There’s this guy in town who owns this little house, and a while back he rescued a street dog that was going to get put down. Turned out she was pregnant.

Problem is, he has mental health & drug issues and couldn’t afford to get them all spayed & neutered, so now there are 6 grown bitches with 15 puppies total, and they’ve dug under his fence in multiple places but he can’t afford to fix it so they go roaming all around town. (When I say can’t afford it, I mean his house is currently running on a generator because he can’t afford his electric bill.) He’s also a day laborer so he cannot take multiple full days off work to take them to the vet an hour away. He’s in a really rough spot.

He’s not a bad person. He’s just overwhelmed.

And this little conservative town with 6 churches for 300 people, have they tried to help their neighbor? Have they adopted the puppies he’s been trying to give away? Have they offered resources?

NOPE! All they wanna do is talk shit about him and complain about the dogs but never lift a finger of their own. And they come to his house to yell at him and cuss him out about the dogs, which does not exactly engender in him a cooperative attitude, as you might imagine.

So after a while of this going on, my mom gets fed up with all the NIMBY bullshit and starts talking to the guy, because she’s done animal rescue for 20-odd years and has Connections. He’s resistant at first, but when he realizes she’s not being an asshole to him on account of his addiction or the dogs, he decides to let her help.

She gets to work organizing and networking. Finds a non-profit that will cover vaccinations, spay/neuter, and flea treatments for all the dogs. Talks the next-door neighbor into paying for materials to fix the fence, since this guy can do the work of it himself. Gets him in touch with another non-profit that will adopt out the adult dogs.

Less than 2 weeks after she decided to do something, all puppies have been to the vet, 10 puppies and 4 adult dogs have been adopted out, and the second non-profit is coming by next week to pick up the remaining 7 dogs to ship them out for adoption.

I’ve learned a lot of things from my mom—some good, some bad—but I think the most important positive message she lives as an example of is this: sometimes, when something needs done and no one else is willing, you gotta stand up and say “I’ll do it.”

the absolute lack of imagination women have about what queer men consider functional is honestly hilarious

give 👏 them 👏 both 👏 big 👏 dicks 👏 you 👏 cowards 👏👏

one time this japanese fujoshi i follow on twitter posted "the bottom should have a bigger dick so that you can watch it bounce while they get fucked and the top should have a smaller dick so that it can go in easier. uke dicks should be big and decorative and seme dicks should be average size and functional" and honestly her mind

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.

Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!

Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!

Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!

Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!

If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!

Absolute degenerate LUNACY

Part of growing up is learning some hard lessons like

Fiction isn't reality

Having a kink or fantasy isn't the same as wanting or doing the actual thing

Fantasies don't predict reality or we'd all be rich

Thought crimes aren't real

Some people have kinks and/or fantasies you personally find icky, but you don't have a right to tell them not to

Some people with trauma work their shit out in ways that you personally find icky, but you don't have a right to tell them not to

Conservatives will take advantage of your desire to be seen as a Good Person™️ to push you to the right

You are responsible for curating your online experience

Censorship is inevitably racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic

If you're a furry, no matter how many lines you draw in the sand, at the end of the day the rest of the world still sees you as some weirdo who cranks it to Donald Duck

Miss Watermelon has finally become comfortable enough living here that she's sleeping out where she's visible, instead of burrowing when the lights come on!

sometimes you see a headcanon that boils down to “what if he was a completely different person” and just have to shake your damn head

So in addition to the awe I feel at this gorgeous, gentle creature's natural ability to refract light like a hologram

there's a moment in here where her body looks like it's been selected in a video game HUD and that amuses me greatly

Stop a minute and look at these fat fucking tails

My li'l baby leos are not quite so baby anymore...

Okay as you were

In 3rd grade (1989 or so), my G&T class were given an assignment to each do a presentation on an animal whose name started with a letter assigned by the teacher. There were only like 9 of us but I ended up with X. (In retrospect I figure this was because our teacher knew I was an incorrigible animal nerd who loved a challenge.)

So I hit the books—yes, the actual physical books—and in the encyclopedia volume containing X I struck gold: I learned of the existence of Xenopeltis unicolor, the sunbeam snake, and it instantly became my favorite reptile.

It still is today.

And as of earlier this month, I have realized yet another childhood dream and obtained a sunbeam snake of my very own.

This is Aurora. She's very docile. Her scales feel kind of like pleather. And photos do not do justice to how intense and vibrant her iridescence is in person.

I am a happy Wyrm.

fandom is a wild place because sometimes you'll see lovingly-rendered art of some unfamiliar sultry man making bedroom eyes at the viewer which the artist clearly poured their heart, soul, and genitals into, and then you'll go look up the official art and the character literally looks like this
