like "oh poo poo I forgot something at my house, quick detour" and all my friends were there.

Someone post the thread where a poc got reported by their white coworker at the pet shelter for saying something "you're looking fat and tasty you chonker" Apparently the white coworker 100% believed that the poc person was planning to kill and eat the animal after hearing that.

AITA for “causing a scene” at my girlfriends big night?quote:Me (25M) and Lauren (26F) have been dating for over two years. Overall we have a great relationship and a great support system of friends and family. Recently we’ve been having talks about getting engaged. Lauren has a full-time job but she’s huge into theatre. She acts in plays at the local community theatre. I will say that me and Lauren have different interests, I’m into sports and she’s into the fine arts. Our friend groups reflect this for sure, hers like galleries/wineries/shows, mine like to golf/tailgate. Our friends have mixed at events without issue, they don’t particularly interact but they aren’t rude to each other either. Now to the issue at hand.

Vim Fuego posted:oh man, this one made me laugh hard UPDATE: aita for perpetuating stereotypes about Jorts? Original HERE Thanks for responding to my query which had truly upset me. I work to have a good relationship with my team and the situation had gotten weird so gradually that I lost perspective. I just met with HR, she had already met with Pam. HR was concerned about Pam’s comparing ethnic stereotypes with giving a cat a doorstop and they addressed that which went well. HR will follow up to make sure Pam understands. (The replies to my query were helpful to me for this discussion.) HR also addressed Pam assigning other staff Jorts-related tutoring, as it is not appropriate for Pam to assign others work. This also went well. We both think Pam had a hard time with the transition from volunteer to staff, and may have “new kid” sensitivity projected to Jorts. Pam got emotional about her perception that I favor Jean over Jorts and gave specific examples. Some of these things are fair. Jorts deserves respect as a member of our team. There are 3 buildings in our workplace. Jean and Jorts are limited to one. HR told me there were 5 holdouts about vaccines, and restricting unvaccinated people from entering the building (to protect Jean and Jorts) was enough to win over 4 of them. That’s CRAZY, but great. More importantly: the cats’ presence greatly enhances our work with our clients, and Jorts’ friendly nature has been so great. Both cats truly are doing important work. Truly Jorts deserves to be treated with respect. We all deserve to be treated with dignity at work, so I will apologize to Jorts about some things that were insensitive or disrespectful. a. Jean has a nice cat bed with her name on it, while Jorts has chosen an old boot tray in my office with a towel in it. Recently a visitor put wet boots in the boot tray and Pam saw Jorts sleeping on the wet boots. I bought a bed for Jorts today and a name tag has been ordered. b. I will apologize to Jorts and remove the sign saying “DAYS SINCE JORTS HAD A TRASH CAN MISHAP: 0” Jorts likes to fish dirty paper cups out and he often falls into the bin or gets a cup stuck on his head, etc. (He is able to get out of the bin by tipping it over so it isn’t a safety issue.) c. Jean’s “staff bio” has a photo of Jean, while Jorts’ bio has a photo of a sweet potato. I did not actually know either cat had a staff bio, but we will use a photo of Jorts instead of a sweet potato. HR also suggested changing Pam’s duties so she is “in charge” of the cats. This I refused, the cats are my staff, not Pam’s. I think Pam was well-intended but actually not meeting the needs of either Jean or Jorts so they remain under my supervision. (Pam is also not to put cups on Jorts’ head or intentionally put him into frustrating situations given his unique needs.) Lastly, and this made us both laugh so hard we can’t deal with it in person and will be said via email: Pam admits that she has been putting margarine on Jorts in an attempt to teach him to groom himself better. This may explain the diarrhea problem Jean developed (which required a vet visit). Pam is NOT to apply margarine to any of her coworkers. Jean has shown she is willing to be in charge of helping Jorts stay clean. If this task becomes onerous for Jean, we can have a groomer help. I am crying laughing typing this.

AITA for not attending my daughters gender reveal for her lizard?quote:This is literally really stupid but she's really upset about it. So my (48) daughter (23) has a blue tongue skink who she heavily adores. She jokingly refers to it as her daughter, I've found it weird but she says it's because it's the closest thing she'd have to a child and she feels a strong emotional bond similar to a child. She has decided to remain child free for multiple reasons and I have been very supportive of this decision.

I didn't realize orange cats being dumb was even a thing. Come to think of it one of the smarter cats we had when I was growing up was orange (he figured out how to open the screen door on our porch and would open it to let the dogs and himself in whenever it rained).

Putting an image of a sweet potato instead of a picture of the orange cat is loving hilarious. One of my old roommates had a fat orange cat and the similarities to an actual sweet potato were striking.

She even made it clear the gender reveal part was a joke, so lambasting her for it and using it as a reason not to come to a gathering is in really poor taste and yes, comes off as bitter that it's not an actual grandchild.

Jorts having a photo of a sweet potato just shows that other people in the office totally buy into the dynamic and it's not just the OP, but Pam cannot stand it. What a great story.
