Honestly I've never seen so many mice (and shrews) as since we got our 2 cats. One couldn't give a shit but the other hunts and brings things home to play

It's deeply saddening. There is an undercurrent of hostility to "other" in England, maybe it is in human nature I don't know... But it can be fed and allowed to grow and spread and that is what is happening currently. It doesn't have to be this way π

This is a question I know I could answer myself if I listened but I've lapsed into a backlog and now am intimidated by the deficit .. but how child friendly are these tales? Especially this medusa one. I ask as our 5 year old adores a book of greek myths I read him at bedtime. As a follow up..

It's clear even to me that these people have no interest in actually serving the public or being accountable, they just want power and to get their own way, everything else is an obstacle to be removed.

It does seem to me that USA is doing turbocapitalism, you're doing capitalism harder than everyone else. It's like worship of the wealthy, a system built around them. No one else says quite as brazenly that the whole point is to get wealthy beyond all reason, by trampling everyone beneath you.
