It's funny how differently people can talk about the same subjects while using the same words. I recall I once told my boyfriend, something along the lines of "if I don't have the time to wake up right before being expected to function, it's going to throw me off for the whole day", which I had learned as a kid by having family with no patience for people who wake up slowly. My sister is the type who snaps awake like flicking on a light switch, eyes flick open and she's 100% operational. And because of the way the household worked it was her job to make sure that I'm awake and up to get to school in time.

Just now my boyfriend asked me if it's enough proper waking time to be allowed to sit quietly with my caffeinated beverage for 30 minutes before getting dressed to go out and about.

My sister used to just toss the dog at me. The dog liked it, she was a terrier who could almost be tossed like a cat. Being semi-literally physically bodyslammed into consciousness by a 10 kg animal who always lands claws first and then immediately having to fight for my life wrestling that thing to keep her tongue out of my eyes, ears, and the inside of my mouth, before I could comprehend who, where, and why I am, was the way of getting woken up that threw me off the course for the whole day.

it is genuinely so unbelievably annoying to be a child trafficking survivor and have to listen to people argue about shadows on the wall when it comes to children’s rights and child abuse prevention. the only true way to prevent child abuse is to take away parental control. give children rights. give them the education, resources, and rights to say yes or no to whatever and whoever they desire. i know what would have helped me. i’m so mind numbingly sick of all of this. everyone wants to feel like a hero, but nobody wants to help anyone.

[malignedmare]

there is not a pedophile cabal hiding in the shadows waiting to kidnap children. parents are the number one perpetrators of child sexual abuse. my kidnapper was my mother. my traffickers were all paid by her and had legal custody over me. i was forced thru constant manual labor and sexual humiliation in the name of “therapy” because parents are allowed to do whatever they want with the children they own. the end of adult supremacy is the only way to end child abuse.

I am a cat person, which means that of the many, many behaviours that are shared between dogs and cats, I find them mildly disgusting when dogs do them but neutral or even endearing when cats do them. This is one of the flaws of being a biased animal attempting to think consistently using approximately 1.3 kg of electrified tapioca.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Me seeing some woman let her crusty eyed dog lick her face: Ewww, gross! Do you have any idea where that mouth has been?! How are you not throwing up right now?

Me when the neighbour's cat, who uses his mouth in the same way a dog does and whose mouth is generally acknowledged to be so unsanitary that cat bites (just like dog bites) are considered extra dangerous specifically due to infection concerns, licks my cheek: Aww, he's trying to groom me. <3

[aurelia-which-means-sunrise]

I was going to say "but dogs do objectively slobber more so it is more disgusting!" And then I remembered that Erwin, my cat, regularly leaves wet patches on my clothes from nuzzling them.

Diesel drools when he is very happy and then shakes his head vigorously and droplets of drool go everywhere. This is something that I fucking hate to see dogs do because it's the grossest thing ever. I forgive Diesel in less than ten seconds.

#yes this#the one actual difference I can think of is that when I pet dogs that are allowed outside#I am left with a kind of film or feeling on my hands that I have to wash off#and housecats don't have that problem

This is true but sheep also have a Film (lanolin) and I love petting sheep.

found family should be "we come from different backgrounds yet share the same hurt, the same stories, youve become an irreplaceable part of my life. I dont have the words for our connection but we have no one if not eachother and you are my one place I safely call home."

not "ok Im the child and youre the parent and that guys the little sibling"

For some reason that makes no sense to me, the english language doesn't have a distinct verb for "thinks/believes falsely" in contrast to just "thinks" or "believes" without judgement on whether their convictions are grounded in reality or not.

[imgae-insertshockedgasps-16]

thinks/believes falsely....

one could misunderstand, misinterpret, misconstrue, mistake, misconceive, misapprehend, misjudge, misbelieve, misreckon

one could believe in a fallacy, a falsity, an untruth, a falsehood, a hunch, a suspicion, a supposition, a hope, an ideal, an opinion

Clerks smile and 'flip off' security camera while 'sneaking' immigrants out of courthouse: DOJ

Two Utah court clerks have been dubbed "anti-ICE vigilantes" after they were allegedly caught "sneaking" immigrants out the back door of the

[antifainternational]

That's how you show real solidarity!

"After they overheard that ICE was at the courthouse to arrest someone, they improperly accessed court databases to determine who was not born in the United States," a DOJ detention filing says. "They then snuck every suspected illegal alien who was at the courthouse out a back door, where ICE, who was waiting in the parking lot for their target to leave the building, could not see them."

Think about what you can do at your job or in your daily life to resist fascism when the opportunity presents itself!
