My cat brings me socks as offerings when he wants attention
For the record, these were all shot in one day. When we redid the carpets, we found 102 socks stashed in various places around the house. All that time I thought it had been the dryer eating them…
How much of your budget is dedicated to socks?
my bowie does this
Have you tried throwing the socks? A lot of cats actually like to fetch! And in these clips, your baby is carrying those socks in a “prey carry,” like he would carry a small animal. I have two cats who love playing fetch with anything small enough to throw!
That IS a prey-carry.
That cat LOVES YOU and wants you to NEVER BE HUNGRY AGAIN those little cries are “PAY ATTENTION I HAVE FOOD I BRING YOU FOOD PLEASE EAT I LOVE YOU!”
He is literally bringing you “prey” he hunted and killed.
I just looked this up and it turned out it was about a production of “cat on a hot tin roof”, a play which famously features a closeted gay lead character. a member of the audience was catcalling female actresses and shouting homophobic abuse when actor john lacy, who played the character big daddy, paused his performance and called him out. the heckler replied “what are you going to do about it?” to which lacy responded by leaping down into the audience and knocking him to the ground.
okay how have I not seen a Lower Decks fic for BtVS in the literally TWENTY YEARS i have been reading fic for it
#the thing is #right #that they may not KNOW #but their hindbrain tells them she is a predator #the b i g g e s t predator #one with claws and teeth and the burning desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves #basically i’m saying buffy is a dragon #and her hoard is humanity via @andfullofterrors (x)
A cat can jump up to five times its own height in a single bound.
The little tufts of hair in a cat’s ear that help keep out dirt direct sounds into the ear, and insulate the ears are called “ear furnishings.”
The ability of a cat to find its way home is called “psi-traveling.” Experts think cats either use the angle of the sunlight to find their way or that cats have magnetized cells in their brains that act as compasses.
One reason that kittens sleep so much is because a growth hormone is released only during sleep.
A cat has 230 bones in its body. A human has 206. A cat has no collarbone, so it can fit through any opening the size of its head.
A cat’s nose pad is ridged with a unique pattern, just like the fingerprint of a human.
If they have ample water, cats can tolerate temperatures up to 133 °F.
A cat’s heart beats nearly twice as fast as a human heart, at 110 to 140 beats a minute.
Cats don’t have sweat glands over their bodies like humans do. Instead, they sweat only through their paws.
The claws on the cat’s back paws aren’t as sharp as the claws on the front paws because the claws in the back don’t retract and, consequently, become worn.
Cats make about 100 different sounds. Dogs make only about 10.
Researchers are unsure exactly how a cat purrs. Most veterinarians believe that a cat purrs by vibrating vocal folds deep in the throat. To do this, a muscle in the larynx opens and closes the air passage about 25 times per second.
A cat almost never meows at another cat, mostly just humans. Cats typically will spit, purr, and hiss at other cats.
A cat’s back is extremely flexible because it has up to 53 loosely fitting vertebrae. Humans only have 34.
Some cats have survived falls of over 65 feet (20 meters), due largely to their “righting reflex.” The eyes and balance organs in the inner ear tell it where it is in space so the cat can land on its feet. Even cats without a tail have this ability.
A cat can travel at a top speed of approximately 31 mph (49 km) over a short distance.
A cat’s hearing is better than a dog’s. And a cat can hear high-frequency sounds up to two octaves higher than a human.
A cat’s brain is biologically more similar to a human brain than it is to a dog’s. Both humans and cats have identical regions in their brains that are responsible for emotions.
And that’s how cats work.
I learned more about cats in this post than I did in my freshamn biology class in college
Mad Max Fury Road is the best because it screams in your face “HEY LOOK HERE’S A V8 INTERCEPTOR AND A MASSIVE FUCKING TRUCK COVERED IN SKULLS AND A GUITAR FLAMETHROWER AND BIG ACTION SEQUENCES AND EXPLOSIONS, ISN’T THAT COOL??????” and then it gently takes your shoulder and whispers in your ear “but you know what’s cooler? respecting women & dismantling the patriarchy”
Whitewashing: An American tradition. Hollywood
shapes how we are seen and *not* seen. But we don’t have to give them our money
and views. Ghost in the Shell and Death Note are more missed opportunities to
showcase Asian-American talent. Let’s not watch them.
This is both hilarious and depressing
I like how Jesus is pouring water and then it turns into wine
“Out of the noise of an increasingly heated abortion debate in America, one thing can be heard loud and clear: There’s a new kind of feminist shouting through the megaphone.”
We’re featured in this great piece from Marie Claire about Pro-life Millennials, check it out!
“A new kind of feminist” that wants women dead?
I’m no expert but that doesn’t sound like feminism to me.
No matter what color of dye you dunk your head in, you’re still a bunch of misogynist boils on the ass of everything good in the world.
Get your fundamentalist hipster asses the fuck outta my vagina.
“Meet young misogynists” fixed it
“i and my dyed hair think that women shouldn’t have bodily autonomy”
ah yes, the ‘I don’t need or want an abortion and I’m so unempathic and self-centered I can’t imagine why anyone else would either’ crowd
there are actually people out here looking like the strawman in an anti-sjw comic who are pro-life. wild
Lol you know damn well these white women don’t give a fuck about anyone’s lives but they own. Work in the foster care system lately? Adopt anyone? Pay medical bills of a pregnant woman and take her to all her appointments and then take the baby so she wouldn’t abort? White millennial women being trash like they parents aren’t a news story. Just a continuation of the ignorance white Americans love to live in and perpetuate with the charade of moral concern as their banner. Plus, this is similar viewing to white supremacists who want white women to keep having babies to keep alive the master race. No abortion works great for them. Silly bitches.
On a political cartoon site, one otherwise liberal cartoonist made the mistake of expressing doubt about the Russian connection to Donald Trump, to which a poster (handle “Radish”) provided the following amazing response:
I don’t know – it’s hard for me to see any U.S. ties to Russia…except for the Flynn thing and the Manafort thing and the Tillerson thing and the Sessions thing and the Kushner thing and the Carter Page thing and the Roger Stone thing and the Felix Sater thing and the Boris Ephsteyn thing and the Rosneft thing and the Gazprom thing and the Sergey Gorkov banker thing and the Azerbajain thing and the “I love Putin” thing and the Donald Trump, Jr. thing and the Sergey Kislyak thing and the Russian Affiliated Interests thing and the Russian Business Interests thing and the Emoluments Clause thing and the Alex Schnaider thing and the hack of the DNC thing and the Guccifer 2.0 thing and the Mike Pence “I don’t know anything” thing and the Russians mysteriously dying thing and Trump’s public request to Russia to hack Hillary’s email thing and the Trump house sale for $100 million at the bottom of the housing bust to the Russian fertilizer king thing and the Russian fertilizer king’s plane showing up in Concord, NC during Trump rally campaign thing and the Nunes sudden flight to the White House in the night thing and the Nunes personal investments in the Russian winery thing and the Cyprus bank thing and Trump not releasing his tax returns thing and the Republican Party’s rejection of an amendment to require Trump to show his taxes thing and the election hacking thing and the GOP platform change to the Ukraine thing and the Steele Dossier thing and the Leninist Bannon thing and the Sally Yates can’t testify thing and the intelligence community’s investigative reports thing and Trump’s reassurance that the Russian connection is all “fake news” thing and Spicer’s Russian Dressing “nothing’s wrong” thing so there’s probably nothing there since the swamp has been drained, these people would never lie probably why Nunes cancels the investigation meetings all of this must be normal just a bunch of separate dots with no connection.
"May have." By flat out telling supporters to beat people up.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge for the West District of Kentucky David J. Hale ruled that Donald Trump may have incited violence against three protesters during a March 2016 campaign rally in Louisville when he urged the crowd to “get ‘em out of here,” the Courier-Journalreports.
George Takei’s recounts of his time at a Japanese-American internment camp have been put to page and brought to the stage. Now, he’s signed a book detail with IDW Publishing to create a graphic novel about what it was like for those imprisoned because of their heritage.
Wasn’t she the one saying shut about Beyoncé but 🐸☕️
No she wasn’t. On the contrary, Emma Watson praised Beyonce’s feminism, in a long discussion article in which she talked about how Beyonce takes control of the male gaze that’s so ubiquitous in music videos, and owns it, defying the common instruction to women in the business to present the illusion of their availability to men who watch; and how what Beyonce does broadens feminism and how empowering Beyonce’s feminism is.
And then white male media pushing assholes lifted two lines out of it to quote out of context to fool folk into thinking she criticised her instead.
Because misogynists hate women and feminism and want to divide us.
It was that asshole Piers Morgan, right? He does this kind of shit all the time, he’s too scared of women that won’t bow down to men and lick their feet. I’m still paying to the universe for him to fall in a pit, preferently one that goes to Hell.
yeah he was the latest, which prompted Emma Watson to tweet the 2014 article so everyone can see her fangirling Beyonce.
FEMINISM IS NOT A STICK WITH WHICH TO BEAT OTHER WOMEN WITH
Someone tattoo this on my forehead, also thank fucking god someone finally responded to this because I’ve been beyond tired of hearing misinformation about Emma Watson.
guys so i was doin a space camp class today trying to explain astrophysics to these ass children and their parents and this one lil kid goes up to me and he was like
“rey can i ask you a question?”
“yeah!” i said, expecting to explain the distortion of time to this literal six year old
“are you a girl or a boy? because u know so much about space i think youre an alien. are you an alien or a girl or a boy?”
cue adults laughing nervously (im androgynous looking so they were probs thinkin the same thing)
“im stardust. and so are you. we’re all stardust,” i explain. “iron can only be made in the cores of dying stars and humans require supplements of iron to live. you guys are made of stars.”
and ive never seen this little kid’s eyes get so fucking wide and he looked down at his hands and he was like
“oh.”
10/10 best answer ive given to the are you a girl or a boy question
hint: if a person with clinical depression and anxiety says theyre tired …. dont tell them they have no reason to be …. bc guess what….. They Know and Its Shitty
Louder!!!
I just want to add one thing-
If you have depression or anxiety? you’re not tired for no reason.
You’re tired because you have depression/anxiety.
Not only do they both come with low energy/fatigue as a legit common side effect, but they’re both fucking /exhausting/. fighting your brain all the time? exhausting. adrenaline crashes from anxiety/panic attacks? exhausting. being on edge all the time? exhausting. plus doing things costs /more/ energy when you have those mental illnesses.
You’re not tired for no reason, you’re tied because you have an illness that makes you tired.
Jason: *Pulls Clark aside at a gala event* Do you have ANY idea what the smashed bullets that hit you are being sold for on eBay?
Clark: *Shrugs* 20 bucks?
Jason: Thousands, Kent… I have a business proposal. When you get some free time, we can go somewhere and unload a couple rounds. You could buy your Ma like, four new Tractors.
Clark: *Adjusts his glasses* Ma could use a new tractor…
Jason: Great. Give me a call then, huh? *Slips him a piece of paper and walks away*
Bruce: *Walks up behind Clark and hisses in his ear* You will NOT go out into a field and let my son shoot you, understood?
april fools jokes are supposed to be stupid things like “putting a different cereal in the wrong cereal box” not fake breaking up with people and tricking them into clicking on a screamer video causing a panic attack. please remember that april fools is supposed to be fun not anxiety inducing or traumatizing.
