tbh in some cases calling my projects "wips" kinda feels like a joke, because it implies that it's actually "in progress" rather than being a thing that plagues my brain every once in a while.

“Kill shelters” are the shelters you need to donate to.

“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”

No, shut up, listen to me for a second.

“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.

These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.

On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.

This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.

These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community

Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.

These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.

These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.

These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.

Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.

Sincerely, an animal welfare student who’s tired of seeing the hardest working professionals shat on because of circumstances they can’t control.

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

I lived in a very pro trump town and I'm convinced this is what happened. It was mostly retired people who lived in newly built homes with pools (in the desert! there were gulf courses too or course). The acted like they were super oppressed and everyone was out to get them. Many of them's whole personality was around trump.

We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what you’re doing, before you make any more calls or read any more social media posts, please populate the Federal Register with dissent.

Btw if you see a survey from a website called "Better Me" that supposedly rates your "trauma" be aware that it's made by the BetterHelp company and is weighted to always be at least in the "Moderate" range, with most ending up in the "Severe" cause it wants you to subscribe to their fake online therapy. It's not real or to be trusted.

How do you make people fall in love with you

challenge them to a duel 

Tw: ed + a bit of blood

his ed isn’t talked about enough :/

as someone who also has arfid I find it sad how little it’s talked about :(

*commissions info*

Hey you!

Yes, you!!

Have you ever wanted a little trinket version of your fursona for your shelf? Or perhaps a hand sculpted, meticulously painted pendant of your palisman? Maybe even a hand drawn keyring, sticker, or art piece of your chosen character?

If so, please consider my little bedroom workshop as a candidate for your commission :)

I can do digital pieces and traditional pieces done with marker, I can do stickers and keyrings, sculptures and reference sheets! I specialise in animal designs, but I can absolutely draw humans! (Though I cannot sculpt them, I've tried and the result was horrifying TwT)

I am also a sewist, so I can make you a tail for your fursona and possibly a snake puppet! Or perhaps you'd like a fluffy keyring made from some of my fur and fabric scraps? I'm planning on also doing fursuit partials at some point in the coming year, once I've got more practice in (making two more for myself and one for my partner)

I love to be challenged, so please don't hesitate to request all manner of strange creatures and concepts! (though I won't draw mechs or sculpt people/mechs)

More information can be found here: bats-in-nappies.carrd.co

You can either DM me or fill in my quote form to find out about prices! Whichever you prefer. Please note, I will be using paypal to take payments

Please have a look at some of my recent works! All drawn or made by me - including the patchwork quilt seen in image 5!! :)

Both above images were made by me, too!!

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.

Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.

Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.

Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.

Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.

Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.

I hope Nael knows their poem made me cry

I honestly feel like the proliferation of LED headlights was the canary in the coalmine for the general attitude we see in the political climate these days and i'm not even remotely kidding

5 things your character can't do while speaking

Choke. Just think about it, seriously. Think about what choking is and imagine speaking while it’s happening. That would fuckin’ hurt, man.

Hiss. Look, it’s just not possible, okay? No matter how “evil” you want your character to seem.

Snarl. Animals snarls. The Beast from Beauty and the Beast snarls. The Hulk snarls. You know who doesn’t snarl? PEOPLE WHEN THEY’RE SPEAKING.

Shriek. Come on, 99% of the time, “shriek” is not the word you want.Let’s face it: if you put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence, your reader gets the picture. Don’t bring to mind banshees and screaming toddlers.

Sneer. I’m not even going to bother explaining this one. “SNEER” ISN’T EVEN A SOUND.

straight men have beauty standards for men that are completely different than the beauty standards women and gay men have for men and then they get mad when they conform to the beauty standards other podcast bros set for them and women still don’t find them attractive
