To my understanding, show dogs and racehorses have the same kind of a "no two animals with the same exact name in the registry" rule, so they have to get creative with the official names.
And that's why pedigree show dogs have full legal names like Lotus Farms' Pilgrim's Light (answers to the name "Piggy"), and champion race horses have names like Cocaine Canoe Nutcracker Supreme (answers to no man nor god).

I wanted to draw a comic based on this screenshot I saw earlier! It was super fun to do, I want to make more text post-based comics! I think Alfred is so silly...!
I have been seeing a lot of art fight stuff and it looks so fun!
many of you weren't on the internet in the days before voice chat, before youtube, and don't know what it was like to hear someone roll the dice on pronouncing 'meme' out loud in real life. I heard mem. I heard mee-mee. I heard maim. I heard may-may. you weren't there you don't understand.
Thank you @catpella for this fun commission, and for agreeing to share !

The consequence of corporate greed
It’s been 14 years since I sat in my college dorm room and typed up my very first sex toy review. My blog is now a teen, the same age I was when I fell in love with a girl for the first time. Should I be asking my blog about its sexuality? Honey, you know you can come to me with anything.
I could yammer on about how different everything was back in 2007, because BOY WAS IT, but there are more pressing matters here, such as getting free sex toys into your hands! I’ve gathered 50 prizes for this giveaway, and I can’t wait to bestow them upon you.
The first known fan-created AMV received its public debut in 1982.
Internet access became available to the general public in 1994 (it had previously been restricted to university campuses, military bases, and certain other specialised venues).
For all intents and purposes, AMVs as a medium of expression pre-date the Internet by over a decade. Though they’re often thought of as a cultural phenomenon of the early 2000s, the medium was twenty years old by that point – the early 2000s is simply when home Internet connections reached the point of being fast and stable enough that distributing AMVs online became feasible, particularly once YouTube entered the picture in 2005.
If you’ve ever wondered why AMVs seemed to just pop into existence as a fully realised art form circa 2000, well, the reason might be that there’s two decades of history you’re not seeing.
I remember getting music videos on VHS by mail when I was in high school in the early 1990s. Technically they weren’t AMVs because they were X-Files, not anime, but a pen pal in the X-Files fandom had access to an AV lab at her school and would edit episode clips down into music videos set to her favorite tunes using a dual-VCR setup. I’ve done music videos with modern-day editing software and looking back I can’t imagine how dedicated she must have been to manage it the way she did.
A lot of them probably wouldn't last at your job
Last year I had an internship at a fancy office during the day, and a food service job at night. One of the ladies at the office told me she needed a part-time job for some extra cash, and I let her know about an opening in my food service job, described what would be expected, all of that.
Guys. She quit after one (1) shift, called me the next day, and ranted, “You never told me it was going to be that hard, is that what you do every night?! I’m not 20 anymore, I’m 50, I can’t believe they only pay you $9.50/hr to do all that work!” [For the record, I had coworkers who were 65+]
She was shocked when I explained that yeah, most food service jobs require you to stock heavy boxes, work the register, and learn to cook/prep food, then clean up before you go home. It never occurred to her that people who “just flip burgers” actually have demanding jobs.
“I’m going to have to be extra nice to those people from now on!” Like yeah, no shit?
I’ve told this story before I’m sure, but when I got my first office job and escaped retail hell, I tended to stay at my desk on my breaks. My manager, well-meaning, passed by and reminded me to make sure I took my breaks and got up and got away from my desk regularly.
I kinda laughed and said “Tanya, I worked retail before this. This entire job is a break, to me. I get to sit down all day. Just let me enjoy that.”
And I still think about it sometimes when I’m in the breakroom in the morning. How I have the unspeakable luxury to take my coffee cup, go to the kitchen, wash the cup out, pour myself a new cup of coffee, chat with coworkers if anyone’s in the breakroom while I’m doing that, and then head back to my desk before I really *start* my day. Without worrying that I’m going to get in trouble or be seen as slacking off. As opposed to the rushed “toss your purse in a locker, clock in, and get out on the floor and start cleaning things/helping customers/fixing signage/etc.” start-of-shift routine from my retail days.
When I switched from retail to a job that used my degree, I didn’t know what to DO with my suddenly hour-long lunch. I had to un-learn snarfing my food so fast I got hiccups. I slowly realized I had time to *drive* somewhere to get lunch sometimes instead of bringing food from home or walking to the restaurant next door. Everything slows down when you’re not in retail/food industry, and it’s endlessly frustrating how people who never worked it treat those industries as “lazy” and “inferior” and “not a REAL job”. It is, real, HARD, work, and the people in it who aren’t physically ill from stress are superhuman.
Not me crying & dreaming about leaving my retail job
They're gonna put a spell on you.

One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed about non-natives appropriating our stuff is they never want anything but sage, smudging, and feathers.
Native people will share: our food, our music, our dancing, our art.
But no one is interested in those. They don’t CARE about our food and music. We never see those things in popular culture. Non-natives just want to take our religious items, because they feel entitled to the things people don’t want to share.
