THIS IS A CAT IN A HALLOWEEN COSTUME PLAYING WITH A TINY PUMPKIN THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

IT’S NOT EVEN OCTOBER

IT’S ALWAYS OCTOBER

worth watching for the end

yo what tHE FUCK ¡

Interesting fact these two are playing but they are using play behaviors of their own species so they dont really “match up”!

Dog - is “bowing” and using open mouth “bites” as forms of play

“Play fight with me!”

Cat - is giving the little paw bats they use when playing with kittens

“Cute kittens get booped!”

They are both trying to engage the other in a playful way but not understanding the others responce.

The dog is like “you smack so no play? but not hard smack and no bad noise so not angry?”

The cat is like “why you jump around? open mouth but no chomp? no hiss so is okay?”

And then they sort of settle with a kind of communal grooming gesture they both understand!

Dog: no play? okay i lay… we calm now friend!

Cat: sad? no play? is ok i luv u weird kitten!

i’ve been crying laughing over this for the past 5 minutes

This honestly reminds me of a show on the history channel where they spent like 25 minutes wondering how the sides of all the pyramids seemed to be perfectly divisible by pi or something, and people where theorizing about aliens and some lost form of mathematics, but then at the end they interviewed a tiered looking paleontologist and he was just like “maybe they just used a wheel to do all their measurements.” and the whole show just immediately collapsed.

can you imagine being so far up your own ass with conspiracy theories that you forget about circles

This clickbait is literally SO funny because while I get they wanted it to look intimidating, that's a fucking ringneck snake.

I guess it looks kind of scary if you dont know what it is. But the ringneck snake (called "southern ringneck" in Florida, where I live) is probably one of the most non-lethal and completely harmless snakes ever. They're not venomous, are nocturnal, and also....

ONLY GROW TO BE THIS FUCKING BIG. They're super tiny!!!! Adorable little things!!! They're just babies. And I love them with my whole heart.

How can you look at this thing, full grown and harmless, and be like "that thing is gonna kill me"? U can't. Is babie.

These are bi dice and I now have a mighty neeeeeedddd

Things cartoon writers seem to think are VERY VERY FUNNY that I never found funny even as a small child:

@ butch hartman

viewing queer identities as “this is the label that makes me happy and feels most accurate now” rather than “this is who I am, was, and always will be” will definitely take the pressure off, friends. changing your mind is proof that you have one.

Tumblr owners be like “oh, nothing crazy! We just wanna make a few changes, maybe include some premium options, you know. :)”

We rioted when the background color changed from blue to blue, Mr. Tumblrman.

I rebloged the original but I like this one better

Intersectional Feminism means addressing injustice and promoting equality wherever it may exist and whoever it may effect.

I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME.

Put changing tables in men’s restrooms. Dads exist.

A-fucking-men!

I cant begin to count the number of times my brother had to change his little girl on a dirty counter in the mens room.

They wanna talk about men “stepping up” and “being dads not babysitters” but they dont wanna give them the tools necessary to BE dads.

“My wife and I, we share everything equally. We cook and clean. We work hard — equally. Why do we share equal responsibility but society views us differently?” — Donte Palmer, from the original post.

me, outside of minecraft: i love the Enderman™ they’re cute.. they just want to hold a Block :-)

me, the moment i encounter one in-game:

Women aren’t better multitaskers than men – they’re just doing more work

“But a new study, published today in PLOS One, shows women are actually no better at multitasking than men. The study tested whether women were better at switching between tasks and juggling multiple tasks at the same time. The results showed women’s brains are no more efficient at either of these activities than men’s.“

“My colleagues and I recently busted another relevant myth – that women are better at seeing mess than men. We found men and women equally rated a space as messy. The reason men do less cleaning than women may lie in the fact that women are held to higher standards of cleanliness than men, rather than men’s “dirt blindness”.“

Literally no one:

Not a single soul:

@starberry-cupcake your tags are epic and belong up here, okay

If I were the teacher of this class, I'd have everyone get out two highlighters. Then I'd have them highlight every physical description on the page. And then use the other colour and describe every psychological or mental description.

And let them see for themselves the colour distribution on the page.

yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

Draw a mix between a favorite insect (or reptile) and mammal (or bird)!

Absolutely could not shake this mental image D:

The snorse is a solitary, heavyset predator originating from southern North America. Though wild snorses are dangerous when frightened, a tamed individual makes a pleasant companion and can be ridden at a consistent, mild pace all day.

Snorse breeders often strive to establish new morphs of snorse from the available patterns and colors found in captivity and the wild. As such, the market for snorses is filled with a dramatic range of appearances.

 The snorse’s requirement for live, large, whole food makes feeding difficult for some, so feral populations derived from released snorses can be found all across the globe. Because of their adaptability, they often pose a moderate ecological threat in their established locations and hunting for them is always encouraged.

Anerythristic snorse.

Lavender snorse.

Hypo mojave snorse.

Well this is terrifying :)

On one hand I want tons of them??? Or maybe just one very majestic one mixed with a white lipped iridescent python and a Friesian horse!

Oh, wouldn't that be beautiful???

I absolutely love this!! There are all kinds of thing you could have picked and you did some animals I've grown up with all my life!! And you provided a bunch of info too???

Oh, thank you so much!!!

So you know what I don’t get? Why people repeat words. (x)

screams my professor was trying to find an example of reduplication so the next class he came back and said “I FOUND REDUPLICATION IN ENGLISH” and then he said “Milk milk” and everyone was just “what?” and he said “you know when you go to a coffee shop and they ask if you want soy milk and you say ‘no i want milk milk’” and everyone just had this collective sigh of understanding.

Another name for this particular construction is contrastive focus reduplication, and there’s a famous linguistics paper about it which is commonly known as the Salad Salad Paper. You know, because if you want to make it clear that you’re not talking about pasta salad or potato salad, you might call it “salad salad”. The repetition indicates that you’re intending the most prototypical meaning of the word, like green salad or cow’s milk, even though other things can be considered types of salad or milk.

this isnt a parallel i asked for nor expected but i aint complaining

Like honestly it is so important that people stop associating radfem solely with TERFs because it blinds y'all to how insidious, pervasive, and dangerous radfem rhetoric is.

Are radfems transphobic? Yes. But that’s not all they are.

Radfem rhetoric is behind a lot of the queerphobia, biphobia, aphobia, panphobia, kinkphobia, polyphobia and sex negativity in general on this site. Their rhetoric is woven intrinsically into kink criticism and exclusionist ideology. But because it doesn’t have “trans people are evil” on the tin, y'all are swallowing those pills wholesale without giving it a second thought.

And then, because “radfem” has come to mean “TERF” on this site, when people point out to you that you’re parroting radfem rhetoric, you’re able to easily dismiss it by saying “How dare you call me transphobic!”

My friends. Transphobia is not the only dogwhistle radfems use. It is not the only pillar of their toxic belief system.

Familiarise yourself with all their beliefs. Think critically about all of them.

If you don’t want to be called out on spreading radfem ideology, make sure your ideals aren’t borrowing from the more subtle and less overtly disagreeable aspects of their belief system.

anti-kink/kinkphobic radfems reblogging DDLG/CGL posts to scream ‘think of the children!’ (incidentally exposing their followers to it whether they liked it or not) was a major catalyst in the formation of anti-shipping rhetoric & the resulting communities, which are massive sex-shaming engines of hatred & fear-mongering.

and a major reason exclusionism took off so well is b/c radfem lite™ ideology & rhetoric has been pushed & popularized on tumblr for years before that.

here’s some radfem lite™ rhetoric you may have encountered on tumblr: 

any one of these things on their own might seem kind of reasonable, especially when caged in flowery language or carefully implied instead of stated outright. and some of them have a grain of truth in them that lends them that fleeting sense of legitimacy.

but buy enough of them, and you’re well on your way into the radfem fold - and all the demands of perfect self-control, sexual purity, & virtuous behavior it places on you. (ironically … just like misogynists. whom they happily ally themselves with.)
