I love this video because it’s one of the few ones I’ve seen where an animal is being messed with using a holiday prop and is totally okay with it. This is a super happy, relaxed cat who really does enjoy the skriches and does not appear to be bothered at all by the fact they’re coming from spoopy decorations and not living human hands.
Bonus points because the person doing it is being really gentle and calm.
Wolves React To Gamekeeper Who Had Been Away On Maternity Leave
“WHERE’S YOUR PUPPY! WE WANNA SEE YOUR PUPPY! DID YOU JUST HAVE THE ONE? DO YOU HAVE THEM WITH YOU? ARE THERE PHOTOS?”
I’m not a hundred percent positive but I’m pretty sure this is the wild life center where I visited wolves.
And the safety briefing included the question “So if you’re pregnant, do you want to know or not?”
Turns out there had been a bit of an awkward situation once where the keepers had casually mentioned a woman’s pregnancy in a group, and she herself didn’t even know yet. Turns out the wolves are excellent at telling if you’re pregnant and the keepers can tell based on their body language. They get all odd and careful around pregnancy. (Even wolves knows that you have to take care of pregnant people.)
So they definitely knew she was pregnant.
And if I remember my BBC documentaries right, a wolf will leave the pack to give birth and introduce the cubs to the pack once she feels ready for it. And maternity leave is flexible but often around 6 months so they’re going “YOU WERE GONE FOREVER! WE WERE SO WORRIED! WHERE ARE THE CUBS?? WE HAVE TO GREET THE CUBS!!“
Also the two on her back are fighting over who gets to greet her first. Giving and receiving attention is a commodity that goes by hierarchy and if you don’t accept that there will be scuffles.. The wolf lying down next to her isn’t chill about her coming back, it’s just submissive to the other wolves and waiting for it’s turn to show excitement.
Now I can see why we domesticated these adorable jerks.
Wolf packs have maternity leave?
Wolves: better than American companies.
I’m not a very good gate keeper. But I think I can live with that Happy Trans day of visibility! <3 <3 <3

Hermione’s last minute study crunch before exams!
okay I’m gonna reblog this again because last time I didn’t say what I thought about this picture
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. This makes the universe of Harry Potter so much more magical than I ever dreamed it to be. In the movies and books it’s like an average library with magic books, but this picture shows a Hogwarts alive and brimming with magic. The shelves are impossibly tall because you can enchant stuff to help you reach, so why SHOULDN’T the shelves be huge? I love the girls walking on books like stairs, the cat who got caught on a flying book, Hermione sitting on a book like a chair, everyone’s casual confidence in their unbelievable magic because it’s natural to them. It’s part of their everyday lives. I love the Harry Potter world so much that it hurts, and this picture is gorgeous and makes me relive the magic I have loved since I was little.
OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED THEYRE ALL HERMIONE. THE ONE SLEEPING ON THE sHELF OMG
This part, where Harry asks Luna to Prof. Slughorns party is one of my favourite. Because being invited somewhere as a friend is great and important - not a disappointment, as it is often made out to be.
I just realized that on the night Voldemort failed to kill Harry as a baby, there would have been three dead bodies in the Potters’s house in Godric’s Hollow. James’s, Lily’s and Voldemort’s. It never occurred to me before that Voldemort’s body would have had to be there too. But remember, he was ’ripped from his body’. The Voldemort who fled from Godric’s Hollow didn’t have a body, so the only logical conclusion is that it was left behind where he was defeated. Plus, his body being there would have been the only way other wizards could have understood that Voldemort had been defeated - proof to them that he was really gone (turns out he wasn’t really gone but they didn’t know that at the time). It is rather scary to think of Sirius finding Lily’s dead body with Voldemort’s next to it and Harry still alive in the crib.
Not to break the depressing mood or anything but I do hope Sirius had the clarity of mind to give Voldy’s body a good kick in the face
Maybe Sirius kicked his nose off
my singing voice is good for showers and mornings in the kitchen and drunken nights and lullabies for babies who need sleep and im okay with this
i think it’s silly to be ashamed of your art because it’s not in a museum and of your voice because it’s not selling out stadiums. there will always be people who enjoy and appreciate what you can do.
Idk why but this hit me really hard and I’ve been staring at it for a couple minutes.
Hi! Feel free to ignore this if you don't have the spoons, it's a question about ADHD. I'm tempted to get tested for both ADHD and austism bc I feel like I have a lot of those symptoms. But how do I tell the difference? There seems to be a lot of overlap and I have no idea if I have one or the other or both? Every time I see those "this is an ADHD experience" or "this is a ASD experience" I seem to relate. Some friends think I have both, others say because I can drive I can't have ADHD? thanks
Apologies if this is a messy ramble, I’m a bit out of it right now, but let me just start with this:
“others say because I can drive I can’t have ADHD”.
That is just an inherently untrue statement. There are plenty of people with ADHD who drive, my husband is one of them, as is my best friend, and several other people I can think of right now. Some folks with ADHD might not feel able to drive, but that is not the blanket “norm”, because no one person with ADHD has the exact same life experience and capabilities. Statements like that come from a place of ignorance, and lets be honest here, a little bit of ableism.
I also get people telling me all the time that I can’t actually have ADHD cause I’m an editor, and editing requires detail orientated work and “hyper just means you’re a scatter brain right? it’s not like you have the attention span for that”, to which I reply: have you ever met anyone with a hyper fixation? Some of us can channel that shit.
Of course that’s not true for everyone with ADHD, cause ADHD as we are coming to realize, is also a spectrum disorder.
Some people will swing clearly to one “side” of hyper, while some people will struggle with inattentiveness. Some others, like myself, have a combination of both, because although the sliding scale analogy can be helpful, it’s not entirely accurate. My exact diagnosis is combination ADHD with emphasis toward hyperactivity and rapid cycling thoughts combined with inattentiveness. Physically I’m not hyper, but mentally my brain is always “on”, which y’know, if you follow my blog it’s pretty evident I’m always going a mile a minute inside my own head, but outwardly? I’d pass for neurotypical because I’m not what ADHD “looks like”.
You are also right in that there is a lot of overlap between ADHD and ASD, and it is entirely possible to have either one or the other or both, and chances are if you are relating to those posts? There’s something there worth looking into.
I always used to find ADHD posts relatable, but just assumed everyone did on some level. Turns out not so much… turns out some people don’t have executive dysfunction problems… turns out some people can go to sleep at a regular hour and fall asleep within minutes, or finish a thought through without jumping onto a next one, or don’t find boredom so excruciatingly painful it can hurt like a physical ache or make you want to scream… seems fake I know, but apparently it’s a thing.
For the longest time I beat myself up for not being smart enough, for being lazy, for not being able to do such basic every day things. I hated myself for it. I despised what I perceived as personal and moral failings on my part, because I could not do supposedly easy things in the way people said I ought. Turns out there was a reason for that. And I am smart, I’m not lazy, and I can do things. I just needed a better level of support than I was getting.
If you want to get tested for both, get tested for both. I did on the advice of my therapist. It was enlightening and really helped me realize how much my ADHD actually affects my every day life, which in turn has helped me start to make it a lot, lot better.
I hope some of that was helpful to you, and I hope you find the help you need
Feel this so hard.
A lot of people, I find, don’t consider ADHD until it’s really slapped into their face that what they are experience isn’t the norm.
“Oh, it’s totally normal that I can make the decision to clean the dishes and four hours later they’re still not done... every time”
One thing that always astounds me is that some people can immediately snap their attention to people when they’re being talked to. I usually tune into my husband halfway through his statement/question. 🤦🏼♀️
That gap I-
and to add on, since I can’t find the twitter screenshots and I haven’t seen this addition on my dash yet, Chiarelli offered half of his salary to give to Lim so that she could come back and ensure the authenticity of the next movie.
However, Lim declined and rightfully so. Equal pay should not happen on the action of another coworker offering their salary. Equal pay should be the default.
Come on WB, step up your FUCKING GAME.
any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.
there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.
Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.
@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?
Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits: 1. They’re one of the department-issue models. 2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue. 3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash. 4. Usually rocking restricted plates. 5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.
In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.
Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.
You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.
Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.
Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.
Reblogging this for two reasons: 1. So people who have reason to be afraid of the police (which is pretty much anyone with significant melanin) see it. 2. Uh, good writer reference for describing undercover cop cars…
k but harry being like “omg you gon’ kiss her? right now? is it happening? no?… oh. ok not now, then.”
Harry Potter and his OTP lol
Harry is the biggest romoine shipper. Probably has tshirt for it
I can totally see it. He made it back in third year when he was hoping and praying that Ron and Hermione would speak to each other again lol
I have this headcannon that whenever ron & hermione would start fighting, harry & Ginny (my otp, sorry @weasleyismyking540) would re-enact the whole fight in a overly exaggerated romantic way, always ending with you’re falling in love, falling in love, falling in love with hermione granger…..
“Hermione, I love you.
Hermione, I do!!
When we’re apart, my heart beats
Only for you!!”
😂😂
Her acting is so bad here. Like, really? Can’t look vulnerable or anything other than angry? haugh.
Yeah that always bothered me. Ron is trying to be subtle and sweet and see about the small cut and she looking like she was gonna kill him lol
Wait- so I’m not the only one who thinks Emma Watson’s acting in Romione scenes was always a little off, like she didn’t ever get Hermione’s mood just right?
I always thought that in most Romione scenes (like the accidental hand-holding scene in POA) she looked irritated rather than flustered. Why did none of the directors ever say anything about it, since it would probably affect how the audience saw the scene?
Yeah she doesn’t do little lovey moments like talking bout right. And Rupert was the one that look surprised and flustered in that scene like he was supposed to. Emma just looked cringy.
They got the piano scene nice….well Rupert did lol.
And the directors may have been on the Harmione train too and didnt care .
I always wondered why I couldn’t enjoy the film series’ attempts at Romione moments. I never had any problems with what Rupert was doing, but Emma always seemed a little off. Almost like she was annoyed that she had to act them out compared to embarrassed. Which kind-of pulled me out of the cinematic experience a little.
She did look cringy. I wonder whether that was the best take they could get, or whether they put it in for Rupert’s acting being perfect in that scene rather than Emma’s.
Oh yeah- Rupert makes that piano scene. All those little glimpses-out-of-the-corner-of-his-eye are just brilliant. Excellent actors on his part.
That doesn’t surprise me. Seriously, did anyone on the upper end of the production team actually ship Romione? Because it seems like most of the actors shipped it, but the film-makers didn’t.
That’s because Rupert was actually putting his all into his acting. Emma was just chillin. Like seriously I think after Chamber of Secrets she started slacking and after GOF she just gave up.
Agree with you on that. Rupert was always putting 100% effort into it, but Emma seemed to lose interest after GOF. Maybe it’s because she was hoping to leave, but stayed on after they allowed her more privileges compared to the other cast members (getting to pretty up her character, and writing some of her own lines, for example).
It’s a shame that they allowed that. It really is. But they had such a hard on for both her and her character that they just let her take over. Which is ridiculous. Again, Rowling should have put her foot down.
I can see this in many scenes, but with this one... I’d be pissed in the moment too. 😂 If my husband, who I absolutely adore, did this while telling me I need to wipe these guys’ memories? I’d be pissed, even more pissed than I already am. Lol
You can be angry about things but still make the conscious decision not to be cruel. When we remind each other to be kind, we’re not saying don’t be mad. There’s a lot of stuff to be mad about right now. But you can still be a kind and patient person. You don’t have to be mean to other people. You can choose.
Me, plunking Stinky Bastard Man’s carrier on the counter: hi he’s here for shots and a nail trim and he’ll need to be sedated
Nurse: Are you sure? We can try-
Me: he needs to be sedated
Nurse: Well, it’ll take longer-
Me: he needs to be sedated, he will try to rip your face off
Nurse: Well we’ll try without first and we’ll let you know if we need to sedate
Me, watching her carry him away: you will need to sedate him
Nurse, coming back 10 minutes later clutching her hand: so, we will need to sedate him
Me:

Since this post blew up and people have asked for this villain’s record, here are some of Stinky Bastard Man’s more heinous crimes:
When I’m married someday I want to be so in love that our kids are disgusted
If your “loving” relationship disgusts your kids then you’ve probably caused them trama from exposing them to your toxic relationship with your SO that you’re now rekindling in front of their faces and they hate you for it
max they mean in the lighthearted “eeeeeew moom” way not like fucking in front of them
I genuinely cannot comprehend how they came up with that paragraph
How is this website free
It isn’t free. I pay dearly for every post
I pay dearly for every post.
