You should read the Tiger’s Curse series by Colleen Houck, I think. She’s an incredible writer, and based on the things you write, you might enjoy them.

Books 1-4 are the main ones, so the 5th is optional. I cried (happy and sad) several times while reading them and I’ve since reread at least twice. I’ve owned the books for about seven years.

Honestly, they’re kind of fanfiction-y, because they were written in the mid 2000’s, so around the Twilight era. But it’s still a really good series. (Read: I love immortal Indian tiger prince fanfic)

Chapter 24 was phenomenal, as usual. You bless us every day :)

I'm going to have to look into that 👀👀👀

This was not on my 2023 bingo card

made me think of this

[deadsince1973]

Does anybody else remember how Tiger King made it out like Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin were doing the same thing?

That both of them were abusing animals?

That they were both abusing their employees, Joe Exotic by paying them a pittance and feeding them rotten meat, Carole Baskin by working her "employees" for more than forty hours a week for no pay?

How the show never clarified that Carole Baskin's Big Cat Rescue is an accredited sanctuary that legitimately helps big cats?

How the show never mentioned that Big Cat Rescue is a registered nonprofit, and that Joe Exotic's accusations that she was lying and manipulating her employees to get them to work for free is at best misleading, because they were legitimate volunteers who were knowingly donating their time to help big cats?

Does anybody else think it's weird that the one woman in the cast was the only one intentionally misrepresented to make her seem like a much worse person than she was?

That there was a stronger backlash against the one woman in the show than there was against Joe Exotic, even though she was the only person in the cast *not* abusing animals OR other people?

I just think that's weird.

Has enough time passed since 2020 for us to agree that Carol Baskin did nothing wrong and honestly her biggest sin was being a little odd?

[0ptopop]

Peter: Mr. Stark, do you believe that Carole fed her husband to tigers?

Tony: Well-

Carol, running into the room: I did no such thing! I’m not even married!

Peter: Sorry, not you, Carole Baskin.

Carol: Oh, well yes I think she did.

For International Tiger Day: On Some Tiger Kings, Queens, and Jokers

Yes, I know. Joe Exotic is so 2020. I had contemplated doing a post on him when he first made his big splash that year, but (much like, let’s say, a cat) I always resist moving with the herd. In my previous post for International Tiger Day I said I’d do a post about Joe Exotic on his birthday but when the moment came I couldn’t bring myself to. I’m not interested in celebrating him or his ilk,…

Working for me is not something that needed to be survived. I was a great boss and no one died. Carole Baskin can’t say the same. Just ask her husband oh wait you can’t. 🐅🐯

My girlfriend’s perception of Tiger King: “The other three (Joe, Carole, Doc) were at least fun crazy. Jeff isn’t fun. He’s just creepy.”
