As far as artist signatures go, Jan van Kessel’s 17th-century painting of his name in caterpillars and snakes must be up there with the best. More on the unique work here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/jan-van-kessel-s-signature-of-caterpillars-and-snakes-1657
you know, i don't remember
If you're a trans man/transmasc falling to the trap that transfems are your enemy 🫵 DON'T. Transfems are our friends and sisters/siblings in arms and generalization of an entire demographic due to one or two of them hating your identity is the wrong way to go about it. You also need to remember it's really easy to just open a blog or send an anon and claim you're a transfem and that all of your transfems friends hate transmascs. Stop listening to what some bigots on the internet say and make friends with transfems and you'll see believing they all suck is a pitfall trap that only lead you to dark places. Don't trust anyone that claims you're only safe with people that share your identity.
Literally all transfems I've met loved transmascs (specially because I was the first one they met) and we easily swapped tips and talked about being trans together with no issue. This divide is totally fabricated. Stop falling for it. Support your trans sisters and listen to their lives experiences NOW.
Useful life hack: Drop out of society and go do gay shit w/ your friends
#one day I will#with the beautiful women in my phone
Useful life hack: Start an encrypted Signal chat with the beautiful women in your phone. Meet up w/ them in the woods.
I need to lock the fuck in? No, I need to lay the fuck down.
This is a hard thing to hear but i genuinely say it with care and best wishes:
Keep using your brain and trying that hard thing no matter how foggy. Feel stupid! It's ok! I promise you are not stupid. I promise your brain will appreciate it. And that with time it will be valuable that you tried.
It's so easy to lose a whole week to brain fog. But your brain and body don't just stop existing that week (though it can feel that way). It's so important to try to incorporate puzzles anyway. Cook a meal from a scratch, do a jigsaw, the wordle, sudoku, use your other hand, learn a new card game, watch a brand new show, do simple math equations, write words backwards, learn a new language (or even just random phrases from a few), play a podcast, read a fun article or magazine, try a new creative project. Something! To help you feel better longer and keep your brains synapses synapsing.
Find a way to push yourself into it. Ask a friend to do it with you, set a timer, build it into your routine, have a bunch of fun games on your phone, puzzles by the bed, set your google to open straight to wordle.
TO CLARIFY: neuroplasticity is magic. And CONTRARY to prior belief it does not just stop after like 25. The brain can recover in exceptional ways so if you feel behind, or feel like you lost so much of what you knew due to a deep spell of illness or depression or injury; it's never too late. Never too late to nuture your brain to a better state of health.
So have a glass of water, take a deep breath and please join me in feeling really stupid trying to finish a "simple" puzzle and know we are all doing a very good job. ❤️
we need to be weirder & so so earnest now more than ever

look boss, our quarterly "subjection to the brutalities of the Absurd" budget is almost blown already. can we not just shoot this one twice in the back of the head and call it a day?
This is a good time to make sure that everyone in your broader community is using Signal and knows how to anonymize their identity on it. This flier offers QR codes to make it easy. You can print out this design here:
https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/09/signal.pdf
You could use the blank space on the flier to add a third QR code directing people to a local announcements-only Signal thread to stay abreast of developments.
You can learn how to set one up here:

Actually I wasn't born in the wrong body I was just born in my body and then it was up to me to decide what I want to do with that
unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.
Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.
Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.
By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.
There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.
That's queerbaiting.
Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.
The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.
Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.
I think this pride month we should all get normal about trans men/mascs with long hair
If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.

LOBOTOMIZE YOUR MACHINES
AI is a freacking plague, I share this for any windows user.
Here's a couple more, one AI and one just annoying ad tracking.
Just to be clear: there is no nuance. Cats are an invasive species in the MAJORITY of the world with exceptions around the cradle of civilization in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, parts of Egypt, and surrounding areas because felis domesticus(sp?) is descended from felis lybica (sp?), the african wildcat. And it could be arguable there even, because of domestication and whatnot. Debate that for yourselves.
And it sucks that TNR has not been working. But it hasn't. Cat populations are still exploding, kitten season is worse every year, municipal shelters are overrun if they exist, and feral cats are still leading short and terrible lives that end oft painfully. So they need to be handled like an invasive species through trapping and humane euthanasia when feral. Sorry that it sucks, but it does.
And keep your damn cats contained. If you let them outside, cat proof your outside. It's not hard, you're just lazy and don't care about your cat. And don't use disability as an excuse - find a different way or just *KEEP THEM INSIDE*
um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.
prev tf do you mean chronically american post does your country not have wildlife that cats can kill or predators that eat medium sized mammals lmfao. i’m a big fan of hating usamericans but frankly this is a worldwide problem, though i do hope you’ve just missworded something.
I meant it about the coyote, and because passionate defence of keeping cats indoors is something i relate to usamericans, maybe not my best moment i give u that but it's my opinion, as far as i know street cats are like, part of life not a "worldwide problem" 🤷
if it is not a problem in your country then likely your country doesn’t have a dedicated campaign against outdoor cats. but that doesn’t mean that street cats are benign, again that’s just a bad view of how animals work, cats around the world kill an astronomical amount of small mammals, reptiles, birds and insects - it might surprise you to learn that cats are predators everywhere, not just in the US. i gave an example from my experience - i live in australia and cats kill between 390-546 million animals here yearly. it would be very arrogant of you to assert that your country would be any different, likely it just isn’t talked about. and so again, big fan of mocking usamericans but not only is OP not usamerican, street cats are universally problematic, even if you are ignorant of their dangers. so yeah, they are a worldwide problem and are an invasive species just about everywhere because of the advantages given to them by being domesticated. you likely think of it as a usamerican problem because usamericans dominate the anglophone internet i would advise learning more about it instead of remaining incurious and ignorant.
Ok first things first: I left those tags in that post because I do think, and this is my main point, that keeping an animal indoors all its life is cruel, and if you don't want to let it out at least you should have a garden or space outdoors for it to roam.
Now, I know people are very passionate about cats for some reason and I'm not trying to argue if it's a problem or not, I know there are studies that say it is, so by all means, you're correct (although I'm sure there are worse problems than street cats for local wildlife worldwide).
My problem with that discourse is how people treat it as universal and I think is a cultural thing. Street cats are part of life here, and you just keep them out of the house or let them live in your garden, it's a rural area and they're seen as animals and not pets. Sometimes the council monitors the big communities and neuters them. Thinking about "keeping them inside" is absurd, again they're seen (and live) as a wild animal, so enforcing this would be impossible.
I guess your argument has more weight in a big city or if you apply it to house cats, if only for their own wellbeing because they don't know how to live in the wild, but in rural areas (at least where I live) it just loses all sense. Again I'm not saying street cats are good for the local habitat. I am saying it's stupid to preach "keep your cats inside" as a blanket statement because there are places where its impossible to apply, hence, my tags, I mainly see this discourse by usamericans or in English speaking spheres, maybe because in other parts of the world it's an absurd given the context.
It's a little arrogant of you to tell people you barely know to "educate themselves" or calling them ignorant just because they don't see eye to eye with you. The world is very big and the circumstances are very different depending where you are
you’ve misread what i said, i don’t care about the impact to street cats, and yes you are ignorant if you think that ‘there are people dying Kim’ is a sufficient rebuttal to ‘stray cats are contributing significantly to the unprecedented decline of small animal populations’. it’s not discourse and science is universal, unfortunately for you this is not a cultural problem! responses to it are, and hiding behind ‘well i’m not in the US’ to defend your insistence that street cats are fine actually, is actually the cultural problem. i’m unsure how this is confusing!
there are ways to give indoor cats enrichment, and again if you’d educated yourself (a fine thing to say to a stranger remaining stubbornly ignorant of how ecology works) instead of insisting that street cats are benign, you would’ve found these strategies yourself! again, this view that indoor cats are the worse problem is cultural, and it being cultural doesn’t stop it from being unscientific and wrong. again i’m sorry that you are so arrogant as to think that nonanglophone countries are not suffering an extinction crisis, but it is interesting that you take umbrage at being told to educate yourself but have assumed that your nonanglophone identity is one that i must have no insight into, and might not have considered and discounted as being relevant. i don’t particularly care what your country does or doesn’t do! it doesn’t change the fact that street cats, by virtue of ALL animals EVERYWHERE in the world NOT JUST THE US, need to eat, and thus KILL NATIVE ANIMALS.
and lmfaooo discourse okay yeah the earth is round is also discourse. to flat earthers. is the earth not round outside of america?
Colonies are often found in Spanish towns and cities, causing bad smells and health risks, some residents complain
Domestic cats are cherished human companions, but a new study shows the enormous breadth of species the felines prey on when they are left t
here, not just the US!
Ok. As per my last reblog
And
And
Also:
Nowhere in there I talked about the US
I use discourse because English is not my first language, but I do feel like acting like this is a pressing issue it does fall in it's category.
Also maybe you think going through my blog to check my nationality to add your sources for an internet argument you're giving far too much importance to is a flex but I find it creepy af
So the correct answer to street cats is to trap and euthanize them. Street cats lead short, horrible lives full of disease, injury, fighting, hunger, and litter after litter of kittens until they die cruel, painful deaths at the hands of predators, cars, starvation, or disease after a handful of years.
It's weird to not care, actually. It's weird and cruel to throw your supposedly beloved pet out into that for "enrichment" because you're too lazy to play with your cat or make a secure car space or garden or yard or to use a leash.
So, for everyone with outdoor cats: with the rise of spay-abort and T&E, don't be surprised if your cat gets picked up in a trap, fixed, and adopted out if friendly or euthanized if not.
Wanting a garden for your pet to have free space is abuse and treating them like an animal (which they're )it's a moral failing?
You people don't know what farms are? You don't know there are free roaming animals in rural areas? They don't get euthanized or adopted because people feed them and take care of them because they're probably someone's! Street animals have worse lives than house pets? Yes that's true, and I get it if you put your house cat on a leash in the city to go out and make sure it's safe and doesn't run away but my dude. Not everywhere is the same. And again I'm not trying to argue cats aren't bad for the areas they live in, I'm just saying the blanket statement of "keep your cat indoors" doesn't apply universally everywhere because if you go to any rural area, it's an absurd thing to try to enforce!
Yeah. Specifically barn cats and farm live shitty lives too. They get eaten by coyotes and birds of prey and dingos and badgers and *insert local predator here.* Frequently they're unvetted, unvaccinated, have fleas, get mange, or get stepped on by horses and cows, too. Believe it or not, I've grown up in rural farm land. I'm well aware of farm animals. Livestock guardian dogs are fine, barn cats are not.
They're also shit at rodent control, especially if fed, and you'd have a far better time with a rat dog or two.
Our rural ass shelter catches and euthanizes stray feral cats. I started the program, current shelter direcors keep it going. Because they're bad for the environment and spread disease to livestock It's not hard to enforce when your options are keep your cat inside or it isn't yours anymore. But go off about how having indoor cats is abuse, I guess 🤷♀️
Last time I'm reblogging this because it's been enough: maybe in your context it's not hard to enforce it, good for you to do things for your community. But thinhs are different everywhere and it would be extremely hard to do that here for example. I do believe keeping an animal indoors is giving them a sad life, didn't say anything about abuse.
We can all agree to disagree at least you're not insulting me so have a good night
Then I genuinely hope you never get a cat. If you do, I hope you cat-proof your yard/garden. There ARE ways to do it safely, as I mentioned before. And if you do, I hope you don't have your cat killed by wildlife, or another cat, or a car, because that DOES happen. Do hope you feel guilty about the local songbird, pollinator, and lizard populations though cause that is a thing.
And I hope one day you care enough about things to actually make changes in your world instead of "that will never work here"-ing your way out of making the world a better place. Good luck in life.
