A bear might kiill me. It might eat my corpse. But if I am very careful, move slowly, keep my distance, it will probably just… leave me alone.
A bear will ignore me if I say “no” because it doesn’t know language. I have known men who ignored my saying “no” when they insisted on giving me their phone number or I refused to say yes to a date, because what they wanted was more important and what I wanted did not matter at all. (Needless to say, they didn’t get a call back, or a date. A bear also might not stand back and watch without saying anything while one date-wanting guy pestered me on the clock at my job for at least 10 minutes because “you were handling it well,” the way my male boss did. Yeah, I handled it, but I would’ve appreciated it if he’d had my back as an employee if not as a woman… he didn’t.)
A bear might try to intimidate me with its size, but it won’t try to manipulate me or neg me or gaslight me; it will at least be honest about its intentions.
Hell yes, I choose the bear… and my own horror stories are far less bad than many other womens’.

I don’t know where to start with this. But leopards are eating faces.

Maybe if enough leopards eat enough faces, all the pro-leopard face eating people will be out of politics and we can get back to some normalcy…

I know someone whose brother killed their mother and grandmother. He has schizophrenia, and his mother had become an advocate for schizophrenics and other people with mental health issues. One day, when her son had gone off his meds, he started threatening her, so she got him to a hospital. They evaluated him, decided he wasn’t a threat to himself or others, and sent him home. That night, he killed his mother and grandmother while they slept. I believe he’s never even been found fit to stand trial, so he’s just going to be in an institution for the rest of his life.

IMNSHO, one more reason that SNL hasn’t been truly funny since the fifth season. And Lorne Michaels…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I’ve got a copy of An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live “Live from New York” As Told by Its Stars, Writers and Guests, c. 2002. If you can glom onto a copy, do so - it’s a great read and has voices of some who passed after it was published, like Penny Marshall; no John, Gilda or Phil, of course.
