What sort of response could measure up to the occasion? White’s idea was as simple as it was audacious.

So many cats rescued by this wonderful person. Worth a bit of support, if only to say thank you
If you've got a spare $5, our rescue could use a little help clearing vet fees and feeding kittens. And look at that abysmal photo of JJ when he was brand new!
Some super sick tip kittens, plus all the usual rescue expenses.

It’s not until you live here—really live here—that you understand the enormity of Katrina. This is a city anchored in heritage, in family, in neighborhood. The storm uprooted and dispersed families and destroyed their neighborhoods. It tore the heart out of New Orleans. www.imdb.com/title/tt3562...

Oh. I see. So not only is my story not a good fit for your list, it’s not a good fit for anyone’s list.
Ok. Good to know; thanks.

Homophone alert: Chances are the horror film you watched was grisly. But unless it contained bears it was not grizzly.

Turns out I’m an art gallery that sells hot dogs.
my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries
- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support
youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.

Breaking this tissue box down for recycling I found this message. IDK what's more interesting, that someone felt it necessary to make it absolutely clear where to put the glue — or that they did so in English, on a product made in China.
