Outdoor cat owners have no concept of basic ecology and it shows. "You're saying my kitty is EVIL for following its instincts???????" obviously not, you idiot, its an animal. I don't blame it because it is designed to hunt and doesn't understand human morality. The cat's human owner, though, should stop pretending that millions of people letting their pets hunt native species for fun WON'T make their ecossystem collapse. If you stop hearing birdsong in your neighborhood its your fault 👍.

[da-janela-lateral]

Also cats are domestic animals????? Its your pet. Its your responsability to take care of it and it certainly doesn't look like you are doing this if your pet spends 90% of the day on the streets. Outside cats are in great risk for being ran over, stolen, beaten, poisoned, mauled or eaten by wild animals. A mildly bored cat is way better than a dead one and besides? Just offer your pet enrichment. You don't need to risk its life to keep it happy. You can even let it outside with supervision!! Look how many options we have. Insisting the only way to keep your cat happy is allowing it to wreck the environment and possibly die is not only fucking irresponsible, but also lazy and shows that you don't really care for the wildlife around you.

[miss-m-winks]

I live in a neighborhood with so many outdoor cats. They will fight in our front yard at night. They will sneak onto our back porch. We have a dog who hates cats. He has actively chased them from our yard, and if a time ever came when he happened to catch up to one, it would be a bloodbath.

Our neighborhood is near a field that happens to be home to at least one coyote. I have seen that coyote wander down the road and people have even spotted it in fenced backyards before. I'm sure one reason it dares to wander into backyards is because it knows there are cats wandering freely around here.

The red tailed hawks in the area may not be large enough to carry off most full grown cats, but that doesn't mean they won't try.

Raccoons aren't exactly nice to cats either.

And i can easily point out several houses, including my own, with flowering plants out front that could absolutely make a cat sick or worse. Lilies, for example.

Even before tackling the problems of cars, malicious people, poison from pest control, or the ecological damage cats themselves cause, just the fact that other people will decorate their own yards with plants that can poison a cat should be enough of a reason to keep them inside!

Hell, just the fact that you don't know what they're doing or when they'll be back should discourage you from letting a cat wander outdoors! Anything could happen out there! You don't know what they're eating, you don't know what injuries they might get, what diseases they could come home with, or anything. That's scary! Just keep them inside!

Just a reminder, that generative AI has no place in Solarpunk 🥰

None 🥰

[fennopunk]

I will reblog this again and again as long as I have to witness the AI slob shared as "solarpunk". It's not. generative AI is not, and never will be solarpunk.

[fanboyingoverdemigods]

I’d just like to say good luck to everyone taking SAT’s or Exams (or any tests for that matter) and I wish you the best of luck on them!

It never ceases to amaze me how much of anglophone's sense of morality is completely captive to whatever's legal in the US and UK. Every recent moral scare or discourse can be traced upstream to some bill that was attempted or successfully passed 5-15 years ago, before which it wasn't even widely considered an issue. Seeing supposedly progressive people turning hard towards sexual censorship and anti-sex education, justifying people getting arrested or having their income confiscated because "it's against the law/corporate code of conduct", forming witch hunts to brand random pin-up artists as sexual predators, and reifying conservative taboos... it really feels surreal when I still remember last decade how it was a common refrain to make fun of entertainment industries for permitting military propaganda and violence more than a half-naked body.

[boccher]

Similar feeling to. When it became evident that China was self-sufficient and not just a production factory owned by the west, and the US started an economic campaign against China. Everyone and their mother flipped their switch from fetishising Chinese culture (not a particularly good thing either) to vilifying every Chinese person they see and treating everything coming out of China as surveillance and propaganda from the 21st century manifestation of Nazi Germany. I was a grade schooler while this cultural switch was occurring, and even then it felt blatantly absurd to me.

[triwku]

The China thing is crazy in the West. In Latin America China is just another super power whith whom we have to deal with. Thus, I think that there is not that much fear mongering about it (also we are more used to socialism in general so whatever). However, when you read Western media, it's almost funny to me. Like "oh no, evil China wants to get its claws on the raw materials of the global south for the production of gren energy, such a villainous scheme, how can we stop them" while they are literally doing the same. Their double standard would be hilarious if it didn't have actual consequences on real life.

and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.

If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.

[jungwildeandfree]

This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.

y'all need to relearn the word erratic and stop using schizophrenic/bipolar/psychotic as a replacement

Tu voz

Emboscado en mi escritura

cantas en mi poema.

Rehén de tu dulce voz

petrificada en mi memoria.

Pájaro asiduo a su fuga.

Aire tatuado por un ausente.

Reloj que late conmigo

para que nunca despierte.

Alejandra Pizarnik

Your voice

Ambushed in my writing

you sing in my poem.

Hostage of your sweet voice

petrified in my memory.

Bird fond of its escape.

Air tattooed by an absent.

Clock that beats with me

so I'll never wake up.

Alejandra Pizarnik

I was reading Pizarnik and I wanted to share this beautiful poem with my partner, who doesn't speak Latino (aka Spanish), and I realized that my improvised translation captured it very well.

TUA VOZ

Emboscado em minha escritura cantas em meu poema. Refém de tua doce voz petrificada em minha memória. Pássaro preso à tua fuga. Ar tatuado por um ausente. Relógio que bate comigo para que nunca desperte

When I was at the natural history museum, the fossil section had stickers on the glass to engage children - things like "Flap your arms like a pterodactyl" or "Measure your hand against the mosasaurus." However the first of these I encountered, which I found alarming and threatening without context, was a sticker reading "Struggle like you are stuck in a tar pit"

[clonerightsagenda]

I feel like more bright colors, an exclamation mark, or a more whimsical font choice would've also helped here to indicate that it is a Fun Activity For Children. Instead it felt like getting instructed in my inevitable fate by a road sign

Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year!  Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3

PS: if you liked this, there’s a whole book of these comics available now!

[melgillman]

I’m reblogging this 7-year-old comic of mine because, not only is it somehow still circulating, it just passed 400,000 notes??? Thank you, several hundred thousand internet strangers, for keepin’ this ol’ goat girl goin’ so long

(Also hi, I’m still making fairy-tale-flavored lesbian romance comics and have a new one coming out very soon…)

I know this is a deeply American thing to say but I am begging everyone to stay the fuck away from military recruiters. Especially high school kids. You are going to be seeing an unholy amount of them in schools or around schools or literally anywhere kids are known to congregate. THIS INCLUDES ALL FORMS OF ROTC. Stay the fuck away from military recruiters. As someone who’s familiar with entirely too many branches through entirely too many friends and family, including my partner, recruiters are authorized to say literally any fucking thing they think will make you sign on that line. They cannot and will not deliver on those promises. They need bodies for the war they’re pretending is only now starting up again. That’s all you are. A body. Stay the FUCK away from the military.

theres a real answer to this. if i understand correctly because of the way proportions work a smaller thing’s ratio of surface area to interior is greater, so a mini mnm will have proportionally more candy shell and less chocolate interior than a normal size mnm. so even if you increased in size this much the ratio of chocolate to shell in a normal mnm would remain the same so they would not taste like the more-candy-per-total-mass mini mnms. if mnms increased in size proportionally with you, they would taste more chocolatey than normal mnms

this is a similar concept to the reason why  creatures in the deep sea can evolve to be gigantic despite the rarity of food sources: its actually metabolically more efficient to be fuckhuge because your surface area/body mass ratio will be less and thus youll lose less heat through your skin (relative to your mass) to the surrounding cold environment of the sea than a smaller organism would lose

[evilthotiana]

you’re everything
