You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit

If you use Tumblr but not AO3, congrats on the new step-parent site! AO3 would like to play catch with you in hopes of bonding, they keep talking about “found family tropes”

sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.

it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)

i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones

if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

"the middle class is dying" more specifically it's being hunted to extinction

tumblr is, if anything, the Appalachia of social media...easy to get lost, sparsely populated, out of the loop with fast-moving modern trends. Attached to tradition. Close-knit communities. Believe in "talk shit, get hit." Everyone is doing their own thing in their own obscure little holler. Prone to pulling the most inventive turns of phrase you've ever heard out of nowhere. Somebody's always starting a racket. We sometimes repel outsiders with much aggression. Lots of talk about hell and damnation to be found. Everybody tends to forget about us for some reason

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

So I recently found out about SaveAFox, and there seems to be a lot of discourse about them? The problems seems to be:

A) They are registered as a "fur farm" and regularly buy foxes from fur farms, they even have a fox fur.

B) They don't euthanize foxes with injuries that cause them pain.

C) They aren't doing enough, they only help a few individual foxes.

My personal opinion:

A) Seems like a very clever loophole to me. They don't have the ability to register as a sanctuary, so they register as a fur farm. Yes, they are buying foxes from fur farms, but would you rather they just leave the foxes to die??? It would be illegal and unhelpful in the long run to just break out these foxes and let them loose in the wild, especially when most are injured or too over-bred and domesticated to be let free. The fur mount is sad, but it may be what they are using to register as a fur farm. It is not like they killed a fox specifically to harvest the fur.

B) They try to make the foxes happy and comfortable. It is obvious from the video that these guys love the foxes and have devoted all of their time to them. The bake them special treats, build them houses and give them the best possible life they can, short of releasing them into the wild.

C) They aren't doing enough??? They rescue foxes slated for death, completely restructure their home for them, spend 24/7 caring for them. The videos they produce raise awareness and make people want to save foxes and go against fur farms. Maybe Mikayala isn't "doing more" but she is doing what she can to save the foxes in front of her. What are you doing to save foxes, other than sit on your phones and critize others for trying to help?

Seeing some people openly react to the passing of Mikayla Raines (saveafox) like “yeah that sucks… anyway here’s why I think she was terrible!!” Is boiling my blood.

She has lost her life. A woman has lost her life. A daughter has lost her mother. A husband has lost his wife.

And your main priority and concern is to ensure that you’re above all and self righteous?

Just disgusting. Utterly disgusting. Shame on all of you. Here and on that vile snark subreddit.

May she Rest In Peace.
