Ok. Your recommendation to read the FAQ about the abused animal and your posting of that extract from it, seemed to imply otherwise.

No licensed vet would ever say a morbidly obese cat is 'fine'.

The owners fed the cat into morbid obesity, that was the diet it was on.

That cat was too fat to 'work out'. At that size, it would have been in pain from the strain on its joints after walking to its food bowl.

The cat died prematurely due to this abuse, I don't even have to check the age it died to be able to tell you this.

Stop defending animal abusers.

However, the Treasury is in discussions about keeping the money to use it for unrelated purposes at a time of huge pressure on the public finances and rising debt interest costs.

Yeah, that money is never going to be spent on cleaning up sewage spills.

I'm not interested in seeing excuses for abuse. They made a blog about their abused cat and people follow it and like the images because this abuse is considered 'cute'. It's sickening.

Is SIA involved?

And raided the homes of the released Palestinian hostages families so they wouldn't talk to journalists or celebrate publicly.

It's horrifying how animal abuse is seen as cute and funny by so many people, and considered an acceptable topic for a tumblr blog.

In an ideal world, the owner of that cat should be banned from owning animals and prosecuted.

Puberty makes everyone emotional, regardless of gender. Women are not in constant puberty, and are not constantly overflowing with emotions.

And while some women may have strong support networks that allow them to be more openly emotional, that is not the baseline for all women and it never has been.

Men are not better at containing their emotions either, if they were violent crime and sexual harrassment would be much less of an issue.

This idea that if women aren't behaving like men about their problems, they must not be having problems- is a really short sighted one.

(All uses of 'men' and 'women' here are trans inclusive.)

I like boiling a bag of fresh soya beans and eating them plain while watching stuff.

Chana dal with aloo paratha (chickpea curry with potato filling stuffed in a fried bread) is probably my favourite beans based meal though.

Also as a brit, baked beans on hot (plant)buttery toast is very comforting on occasion.

Think of mushy peas like British hummus. It's literally just mashed up beans and you can dress it up however you like.

I like mushy peas on toast with sliced tomato, salt and pepper and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Mushy peas are boiled marrowfat peas, which have a completely different taste and texture to mashed garden peas.

They're delicious though, and very filling, especially served with chips or other carbs.
