The window visual did me in I’m wheezing
I haven’t seen this in years and yet it is burned into my memory forever.
This is on the short list of Eternal Reblog because it’s fucking legendary.

I think this is super important to remember.
No kill shelters result in animals dumped on the highway and tossed in the river because the rescues wont take them. That’s the part they never tell you.
Meanwhile the spca will take every animal, and if they have to euthanize them at least it will be done kindly and not via neglect or cruelty.
Because people in the notes are not getting this, let me explain:
No-kill shelters TURN AWAY animals. When they’re full - and they often are because most of these no-kill shelters are small - they stop taking them in. While they are “taking their time to find the right homes for every single animal”, many other animals never get in the door. Somehow they don’t count those animals, or track what happens to them. A success for them doesn’t include the ones they turned away. They’re taking their time because they can.
The No-Kills who brag about 100% adoption rates are the worst, because they tend to reject the most. The animals who will be difficult to adopt out? They just don’t take those. Special needs? Too old? If they’re going to be hard to adopt out, they can claim to be full, even if they’re not.
They are telling owners they absolutely cannot take their fifteen year old cat because they are full of litters of kittens. Adorable kittens that will turn over quickly, and boost their adoption numbers. So what happens to the fifteen year old cat? After days of being rejected at the shelters they get dumped on the side of the road somewhere, or worse.
You cannot imagine the VOLUME of animals that a city shelter deals with. The kill shelters are not allowed to turn anyone away. The difficult cases, the special needs, the elderly, the feral. The dog that bites, the cat that pees everywhere. Every animal is going to be taken in and treated with kindness. They are going to be assessed and treated for their fleas and conditions and behavioral problems. They will get their time on the adoption floor. They will get the best chance possible to find a new home. And if it’s not possible, they will be humanely euthanized, and that cage space will go to the next animal who is already waiting for it. It never stops. While you were working on the paperwork to adopt out 1 cat, three people brought in 4 more. It’s a numbers game that you cannot win if you aren’t turning people away.
A lot of times kill shelters get the animals that the no-kill shelters refused to take. Maybe their owners bring them. Or maybe they got literally thrown in the garbage, abandoned, or put in a bag and tossed in the river, when the no-kill shelter said they were full. The police and rescuers will bring these poor injured animals to the city shelter where they will be cared for. The volunteers will spend days and weeks trying to wash the tar out of their fur, or treat their broken bones, or whatever other horrible thing has happened to them. They will feed and house them. They will put most of them in new homes. They will save many many more animals, by orders of magnitude, than a no-kill shelter ever will. A no-kill shelter will brag about dozens or maybe hundreds of adoptions. Kill shelters are dealing in thousands of successful adoptions, and they still have to euthanize because it just isn’t enough. There are just so many animals to take in.
And then, after all this, the No-Kill Shelters get to claim the moral high ground somehow, and self-righteous types will refuse to adopt from the only shelter that takes absolutely everyone. It’s infuriating.

“photoshopping images is morally reprehensible because of some ways people choose to use it” was a conversation for literally 15 years before generative models cut out the work entirely and made it seem more reprehensible for the fact that all you needed was intent, as if doing the work yourself doesn't say something way stranger about you. not that it's even that less weird to make deepfakes with generative models than by hand but the point is that people will use any tool available to do weird invasive shit like that and you can't just blame the medium
"dude llm brains are so ill-understood and fucked up and alien" sure but human meatbrains are even more so; i'd daresay llm scientists these days know strictly more about their object of study than meatbrain scientists know of theirs. and ofc the llm guys have been around nowhere near as long. so if anything the problem of llm consciousness is straightforwardly easier than the problem of meatbrain consciousness, and if we're being honest with ourselves the latter isn't all that hard either. if you give it like half an hour of serious thought i'm sure you'll figure out the answer, i believe in you
its kind of funny that Iroha kind of did become the Bamboo Cutter with how things went... though in terms of roles, she's also the Emperor at the end of the story
seems like she did end up seeing her 80 years in the future :(
ive been laughing at this picture for hours and i think its because it gives off the impression of the living embodiment of a dril tweet

a lot of the modern world is very easy and convenient unless you have an edge case, in which case not even god can help you
traveling in mainland china as a foreigner is the biggest/worst example of this. if you do not have a phone with wechat and alipay you cannot do anything. you might be able to find a street vendor that accepts yuan but if you do not have 1) a working smart phone, with 2) a chinese phone number, and 3) ability to install wechat/alipay, and 4) ability to understand the arcane wechat/alipay payment configuration process for foreigners, you basically need to go to the nearest embassy because you're not getting lodging or transport without it. if you do have it? you don't need cards or cash or transit passes or even carry a wallet at all, all you have to do is just beep your phone and you're done. but if you lose your phone...
Moments that reveal your Character's Loneliness!!
✧ Keeping a running list in their head of things to tell someone, even though there's no one to tell.
✧ Talking to the cat. Not in a playful way. In a confessional way.
✧ Lingering at the checkout counter a beat too long because the cashier made eye contact.
✧ Watching the clock on Friday evenings and feeling something they can't quite name drop in their chest.
✧ Answering "what did you do this weekend?" with something tidied up and social-sounding, leaving out the two days they saw no one.
✧ Muting their TV just to hear how loud the silence actually is.
✧ Ordering too much food and eating alone with the plates set out, taking up the whole table.
✧ Spending longer than necessary in public places (bookshops, grocery stores) because being around strangers is close enough.
✧ Re-reading old messages from people who don't talk to them anymore, not out of longing but out of proof they existed to someone.
✧ Getting very invested in strangers' lives online: their updates, their kids, their ordinary days.
✧ Starting conversations with service workers and then feeling ashamed of how much they wanted it to continue.
✧ Making plans they know won't happen just for the brief warmth of having something to look forward to.
✧ Dreaming about people they barely know.
✧ Waking grateful, then embarrassed.
✧ Keeping their coat on too long at parties, as though they're still deciding whether to stay.

I've read a few recently published books, and there's this recurring pattern where if anyone does anything bad and interesting, they have to later talk about it in a way that makes it clear that it was a misunderstanding/ justified/ not their fault, so they're still a good person. and if they have a disagreement with another character, they have to therapy talk it out, regardless of their background. it doesn't matter if this is a street urchin with three teeth who just stabbed and kidnapped someone, you will get eloquent sterile therapy speak that will smooth out any possible emotional tension. and everyone asks for permission before they kiss, and waits for a clear enthusiastic yes. again, doesn't matter the character's background or situation, they will ask "can I please kiss you," because if they didn't, that could get all yucky and uncertain, couldn't it? and if a character is from a rich family, they will hate being in a rich family, and hate wealth signifiers, and actually be all for class equality. and everyone is casually queer, without thought being put into how that would mesh with the society that is being described. like yes, this is violent class-based system obsessed with inheritance, but no, it's not actually a problem that the child they've coldly groomed to take on the family mantle is unwilling to beget an heir because of gay. the parents might be terrible, cruel and fascistic, but they're not homophobic! I don't know, it just seems like EVERYTHING that could actually be messy gets sanded and sanded until it's smooth as a shark, but the Fun Violence is allowed to stay, because bloodshed doesn't actually bother anyone or have any consequence apart from your rogue character shrugging and going oops, was that me? the rogue is still a good person though. if you think they're not, just wait for the two solid pages of introspection. and yes they started the book by slitting two throats, but that was fine. they will ask permission before hugging you.
