These dogs fascinate me. If you go and look at the kinds of people who attend the shows specific to these breeds, there is definitely a TYPE who owns these kinds of dogs. Historically, we either have companion dogs, or working dogs. But now, there's a third group "Identity dogs".

It's not necessarily about having a companion animal that lasts a long time, rather it's an animal that creates a certain kind of image and solidifies a certain kind of identity for the owner. Generation by generation, animal's body is molded to fit the idea of how the owner wants to be seen by others, and how the owner views themselves.

i think a really funny project that a statistics professor could have their class do is like. put a bunch of random, patently untrue demographic statements into a hat. "the most popular tv show among white men ages 24-27 is Bluey." "the majority of business majors are middle children." "bisexual women love hot chips." and each student picks one out of the hat and you gotta like. design a whole study and survey a group of people to specifically achieve that result. you have to prove it true. by whatever means necessary. you have to construct the most biased study possible and wrangle in your exact demographic to make that statement a statistical reality. i think people would learn a lot.

its crazy that a lot of what we call 'video essays' these days are basically low budget documentaries on increasingly weird and niche topics. no network approval no tv budget just one guy with maybe a hired editor/writer and a couple of friends willing to read voice lines. and then they put it on youtube like its no big deal. insane.

My roommates got married last week and said today that they’re planning on moving to somewhere else in the city, and asked me to move with them when they do.

Which I appreciate so much, they’re both fantastic roommates and I really don’t want to try and find another place on my own, but also. Jesus Christ what a look. “Hiii we’re the Thompsons, we just moved in down the street, that’s my husband and that’s the ghoul who used to live in our basement”

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

anyone else wish they would get roped into a freaky friday body swap situation just for the hope that the other person will go "oh jesus fuck how do you live like this" and instantly validate your feelings of being Strange and Built Wrong.
