A border collie named Betsy didn't just follow commands--she mapped language, recognized images, and challenged what we believe about animals

wait- about the thing you said about actors in misogynistic roles- does it not matter to you whether or not the role is portrayed positively or negatively? i dont know; i feel like the light in which the misogyny is portrayed makes a difference because if the misogynist is the Bad Guy then being that kind of asshole is shown as not good. which is a feminist message and especially in media aimed for younger people, influences kids to not be misogynistic. which is a good thing i think

the previous ask was an honest question; i definitely dont want to come off as rude. english is not my first language so please dont take offensively what i said!

No problem, I always answer when people are genuinely curious and don’t insult me! :)

I’ve already explained the whole thing here. (Not blaming you for not finding it, the notes on this post are a horrifying mess.)

tl;dr: I was talking about “very misogynistic movies”, not “misogynistic roles” (literally the words I used), and just venting on my (not very popular) blog in a silly over-the-top post about my personal exasperation with awful misogynistic movies, and then a whole lot of people started calling me names and making assumptions and I was like ????????

i cant believe i didnt know you were a synesthete? im one too; i have ordinal linguistic personification and grapheme color synesthesia. ive been following you for your carmilla stuff for a good long while and i am just so excited to find someone else with it!! ive only ever met one other person with it and i kind of think she was bsing me about it :/

I love meeting other synesthetes! I’ve met two other people irl who have it, but our types are very different. It’s so fasciinating to compare the different types.

Okay so there’s a few that are just plain old powerful Harry and then there’s jealous Harry which leads into powerful Harry. Here’s a few I had laying around:Powerful Harry:All Our Secrets Laid Bare-http://archiveofourown.org/works/1227880/chapters/2516563

Dragon Tamer-http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/jennavere/DT.html(This one is really just more jealous Harry than anything but Harry is really dominant and can be quite powerful when he is jealous. But really I just recommend this fic to anyone that will listen)

border-collies replied to your photo “So I got hit by a flash flood this morning and it sucks.”

thats terrible im so sorry. i hope your things are okay. do you live somewhere that this happens a lot,

I think the wooden furniture, my mom's bed and the washing machine are done for. If the water level rises more (and there's still a chance for that) we'll have to say goodbye to the refrigerator, freezer and our sofas.

Yeah, I sorta do. Apparently it's a trend to have a big flood in November every five years or so. We had been hoping that this house Dad built last year would be high enough to escape the flood but welp.

king kong: what are some questionable choices you've made lately?

heheh there are a lot, but the only one thats really coming to mind rn is putting off 2 essays until now, like, i still have a week and a half to do them, but i don't know where to start

cthulhu: do you like the ocean? why or why not?

Yes! I love the ocean, it's so wide and expansive and there are so many funky things in it. tbh i just want them to find, like bunch of biologically impossible things, like, how cool would that be? also, its wet and stuff
