What's your opinion on barn cats/mousers? Are they an acceptable subset of "outdoor cat"?
Certainly barn cats pose the same problem as pets that live in more urban environments. They still hunt birds, spread disease, out-compete native wildlife— all that bad stuff. In an ideal world barn cats wouldn't exist so those things would all stop happening. I don't think harmful, invasive species are in any way "acceptable" and I definitely wouldn't encourage it.
At the same time though I do think sometimes the barn cat solutions proposed on tumblr (hiring ratting terriers among some other ideas) also seem a little... unrealistic. At least given my personal experience with farms and farmers, particularly in places far less populated and more remote than the USA. Asking people to get rid of their barn cats cold-turkey is an approach I think would see more pushback than progress.
Working towards better welfare for barn cats and restricting their impact on the environment through education, low cost spay/neuter/vaccine programs and limiting cats' range to the barn buildings only seem like more attainable goals right now. Barn cats are not good for the environment or the cat, but I think we need to take a more gradual approach to the issue than a rip-off-the-bandaid solution in order to make progress. As animal welfare laws continue to develop and indoor cats become the norm in urban areas I think that will also encourage the transition from rural outdoor cats to indoor ones as well.

Hello, everyone! Just popping in with a bare-faced, messy-haired, tired-eyed, been writing awhile face to say ‘Hey, we’re almost to Friday.’. ✌🏻😩✨💙😳
So chapter three of The Locked Door was posted almost a week ago! How have you all been enjoying it so far? The story is starting to get intense 👀😳😵💫✨😩 I hope you will join me for chapter four on April 6th at 11 AM EST time on archiveofourown.com. 💕
My username is: icaruswithwingsofwater
I’ve been doing a lot of writing recently. Working on the second book in the One She Let In series. I finished the outline for a chapter yesterday and have been working on actually typing it up today. It’s been fun. 😌
I had been experiencing a bit of writer’s block with this particular outline. I get this at times, like any writer or creative, and battle it. My mental health unfortunately worsens it and circumstances I’m currently fighting in my life have been making things hard as well too. At times when my block is difficult and I’m at a loss I am reminded of my favorite Studio Ghibli movie, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and I think of Ursula the painter who lives in the woods. I think of how she says to do nothing at all, doze off at noon, and soon your inspiration will return. That you fly with your spirit. And I did just that. I took a break. You just have to sometimes which is hard to admit to yourself that you have to do. So I guess my advice is the same as Ursula’s: When you lose your magic, take a break. Because you’ll find your inspiration again. ✨💜
From my heart to my wings,
Kate 💙

okay i am still working on that henry percy write-up but another angle i wish was explored more:
very few allow for the possibility that chapuys was exaggerating jane’s support of mary as heir to the throne to the extent he was because he’s gone beyond and arguably to some extent, even against charles’ advice/instruction in his support of jane and active role in the boleyn downfall, over any princess charles wanted him to wed when it became clear there would be a new english queen (consort)....
of course he’s lost face regardless, but the solution to minimize that (basically, for promising different outcomes than resulted and overestimating jane’s influence on henry and the power that would be hers once queen) might have been to repeatedly insist that jane was vehemently attempting intercession for mary and even to reinstate her as heir, but that henry was dead-set against this, and of course, nobody could ever have predicted this (it was within the expectations of the ambassador’s role to predict political outcomes, an element where chapuys was more often than not, an abysmal failure, particularly wrt this timeline)
aside from the one report of the bishop of faenza ( she has five times thrown herself publicly at the King's feet, requesting him to send for his daughter and declare her Princess), who was not the most reliable source of the tudor court, this is not corroborated by any other contemporary source beyond a report that mary sat at the king and queen’s table for meals (much later), and the later spanish chronicle. chapuys’ own eventual face-to-face meeting with jane preceding mary’s capitulation contained commitment from her that was soon interrupted by henry, although of course chapuys attempts to spin this as best he can and save face later when events plummet soon after:
the satisfaction of this people with the marriage was incredible, especially at the restoration of the Princess to the King's favor and to her former condition [...] begged her to favor her interests; which she said she would do [...] I begged him the day before, when he spoke about it, to take care that it did not contain anything which could directly or indirectly touch her right, or the honor either of herself or of the late Queen, her mother, nor yet her conscience; otherwise she would not consent thereto for all the gold in the world [...] Meanwhile I went to talk with this Queen's brother, whom I left very well informed of the great good it would be, not only to the Queen his sister and all their kin, but also to the realm and all Christendom likewise, if the Princess were restored to her rights; and I am sure he will use his good offices therein. [...] the King got into a great anger against the obstinacy and disobedience of the said Princess, showing clearly that he bore her very little love or goodwill [...] In this case it would be important for the Princess to be declared heiress, at least in case of no male heirs. Has some hopes of this from the demonstration lately made by the King, the Queen's goodwill to her, and the words of Cromwell. [...] it was proposed to deprive the Bastard and make [Mary] heiress [...] the matter proceeded so far that, in spite of the prayers of this Queen, which he rudely repulsed, the King called the judges to proceed according to law to the inquest and first sentence which is given in the absence of the parties [...] I even sent to [Cromwell] several times, when matters were so desperate, to advise the Princess to consent to the King's will, and I have since fully assured him that he should know before two months were over that there was no man in the world who had done better service in this matter than I. / the danger of interrupting our negociations for amity, in which the English proceed so coldly that I know not what to say / The ambassador writes that she was a maid of the late Queen, and afterwards of Anne Boleyn; that she is virtuous and kindly and welldisposed to the Princess, in whose favor she has spoken to the King, and that there were hopes of her being declared true heir in the parliament. / They have also renewed and aggravated the statutes against those who should use the name of Pope, which is also treason; and it is said they will cause the whole realm to be sworn again, in confirmation of the statutes against the Holy See, against the marriage of the late good Queen and the legitimacy of the Princess, to whom no one should dare give that title on pain of his life. / [...] doubted whether he should have any child by the Queen; for which reason he intended, in a few days, to declare the Princess heir of the kingdom / I think the Princess has acted more prudently, whatever Count Cifuentes and Doctor Ortiz may say, who in my opinion have not considered all the circumstances. / The Princess is well. Since her reconciliation to her father, she has been treated even with more ceremony than in times past. / As to the Princess, Cromwell tells me she will be declared heiress apparent without fail. / She is now served as Princess. / Chapuis writes on Sept. 2 that the Princess is well, and is served as Princess.
jane either over-promised or chapuys exaggerated the vehemence of her promise (he certainly did cromwell’s... ‘without fail’ indeed); edward it seems made no commitment at all (none chapuys reports, at least...) and yet he is ‘sure’ he will do his utmost to restore her to her rights.
the question becomes, what corroborating evidence do we have of chapuys’ reports on this dynamic as he reported? really it’s only mary’s letter to jane, which seems to be in response to a letter of support jane only wrote and sent after mary’s submission/capitulation (the copy of which has not, frustratingly, survived, although mary quotes it partially-- “no less full of motherly joy for my towardness of reconciliation than of most prudent counsel for my further proceeding therein"-- although it seems like jane was only able to keep one promise-- “of your goodness you promise to travel to bring to a perfection” was kept, but her request to “have in remembrance her desire to attain the King's presence” after the initial visit was not met for another five months-- “the delay of the coronation will do no harm except that the coming of the Princess to Court is put off till it takes place”).

Storytime (I hope someone finds this as hilarious as I do):
So, a few weeks ago, I held a little devotion[1] for my church's youth group. In said devotion, I cited the X-Men-cherik-fanfiction "Wrap me up, unfold me" by hllfire (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27035512/chapters/66002938) which I can only highly recommend, it's a "Jane Eyre"-inspired AU, in which Charles is basically Jane Eyre and Erik Mr. Rochester, only that Erik has a Jewish background and Charles a Christian one and even though both are not really practicing, Charles has still a lot of religious guilt during the beginning of his romantic and sexual relationship with Erik. This is where Erik declares the following quote:
"It always baffled me how your people are more
scared of the Devil and hell than scared of disrespecting God. You don't live to honor God, you
live to escape punishment."
This is what I used in said devotion for I found it rather poignant and sadly, quite true. So I talked about how our faith should have better reasons than that and so on, not central to the story.
Anyway, yesterday, I was sitting in the youth service of my church when suddenly, the co-priest starts talking about my devotion and then quotes me quoting said quote. Then goes off about this and talking about something else, but I just want to record the fact that he thusly quoted unknowingly from a story about two men falling in love.
And this is the story of how a quotation from a very gay fanfiction made its way into a Christian Sunday service. XD
( [1]basically a sermon without service, you're just saying some words, then sing one or two songs and you're done)
