Cats and more cats

Standard

I hate to say that I think humanity is beyond help, but most of the time I think this is true. When there are a handful of people hoarding obscene amounts of wealth, spending it on insanity, and ignoring the misery of the average person, and willingly exploiting him or her or them, I feel I can’t look any longer.

Therefore, I choose to look at cats. And see how best to contribute to their well-being on earth. I like to support God’s Little People Cat Rescue in Syros, Greece, and now you can see their work in the recent Netflix series, Cat People.

You can also actively donate to help them expand the sanctuary and support the health and well-being of the cats on the island. Every little bit, eh?

I’m a cat person but dogs have their uses, too.

A Dog After Love (-Yehuda Amichai)
After you left me
I let a dog smell at
My chest and my belly. It will fill its nose
And set out to find you.
I hope it will tear the
Testicles of your lover and bite off his penis
Or at least
Will bring me your stockings between his teeth.

Swedish advertising – “Från jord till bord”

Standard

I don’t actually watch TV on Swedish TV, but when I stream The Daily Show, I sometimes get Swedish ads… and the simplicity (possibly duplicity, knowing what we know about the world of factory farming) of this one from Lantmännen got to me. Who can resist a cat and a tractor with a nice Swedish voiceover? Oh, and a weird pizza with bananas on it!
