Cat jumps on imam leading Ramadan prayers in Algeria

A live broadcast captured the moment a cat jumped on an imam, who was leading a nightly Ramadan prayer in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria.

Imam Walid Mehsas was praying Taraweeh, a nightly prayer occurring every evening during the month of Ramadan, when the cat jumped on him and climbed on his shoulders.

This makes so much more sense than "they canceled your favorite show because you weren't posting hard enough"

Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.

also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.

|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.

Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.

I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.

Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.

As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:

- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance

- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard

- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.

Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.

I was one of the people who ordered something decaf at Starbucks only for them to have made it caffeinated and seem to have put in at least a couple shots of espresso and spent the day having panic attacks. Don’t do this shit to people

Also, even if it won’t harm them at all, if you respect people’s bodily autonomy then you can’t compel them to eat something without their consent (and knowledge is necessary for consent)

karleyn

Basic rule of thumb for the people for whom someone elses bodily autonomy and consent aren’t enough reason:

Do not feed anyone anything you don’t want to have to answer for in court.

They may be ordering soy milk because they feel fancy about it.

Our they may order it because if you give them regular milk, they might die there and then and you killed them. Whether you intended that to be the outcome or not it’s irrelevant.

They may order gluten free because it’s so trendy.

Or they may do it because eating gluten means huge pain and, if repeated, irreversible damage to their internal organs.

They may be ordering meat-free because it makes them feel superior.

Or they might have some trauma related to eating meat that could lead to them gagging or even throwing up trying to eat meat, not to mention potentially giving them mental problems.

And for all these cases there are in-betweens.

I drink regular milk with no trouble whatsoever but I do like some of the plant-based alternatives as well. It’s variety.

However, whatever scenario we talk about, violating someone’s trust and consent is bound to make their day worse and you should not do that under any circumstances.

“I didn’t know it was for real” is not gonna bring anyone back from the dead and in any justice system worth the paper it’s laws are printed on its not going to help you in front of the court.

Respect people’s choices, people have the right to eat or not eat whatever they want

I’m allergic to soy. I didn’t know this until I was 28 or so. Before that, I avoided soy because my Mom had inflammatory breast cancer that could be exacerbated by soy. So soy was monitored in my house. Then I moved to Taiwan. I tried roasted edamame beans, and they were delicious. And made me so sick to my stomach. Vomiting and diarrhea and just feeling terrible. I thought I just got sick (flu, stomach bug, etc.) But it kept happening. Tofu, edamame, soy milk. Didn’t matter, it made me ill. So, I quickly learned the phrase “buyao soya” (I don’t like soy).

I had made friends with a big group of expat English teachers. And several were rabid vegans. I would mention when we went out to eat that I could not have soy as I was allergic. This was of course met with scoffs, because “no one’s allergic to soy!” Fun fact, it’s one of the major food allergens.

One day, a friend’s band was playing at a vegan place, and I was there with some friends. We were doing a group order, and I told them just to not order me anything with soy, but I had to run to the toilet. I came back and the food came. My friends asked me how it was, and I said it was good. The looked smug, and said, we knew you’d like tofu if you just had it right! I was so upset. I had to stop eating everything, and not 30 minutes later, I am back in the toilet sick as anything. My friends couldn’t understand why I was so sick. I finally said,“ Would you feed someone peanuts if they had a peanut allergy?” No, of course not! “Then why,” I asked, “did you think it was ok to trick me into eating soy when it makes me sick?” I told them I couldn’t trust them anymore, and now I was going to miss a friend playing in his band. I apologized to my friend, explained what happened, and said I’d catch their next performance. I was sick for two days.

Oddly enough, there was a vegetarian place that I loved, but I would always say buyao tofu/soya, and they finally said, “You always say buyao soya, do you not like it?” I told them, “No, I like it, but it does not like me!” They laughed, but understood that I had a food allergy, and from then on they would say, “Oh, don’t get that one, it has soya! You can’t have it!”
