Cat hater: *lists out all of the reasons that they HATE cats*

Me: *treats this like a conversation opener and lists out the reasons that I don’t want a dog*

Cat hater: *now looks extremely uncomfortable*

Dog lovers can dish it out but they can’t take it is what I’m saying

[what-even-is-thiss]

Reasons I don’t want a dog and prefer cats:

I don’t have the time to give a dog the attention that it needs. I’m a very busy person who’s rarely home. Cats sleep a lot and can entertain themselves when you’re away.

Dogs try to lick your face and that grosses me out

Dogs are pretty gross in general. They like to play in the dirt and need to be bathed regularly

Big dogs can knock you over and seem dangerous to have around children. Also I prefer having a pet I can easily cuddle with without being pinned down by it.

Little dogs have a lot of energy and are likely to bite

Most dogs I’ve come across have kinda rough fur. Cats usually have very soft fur and if they’re hairless they’re nice and smooth

Dogs are too needy and extroverted. I’m an introvert and prefer a pet whose social needs are similar to mine

Cats generally groom/bathe themselves and require very little in terms of training. A week or two teaching your kitten to be polite is usually enough. Litter boxes are also pretty easy to take care of and you don’t have to let your pet out in the middle of the night so they can pee

Cats purr and make you feel special because you’ve earned their trust enough for them to feel totally at peace around you.

Also just... purring. That’s not a feature that dogs have.

I am a cat guy myself but I love dogs too I just don’t have the energy for them but they’re good they’re very good

If you happen to have HBO/Max… please watch the Barbie ASL movie at least once.

The ASL version is a bit of an experiment and if there are low views, they may not continue offering ASL options for movies.

Watching it at least once will show Max that having multiple accessible options is needed, and they will continue to offer this!

Our deaf and hard of hearing friends deserve equal access to entertainment. [end alt id]

the worst thing that could possibly happen to ao3 is it being put on the app store so please stop asking for it because you don't understand what would happen if that went through. ao3's whole deal is it archives EVERYTHING, while the apple app store's whole deal is keeping everything clean and safe. so if ao3 were to have an app all of the 'bad' stuff, including nsfw in general, would have to be censored at best or would be purged at worse. the google play store is more lax but who fucking knows what GOOGLE would police if they got their hands on the archive. do not ask for an app. do not use third party apps. it's on mobile browser functioning perfectly, just fucking use that before you ruin everything for everyone please.

Nothing shuts down a bougie conversation like "well, when I was homeless—" Nothing. It's one and done. They are fucking taken out. The conversation is dead. Done.

"there's enough charities in place to help our homeless population"

Well I was turned away from every single one in the area because I was a non Christian trans person. Not that there were many I could make the walk to, to be fair.

"if someone is homeless, they can just forage for food! Probably eating healthier than we are har har har!"

I was homeless in winter. And yeah, sure, I knew how to use pine needles to make tea and boil bark but. Come on. You think every homeless person has that fucking knowledge or resources? And I was homeless on a mountain. What about people who are homeless in cities? What are they going to forage? Gravel? And what about areas where foraging is illegal? You want them to get arrested? In a police state like this?

"well as long as they don't get into trouble, there won't be trouble!"

You make laws criminalizing their existence. The "trouble" they make is surviving. I got the cops called on me because I went for a walk. I had a stick I was using to help me walk because I have a limp and couldn't afford a cane. A fucking white couple saw me and called the cops and told them I was walking "with a rifle" and was "very threatening". I got DAMNED lucky that a Light horseman found me first and told me what happened. Laughed a little. Told me not to worry about it, he'd call it in as bogus, and have a talk with the couple. But again. I was lucky. If that had been a state cop and not a rez one, I could have been fucking shot. For walking.

Honestly, if you are not for the liberation of homeless people, if you are not for decriminalizing homelessness and all aspects of it, if you say things like, "now I support those people, but I wish I didn't have to see it, because it makes me uncomfy," you have swallowed the propaganda pill. Congrats. You were not immune to it and now you are sick with it.

i mean, maybe this is my inner “survivor of child abuse” talking, but I am not going to tell abusive parents that they’re bad at bringing up their children without a bullet proof plan with regards to how I could protect my student from the emotional and physical backlash of that meeting.

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

Important thing to remember about intervening in abuse in general. Any actions taken by others to hold the abuser accountable WILL be taken out on the victim and not the person doing the confronting. Do not confront an abuser about their actions unless you know for absolute certain that you can protect their victim from the fallout.
