endlessly funny that some pets will just decide they are service animals now without any training or feedback from humans. babygirl no one hired you. you do not have a license for this
I’m not talking about humans pretending their untrained pets are service animals so they can bring them places they shouldn’t be allowed. I’m talking about my dog, who took one look at the two people with severe ADHD time-blindness and executive dysfunction who adopted him and was like, “Great. I am your Watch Dog now, as in, dog who functions like a watch. That is, if your watch was a seven-pound furby that could run this house like the goddamn navy. I will catapult myself onto your chest and nip at your hands when you fail to get up and Do Things in response to my incessant whining that it is Time For You To Eat Lunch/Get Out Of Bed/Go Exercise/Take Your Meds/Etc Now Now Right Now. This is a service I provide for to Helping You. No, you cannot opt out of the Helping You. Do not attempt to resist the Helping You.”

TrainedProfessionalMy cat knows when I should stay in bed and screams at me until I do and then sits on me so I don’t get back up. If I do get up she follows me and screams until I sit down again
She knows by sniffing my mouth first. Which she does at least once a day
When I am struggling to eat she’ll do her “I need food” act even when her food is full until I eat
@thebibliosphere I think we’ve found Holly Mop’s people
Some beloved critters really take the ‘companion’ role so seriously they train themselves to go above and beyond to the point where you’ll find yourself being bullied into lying down by a 10lb Shih Tzu. And then they’re right. You were getting a migraine. (It’s me. I’m in bed with a migraine with a 10lb Shih Tzu lying on top of me.)
I have very high blood pressure. We don’t know why. Tests have been inconclusive, but unmedicated, my BP hangs out in the “wouldn’t having a stroke be fun?” zone pretty much all the time.
Elsie has trained herself to alert when my BP gets too high. And having a nineteen-pound Maine Coon tell you to take your meds is hard to ignore.
EN subbed vid (Aug 15): Zhu Yilong touches on the issue of winning performance awards and if the recognition is important to him
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!
"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”
“Think not of the books you’ve bought as a ‘to be read’ pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood.”

i would legit listen to a whole album of ambient music made like this
And the album has to include the purring and “mow!” Sounds
I could listen to this for hours!
this cat purring and mrah-ing at this board is the only meditation music I need until the end of time
…omg. YOU CAN BUY THE TRACK. XD The kitty’s person is selling it on bandcamp. AMAZING. *drops some money in the tip jar, runs off with a sweet meditation track*
alright go support your local ambientkitty 🐱https://t.co/AhDHrOJ79i

Since the tweet is now defunct, it seems, here’s the direct link to the artist on bandcamp. 🥰
Superman losing his composure only when people shrug off the lives of others. Doesn’t matter how well he knows them. Doesn’t matter if they’re even human.
He gets upset at the Justice Gang for brutally killing a rampaging Kaiju and not even attempting to find a way to move it or at least euthanize it more humanely.
The only time he raises his voice during Lois’ interview is when she digs into his interference in geopolitics, because people would have died if he hadn’t acted. The only time he yells at Luthor is when Luthor abducts Krypto. The only time he cries is when Luthor murders someone he barely even knew.
He saves a fucking squirrel for god’s sake. We’re so back.
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
