Today round ass puppy revealed to me, exhausted, at the end of my rope, that her training wasn't working not because she didn't understand, she did, she did, but instead because treats, chicken, turkey and pork apparently weren't enough motivation. She began obeying every word with startling accuracy as soon as she was offered something else. Doing backflips and stunts with pyrotechnics as prompted for the promise of a pea. A pea. She's a dog. A pea. A pea. A pea. I have to carry peas around now. On my person. Personal peas. 🫛 peas

You're obsessed with the rotting bloated corpse. It's like your Jungkook. Embarassing!

can I be so real with you. can I be honest. totally aside from the moral panic about women on booktok being """porn addicts""" because they're reading erotica, I think it's so fucking goofy when people act as if there needs to be some kind of societal reckoning with how tiktok books "aren't very good." like, okay? they're commercial products mass produced for entertainment. tiktok didn't invent that; you're going to have to take it up with pulp magazines and dime novels and comic books. you guys would throw up if you found out about Fanny Hill.
#the 'all reading is good reading' bit is fascinating#because i bet people are just repeating what they've heard teachers and childrens' librarians say#if you are a child it is your job to learn how to read to the best of yr ability otherwise you're gonna have a really hard time in the worl#as a teacher it is my job to do everything i can to get you there#(insert youth liberation & critical deconstruction of all of the above but in general that's where we're at)#so if reading is the act of translating the little markings on a page into sound and information#that minecraft movie tie in novelization is gonna have just as much of that as the newbery medal winner#would i rather you read as wide a variety of genres as possible in accordance with your personal challenge point yes!#will i hoot and holler with joy if the minecraft book gets you reading independently with intrinsic motivation also yes!!!!#anyway THAT is what 'all reading is good reading' means. if you're an adult who knows how to read this does not apply to you#read or don't read whatever you want i do not care#edu

looking for opinions both from americans and non-americans: what would you consider to be the big 4 american cities in terms of like, vibes-based cultural impact?
#nyc la atlanta & salt lake city. this is the only right answer#source: nothing in particular but people wildly underestimate the influence of mormonism#(white american from nyc. resisted the urge to say portland & boston bc my experiences are not universal)#sf dallas detroit also valid answers. who the fuck is saying SEATTLE#sorry i keep scrolling through the notes and getting mad#the trouble with the prompt is so much cultural impact comes from places that are very much not big cities

He left bloody fingerprints on the rock, but there was something satisfying about that.
I was here. I exist. I’m alive, because I bleed.
He hadn’t stopped being thankful for his body. Hello, Adam Parrish’s formerly chapped hands, I’m happy to have you.

well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better
