Adopted

This past weekend, audiences everywhere got to see Dave Bautista back on the big screen raging it up as Glossu "Beast" Rabban in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, but all of the anger and violence we see from the character doesn't seem to represent the actual disposition of the man portraying him. Instead, the personality the wrestler-cum-actor demonstrates in interviews suggests that he is a kind person with a big heart – and that's an image that is very much perpetuated in a story he recently told about his new…

Nothing brightens up my day more than seeing my adorable cat curl up in my lap for a nap or run to the door to greet me when I get home from work. He might be a bit demanding when he’s hungry, and his teeth can be a little too sharp at times. But I wouldn’t trade that little guy for the world. Adopting an animal into your family can simultaneously change your life and theirs. We all need love and companionship, even furry little creatures, and knowing that you saved a precious animal from a life in a cage is a great…

Get ready to suffer a heart attack from the cuteness that you will experience in this listicle.

Maya Hawke does not have an office, but there is a spot three blocks from her apartment that does the trick. On a sunny winter’s day in New York’s West Village, the actor and musician is tucked into the nook of a cosy restaurant with a modish menu and a rustic patina. The place exudes studied nonchalance, but Hawke strikes me as less quiet luxury and more of a thrift store magpie; her hair is braided in plaits, and she wears a few fine necklaces that she absently toys with while chatting. Her baggy navy jumper was knitted…

People often talk about timing. “Now is not your time,” we tell each other when we fail a driving test or miss out on gig tickets. “Good things come to those who wait” is another phrase easily thrown around, which is quite often anger-inducing. For us, humans, it is annoying for sure, but for our four-legged pals, timing is everything as they have a very limited time on this Earth. Good girl Ginger waited for almost a decade at the shelter, never losing hope that one day her person would walk in and utter the phrase…

It can be pretty annoying when someone starts to make assumptions about who you are as a person when, in fact, they just know a tiny bit about you. So sometimes, a particularly petty person might decide to take revenge.A high schooler wondered if they went too far when they decided to pretend not knowing they were adopted to embarrass a substitute teacher. This devolved into a semantic debate, as OP had two fathers, which led to the teacher’s assumption in the first place. Netizens discussed who really was the jerk and…

I’m an animator, and after 7 years of working on feature films such as Klaus, Space Jam 2 and Sonic 2, I decided to leave the industry to work on my own project.For the past year, I’ve been making comics and videos about a firefighter called Tim who adopts a baby dragon called Bash. The series follows the day-to-day chaos that naturally accompanies the tempting yet unwise decision to adopt a fire-breathing, treasure-hoarding pet.The comic started to build an audience over the past year, aided by the live-action videos…

It’s a Christmas miracle! All dogs at an animal shelter have been adopted, leaving its staff rejoicing at the numerous empty cells.Just two weeks ago, the Adams County, Pennsylvania, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in the USA barely had any kennels left for dogs needing a new home.But in festive news, for the first time in nearly 50 years, the shelter doesn’t have any more dogs left as the four-legged residents are now busy spending the holidays with their new families.In a post on Facebook…
