Anytime there's a rumor about the presidents health...
idk who needs to hear this but if you have been putting something off bc it doesn't need to be done until the end of the month. we are almost done with the teens we are approaching the big numbers (the twenties). that date shall dawn upon you swiftly and without mercy before you know it. psa for everyone except me i got plany off time
Bourgeois media pushing reactionary culture war garbage to keep the working class divided while protecting the rich and powerful from accountability for their heinous actions? What else is new? Next we’ll find out that they only report on protests by and for the marginalized and working class when they can spin something in a negative light to make a movement look bad to the uninformed. After that? Maybe that they push bourgeois political candidates, slander candidates that are even slightly further left than the bourgeois candidates, and push narratives against bills and measures that would improve material conditions for the working class.
TL;DR: bourgeois media (media made by the rich to serve their interests) cannot be trusted
be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now
Prompt #1249
"You don't get to just apologize now. Not after what you did."
We here at Sylph Co. are proud to announce the opening of an official tumblr account. By manufacturing and distributing Pokéballs and Trainer Acessories, we're not just selling supplies, we're selling connections between people and pokémon
I keep coming back to this, it’s such an incredible meta-commentary on capitalism and digital control.
Someone made a Tumblr account pretending to be the Pokeball monopoly in a fictional universe, and people made a “KUNG POW PENIS” string using the in-universe letter-shaped pokemon, followed by a pokemon (zorua) making a slamming blast towards the camera, completing the spell or whatever.
They’re mirroring the real-life “silence capitalist” attitude, against a real account pretending to be a fake corporation, using symbols from the fake corporation’s world. They’re pretending like this attitude exists in-universe. This attitude in part exists due to real-life corporations increasingly encroaching into social life and injecting their presence on social media, like this fictional corporation is doing. It works as a good joke!
The real-life Pokemon company, presumably, issues a takedown, or the corporation of Tumblr does so voluntarily on their behalf, taking down the fictional KUNG POW PENIS on a copyright claim.
In doing so, they’re protecting real corporate interests, against a bunch of people fake-insulting a fake corporation. The result looks exactly like the same pro-corporate control over media exists in-universe, as if the fictional company had issued a harassment or defamation takedown instead. In doing so, Tumblr advanced the joke even further by showing why the anti-corporate attitude would exist in a supposed Pokemon utopia.
also accidentally creates the suggestion that people were just posting oodles of pokemon pornography
I barely reblog/post anymore, because I do not trust a certain someone who knows who she is to actually stay tf away from me. <3
Isn't it fun having an ex who stalks your shit? 😂
Girly pop, you would not even recognize me today, and you would not find your shit tolerated for a second. I doubt you will listen to me more than you do anyone else, but you have zero chance. Ever.
I have walked away from everyone I ever knew, and you are no different.
I am not a tool, not an assistant, not a pet.
And those of you who thought you could manipulate and control me for ever? You mistook my kindness for weakness. That projection is gonna cause you trouble boo. I chose to put my trust in you, you chose to show your true colors.
Sorry that you have failed to do the work for that... but it became your responsibility upon becoming an adult to finish raising yourself. And your responsibility to raise your own the moment you chose to keep her.
Stop focusing on me (it is over, I MEAN it), and tend to yourself and her. She deserves better than a mother who she has to help parent.
i hate the downplaying of blatant transphobia thats rampant in the queer community as "just discourse"
this is not "discourse". its dangerous.
this is what leads to the dangerously high rates of depression.
hi i know ive said this before but reminder not to watch or even hatewatch the Zelda movie because it's being produced by a zionist (Avi Arad) who personally served in the IOF during the Six-Day War in 1967 and actively supports the genocide of Palestinians today. obviously there's a huge concern that it'll be a racist propaganda film, considering the producer's history/views and how that might affect the depiction of certain scenarios and peoples from some of the games. but even if the Gerudo don't end up featuring at all, i'd still encourage you and the people you know to avoid the film entirely

"Try our new AI tool", "Use ChatGPT", "Our AI assistant can help"
"But (fill in the name) isn't a bad person! They just need the money/misunderstand/want people to come here legally/other excuse!"
Their motives don't matter. People seem to think the Nazis and their supporters were these creatures who were devoid of any humanity, mindless robots with no good qualities. And so the people today cannot be the same because they still have good qualities.
That is not true.
There were Nazis with families. Some were abusive to their kids, but others were not. Some of the children of high-ranking Nazis publicly spoke of how loving their parents were.
The point is that it is wrong to assume our circumstances are different or make ICE agents' actions justifiable. Surely there were Nazis who took the job because they couldn't afford housing. The Hitler Youth were systemically gaslit. Hitler lied that Jews were dangerous, just as Trump lies about immigrants; surely there were Nazis who, like some ICE agents, signed up because they believed those lies.
It doesn't matter the reasons. ICE's actions, just like the Nazi's actions, are unjustifiable and unforgiveable.
I'm up I showered I fed my dog I had my coffee, let's go.

First, I shall talk about why purebred dogs exist. Dogs were not shaped randomly, they were bred by human communities with purpose. Every breed you see today comes from cultural practices, needs, and histories. Livestock guardian dogs, sighthounds, sled dogs, herders, toy companions, even specialized hunting dogs, all of them exist because people in specific regions shaped them to fit their lives.
Breeds are living cultural artifacts. To dismiss purebred dogs entirely is to dismiss those histories, and often those cultures.
When people say “purebreds are inherently cruel,” they’re usually repeating talking points they’ve absorbed from white animal rights activists who paint all breeding with the same brush.
But this erases the reality that Indigenous communities, nomadic cultures, and marginalized peoples worldwide have preserved their breeds for centuries, sometimes against and in spite colonization itself.
If you’re anti-purebred, what you’re actually saying (intentionally or not) is that those people’s cultural companions and traditions should disappear.
That’s why it’s racist: it treats white, Western-created shelters as the “moral” option, and casts global cultural preservation as “abuse.”
Second, good breeding is not the same as bad breeding. Yes, backyard breeders and puppy mills exist, and yes, they cause immense harm. But a well-bred dog from a responsible breeder is an entirely different story. Ethical breeders:
Health test their dogs (hips, eyes, genetic panels) to reduce hereditary issues.
Breed for stable, predictable temperaments.
Select for physical soundness and long-term quality of life.
Offer contracts, support, and often take dogs back for life if needed.
That’s worlds apart from a puppy mill pumping out sickly litters in a barn.
The “all purebreds are unhealthy” line ignores the fact that responsible breeders have worked hard to reduce problems in their breeds.
By the way, that whole thing about mixed breeds being healthier? Complete myth, 'hybrid vigor' is a made up thing. In fact mix breeds are often much less healthy because they're almost always the result of unethical or accidental breeding, ergo they receive no health testing, and are just as likely to get every single issue possible from both parent breeds and ergo be more medically unstable as they are to get less.
Third, well-bred purebreds are incredibly important for dog owners. Not everyone wants to gamble on a mystery heritage dog from a shelter. For first-time dog owners, or people with kids, or folks who need a specific temperament or skill (service work, sport, guarding), a well-bred purebred is safer and more responsible.
You know roughly how big they’ll get, what energy level they’ll have, and what temperament to expect. That’s not cruelty, that’s informed decision-making.
And the truth is, a lot of shelter dogs exist precisely because irresponsible people bred them with no plan, or bought them without preparation.
Responsible breeders reduce that cycle by only placing puppies in stable, suitable homes.
Fourth, shelters vs. purebreds is a false dichotomy. Shelters and rescues matter, but they can’t be the only option. If everyone stopped breeding tomorrow, many breeds would vanish in a single generation.
Rare and endangered breeds would disappear forever, and with them, the cultural and practical histories they embody.
Preservation breeding is as much conservation work as saving a rare wild species.
And honestly? Shelters are not a universally “better” option.
Many dogs in shelters are there because of backyard breeding, neglect, or lack of training. They can be wonderful dogs, but they can also come with unpredictable baggage, which isn’t fair to every home.
Demonizing purebred dogs while treating shelters as the “moral high ground” ignores that both can coexist.
Finally, the cultural and racist angle again, because this is the part people often miss. So many breeds are tied to Indigenous and non-Western communities. The Xoloitzcuintli (Mexico), the Carolina Dog (southeastern Native tribes), the New Guinea Singing Dog, the Basenji (Congo Basin), Tibetan Mastiffs, countless spitz breeds across Asia, these are living links to culture, survival, and identity. Saying “purebreds are unethical” isn’t just uneducated, it’s disrespectful. It mirrors the colonial mindset that Western animal welfare has the right to erase the practices of other cultures in favor of a supposedly “universal” (white, suburban, ARA-approved) standard.
So when people parrot “adopt don’t shop” without nuance, what they’re really doing is flattening a very complex issue into a moral binary.
And that binary very conveniently demonizes anyone outside the white Western paradigm while ignoring the actual problem: irresponsible breeding and lack of support for owners.
TL;DR:
Purebred dogs are cultural history and preservation.
Responsible breeders are not puppy mills, they’re essential for healthy, predictable dogs.
Well-bred purebreds are often the safest choice for new or specific-need owners.
Rare breeds will vanish without preservation breeding.
Blanket anti-purebred stances erase Indigenous and marginalized communities’ work, which is racist whether people intend it or not.
The real fight should be against bad breeding, not against breeds themselves.

Adopt don't shop leads to dogs being returned to shelters or abandoned.
My first dog was adopted, and he ended up coming with severe mental issues not disclosed by the shelter, I personally believe he had been abused (very sus to me that he would fling himself across the room if I put on a belt/took off my belt while changing).
In the end, we HAD to give him up, we were in no way prepared for the level of care and rehab he needed.
And I had gotten a dog by PRESCRIPTION from my psychologist, to get a buddy to give me some confidence to work through budding agoraphobia.
So this was a bad move for BOTH parties.
The idea of buying a bred dog made me feel too horrendously guilty because of all the "adopt don't shop" messages.
I learned the hard way that there is a biggggg difference. Not every dog is only a "pet".
Discord forcing users to upload IDs and then having their service provider for this get hacked and leaking those IDs is incredible, they should be sued into the ground for this
Such fun that before the told people about this, they changed their terms and conditions to require everyone to give up their right to a jury trial and instead do forced arbitration.
I do wonder if they knew at the time.
