polefrompole asked: Hi!
I read your recent post and I thought I'd ask you: I live in a god forsaken country where they don't sell lab blocks for rats (or deliver apparently), and I read that I could give them dog food with some homemade cereal mix ( rice, wheat, soy beans etc ). Is that enough and will they eat that in the first place (I mean the dog food :) )? (They're two males, Sigmund and...

People, stop fucking buying rats before knowing...
passionforpitbulls:

“plz help my rat won’t play won’t come out of his cage won’t let me hold him I have had him for almost a year why doesn’t he like me?”
Breaks my heart. Because I know these people would never intentionally hurt their pets, but it makes me sad that people go into this kind of thing semi-blind. I know they have the animal’s best interests alone, but rats really aren’t a quick and...

My Funny Valentine
nolantjones:
It’s a precarious line with artists, especially “unproven talent”, when it comes to what you share beyond your art. Is your life really as interesting as you think it is? Probably not… or maybe so. I make no claim the following is interesting to anyone but me, but today I’ll risk indulging myself.
We all have agendas, especially starting out in storytelling. Things we’re going...
