Gonna Reblog This So You Can See More Notes. This Post Needs Them.

I have cats and I call them dirty, naughty, witch and stinky but as a joke and affectionately. I love cats but I can't comprehend people who actively dream up how to hurt cats. Like I get telling an asshole cat that someone will punt them if they continue to act shitty but I knew someone who was told that this person wished they could kick a cat so hard it gets bruises. Unbelievable.

The difference between dog-people-who-don’t-like-cats and cat-people-who-don’t-like-dogs is just so staggering and, quite honestly, disturbing.

Most cat people who don’t like dogs either don’t like dogs out of fear or because they don’t want the big time commitment and responsibility that owning a dog brings with it (-> going on walks, going to dog training school) and that’s that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone do a general character assassination of dogs.

But dog people who don’t like cats will really go on about how cats aren’t… capable of love or some shit? How they don’t want an animal who sets personal boundaries - the most cited thing is always the “and they will just hit you at random” (when that’s not even true; cats hit ‘at random’ either due to trauma/abuse or because they have warned you beforehand to stop whatever behavior they dislike and you didn’t listen).

That’s just so wild to me. Cats have such an awful rep for, what exactly? Having personalities? Setting personal boundaries? Not being fucking stuffed toys?

All I’m hearing when people complain about that is that they want a stuffed toy they can pick up whenever they want and can cuddle however long they want and then put back on the shelf when they don’t want to play with it anymore and I’m sorry but you don’t want a pet at all, you want a stuffed toy.

A dog doesn’t deserve you either?? I may not have personal experience with owning a dog, but I somewhat suspect dogs to have personalities too? To want affection when they want it too, and to want to be left alone when they need downtime too…?

And cats show love. How is it that in the year 2023, when cat videos are not even just on YouTube but also on tiktok and are literally on everyone’s fingertips, that people still have the misconception that cats don’t show love or aren’t capable of love that’s so fucking messed up it’s just so severely fucked up.

"Excuse me, but I wanted to say-"

No, why would I excuse you for interrupting me? You dug this pit of snakes now go slither inside with them.

Hi.

I've noticed a few blogs following me, that haven't posted or reblogged anything. If you're a lurk account pls comment on this post within 24 hours or I'll assume you are a bot

To be specific, it's everywherefilm38 and powerfuljump28. This post is for you.

This is only for blogs who haven't posted anything or reblogged anything at all. Others, feel free to have discussions with me or just enjoy whatever comes up here.

I did not like this. I wanna cry now. I'm never going on tiktok.

these should be considered animal abuse

People are coming from Twitter or Tik Tok because they don't like that atmosphere. Or others (like me) don't like the ways of interaction there or find too much toxicity on those apps with no sense of humor to balance it and join Tumblr straightaway instead. I don't like making vids or posting pictures. I like being a bit weird and talking about my interests without being taken seriously and having fun in general and people appreciating that instead of trying to find about my real life.

I think the worst possible outcome of tumblr getting popular again would be twitter types registering complaints about being told to get devoured by swarms of ravenous bees over their lame opinions, and staff feeling an obligation to ban threats of violence or whatever.

Also, several people who are immigrants won’t be able to tell the difference as daffodils don't grow in their native place. Do they deserve to die for that?

James Wong is one of the most beleagured men on Twitter. Not only did he recently get fired from the Observer for publicly objecting to platforming a TERF, he has a bunch of idiots arguing that daffodils (toxic) bundled like spring onions and placed in the produce section next to other alliums isn't dangerous because people should "know better" somehow.

Marks and Spencer is a UK-based retailer with some stores in a few other countries as well. I haven't seen daffodils sold like this in the U.S., but this is your regular reminder that staff at any given store don't necessarily know how toxic the plant products they're selling are. If you see something like this, bring it to the store's attention and also notify their corporate office.

My thing is that i do live my life sans tik tok i dont use it to do anything i dont get information from it i dont buy (?????) from randos on there and im not even doing a holier-than-thou thing thats just the way ive lived my life bc im old and tired lol.

But like - lets look at India. India did ban tik tok mainly due to a conflict w china (which is a trade partner/adversary just like us) and let me tell you. Indians did not suddenly Enter The Monastery lol they are doing all of their misinformation, snake oil hawking, and religious extremism JUST FINE on other platforms mainly reels.

All thats to say that i dont think banning tiktok will solve the problems i want it to solve but it also won't be the end of the line. There are or will be other platforms - probably worse in some ways and better in others. Tiktok is not a public utility idk

All the fans of "The remarried empress"

what’s the opposite of “i ship it”? i don’t mean anti-shipping i mean more along the lines of “this couple got together in canon and i want front rows seats to their future bloody bloody divorce“

What

These are so pretty omg
