My grandmother died very suddenly. Shortly before she died, she went to the doctor and was given a clean bill of health. That's debatable to me for several reasons, but almost 19 years later that irony is not lost on me.

"Clearly I wasn't talking about disabled people-" yeah part of the problem is that the existence of disabled people just isn't considered in your worldview like that's the problem we're criticizing not a get out of jail free card

It's crazy to see people's misogyny run so deep that it's literally affecting their relationship with their own pets.

"Girl cats just aren't as affectionate :("

"Girl dogs never like me that's why I always get boy dogs :("

And like I don't like to anthropomorphize the emotions of animals, so I'm not going to say I know exactly how animals feel about it. But I will say if you genuinely never have good interactions with animals that happen to be girls then I have to assume you're the one treating every girl animal really weird and you're an asshole. And if you are having good interactions with girl animals and are still saying shit like this then like. You're cherry picking instances to be misogynistic about animals online for no reason and you're an asshole.

this is so rampant among horse people it's wild. i rode a mare all my life and she was the gentlest, kindest soul i've ever met in any animal. yet the way every other rider i worked with, including women, would make assumptions and disparage her like 'oh you couldn't pay me to ride a mare' because they're supposedly difficult, unpredictable, and mean. it's crazy to listen to people talk about a horse the same way men talk about their 'crazy exes' in 90s sitcoms and that is not an exaggeration.

As someone who currently has the stereotypical clingy male cat, I second this. My previous cats, male and female, have been divas at best and had attitude problems at worse. (Love them all to bits.) They also had different degrees of affection. None of those were related to gender. Those were just their personalities. (And possibly coat colors; my first cat was Tortitude Personified.)

50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon

[i-cannot-live-without-coffee]

Seven years ago today I left a toxic job that not only did a number on my mental health but permanently damaged my physical health from all the stress. Like something out of a movie, this song was playing as I dropped my uniform and key card off and walked out for the last time. I really did drop off the key and get myself free.

Since it’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, I’m gonna circulate this site again.

Illuminate is a Holocaust remembrance and education initiative. Please take time to #RememberOne victim and join our global community.

I remember first discovering this site five or six years ago and they haven’t even cracked a million names yet. I think it’s a really wonderful memorial that emphasizes each name as an individual rather than just a statistic and doubles as a teaching moment to show the sheer devastation to the global Jewish community and emphasize exactly how large a number six million is.

crazy how the printer is the only piece of tech that acts up like that almost every day of its life. and we just accept it

[waterandsilver]

i don't think i've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. i think most printers have dreams of being on the stage

[in-the-drowning-deep]

I met a printer early in my IT career that did not want to be a printer. it sat in a school reprographics room, sullenly chewing any job it was fed - if it deigned to notice them at all.

then one day, a miracle occurred. an exhausted physics teacher, instead of punching in 12 for the number of copies she wanted of the 30-page booklet she had made for her A-level physics class, punched in 1200.

and that printer came to life. this print job was its moment, its magnum opus! it WOULD NOT be parted from it, no matter what we did, until we physically unplugged it from the wall, by which time it had printed almost 200 copies.

moral of the story: no printer wants to be a printer, unless you also do not want it to be a printer for a bit.

I feel like people have this misconception that friends always agree with you. This is incorrect; A true friend will disagree with you, and even call you out on your bullshit, and still be your friend.

That feeling of falling in love w life again after a long period on autopilot … absolutely ineffable. These days I try to linger a little while longer in patches of sunlight on cold winter mornings even when I’m on my way to things
