That Darn Cat

I put the me in meow. My life goal is to be homeless and in love. (Anyone want to be in love with me?)

[pidgeling]

i’m so upset

I just realized that the reason ghosts say Boo! is because it’s a latin verb

they’re literally saying ‘I alarm/I am alarming/I do alarm!!

I can’t

[life-of-a-latin-student]

present active boō, present infinitive boāre, perfect active boāvī, supine boātum

[interretialia]

Recte!

[flightcub]

if it comes from the latin word, they’re actually saying “I’M YELLING!” which is even cuter

[grizzlyhills]

do they speak latin because it’s a dead language

[feralkwe-deactivated20210912]

imagine laying in bed and instead of pulling on your legs or whatever, a demon straight up just smacks your ass

[sfiddy]

Is it… a boring demon or a Guillermo del Toro demon?

Watching Seattle PD fire tear gas at peaceful protesters and then seeing the pride flag crosswalks is really giving me an undescribable feeling 

(source)

Seattle PD is also lying about it being a riot

[skygenders]

“We don’t see a riot here, take off your riot gear” is what they are chanting…yeah…

[skygenders]

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

[damncommunists-deactivated20180]

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

[zelda-tempest]

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

[lallamariamhabibi]

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

[birdpapi-deactivated20171121]

^absolutely

[verdant-witch]

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

[sm0k3-ring-deactivated20160109]

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

[satyrical-prince]

Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌

[anar-tea]

yesyesyesyes

[kateordie]

7. if I expect dudes not to “not all men” me how can I rly “not all white people” since it’s asking for the same exemption

New hobby idea: using phrases that sound like down-home folksy expressions you learned from your grandma but are actually just nonsense you just made up

- that man really salts my melon!

- you know what they say, it takes a bushel of corn to feed one chicken

- a louse will live on any head it lands on

- don’t put down a salt lick and say you ain’t got cows

- there’s a guy who eats half the berries and says the pie shell’s too big

- like digging a pond and hoping for ducks

[faedex-blog]

This was supposed to be a joke and all but as a southerner, these still make sense.

[lolrider]

its weird these don’t mean anything but you can still kind of intuit what they would mean if they were things people actually said.

[steel-dragon]

@lexicalpsychopathy I literally can’t help but picture you saying all of these

[grifalinas]

That man really salts my melon: Salt is actually frequently added to melons around here, so someone who salted your melon would be doing you a favor, or make something more appealing. Even though the framing presents it as a negative thing, so maybe you’d use it for someone who annoys you by doing you a favor.

It takes a bushel of corn to feed one chicken: Even if something might seem like a small ask, over time it might add up. A single chicken might eat a small amount of corn in a single day, but over time you’ll find you’ve bought lots of corn. Therefore, something that seems miniscule may in fact be a large commitment.

A louse will live on any head in lands on: Everyone can suffer through bad times and ill luck, regardless of their lot in life. (ie, anyone can suffer from depression, even if they haven’t got it “bad enough”)

Don’t put down a salt lick and say you ain’t got cows: There are multiple possible meanings for this. My favorite is don’t take time fixing a problem you don’t even have, ie, if you don’t have cows, you don’t have the problem of your cows needing a salt lick.

There’s a guy who eats half the berries and says the pie shell’s too big: Don’t blame circumstances for a problem of your own creation.

Like digging a pond and hoping for ducks: Don’t just hope something will turn out after one step, actually follow through all of them. Your pond could attract ducks, sure, or you could just go get ducks to live in your pond.

Seriously, every single one of these nonsenses you just made up follow a certain internal logic and make perfect sense.

[drst]

“Don’t put down a salt lick and say you ain’t got cows” reads more to me as “Don’t take steps to correct an obvious problem and then deny the problem exists out loud.”

I feel like I need to add these to my personal lexicon.

[ekjohnston]

I really, really like Like digging a pond and hoping for ducks.

Making up in-world expressions in Fantasy novels is one of my favourite things, (do they even HAVE ducks?), but doing it the real world is extra fun and I encourage it.

[closet-keys]

Whether or not a protest is “peaceful” is decided by the state, not the protestors.

There’s a reason the Women’s March wasn’t considered a riot, and it has everything to do with white privilege and nothing to do with how “well behaved” we were. Police show up to peaceful BLM protests already in riot gear all the time.

“The abuser’s problem is not that he responds inappropriately to conflict. His abusiveness is operating prior to the conflict: it usually creates the conflict, and it determines the shape the conflict takes.” ― Lundy Bancroft, Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
