Ramblings of a madman

Just my nonsensical and idiotic ramblings. Pay them no heed and enjoy or ignore as necessary. I am taking away my filter and throwing out straight crazy juice!

talking to outdoor cat defenders like

[novaeagle]

Cats are wild animals just like dogs. Cats are also PRIDE animals, meaning they survive much longer with more of them around. I’ve had one outdoor cat die by dogs and it was the last time we only had one cat. We always adopt two or three, and have witnessed MULTIPLE cases of them defending each other from foxes, coyotes, and even the neighbors dog when it broke free. Don’t leave one cat out on it’s own, adopt a brother or sister for it so they can survive.

Yet another outdoor cat defender proving my point

Pick some points to argue against and ignore the ones you can’t. You ignore the point that cats are invasive and hunt native wildlife to extinction for sport. “It’s dangerous for cats to be outside, so get multiple so they’ll be an EVEN BIGGER threat to the local ecosystem! This is definitely a good defense!”

It’s called “environmental amnesia” and it’s an actual issue environmentalists discuss how to combat. The climate crisis makes it more widespread but it’s been something that’s happening for generations. The story of The Lorax describes it beautifully. The idea that what you remember is what you consider normal, but if the changes happen slowly over generations, you don’t see how large they are because you don’t personally remember them being very different, even if you were told stories about it.

My Argentinean housemate just got a book on proper American accents and I’ve never felt more attacked

like why’s it gotta be so accurate

[jaspertheshark]

What’s fascinating to me is realizing that we simply ignore the glottal stop in every word that begins with a vowel when we speak quickly. Like unless you’re enunciating or speaking slowly you simply tell that glottal stop “fuck you” and hook the vowel to the previous consonant sound. Amazing. Glottal stops more like waste of time amirite

Being in a room with straight people talking about straight things is so exhausting.

[thegayredmage]

What the hell are ‘straight things’?

[theonlylivingboyinnewyork]

Marriages and mortgages and families and opposite sex attraction talk and talking about sex openly without being made to feel like you are making people uncomfortable and hearing straight people talk about how hard dating is for them and hearing straight people talk about how they are such victims and their lives are shit when what this really means is they aren’t married at age 22 and sexist crap that drives me crazy like traditional weddings and how great religion is and how the world is so lovely and kind and great because people don’t know what it’s like to be a minority and how straight people are like “this person is so lovely” when you know they are homophobic or listening to straight people say things are “gay” or talk about people who dress unconventionally (ie. men who wear dresses) as being weird or doing impressions of gay people or asking “why don’t you have a boyfriend?” judgementally as if it is just that easy or getting annoyed at you when you complain about how hard your life is because it’s easy for them cause they are straight and wouldn’t know the first thing about it or having to come out to people all the time cause they just assume you’re straight and getting weird looks like “tmi” or “you don’t look gay” or “I don’t care what you do in the bedroom” or having to hear straight people talk about really cute straight couples or really great romantic films or books about straight people or just watching people live super conventional lives and do really sexist old fashioned things just because no one is brave enough to question or think about anything… and worst of all knowing that if you were to say or talk about anything gay everyone would get uncomfortable and not join in on the conversation and wish you had said nothing… and then people will be like “you hardly said anything”, “you’re so quiet”, “you don’t talk much”, “are you shy”, “you’re boring”.

No bitch I’m gay and I don’t relate to nor am I really interested in any of the shit that you have been yelling to my face for the last hour.

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

[supapoopa]

What a time to be alive.

[tenthcorner]

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

[kineticpenguin]

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

[brunhiddensmusings]

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

I crack up every time at seeing that runestone.

Master of None - 2x08 - “It’s not like this was my choice. It’s just who I am.”

[nprfreshair]

Aziz Ansari spoke with Terry Gross about the second season of his Netflix series Master of None. Here’s what he said about the “Thanksgiving” episode: 

On working with Lena Waithe to write the “Thanksgiving” episode, based on Waithe’s experiences growing up gay and coming out to her family

“I told [Lena] from the get-go, you need to write this with me and I’ll help you and we’ll get this in shape and make it feel like the show, but you’ve got to make sure we get this right. …

That episode, it’s just me and four black women, the whole episode. I joked with Melina [Matsoukas], who directed the episode, and Lena, “This is the most amount of screen time I’ve seen on any film or television show, with one Indian character and four black women.” How am I going to write that episode by myself? It would be offensive! You know? I guess I don’t have the gall of all those white writers who write for minorities.”

My sister took a bunch of meds for her sinus infection and now she’s got the drawstrings on her hoodie drawn so tight its puckers around her face and she’s dabbing to the family guy themesong

I asked her why she was doing that and she said “I FEEL LIKE IM BEING BIRTHED” and resumed dabbing. 

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

let me tell y'all about my little sister, Gem She’s been staying with us for a few days (she was originally only gonna stay Saturday-Tuesday cause of the hurricane) but Mom has had a bunch of issues crop up so she got to stay longer In the time she’s been here, we’ve had the following incidents - Went to goodwill, cashier told her “thanks for shopping with us” she responded “you too” and got so embarrased she yelled “NO” and ran for the doors - fucked up trying to eat whipped cream from the can and accidentally did whippets - laughed so hard she hurt herself - tried to twerk and threw out her back so badly she lost feeling in her legs, began to laugh maniacally and scream “IVE CRIPPLED MYSELF” - She’s lactose intolerant but every time I turn around she’s got a cup of milk - she caught a sinus infection and it made her throw up, so she puked and then immediately yelled “DEE IM STARVING LET ME GET SOME HOTWINGS” - made tea and set up the chess board, then remarked to me “This would feel incredibly sophisticated if your chess board wasn’t Mario themed.” - told us about the time she got into a fist fight with her now best friend for seducing his girlfriend - sighed heavily at her phone and mutter “fucking thot” and refused to clarify

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

- keeps responding to my girlfriend with “thats what she said” 

- Told my girlfriend I love her and Gem whispered “gaaaaaaaaay” as loud as possible 

- demanded we take her for ice cream because she’s sick, i said “Gem, you’re lactose intolerant” and she said “I’m gonna puke anyway, it doesn’t matter, nothing matters” 

- I joked about her chicken on a stick possibly being cat because she said it tasted weird, she responded with “no, thats not what cat tastes like” 

- told me my food making her sick was a compliment because all she eats is Takis and Pizza Rolls and my food has to have better ingredients and nutritional value than those to make her sick

- told me that she went snooping in Cousin Eds internet history and that “oh he’s super gay, which explains his obsession with being manly”

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

Update: - said that eating a chicken is as weird as she’s willing to get with her meat - got indignant because I said “moist” - said the male lead in The Devils Candy looks like a McDonalds grease trap - too many puns - said a girl on tv was “unnecessarily pretty, probably a gap model on the side” - saw us about to click Death Note and screamed “NO! DO IT A FIX! NONE OF THIS”
