Me to me when I repeat past mistakes when I know better

friends, if I can give you one piece of advice for those of you who are new to work, or are about to enter the workforce, especially if you have any sort of office job:

Do not work on your days off.

"But--"

DO NOT WORK ON YOUR DAYS OFF.

"Because I said so" straight up isn't as good an answer as you think it is.

There’s something so bitterly poetic about Wolf’s Rain’s world building that is reflective of the late stage capitalist hellscape we live in today.

Of a desolate pre-apocalyptic world, where the last of humanity survive in domed cities ruled by nobles (billionaires) who have private militias and high tech weapons that cater to their every whim and protect their assets alone.

And how those same nobles are determined to “outwit” an apocalypse with technology and brute force, attempting to redirect and control the forces of nature to their desires and open Paradise for themselves.

Jagura and Darcia are two sides of the same coin. Two nobles meddling in the forces of nature that they have no right to try to control. And it ultimately destroys them both.

But it is this ego of the nobles (billionaires) that believe they are untouchable and that not even nature can stop them. In the same way that the billionaires of today are creating fascist rule to their benefit, believing that the only thing that holds them back is regulation - aka rules to stop them destroying the planet and our finite natural resources.

They think they’re all powerful because of their wealth. But they are still made of flesh and bone like the rest of us. They can’t cheat death or control nature the way they hope that they can. Eventually, they will die too.

Nature cannot be destroyed. The Earth has undergone mass extinction events before. Volcanoes, storms, earthquakes, climate changes, meteors… and every time it has regenerated into something new.

Even if billionaires drive us to the first ever mass extinction event that was caused specifically by a single species, the Earth will keep spinning, as it always has.

There’s something oddly soothing about knowing we could never truly kill the planet we live on. It may not be habitable for us anymore, but perhaps the little microbes thriving in the volcanic vents on the deep ocean floor will still be okay.

Btw this is not a “humans are the cancer” post either. I don’t subscribe to that sort of ecofascist bullshit. Humans are actually as a whole incredibly resourceful and can work with nature, not against it, quite well. It just doesn’t help that every attempt to do so is sabotaged or redirected with propaganda/lobbying by big corporations. Because heaven forbid their profits are compromised by more eco friendly alternatives to their products!!!!

to my favorite theme about "whoever kills a dragon becomes a dragon himself", a fly eating an elk and "the king is dead - long live the king"

AU, where Eowyn becomes the successor of the Witch-King after his murder.

why do bat eared foxes look like they're being bullied ,,,,

So, you know how certain Christian missionaries are trained to act in a very obnoxious way, so that most people they preach to will reject them outright, so they feel like the world hates them for being Christian and they can only be friends with fellow Christians? You know that thing?

I think as activists, we sometimes need to stop and ask ourselves whether we're acting like those missionaries. I think this type of behavior is a little more ingrained into our society than some of us realize, and some of us have internalized it without realizing what it's actually meant to do.

Hello! I've been following you for almost a year now, and honestly, you're one of my favorite blogs out here! Seeing your posts and reblogs and all the little bits about animal behavior really have ignited that long-dormant curiosity I had as an encyclopedia devouring know-it-all zoo kid. So I want to thank you for that! You're very cool!

And just so happens that I also really, really love dogs. So your whole blog is just pure gold for me all around. All that led me to actually getting in that mindset to try the books again. I just finished "Dog Is Love" by Clive D. L. Wynne, and I loved it so much! Though maybe I'm just biased because I hadn't touched a piece of educational non-fiction in a decade lol. But I really missed that!

I was wondering whether you have read it, and if so, what your thoughts on it are? And, well, since it's a weird ask already, I was curious if there are any books on animal behavior you would recommend! Or maybe books about dogs? Or maybe just generally some non-fiction reads you enjoyed lately (or not lately) and would like to share!

Things you talk about are interesting! So I'm interested in what you found interesting or at least insightful :)

Feel free to ignore! Once again, thank you, and I hope you're having a good day!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful message! I'm so glad all my posts are resonating with people out there! I haven't read that one but I do love getting some book recs!

My favourite dog books that I can think of off the top of my head are probably Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz and The Stress Factor in Dogs, Unlocking Resiliency and Enhancing Well-Being by Kristina Spaulding!
