- Neuter your dogs, people!
Katie is obsessed with this topic because her dad writes about it. But she knows nothing about this issue and how spay/neuter impacts shelter populations and she also doesn’t care because it doesn’t impact her.

United States16 days ago - Why neuter children than?
Great show with Katie Herzog & her decision not to cut off Moose’s nuggets. She should have asked those UC Davis researchers why so many groovy people in their community won’t neuter their dogs now, but they’re eager to neuter their children with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and bilateral mastectomies.
Apple Podcasts5Mama Ain’t Playin’United States17 days ago - Wetware
Scariest thing I’ve heard yet. Cyborgs inbound… when the sine wave/white noise soundscapes was playing, I was walking my dog and jump-scared at the white noise… there’s rattlesnakes about, and my mind turned white noise into snake. In other words, the training seems to work on complex wetware as well. Sheesh.
