I could be completely wrong about this but I would maybe suggest finding some form of vocal trainer for your vocal issues. Someone who trains singing or other vocal skills may be all you need to help you find the voice you desire.

You may well be right. If that helps trans people, it could be available on the NHS, so that is something my GIC might know about.

august-phoenix on Is x-kit a bit broken for anyone else?

I think some people started calling him names and stuff and just basically being a dick to him so he gave up.

D: Why would anyone do that to him. X-kit actually made Tumblr useable.

How does it feel to know your one of the most Famous of these people?

I think it doesn't really feel like I am very famous! Hehe. :) Plus I have no idea whether or not I *am* famous; it's very difficult to judge from where I'm standing, because I don't really talk to people who don't know who I am...

Animal welfare

august-phoenix replied to your post: Catdoom - some solutions

I would please ask that no one put their cat out at night. As hunters they are more deadly to the local birds and other wild life that really needs to be protected.

While I do accept that lots of birds that used to be common are now endangered because of domestic cat ownership, I will not be keeping my cat indoors. She is miserable and restless and destructive of the house if I keep her indoors; there goes my £900 deposit and my reference. If I get more worried about the local bird population (and I do worry) than I do about my cat, I will stop owning cats in future.

I have found a compromise, which is making her wear a bell. I know it won't help with all prey creatures, but it's better than nothing, and she's been wearing it since she was a kitten so she's used to it. I think most cat-adopters are aware of their cat's evil murderous side, and that's something we have to accept when we start caring for our cats.

It sucks, I know. I hate the idea of the endangered birds dying because of my cat. But when I got my cat it was necessary for my wellbeing, and her going outside is necessary for her wellbeing, so there comes a point where I have to be selfish.

The bell is a good addition and it will help, what I was asking more was not to put them out at night as this is when they are at their most deadly and when a lot of the prey animals go out to get food. Thanks for taking this into consideration.

Since she's a nocturnal animal, she's going to be a lot more relaxed if she can go out and hunt at night. She does sometimes come on walks with me in the day, and she's been wanting to go outside a lot today after sun-up. I shall see how it goes. I'm hoping that with the bell the stronger animals can escape from her, and the weaker animals that are slow or injured and would probably be killed by something else will be the only ones she can kill.

As long as she can run around, chase things (not necessarily successfully!), and scratch stuff with her claws to keep them short, then I think she'll be much happier. She's been very twitchy the past few weeks because she's not been out much, and now she's gaining courage so I'm really pleased!
