Selling this one (as an original, not a print) on Etsy White pen on cardboard, 2015
My dog has a habit where, right before a walk, she just takes a mouthful of kibble and keeps it in her mouth. Then, during the walk, she would decide on a good spot and just spit the kibble out and then eat it.
Let people grow.
When I was younger I was very right-wing. I meanâŚvery right-wing. I wonât go into detail, because Iâm very deeply ashamed of it, but whatever youâre imagining, itâs probably at least that bad. Iâve taken out a lot of pain on others; Iâve acted in ignorance and waved hate like a flag; Iâve said and did things that hurt a lot of people.
There are artefacts of my past selves online â some of which Iâve locked down and keep around to remind me of my past sins, some of which Iâve scrubbed out, some of which are out of my grasp. If I were ever to become famous, people could find shit on me that would turn your stomach.
But thatâs not me anymore. Iâve learned so much in the last ten years. Iâve become more open to seeing things through othersâ eyes, and reforged my anger to turn on those who harm others rather than on those who simply want to exist. Iâve learned patience and compassion. Iâve learned how to recognise my privileges and listen to othersâ perspectives. Iâve learned to stand up for others, how to hear, how to help, how to correct myself. And I learned some startling shit about myself along the way â with all due irony, some of the things I used to lash out at others for are intrinsic parts of myself.
You wouldnât know what I am now from what I was then. You wouldnât know what I was then from what I am now.
It distresses me deeply to think of someone dredging up my dark, awful past and treating me as though that furiously hateful person is still me. It distresses me to see others dredging up the past for anyone who has made efforts to become a better person, out of some sick obsession with proving theyâre âproblematic.â
Purity culture tells you that once someone says or does something, they can never go back on it. Thatâs a goddamn lie. While itâs true that some remain unrepentant and never change their ways and continue to harm others, itâs important to allow everyone the chance to learn from their mistakes. Saying something ignorant isnât murder. Please stop treating it that way. Let people grow.
Still call it out and question it âŚ.
Bruh. No. Listen. Call out what people do now, absolutely. If they havenât changed, call them out on their record. This post is explicitly not about people who HAVENâT changed. What this post IS saying is, if someone is making an effort to be a good person, donât go digging around in their past for evidence that they were once for what theyâre now against, or once against what theyâre now for, as âproofâ of what they âreally think,â because peopleâs opinions and beliefs can change.Â
The obsession with finding shit in someoneâs past and then claiming that a questionable or even sordid past negates all possibility of a good present needs to become extinct. Gold-star activism and purity culture are bullshit and we need to collectively reject the fuck out of them.
If someone has changed for the better, donât harass them about what they were like before they fuckinâ changed. Thatâs shitty and it needs to stop.
tell me something nice, hit me with those positive vibess
the earliest recorded named cat lived over 3000 years ago in egypt and was called ânedjemâ which means sweetie
the pet cat of prince thutmose was called âtai miuwetteâ which means âlittle mewerâ
in medieval england so many cats were given the name âgilbertâ that the word âgybâ came to mean âpet catâ

Scoob and the gang have an existential crisis.
I rarely criticize my wife, but when I do, itâs spoken directly to her, in private, and with love.
I donât speak negatively about my wife to other people. Not because sheâs perfect (which is an impossible and unfair standard) but because she deserves a husband she can trust. To say anything about my wife that I wouldnât say to her face, would be a betrayal of that trust.
I never want her to spend a single moment worrying about the way I talk about her when sheâs not around.
A little louder

Yes. Thank you.

Can we also talk about how this is the best translation tool for non English speakers? I want this for traveling!
Youâre telling me someone designed something widely useful AND remembered that colorblindness is a thing that exists?
Iâm. So. Excited. About. This.
I saw this on CBS Sunday morning. A woman held it up to the journalist and it was like, âwhite man, brown hair, 40 years old.âÂ
He looked soÂ
Reblogging because I want to remember to learn more about this!
This app is out now! I used to teach people how to use iPhones and had a class on accessibility. This app was one that I encouraged many people to download. Thereâs also BeMyEyes: an app that allows video calls from visually impaired folks to sighted folks, so that the sighted person can use their eyes in situations where it is necessary, like in reading ingredients.
