I mean, as someone who as worked in a zoo, this is fairly true.

Obvious disclaimer that you shouldn't have wild animals as pets.

But like, cheetahs are the only large cats that keepers will do free contact with. Hell, even most small cats don't get free contact. (Because small cats can be VICIOUS. They'll have a baby pallas cat wearing thicker gloves than when handling an owl. Because small cats can just be vicious.)

Like I think the only other cat at our zoo where I've seen free contact with was servals? Because I know they've used servals in shows to demonstrate their natural jumping ability. But I know servals can sometimes have a mean temper as well. Meanwhile they'll do the cheetah run and afterwards put the mic by the cheetahs and it's just like an engine with them purring. It's fascinating to watch when the message in every other large animal is "no free contact because it's dangerous even when they're born in captivity".

Legit if any wild animal could be adapted to a pet it would be cheetahs lmao. Only problem is they can be skittish and very anxious and that's why they're often raised around dogs in zoos to gain confidence.

The more that I read different kinds of witch trial books, the more that I am insistent upon the theme of the witch trial not be relegated to simply a "feminist" issue. Because my favorite is two things: 1. No recognition for King James Bible being part of that political swing and rewriting versions of the bible to match his fervor. 2. Adamant denial of witchcraft and witches in general. Because how can we deal with the messiness of real witches. How can we deal with the messiness of witches who work with the devil. How can we deal with the messiness of witches cursing political entities. How can we deal with the messiness of witches doing world bending spellwork.

Because if it's just the case that the patriarchy is at work silencing "intolerable women" - it wouldn't have been as centralized as it was. Meaning to say, it's a particular brand of a very specific kind of Christianity which was very much tied with the political movement (and still is, if we are being so very honest today). Now, am I immune to the understanding of yes, this is in fact, a very largely impacting women thing. Yes, yes I am aware of this point and am not ignoring it. Specifically poor women. Specifically fat women. Specifically ill women. Specifically ugly women. Specifically disabled women. Specifically single women. Because existence is immoral for women as a beginning point for politicking and society under this particular situation. So I can agree that it is a feminist issue there that we need social change and societal change which makes it better for everyone.

But largely that happened in specific areas. Even this book recognizes that in certain Slavic countries, it was men that were primarily hunted because of cultural deviance from English / Anglo-Saxon / Protestant aesthetics.

So if we have to start from the fact that witches aren't real. That we ignore what was done, the culturally and politically motivated changes that Mr. James did as much as he could to socially reform the world he existed in to accept his ideals. And we stick with it being just the horrors women had to go through, then we miss a key component of the puzzle for the sake of comforting away from messy conversations around witchcraft as a whole.

And that's why I read these things because it's important to know what I am being denied while also what I am being sold.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
