I was always 50/50 on whether to reblog this but the last comment pushed it to like 95/5 in favor.

I just wanted to post this again, after my dear friend included it in a post of hers.

It’s a BEAUTIFUL piece of artwork, and the artist, @kmcmorris, did a fantastic job on portraying what Cleopatra VII would have genuinely looked/dressed like, rather than the over the top and stereotypical Egyptian style she’s almost always shown in. It’s always been one of my absolute favourite depictions of Cleopatra, and wanted to share it with everyone again.

idk what’s funnier, pets with stereotypical human names like bryan and mckayla or pets with completely ridiculous names like hamburger and concrete

do you ever think about how weird it is that the moral of Frankenstein is kind of less just “graverobbing is weird and creepy” and more “take some fucking responsibility if you’re going to do so”

Please help me save my cat’s life.

I hate to ask for help like this but I don’t know where else to turn. My cat needs lifesaving surgery and we don’t have the money. Our Care Credit cards are maxed out from our cat’s previous emergency treatment for urinary blockage. It’s painful, recurring, and if left untreated, all he can do is curl up in a corner and wait to die an agonizing death. Even if treated, it will keep happening (this is his third or fourth time going through this.) He needs a perineal urethrostomy surgery which costs almost $1,000.

The only vet clinic where we can afford to take him will not accept a payment plan. We have no credit cards to use. Our mortgage is past due. We can bite the bullet to pay off the mortgage by the end of the month or pay for our cat’s surgery, but not both. Like always, his symptoms came suddenly, and despite our best efforts with helping him drink lots of water and switching him to a urinary health food, he still has this condition.

Please consider donating. I don’t want to give a sob story but we’ve been through so much. My mother was in the hospital recently to have her cancerous esophagus removed. She got pneumonia and was put on a ventilator, and the doctors said she would likely die. She stayed in the ICU for a month and a half before they moved her to the main floor and then to rehab. It was 90 degrees and storming outside the day of her surgery, and when she finally felt fresh air on her face again, it was a blizzard outside. My partner and I cared for her during that time but we took a financial hit from it.

On top of that, we had to euthanize our dog during that time. Our dog developed respiratory symptoms out of nowhere and we took her into the vet, but the medicine didn’t work and she got worse fast. She had started to go blind the morning we took her back. What they thought was a simple respiratory infection was metastasized cancer. We had no idea. It devastated my partner, who still cries about it eight months later. Our dog was still young.

Please. Any amount helps. I don’t want to fail my cat, too. I don’t want us to have to choose between all of us being homeless and saving my cat’s life. This isn’t how we normally live, we’re just stuck in a very tight spot and we could use any help you could possibly give.

“Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That’s the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Expressing love for a “bad” character while also expressing strong dislike for a “good” character is not necessarily “bashing character B to make character A look better.” Sometimes it’s simply expressing one’s preferences.

[hweanaro]

#good characters are not entitled to praise simply for being on the right side of the narrative #also! #stating that one likes one female character better than another #or thinks that one woman was written/handled better than another #is not necessarily ‘pitting women against each other’
