    I haven’t read the book either but I heard this Lolita podcast series and it was a great breakdown about how it was misinterpreted. I couldn’t believe everything I knew about it from mainstream media was off.

    Will definitely be checking out your video!

      Jamie Loftus’ Lolita podcast? She’s AMAZING. I love when she* is a guest on Behind the Bastards too!

        Jamie being a unisex name, I dunno if “she’s amazing” is the typo or “he is a guest” is.

              Thank you, much love. It’s looking promising. About 2k USD more than our highest expectations though before we took him in @c@

              Gonna make a GoFundMe for the first time and share it with my workmates and friends. I feel bad doing it because I feel there’s more important causes, but he’s not even four yet and he’s so important to us… not to mention his twin brother.

                  I made the fundme for friends and workmates and I appreciate your offer sooooooo dang much but I have privacy autism stuff and I don’t know how to PM things on Lemmy… I left Reddit after Apollo died and PMs were easy there but yeah. You’re a wonderful person for offering and both my partner and I are so thankful for your offer. Much love :3

                I hope he recovers swiftly! In past emergencies (we have some dumb dogs…) I’ve had luck posting to reddit and Instagram, there are some charitable strangers out there!

                  Thank you so much! I use my real name so I can’t post it for strangers, but I’m insanely lucky to have some friend support already <3 I’ve been prefacing it with “I don’t expect anything from this but we made this because it was such a shock.” No chance we’ll hit the goal of The Amount™ but if we exceed it we’re donating anything extra to a no-kill shelter.

                  For context he’s a 4YO cat with a littermate brother who is very distressed right now, not knowing where his brother is. Outlook is good, so we’re thankful.
