watching this show about “tiny homes” in my heavily gentrified hometown totally won’t piss me off…

“Historically working class area has been Discovered by hip young people…”

I love to see everyone talking about how they could never have a terrier etc etc. especially herdy dog owners. because in my brain herders and terriers are right next to each other on the dog spectrum

[farm-paws]

@spitzonthefritz putting this here because you are so correct about this yes. But I also include experienced dog people in this because a lot of them also forget it.

Terriers are working dogs! They have always been (just like herders) and it’s extremely hard to breed the work out of them (just like herders). And people seem to forget that if you give them a bit of this:

You will get a lot of this:

(Just like herders)

If a herder is like having a loving personal assistant, having a terrier is like having a tiny mafia boss who has decided that you are the only person that rightfully should exist. Because you give them cookies sometimes. So for that, you can have a long discussion about what’s in it for them if they come back when they’re called.

If dog buttons have one hater I am that very hater.

Communicating “in the same language for the first time” through dog buttons as Christina Hunger describes in her book is a failure of the most human proportion, putting too much value on the human (English) spoken word and ignoring that every detail, movement, twitch of our dogs is an act of communication itself. They are already communicating with us, just as human and primitive dog first did thousands of years ago. Just how we have shaped each other’s evolution by our very relationship. The dog understands you without buttons. If you can’t understand a dog without buttons, or “speak the same language” without human spoken language that is your HUMAN failure.

I wonder who’s watched Star Trek deep space nine more than anyone else and if it’s my brother

[owlbeth]

his two brain cells aren’t colliding

(He’s actually terrifyingly intelligent and training him is a massive learning experience)

[owlbeth]

they’re such polar opposites

[sidetongue]

he’s thrilled with the river upgrade 

[sidetongue]

look we said they could sit stay, we didn’t say they’d look happy about it 

[owlbeth]

people don’t know I’m really struggling with anxiety bc I’ve shaved my legs and am deep conditioning my hair while I panic on the floor of the shower

hell hath no fury like someone on the internet being asked to self-reflect on whether or not their behavior contributes to larger and harmful cultural trends

[youtuberimpregnator985]

no go on say it. tell me to my face that semi-privately talking about streamers fucking each other contributes to horrible real life situations. dont be a coward

[ot3]

i will gladly say that. i think that publicly posting sexually explicit or otherwise invasive stuff about complete strangers contributes to a harmful erosion of boundaries and basic respect. i dont think becoming a b-list internet celebrity means someone forfeits their right to be thought of as a full person instead of a fictional character. i think the fact that plenty of internet content creators have openly said that invasive fanbases have been detrimental to their mental health is proof enough that this is part of a larger trend that has unfortunate real-world implications.
