I swear to GOD I’m not vagueing my situation, but I made a post recently about books I was planning to read this year, and I find it very….. interesting that multiple people came into my inbox afterward to tell me that all the queer authors in the bunch had sinned. like maybe they had, I dunno. it wouldn’t stop me reading (I love Interview with the Vampire, I have Thoughts about Anne Rice, etc). but it is interesting that none of the non-queer authors merited this whisper campaign, despite some of them honestly deserving it. not saying anything outright here, just making an observation. listening and learning. you know

I'm still thinking about the time that someone came into my dms to tell me that Gideon the Ninth's author had written problematic fanfiction.

maybe it's because I don't read or write fanfiction, so all related discourse has always been an iceberg sailing past me, but I just can't imagine who would give a shit. like oh, they wrote about a taboo topic? is it well written? should I read it?

and also, I'm reading work by wife abusers, religious fanatics, old timey racists, antisemites, misogynists, fascists, murderers...... knowing how these people conducted themselves in life gives context to better understand their writing, but that's about it. the only authors I'm actively boycotting for moral reasons are Neil Gaiman and J. K. Rowling, because they're using the money from their book sales in present day to harm people.

where's that photo of that shepherd dog being comforted by one of the sheep he guards after saving them from a wolf attack

[fruitpilled-peachcel]

love and gratefulness and kindness on planet earth

[first-sight-and-second-thoughts]

I would just like to say, as people in the notes are pointing out, that the blood is the wolf's. The dog is wearing a spiked collar to protect their neck from the attacks.

[warponysideshow]

this is my Anatolian (like the dog in OP)

yall cannot understand estimate the absolute tenderness of these dogs. that's why they're fierce, their bonds to their flocks and shepherds come from a 6000 year long pastoral legacy. I truly did not understand their level of intelligence til i brought two home.

they count and remember their flock members, they have favorites and carry grudges.

that head boop is one my livestock guardians give me everyday when they need comfort, that sheep is that dog's close friend.

[nadiacreek]

This is one of my husband’s favorite short stories. He quotes it from memory. I’m pretty sure he can recite the entire thing from memory.

[elodieunderglass]

This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.
