Three pics of the same run today. I love how Fitbit spazzes and fucks up with the how tracker XD. This is the shortest distance I've run this week. Also it's my fourth. Been keeping on talking it easy running... No pressuring myself to go faster just to enjoy doing whatever is comfortable.
what they say: cats are evil and unable to love
what they mean: i dont know how to handle small animals and consider them lashing out in SELF DEFENSE an insult
Usually what it boils down to is “I’m mad because the cat didn’t act like a dog”.
Pushing fragile things off tables and breaking them: Self defense.
Destroying Christmas Trees: Self defense, I mean the tree attacked them.
Scratching their owner’s eyeball: Self defense.
Scratching their sleeping owner’s face: Self defense.
Jumping on their owner’s back and clawing into their spine: Self defense.
Admittedly yeah
A dog doesn’t do those things because a dog’s version of self defense is to be a good animal who loves you and doesn’t attack you unless you attack them first.
I mean if a cat feels that threatened by everything in their owner’s household maybe the owner shouldn’t have gotten a cat.
Pushing fragile things off tables and breaking them: Playing. Cats are well-known to like to play with small objects. Your cat does not know what “fragile” means and does not understand the distinction between toy and not-toy objects. Place fragile things out of a cat’s line of sight and reach, and if you don’t provide them with enough enrichment items that they go looking for them, that’s on you.
Destroying Christmas Trees: Cats like to climb things. They’re not doing it to spite you.
Scratching their owner’s eyeball: Probably an accident, due to overstimulation when playing. It wasn’t trying to hurt you. Don’t anthropomorphize animals by attributing spite to them. Animals don’t do spite the way that humans do.
Scratching their sleeping owner’s face: Trying to rouse you with its paw, probably gently, because it loves you and wants to play with you.
Jumping on their owner’s back and clawing into their spine: Come on. If a cat is jumping on you, it loves you and wants to be close to you. Digging in with its claws is how it balances itself on an unstable surface and is purely a reflexive reaction. It isn’t intending to hurt you.
99% of cat behavioral problems stem from bored cats. Cats need to climb, need to scratch, and need small objects to play with. I only recommend adopting cats in pairs, so that they can keep each other entertained. Cats are not purely solitary. They get lonely, and lonely cats act out. Once again, your entire problem with cats as a species seems to stem from the fact that you don’t understand how cats express affection and it upsets you that they don’t do so the way that dogs do. Cats aren’t small dogs and cannot be expected to behave as such.

Dogs will also destroy shit IF YOU DON’T KEEP THEM PROPERLY STIMULATED.
The smarter the dog, the more destructive they tend to be when bored. So, don’t give me that shit of “dogs don’t do that.”
There is a reason it is a cultural touchstone that dogs chew up shoes or eat homework.
Also, dogs bite/snap in self-defense. Those teeth aren’t just for show.
So, yeah, don’t paint dogs as perfect obedient angels.
They’re animals just like cats and will act accordingly.
But I guess not today.
Apparently Remus Lupin and Ares is one and the same?

Wow this is the best thing I’ve ever seen
XD
THESE ARE LOVELY
…This is when storytelling and art collide in the most perfect visual synopsis for each and every one of these gems
I love all these stories!!
First 10k in a long while. And what a special occasion. I was given my SIL's number and registration because due to unforeseen circumstances she couldn't make it. Thanks action inadvertently allowed me to run for the first time with both my dad and my brother. They have said how I rubbed on them the running bug and even though I'm yet to go back to my old days it was an awesome experience.
Here’s further awesome proof that cosplay is for everyone! Brazilian cosplayer Solange, aka Tia sol (“Aunty Sun”) has won the heart of the internet with her wonderfully accurate homemade costumes and convention appearances around her home city of Manaus, Brazil.
“A friend said that I wouldn’t have the guts,” Solange told BuzzFeed News. “I chose a character and had the costume made without saying another word.”
“I don’t miss a single event in my city. I’d really like to visit other ones, but have you seen the price of the fares?”
“I never thought that I would be well received among the young people, I’ve made a lot of friends during all of this.” Cosplay conventions have become a sort of a haven for Solange: “I can launch myself into the world of make-believe, where anything goes.” Her next event is coming up in December. “I’m finishing up the painting on my new cosplay, Granny Juju from Jorel’s Brother.”
Follow Tia Sol on Facebook to keep up with her latest cosplay creations.

hey rb and tag a food from your culture that everyone loves but you hate
So let's try this one last time. Having a walk out with the puppies. One is clearly spoiled and needy (I'm looking at you Argos) as he won't let me pet the others XD. Dogs are a great motivation going outside moreso when they go all doe eyed begging me for a walk :)
Now I remember why I stopped posting. Different phone same ol shit from the Tumblr phone app 🤦
“Queer doesn’t mean “don’t label me,” it means “I am naming myself.” It means “ask me more questions if you[‘re] curious” and in the same breath means “fuck off.””
Some pics of this week. Trying to get back to the right frame of mind and going back to my hobbies. Going on the third week in a row now and I'm feeling better.
