notice how nobody’s tweeting “let’s finally talk about male victim stats” it’s all “yess finally i can call that stupid fucking slut a cunt and never believe women which i evidently never have before because they’ve been to court thrice but i only believe the verdict against her in the only trial that wasn’t with a sequestered jury!” because it was always about misogyny 🤠 fuck all of you and if i so much as hear a depp defender round the block then square up lmfao

A lot of people attempting to produce new breeds of farm dogs… are just backyard breeders who understand how to advertise themselves to dog people

[elvenferretots]

Behavior is more complicated than "ignore and it will go away."

Behavior is more complicated than "what you allow, you train."

Behavior is more complicated than labeling the dog as bratty, entitled, or stubborn.

Nothing puts up red flags for a trainer like blanket statements and emotional appeals.

Dog training isn't rocket science, but that doesn't mean that we should label all behaviors and methods under one umbrella without actually looking at individual motivation and function.

Sustainability that does not include and consider indigenous people is not actually sustainable.

I saw a cis person on tiktok arguing that a trans woman should be misgendered because she committed a horrible crime and the weird thing is that he liked comments by trans people calling him out for how transphobic that was but he also kept doubling down and claiming he was a good ally because he thought a bad person shouldn’t be associated with the “transgender community”

And I don’t know what cis person needs to hear this but hearing that another trans person is an ax murderer is the same emotionally as learning that someone from your city is an ax murderer. If someone from Cincinnati commits a war crime you don’t then claim that person isn’t from Cincinnati.

Except the difference is that when an outsider tries to disown a war criminal from Cincinnati that’s just a bit weird. But if you’re a cis person that tries to claim that a trans person isn’t really trans because they’re a bad person, that just signals to every trans person in earshot that you and everyone that agrees with you is someone that should be avoided. Because your support and acceptance has now been established as being conditional. There is something we could do that could revoke your support. And we will never know your secret conditions in your head. So the safest thing to do in the future is to avoid you completely or at least become emotionally distance ourselves enough from you that we can make an escape if and when you turn on us.

Incidentally? This is true EVEN WHEN THE TRANS PERSON’S ACTIONS MAY BE HARMFUL TO THE TRANS COMMUNITY.

Caitlyn Jenner isn’t a man, she’s just a shitty, self-entitled woman. I remember that discourse and I bet some of y’all do too, so DON’T.

[garlic-slut]

Purposefully misgendering any trans person isn’t trans allyship. There will never be a good reason to be transphobic.

imagine you're a fifth-grade teacher and one day a crow just flies into your classroom, steals some food, sits on some kid's head, and shouts "fuck off"

[inferentialdistance]

What asshole snitched!?

[queen-susans-revenge]

No, the story is even better than that! This crow lives outdoors, but he has a human family that rescued and raised him as a chick. He is highly vocal because he talks to his humans regularly.

They have some judgy neighbors though, who didn't love foulmouthed Cosmo, and who secretly captured him and took him to an animal rescue. He was eventually released far from from home.

When he came to this school? When he walked through all the classrooms telling the kids "what's up?" and "I'm fine"? He was looking for someone who could help him find his family.

“He went to the only kid I know in Allen Dale and knocked on the door,” Shattuck said. That was the fifth-grade classroom where Cosmo found snacks. That night, when the kid relayed the story of the talking crow to his father, the father called Shattuck. Colpron went the next day to collect Cosmo.

Cosmo's home now, he was welcomed back and fed sardines, he doesn't visit the traitor neighbors anymore, and those kids got to take part in a wonderful story about friendship, corvid intelligence, and Christmas magic.

Raise your hand if you would also watch the crap out of a heartwarming TV movie version of Cosmo the Christmas Crow.

Facebook outside of dogbook got hold of that one post about the French Bulldogs and their muzzle length. This is the bad place.

[gustavowasright-deactivated2022]

Social media trainers are like. No I haven’t titled a dog, but I have over 5000 followers and a handful of pet titles, so you might say I’m a pretty big deal

[teacup-labrador]

Honestly I think if you threw a lab at anyone and they had to live with it it would be tolerable

[twogriffons]

i just think that people who think all brachycephalic dogs are inherently unhealthy are kind of wrong and dumb
