What do you do when you read something that makes you feel wrong inside, and you need something to get it out of your head so you can return to the better mood you were in before you knew about it?
I know we have enough things happening today that warrant more attention than things that happened 50+ years ago, but it makes me a little sick inside anyway.
I was just reading a page from TV Tropes about audience alienating premises. A movie based on this story was mentioned that squicked people out, and it was toned down from what Gertrude really did.
I read cat rescue stories and videos.
SOmetimes you need to just switch off with brainfluff.
