I don’t normally make posts like this but I wanna spread awareness to this topic

Cats in China are being brutally tortured and killed maliciously by various groups of people around - young people, ones who should know better.

They adopt cats and then murder them, often putting them through hell beforehand. Doing things such as chopping off all their limbs and hanging them up as “cat bugs”, skinning them alive, putting them in blenders, and many, many other cruel things.

It’s due to the lack of animal protection rights in China is why these people can get away with these things so easily.

They use live footage of cats eating from local feeders in order to capture them, and they’ve already gotten over millions of innocent felines - one of which was a kitten known as Mr. Wink, who was found frozen solid after one of them had drowned him.

These people also go about live streaming footage of themselves torturing and killing kitties that’ve done NOTHING WRONG for views, money and fun. And they gain more and more followers and views everyday.

This shit is not okay at all. They are still out there targeting these creatures, and even had set up a bounty to both find and kill Mr. Fresh (orange cat shown from a live feeder famous for his “side eye”), the money ranging from about $500-600.

Although Mr. Fresh is thankfully safe and in the care of a vet/new guardian. However, there are still many other animals, not just cats themselves, being tortured in China.

I highly recommend visiting and following @feline_guardians on Instagram and to sign their petition for animals to gain more rights in China.

Thank you for listening.

Plus I’m adding a picture of my cat that I redrew cuz he’s silly (and all kitties deserve both love and respect)

Save cats yall!! Every sign counts.

Can you guys PLEASE sign this petition against this person who has been torturing and killing animals in the most brutal ways possible. He - as many others - do these things in broad daylight because there are no animal protection laws in China, so the least we can do is try to ruin their lives. Entering in a good university is extremely important to Chinese people, so hopefully we can try and prevent these people from having a good life, as they don't deserve it at all. He is also one step away from killing people.

UPDATE: this piece of trash was rejected from the university! Thanks to everyone who signed, keep making noise!

This 17th century artwork shows a flying fish near a ship in stormy waters. This engraving is from 'An embassy from the East-India Company of the United Provinces to the Grand Tartar Cham, Emperor of China', by the Dutch writer and explorer Johan Nieuhof (1618-1672). The book describes Nieuhof's travels to India and China. This artwork is from an English translation, published in 1669.

@roszabell asked me to post this and I delivered

Hetalia Characters as things said by my college friend group:

America: “Just because I haven’t had sex doesn’t mean I don’t know the basic components of it! I wasn’t in the Revolutionary War but I still know what happened. I know how it started- I know the foreplay, and the aftercare is just the Constitution. It’s not that complicated of an issue.

Canada: “Yeah I could take down a moose. If I can dive quick and tap it in the nuts it’ll go down guys, trust me. I’m a moose expert.”

England: “You look like a guy in the 1940s being drafted for war. Why are you mad, at least I didn’t call you British. I held back just for you.”

France: “What if I want to be a rich bitch? Is that respectable?”

Spain: “If my parents had told me they were having another kid, I would just say no. I’m the princess here bitch.”

Romano: “vapes are so gross. If you’re going to be addicted to nicotine, at least smoke a cigarette like a real man.”

Germany: “How did I, as a twenty year old man become the mother figure. And why am I doing it so well?”

Prussia: “Just Dance? Bet. If I’m making money, I’ll twerk like there’s no tomorrow.”

Italy: *very confidently* “Some people like hard liquor and I like fruits in my yogurt! I see no difference.”

China: “I know how to tell if there is inflation. It’s determined by dip in dots prices”

Japan: “I’m just staring at the goldfish crackers… and they’re staring… back at me.”

Russia: “anything is possible if you believe in yourself and that if that includes you deepthroating your ice cream… then who am I to judge I guess.”

Austria: “I can assure you that people twerked and got down hard to Ode to Joy and absolutely should continue to do so. Shit slaps.”

Hungary: “I’m gonna beat you with my shoe out of love.”

Denmark: “Well you know what else bitch??? You’re mom- I mean my mom- your mom- my-your- fuck I-”

Lithuania: “I drink black coffee cause I need ✨validation✨.”

Chinese legal adviser of foreign affairs at the International Court of Justice: " The UNGA resolution 3070 of 1973, I quote " reaffirms the legitimacy of the people's struggle for liberation from colonial and foreign domination and the alien subjugation by all available means, including armed struggle" - end of quote.

This recognition is also reflected in international convention: 'Armed struggle', in this context, is distinguished from 'acts of terrorism'. It is granted in international law. "

Palestine has the right to resist occupation. 🍉🫒🍉🫒🍉🫒🍉

I need the live action version of tgcf so bad. It drives me mad that there's a literally a wholeass tv show already filmed and presumably ready to air by now but damn new censorship laws prevent it from being released

[brother-emperors]

what are your opinions on tiberius and sejanus?

honestly, the allegations with Sejanus, Livilla, and Drusus is more my thing, but absolutely wild shit went down there. real Power Corrupts Everything It Touches type of event. the debasement of the Imperial Family, and by extension The State, (and the rise of the Praetorian Guard stepping outside of it's intended role and turning into an Institution That Is Also A Threat) forcing it into an insular paranoia that it'll never recover from is great.

i do think the occasional communist you get who are really vehemently anti-drugs are strange.

[l-wandering-etranger]

why is it always the countries with the gayest histories that have the most anti LGBTQ+??? rights like bruh your ancestors would be so dissapointed in you not having kids. smh.

im the first person to criticize the way mhy deals w queerness (ive made multiple posts on how i find the sexualizaton of the minors and the sexualization of lesbianism gross) but i neeeeeed white queers to understand that at the end of the day mhy is not homophobic like yeah no shit theyve done fucked up shit but acting like all of their wlw things have been queerbait is inaccurate. people who say this dont know shit abt hi3. you havent even played the fucking game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bc if you did you would understand that the queer relationships in hi3's main game are written w so much respect and clearly valued by the writers. they're serious about it! like. parts from the game i dont see mentioned a lot:

they have an ongoing leitmotif related to happy moments and reunions and in kiana and mei's reunion in chapter 32, they composed a backtrack specifically for it w that leitmotif! its also the only official ost w that leitmotif that they released! and they titled it "i'm back, kiana"

kiana and mei have a moment in ch 32 where they both confess and reinforce that they are the most important and beautiful parts of the world to the other.

i have my gripes w azure waters and the way it portrays sex and sa but the bronseele kiss was always portrayed as something innocent and serious. its not treated as a joke nor is it fetishized and it means infinitely more to the characters than to straight audiences (it literally being a part of their promise which motivates bronya and seele to survive throughout the time theyre apart.)
