Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter took to her Instagram a week ago to share her own "Amy Cooper" experience.

Like anyone who has an animal member of the family, I absolutely did not expect to fall as head over heels as I did. The sheer love you feel for a pet can transcend even certain human relationships. As someone who is not really a proponent of children (I think they're great but they're just kind of small and dumb... through no fault of their own, of course), bringing home a new kitty is as if you have a new baby in the house only the cat has the ability to use the bathroom, feed and bathe itself.

ICYMI: 3 Overlooked TV Shows with At Least 3 Seasons
I build emotional connections to TV shows. Sometimes these connections aren't super serious, we see each other when we can and if we don't, it's no big deal. I'll maybe watch their Christmas special every year and wish them the best.

How Nicky Doll has utilized self-isolation to unite countless Drag Race fansTop Story - April 2020
As social distancing measures continue to (rightfully) be a mandatory practice in numerous countries, many strive to feel some kind of human connection through various social media platforms.
