So while I was getting my haircut, the lady asked me if I had other plans for the day and I said:

“I’m just going to pick up the boy from daycare and then it’s date night.”

And the lady says “Oh! How old is he?”

“He’s three.”

“Mine too! Where are you registering him for kindergarten it’s such a hassle-”

And that’s when I realized I said “boy” and not “dog” because I always think of Charlie as “good boy” but this slip up has lead to a miscommunication.

The lady is now 6 minutes into a clearly needed rant about how unnecessarily complex shopping for schools is, esp when you have a neurodivergent child, so I can’t just tell her that Charlie is a dog because then she’ll feel awkward for unloading on me and she clearly has enough going on.

So the rest of the haircut became a game of “how much can I say about Charlie without revealing that he is not a human child?” And the answer is “enough to cover a half hour hair appointment, quite possibly several hours worth if I’m specific enough”

[gallusrostromegalus]

“is he very verbal?”

“It really depends on who he’s with. He’s very quiet at he but won’t shut up if he’s at the park or has a friend over.”

“was it hard to potty-train him?”

“he’s adopted, but I was genuinely amazed at how good he already was with hygene and potty stuff.”

“mine’s just obsessed with paw patrol and Frozen, drives me crazy!”

“I imagine. Charlie is colorblind so he’s not as into tv, but he always wants a toy if I take him anywhere with them.”

“oh gosh the toys! And the kids are so rough on them!”

“yeah Charlie can destroy a stuffed animal in about 2 minutes, so I only buy him the really cheap ones.”

“Does he throw tantrums when they break?”

“Not really. It’s meditative, really, taking them apart. He has hysterics if the cat takes his toys though. Runs downstairs and cries at me until I retrieve it because he’s not tall enough to get it out of the cat tree.”

I was thrilled to pieces when I saw this scene. Disney could have written Gideon off like some bully character who never really amounted to anything, or got what was coming to him like a lot of those characters do in their movies.  Gideon made something of himself. He’s a pastry chef, something that’s not traditionally a job for men in media. And as soon as Judy speaks to him, he immediately apologizes to her. He doesn’t try to shrug it off as no big deal, or say that it was just boys being boys or whatever; he knows he hurt her, and he owns up to it. And Judy immediately forgives him. 

Well done, Disney. 

[hedgethodge]

Also the language that he used is not something that he would have most likely grown up hearing/using. Describing his failings as self-doubt that manifested into “unchecked rage and aggression” sounds SO MUCH like therapy speak. So he’s either gotten counseling to help him with some of his problems, or sought out literature to help himself. A++ disney :)

The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn

[bloodmaia]

Male gaze vs Female gaze

[barricorn]

male gaze vs just doing something because it’s fun fuck everyone saying Harley’s freedom is just the same shit but gay this time

[purplesaline]

Female gaze doesn’t mean Gay.

Female gaze is literally women see the world differently then men. As much as I wish all women were gay or bisexual that’s really not the case.

Effectively what usually winds up happening when the female gaze is used to present media is that women are seen as having agency in their own lives instead of as accessories to the lives and desires of men.

So female gaze already means “just doing something because it’s fun”

And just because lots of us gay women and other wlw and non-binary women loving folks happen to think the female gaze is super hot does not mean that the female gaze caters to us. Personally speaking I love it because it doesn’t.

really fucking hate this new wave of feminism that’s like “my uterus is cuterus!” like no bitch my uterus is a self detonating time bomb that is designed solely to make my life miserable for a week every month and has no fucking bearing on why women (uterus or no uterus) deserve equal rights. fuck. off.

My favorite thing about Cheddar the dog is that either Holt or Kevin named him Cheddar and I honestly don’t know which option is funnier.

[roachpatrol]

third, equally funny option: his name was already cheddar when they adopted him. both of them think it’s an absurd goddamn name but neither of them know you can just change an animal’s name if you don’t like it. no one ever told them and they’re both much too proper to even conceptualize this notion on their own. the dog was named cheddar and that’s very unfortunate but cheddar he will remain. 

[angelsarenamederika]

fourth, they were aware you could change an adopted animals name but let it remain Cheddar out of respect for his ‘birth’ parents

[unrealcosima]

Fifth, they named it after the historic village of Cheddar, Somerset in England, unaware people will associate it more with the type of cheese

[dancinbutterfly]

Sixth, they named him after the hard cheese from Cheedar in Somerset, England due the fact there are both orange and off-white types which parallels their pet’s coloring and Kevin and Raymond both appreciate the nobility of a product which is a cornerstone of a multibillion dollar cheese industry and has a history going back to the 12th century and furthermore

[jetzv]

Seventh, Cheddar is the only type of cheese that they both love.

[dancinbutterfly]

Eighth. Cheddar was Kevin’s mother dog, she chose the name and Kevin, dutiful son that he is, took him off her hands when she developed an allergy to dog dander at 78. Can you imagine? What unbridled weakness, and at her age. You see, Santiago, this why early exposure to allergens of all types is crucial for healthy antibody development and why I made a point to have as many encounters with low-level toxins as possible before my immune system was finished developing. You know, now that you and Peralta are discussing reproducing, you should really consider

Is the reason Victor Hugo didn’t give them first names because they didn’t succeed? History wouldn’t know their names so we don’t need to know them either?

[we-fucked-up-evolution]

Actually no, it’s the complete opposite! Hugo was a firm believer in the significance of names because they tell us a lot about a character’s place in society. That’s why Valjean changes names a lot: he’s not accepted for who he is! Fantine doesn’t have a last name because she’s not even acknowledged by society, because Hugo thought last names showed the characters’ place on the social ladder. Therefore, les Amis will be remembered because they were high society boys and so people knew who they were and would have remembered their deaths! They don’t have first names, though, because they will only be remembered for their actions and not their personalities, because history glosses over the normal lives of famous people. People remember the last name, not the person behind it.

Weirdest experience I ever had with this is with a customer at work.

It’s not an uncommon occurrence for men in their 40s and 50s to refer to their wives as “old bags”, so whenever I do the whole “Would you like a bag” spiel, there’s a 50/50 chance they will point to their wife and say “No thanks I have one right here” or say “Nah I left her at home” Or something else awful and then wink at me and call me darling or sweetheart and just make me want to be smited by god right in that second.

However there was one customer that came in and did this whole song and dance. Not out of the ordinary. What was, however, was how he then followed it up by going “I’m kidding, I’m divorced ha ha.” Then, his face drops and he turns to his friend with a look of absolute horror and goes “Wait, that’s probably why. Do you think that’s why she left me Andy? Because I said things like that?” And then proceeded to look like he was re-evaluating his whole life as his friend led him out of the store.

TL; DR = Boomers are weird and this one was given a glimpse behind the veil of self awareness in a Tesco Extra
