Bonjour!
Hello there beautiful people! My name is bint alshamsa and I’m going to be guest-blogging here at Feministe for the next two weeks. I’m not sure how to transition into a formal introduction, so I’ll just start by telling you a little about me. I was born and raised in the wonderful city of New [...]

That’s just one of several responses to the New York Times article about how women are less happy than men. As it turns out, though, the happiness gap is total bunk. Whoops. Thanks to Raquel for the link.

I have cats. My cats are murderers. I am their official documentarian. This, then, is last night in the kactus household: It’s hard being a chewtoy. A mouse caught in the headlights. A final act of defiance. Such is life. *Don’t be fooled by the dates on the pictures. That just means I didn’t get [...]

Well, I’m afraid that Sugarplum and Zuzu are now off the blog since I’m not going to expose myself to the sanctimoniousness of the self-appointed pet police again.

You want a love story? Here’s a love story. The other night Ethan and I sat down to dinner when we suddenly heard the signature sound of a horking feline. I peered around the corner to see Pablo straining against a hairball and Doug idly looking on. I made the somewhat sensible/somewhat gross decision to [...]

This is a rare action shot of Pablo. Note Doug in the background, briefly paused after hunting a stealth piece of kibble to lick his chops. And if you missed it the first time: Cats, Our Cute and Pathogen-Rich Friends

I took the cats to the vet this week and spent an extraordinary amount of money getting the kitties fixed up. Doug wants to go again, while Pablo is planning his escape. Long story short, Pablo curled up like a pill bug and refused to let the vet look at him, while Doug turned into [...]
