In Need of a New Me

Finally getting it back

Go girl yeah girl

Yesssss 🙌

YAY

Ty ty all ily 🖤

I really passionately hate that when I tell people I have OCD I have to clarify that it’s “like actually with a diagnosis from a doctor and I take meds for it and stuff”

And like

When people respond “oh yeah when I clean my apartment I have to make sure it really is organized lol so ocd”

No

If you genuinely think you are recognizing the symptoms in yourself that’s one thing

But saying you are OCD because you wiped down you doorknobs after you had strep means I have to really go into detail about my experiences and I’m honestly really tired of people’s shocked reactions when I give facts and figures about the time spent on my compulsions, etc

Idk I think we should have more mental illness education in schools, for a whole lot of reasons, but at the moment because I’m minorly annoyed about OCD being perceived as the cute girl with the organized office and then having to explain that I spend hours making sure my oven is turned off, and having to clarify multiple times that I’m not exaggerating

Idk this is really rambley and I’m just putting my stream of consciousness on the internet really but basically

Mental health education

We should have it

Thank you for this post. It’s very important.

BABIES!!!

so the best thing about this is that bobcats, like just about every feline besides lions and domestic cats, are pretty solitary. they don’t really have friends. they aren’t really equipped to make friends. 

domestic cats, on the other hand, do know how to make friends. they are friendly to the point that lots of feral cats live in colonies— the females hang out together, even raise kids together, and the males like to spend nonsexual time with their baby mommas. they groom each other, play around, and have a particular tail position to signal to one another— straight up with the tip curled— that they’re friendly and happy to see each other. cats learned how to be chill with each other in order to take full advantage of human food sources: an ancient granary supplies enough rats for a lot of cats, as does a modern lady with a big bag of frisky bits, so it would be a waste of time and energy for any one cat to try and stake the entire foodsource out for exclusive use. less fighting means more eating and resting which means a longer, nicer life and a lot more kittens. 

so this stray cat, she obviously has no colony if she’s wandering around and sneaking into zoo enclosures, so she’s like ‘hey! there’s food here! what up, other cat, let’s be friends, let’s be friends and share that food’. and the bobcat is like ‘??????’ because actually wild cats are pretty cautious about initiating hostilities and anything new and aggressive makes them very worried. and the domestic cat is like ‘haha cool, ok, we’re friends now, big guy. no problems.’ and the bobcat is like ‘????? well…?? ok?’ and then they are friends. 

the super interesting thing about most wild cat species is they don’t really have the capacity to make friends on their own, especially outside of sibling bonds, but, if someone comes along and does all the friend-making themselves, they’ll totally roll with it. zoo cats can get really attached to their caregivers— or, in this case, a very confident little calico demonstrating exactly why her species has been so darn successful over the last nine thousand years . 

so anyway that is the best thing: bobcats are not equipped to make friends, but luckily for this bobcat this homeless lady did not give any shits and made friends anyway. and now they are both happy. 

#THE FACT THAT THE KEY TO DOMESTIC CAT’S SUCCESS IS THAT THEY LEARNED  #THE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP #IS A FUCKING HOOT

I will never be over the floofpaws of the bobcat attempting loafstance in that first picture

OH MY GOOOOOOOD

this video is the shit and no one can tell me otherwise

I’m really amused by the argument “You can’t expect straight writers to include LGBT+ characters. They’ve never experienced being LGBT+” 

Because like-

1) JK Rowling was never an 11 year old orphaned wizard boy. Tolkien was never an ELF. This is how writing works.

2) I, a bisexual woman, am perfectly capable of writing straight men? 

Why are you guys such bad writers?

Like, no, maybe you would struggle to write an accurate and realistic portrayal of a trans teens transitioning, or a gay teens experience with homophobia. But you know you don’t HAVE to go super in depth about those things to include LGBT+ characters AT ALL, right? We are more than the bigotry we endure.

OHHHHH THERE IT IS. 

this was the weirdest movie ever.

shrek 2 was the highest grossing film of 2004 and is the 26th highest grossing film of all time
