reminders i need to like, tattoo on my brain:

1. if you feel judged and hurt by others, try sleeping

2. if you feel judgmental and resentful of others, try eating (the classics)

3. if you feel uncomfortable, try showering

4. if you feel directionless and afraid, go sit outside for a bit and maybe then you'll calm down. maybe even a walk if youre feelin crazy

5. take it easy, but by god, take it

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

possession horror where the thing possessing the autistic character causes them to behave in a more neurotypical way. autistic possession horror where the thing inside you is easier to communicate with than you are, the thing inside you doesn’t have a flat affect, the thing inside you doesn’t let your body stim, the thing inside you is how you were told to behave and you can only do it when you are no longer you. autistic possession horror where you will never forget that everyone liked it better than you before they found out something was controlling you. autistic possession horror where they know what’s inside you isn’t you and debate whether it would be easier for everyone to leave you like this anyway. you agree. reblog.

For my corgi, it's bully sticks. He will do just about anything for one. But then he doesn't chew it, he hides it. Badly. Like he will push a blanket over most of it, or shove it into the couch, or try to shove it under the door mat...

He will also attempt to kill any toy for the peanut butter inside.

The cats, one would push plates of wet catfood around. Another would roll in catnip until she could see new dimensions then spin inside the top of the cat post and roll around there until she fell.

The boy, he would scream if you opened a can of tuna near him. He would make a mess drinking the water out ot the can.

Hey petblr- I'm curious and could use a laugh. What weird things do your pets go nuts for?

I'll start. My chihuahua's absolute most high value treat that I could possibly offer her? Not chicken jerky. Not sausage bits. Not even cheese, which is definitely her second favorite. It is virbac's chicken flavored toothpaste. She'll take it even when she's too nervous to take anything else, and will do pretty much anything for some. Quite frankly baffling.

I also have a horse that likes both ham and turkey sandwiches and will steal yours if you turn your back. Tbf he'll eat pretty much anything though. And another horse who's a texture freak. His favorite thing is the ribbed cuffs on sweatshirts, he'll stand there and wiggle his muzzle on them for as long as I'll let him. He also seems to like Crocs and has tried to steal mine off my feet before.

Yeah, so long as we aren't terrible corporate cockroaches we should be just fine. Or doing horrible things to other. He will uphold justice and kill anyone who stands against it.
