Queer from somewhere in Latin America

I'm a fan of Hasan, but this... Yikes.

He really needs to own up to the situation and visibly change his relationship with Kaya, beyond just controlling the narrative around that clip.

I get that he may come from a different cultural background (my own family sees dogs mainly as “animals that owe obedience”). It can be hard to unlearn that mindset.

But our pets aren’t here to obey us; they need to trust us. We design their environment for their wellbeing, not just our convenience.

There may be many (excuses ) reasons behind his choice to allegedly use a shock collar, which is in most contexts, unjustifiable. But beyond that, the use of her as a prop needs to stop... If there isn’t a real acknowledgment and a visible change in their dynamic (like Kaya being allowed to leave the frame if she wants, or just being active while he streams - because she’s an animal, not a prop), then it’s bye-bye Hasan for me.

I know how incredibly annoying our pets can be, especially when we’re working from home and trying to focus. But even then, taking five minutes to play outside with my pup makes both of us happier. I owe her that respect: I was the one who chose to bring her into my life. I’m her whole world, she makes me happy, and I’m responsible for giving her care and attention in return.

I understand that structural critical Marxism highlights many more “urgent” priorities, but treating a pet with patience and kindness is one of the most coherent ways to actually practice the better world we talk about.

Like… don’t be so swallowed up by the dystopic narratives of the world: look at that fluffy ball you have in front of you and tell me you can’t give her a better now.

I get that when we're used to approaching the world through a logical or structural lens, things like this can seem “minor” or not worth the same level of attention. But that’s exactly where the gap shows, it’s in these everyday, seemingly small interactions where the bigger structures either get repeated or transformed. And recognizing that isn’t about moralizing; it’s about actually taking responsibility for the weight of the position you hold in that imbalance.

My relationship with my pup has made that clear. Her joie de vivre lets me share moments with nature that simply wouldn’t exist without her, and that’s exactly what reminds me why I care so much about trying to build a better present alongside nature, freely and joyfully.

There’s nothing less antifascist than allegedly shocking your dog. What we need are real bonds: relationships built on trust, not just comrades. Not cold, strategic alliances based on utility or affinity before recognizing how fucking amazing it is that we’re alive and get to share our collective existence from a place of care rather than convenience.

I should probably go read some philosophy now.

Bye.

i spent $32 on this fucking bowl at the moma and at first i felt bad buying it bc it was so expensive but ive had a terrible day today and every time i look at my lil bowl im like :o) you know what. i can get through anything with this bowl by my side

[sophie531896273240810891]

i literally get what marie kondo was talking about now

[sophie531896273240810891]

bc everyone keeps requesting to see it filled :)

[lew-basnight]

I don’t know how long I’ve been here. Time seems to pass differently. But the place is cozy and private so I have no complaints. And whenever I’m hungry, I go outside with my bowl and walk down the hill to the shore. Sometimes the lake is made of soup. Sometimes it’s huge pasta noodles the size of barges. Sometimes it’s breakfast cereal. Sometimes it’s dumplings the size of great whales. I dip my little bowl and take a portion and carry it back up to the house.

Today I found a new bowl! In its center is a little hill with a little house. I will carry it down to the shore and fill it up, and whomever lives in that little house can have a tiny portion of my meal. I hope they have a nice bowl to put it in..

gameshow called 'pride or prejudice' in which the contestants are presented with a gay joke and have to guess if it was made by a queer person or a homophobe

[e-the-village-cryptid]

the contestants are all vaguely liberal straight people who are desperately uncomfortable with the entire concept

[nonamemanga]

Alternative: contestants are all LGBT having a great time with drinks (pineapple soda is the best) and the host is a straight liberal who has to read everything out so we end up with some great pained face gifs.

First question:

Sylvia Rivera calling out gays and lesbians for their trans exclusion in 1973 at the Christopher Street Liberation Day rally (x)

[theothersiiide]

Still relevant

[russianspacegeckosexparty]

And if I’m not mistaken, Sylvia Rivera was *specifically* addressing WHITE gays and white feminists here. She called out these middle/upper class white folks who strove only for assimilation while neglecting Black and brown LGBT people who were poor and struggling and languishing in prison. White Gays and feminists didn’t like the way revolutionary figures like Sylvia were “rocking the boat”

Specification is important here because antiblackness and racism are still rampant in the LGBT community and Black + brown LGBT folks have had to make communities of our own because white LGBT people ostracize us.

ACTUALLY acting silly is one of the greatest joys of life. if you see me in the street meowing back at cats I see and kicking snow piles down know that I am living my best life.

in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this

[deluxeloy]

So, y’all remember that post that said animals in urban areas slowly became nocturnal to avoid encounters with humans? Apparently that includes humans.
