the tumblrina is, by nature, unemployed in spirit — even when trapped in her place of employment, encumbered with obligations, she disregards them, firing off mediocre posts across all subject matters at great speed. thus posting is revealed not as a ritualistic-spiritual practice, as theorised by historians in previous eras, with less access to source material, but rather as the (strikingly contemporary!) 21st century laborer's attempt to break free of the shakles of alienation, even if only for a moment. even a zero note post is fifteen minutes not spent on admin, as some of the primary sources remark.
please appreciate that I tried to come up with a post about toxoplasmosagirls, and it would have been very sweet and heartwarming, but the words simply did not want to work. appreciate it.
I'm a big fan of unhinged worldbuilding in pornographic fiction, but I have to admit I get pretty annoyed when an author goes to all that trouble to explain something that falls completely within the normal range of plausible human behavioural and phenotypic variation. Like, if you're going to hit me with ten thousand words of elaborately justified speculative biology and the payoff in its entirety is "in this world, some women have penises", well, buddy, have I got news for you.
The point of taking your indoor cat on little excursions isn't for exercise or enrichment, though those are fun bonuses. The point is making sure your cat knows what "home" looks and smells like from the outside. A big reason a lot of indoor cats who sneak out promptly get lost is because they don't know what the outside of their home looks like and consequently can't find their way back; you can greatly reduce the odds of that if you give them an occasional tour.
