Ignore the rawhide* gunk. Look at this indulgent old lady. She's got grey whiskers! 🥹

*dont worry, this is 99% no rawhide house, but my mom got her a big bag of rawhides and I give her about an hour or so with one piece--she's been working on it a few weeks now--once a week.

I agree, my lady, the suitors get less and less suitable each year.

No, my lady. No one will follow us out here. I’ve made certain that the chamberlain understands your need for fresh air.

Yes, my lady. The stars are radiant tonight.

Yes, my lady. Your hands are quite cold.

No, my lady. I don’t mind.

im not gonna lie i kinda feel like a standard work week should be less than 40 hours even if it doesnt improve worker wellbeing in a way that makes companies more money

This is not passive aggressive racism. This is not a micro aggression. These are real words that are going to cause real harm to us.

After all we’ve been through, we are still here. We are still here and one day the veil is going to fall and she’s going to see what happens to Nazis like herself.

be intensely selfish, yet pass with most of your acquaintances for a jovial good-hearted fellow: be thoroughly, though goodhumoredly, unprincipled

I do think a lot of (mostly White) progressives still conceive of "race" as something innate and biological but don't consider this worldview racist because they don't do, like, any "hierarchy of the races" shit. You see this a lot with how people talk about the historical racialized oppression of Irish, Italian, Ashkenazi Jewish, etc people (who today are generally racialized as White, especially in the United States) but where I REALLY notice it is in how (again mostly White) people talk about things like racialized fatphobia (+ racialized misogyny). Like yes, it is categorically true that the Body Mass Index is racially biased, and it is also obviously true that different populations of human (which are not the same thing as "races") will have different "average" body sizes. But a lot of (mostly White!) progressives will just say things like "BMI is racist because Black women are bigger than White women" and not see anything wrong with that. Many many many times I've watched White progressives assume that the beauty standard common in Black/Latino communities in the 20th and 21st centuries (i.e., "curvy" women rather than very thin "heroin chic" women considered most beautiful in White America around the same times) as Just Being What Black And Latina Women's Bodies Look Like. Whiiiiiich is racist! Like you fundamentally do not see racialized people as equal if you assume that the women promoted as most beautiful in popular media are "representative" of what a certain group "naturally looks like" - you would never assume that the ultrathin American supermodels of the 90s were representative of all White American women, so why assume that the "curvy" Black and Latina "video vixens" of the 90s were representative of all Black and Latina women? "Black and Latina women are just naturally 'thicker' than White women" is still racist and is still projecting sexuality onto racialized women, and it's not made less race science-y when you staple "and that's why BMI is bad" onto it

Medical bills for this dog's operations are emptying my bank account once again... at least she looks good in that cone (and don't mind wearing it!) x_x

I know games have gotten worse and all, but can we all be normal and just point out how much of this conversation is steeped in RETVRN type rhetoric?

Fanart usually depicts Samus Aran's morph ball form as being about the size of a throw pillow, but canonically it's like three feet in diameter, and honestly I'd like to see that acknowledged more. Walk into the room and there's just this fucking Orb.
