PSA for New Users/Blank Blogs/Ageless Blogs

If you keep getting blocked from content creator blogs there are three major reasons and ways to fix them.

🚩🚩🚩This is a Huge RED flag!🚩🚩🚩

1. Update your avatar. Anything besides the default picture.

2. Update your blog title and description. Add your age range, Minor, or 18+ to the blog title/description. "Untitled" is a red flag that you are a bot. Something as simple as "Here for the fanfic! 18+" will do it.

3. Reblog or post something to let us know you aren't just a bot. You can reblog some of your favorite content or make a post that just says "Human. Please don't block me!"

Please respect others' boundaries. If a blog says they are 18+, don't follow them if you are a minor. If a blog posts things you aren't interested in, unfollow or block them.

Most of all, be kind. Kindness costs nothing and means everything.

What could have been 😔

Too tired to draw but I still need everyone to be aware of this bizarre interaction I had at work this morning

Worth mentioning is that I'm in Iceland and the store I work at only accepts icelandic króna so like even euros wouldn't have worked in this case

On the one hand I refuse to defend Americans and this behavior is kind of embarrassing but on the other hand dumbasses enraging Europeans by not caring even a little bit about their funny little currencies is absolutely hilarious so I’m conflicted here

I think I've decided it's time to topple the dollar as a world standard

I propose we switch to Chilean Peso

I think we should go back to harvesting seashells

I can't do this anymore I am seriously at my limit here

Idk I'm in full support of forcing the English to accept my green construction paper

Could you do me a quick favour and point out where England is on this map?

Just in case it hasn’t been mentioned yet: the ethical thing to do if someone tries to use USD instead of KR is to simply ask for 300 usd in place of 300 kroner, this shows cultural sensitivity and respect :)

every time someone on here uses the footage of cas watching dean rake from “the man who would be king” I unfortunately flash back to this tweet from earlier this month where someone deep in the replies to the official supernatural account was trying to argue that cas coming out retroactively made all his behavior predatory and cited “unconsensually watching dean rake” as an example

This...was just one of the hundreds of rare cards I had as a kid, just from buying regular packs, that all went missing something like 17 years ago and I live in perpetual fear of finding out the value of any more of them.

"the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully form until yr 25!!" y do u wish to take more agency away from teens and young adults. y do u refer to phrenology to inform yr worldview. I'm about to undevelop yr prefrontal cortex with a baseball bat if u don't shut the fuck up

for the ppl who keep saying this is an objective fact, from the Wikipedia list of common misconceptions:

it's pop science. it's pseudoscience. it's phrenology. it's not real. it's being used as an excuse to call older people pedophiles and take away the rights of younger people. shut the fuck up.

Also, the "development" people refer to is actually specialization of the brain. It removes little-used synaptic connections and reenforces the regularly used ones. This means if you don't train it, nothing will develop other than an increasing difficulty to grow. If you don't let kids and teenagers learn how to make decisions, you end up with adults who never learned how to make decisions and who will struggle more with it than they would have as kids.

The brain is fully formed by the time you're 3. Any further than that, we only get through practice and experience. The way we prohibit kids from gathering much of that experience on their own terms, in their own time, is abuse on a social scale.

I'm convinced that every cat has a Weird Game that it likes; your duty as the cat's owner is to discover what its favourite Weird Game is.

One of the most common question types this blog gets is some flavor of asking if Weird Games are okay. The people writing in are always very concerned for their pet’s safety and welfare (which I applaud) and often looking for an explanation of the behavior (which I have zero ability to give). This speaks to how common it is for cats - and other pets - to enjoy Weird Games.

This video is a great example of the best way to tell if a Weird Game is a thing your animal actually likes: let them initiate! The cat is being carried in a weird way when the video starts, but then immediately runs back to the designated “game spot” and asks for it to happen again. If you’re not sure if an animal likes an interaction - be it petting or a Weird Game - just stop, and see if they actively re-engage. If yes, you’re good to go!

Obviously, physical safety is an aspect of Weird Games too. The cat in this video apparently likes being carried upside down, which could injure it if it happened too much. But what we see is that their person supports the cat very securely, moves slowly, doesn’t go very far, puts the cat down on a soft and easy to reach surface, and doesn’t let the Game go on for too long. The cat also isn’t being held tightly and could clearly get free / ask to be put down if it became uncomfortable or wanted to be done. That seems like a good way to make that Weird Game safe to me (vets, please feel free to correct me here). If you’re worried about if a Weird Game is safe, ask your vet! You’ll make their day and get some useful information.

my cat likes to be put in a big IKEA bag and swung around in it. I know it's his choice of weird behaviour because he climbs in the bag if he sees it. and every few swings I stop swinging to check on him ad then he yells at me until I keep swinging. except for when he's bored where he jumps out.

But the biggest clue that he likes it and it's not just my idea is that I would have picked less of a fucking arm workout.

My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around

She cheers when the monster is winning.

Being hyper-secretive online is probably the only good kneejerk reaction boomers have put into our heads twenty years ago and now both them and the next generation look at you like you're a freak if you don't list your social security number in your carrd.
