on the drive home from work today

alone in the car

writing messages in my head I will never send

I thought to myself

(and to him)

you know you can always tell me no

you don't have to spend time with me if you're busy

you don't have to let me call you pet names

you don't have to say you love me too

and then I thought

yes I know I'm the one who asks to call

but he chooses to stay with me

and he chooses to give me things

when I don't ask for them

and he never had to agree to anything

and he never had to say I love you

but he did

he did

and I am believing the worst in him

when I think that he wouldn't really love me

and that he doesn't want to spend time with me

and that he says I love you because I want it

not because he means it

and I know he never had to do any of that

and god I love him

and this is a message I will never ever send him

because to believe this

would be to deny that he cares for me

and that can only ever hurt

"We caught a transmission," the message from the stars began, "that simply said 'we exist and we are glad you also exist'. We do not know who sent it, but if you catch this, know that we exist and we are glad you exist."

"Shall we pass it on?"

"Like a chain letter?"

"Yes?"

"Yes."

by far the harshest truth ive ever had to come to terms with is that many people genuinely have absolute dogshit taste and that is, technically, not a crime

[bellablue42]

So we got the doggo mount rn that we can pet right

dropped the walrus vs fairy question on a group of psychologists today and not only did the majority agree the walrus would be more surprising, the one with the strongest background in research responded to the ‘but fairies aren’t real’ argument with “are your beliefs so inflexible that you’ve never considered you might be wrong about what’s real and what’s not?” and honestly i haven’t recovered

actually bizarre how many people on here struggle to understand the basic concept of "if you take it upon yourself to dig through somebody's private activity/likes to build a profile of their sexual desires which you then publicize to others and use to encourage harassment & social exclusion of that person, you are the sexual aggressor in this scenario"

This set of paintings at this antique store are so mysterious and cool as hell?! The tag just says "unsigned" and they're $450. Theyre on two huge canvasas like 5 feet tall. Has anyone seen anything like them?!

Does it seem weird that people treat cats like they’re wild animals to anyone else? And by that I don’t mean people expect cats to survive on their own in the wild. I mean people act like pet cats who have owners are wild animals that the owners aren’t responsible for. And I’m not talking about cat owners specifically. A lot of people who doesn’t have any pets at all act like cats are wild animals (which might be why so many people treat them like wild animals that can be hurt with no consequences)

I never thought about that until a few years ago when someone in the town Facebook group asked who owned a cat that kept jumping in through his windows. It was summer so he couldn’t keep his windows closed (we don’t use air conditioning in this country) and he had a terrible allergy to cats so it was legit dangerous for him to have a cat running around his house.

People started offering solutions like “buy this spray that deters cats” and “you can buy this rolling thing for the top of your fence” but his response was “Okay but why am I expected to spend all this money to keep someone’s pet out? Who owns this cat!?” When he didn’t get an answer he eventually got a friend to pick the cat up when it was in his house and he drove it to a shelter, and informed the Facebook group which shelter. Suddenly the owner responded, angry that he’d do such a thing! Getting the cat back would cost money! But the guy was like where the fuck were you when I asked who the cat belonged to!? I was trying to avoid this!

I was honestly surprised by how many people were on the side of the cat’s owner. Another cat owner on our street isn’t responsible enough to keep her cat indoors but responsible enough to at least buy stuff for other people if her cats bother them. She practically have a small stach of cat deterrent spray she hands out to the neighbors who doesn’t want cats in their garden.

The whole thing really made me realize how strange it is that cats are the only pets where we expect other people to spend their money on building fences to keep them out instead of the owners trying to keep them in, as if they were wild animals with no owner to look after them.

Just remembering Ultima Thule, as one does.
