Black Cats by Daniel Arthur
Clients Cancelling.
An article about clients cancelling their bookings with sex workers, how it's inconsequential to the client and can be financially devastating to a sex worker, and the resentment and desperation I feel when it happens to me.

“I never let my chronic illness stop me from doing things!”
That’s nice, I do. Not listening to my body is part of what got me this bad. Sometimes you have to balance taking care of yourself and achieving your ultimate goals.
i’m obsessed with shows like supernatural, teen wolf, etc. where a person gets attacked and the doctor in the ER is immediately like “it looks like they were attacked by a wolf” like it makes me FEEL INSANE
HOW many wolf attacks is the average US ER doctor seeing to make this instant assessment
as a wildlife biologist I wouldn’t assume a wolf attack unless the victim was found while being Actively attacked by wolves
It’s a different thing in the USA we actually have wild animals.
I’m American. I got my degree in West Virginia. There have been 2 (MAYBE 3, it’s a little unclear) verifiable fatal wolf attacks in All of North America since at least as far back as 1900. I promise no doctor is assuming wolves when a patient gets rolled in. That said, this post is just a joke
So, in this case, what a doctor will assume?
Asking for a writer.
I’m not a doctor, but from the wildlife perspective, I’d assume dogs first if the person were in-town. MAYBE a bear, depending on where you are. Grizzly country and black bear country are different. If you need a character to get attacked by a wild animal, just start by googling historic cases of animal attacks in the setting.
ALSO, I know it’s fiction, but I hope writers start thinking more about our responsibility when we portray wildlife. Fiction has done a lot of damage to predator species for centuries, so it’d be nice to start portraying them more realistically.
I’ve only ever been attacked by an animal in the wild once. I was in a the woods of a state park.
It was a feral domestic cat, orange tabby.
*person attacked by a werewolf is wheeled into the ER* “it looks like they were attacked by a… very big raccon?”
*vampire victim wheeled in*

Good video showcasing exactly why these dogs are not suited to 99 percent of households.
They've gotten very popular recently and I suspect theyre also being dumped in shelters at a high rate
I can confirm they are.
Which is one of the reasons I reblogged this, I vaguely hope it might make someone somewhere reconsider their choices
