Since dogs don’t experience the same human for more than 15, max 20 years, they don’t get to see children grow up and become elderly. They must experience the two groups as separate beings, maybe even species. (It’d be like if we ever only saw puppies, or adult dogs, but never saw the transition).
So how we experience pigeons
ppl love to preach about how childhood trauma and/or unaddressed trauma and lack of proper psych care and certain mental disorders can yield emotionally abusive behavior in people who don't intend to be abusive, right up until they realize we're actual people. then we're just plain abusers, then it's simply impossible for the abuse to be unintentional, because it doesn't fit the mold of when it's supposedly understandable for us to lash out/etc. so which mental disorders are y'all giving free passes for emotional abuse? what type of childhood trauma 'counts'? what's 'bad enough' for bad behavior to 'make sense'? "a person with X disorder can say Y, but if they say Z, that's just too far, and I will arbitrarily define the bounds of their personal life and emotions to claim such"
yeah after that point, once there's been a Good Guy(tm) and Bad Guy(tm) defined, there's no more preaching about the societal pattern we fell into, what happened to us, the abuse we experienced that led to us having a flawed comprehension of conflict and thus being abusive ourselves, etc. because by that point, anyone who points out those patterns is labeled an abuse apologist or accused of making excuses for us. if u think like that then how are u going to stop more ppl from following the same pattern and becoming abusers too? is it just like yeah after that point, you realize how ugly we are? that we are not as simple as "good" or "bad" people -- that for a lot of mentally ill ppl like us our fucking brains don't comprehend a vast amount of social standards, and we don't fucking understand how to tell people when we're uncomfortable, and we don't fucking understand how to get out of unsafe relationships without exploding or pushing the person away. none of us who actually recognize what's wrong WANT to be like this -- once we see the pattern we are thinking about it just as much as you are if not more, and every piece of advice given to neurotypicals -- or people whose disorders don't impact social behavior in this way -- is considered by us threefold if not more. because if we wanted to be bad people, we'd be capable of doing it on purpose; we don't want to be.
and it apparently messes up this sociopolitical narrative about who's allowed to make unstable, regrettable decisions and who's allowed to improve or recover. who's allowed to be seen as mentally ill, and who's required to be seen as malicious -- for inflicting the same damage on others regardless of which is the case! it's like only mentally ill people who fit ur perfect expectation of a "troubled person" are allowed to improve. if we're not troubled enough for your standards then we must just be plain old evil. ppl think you're either a victim or an abuser and there's no way to have been both, even during separate events in your life
and what's wild. these ppl are against suicide, but don't want us to improve our lives and continue to exist either. any statement we make is labeled a lie. u want someone u can rag on as long as they're alive no matter what they say or how they address their issues, and if they ever try to acknowledge anything and move on, u gonna either drag up old shit for a new crowd, or you gonna fabricate brand new shit. bc you need a target, you need a clear enemy so you feel like you Did Something about a Problem. never matters to u if we talked to the ppl we hurt about what happened! we're a political chesspiece for u to move around and make examples of and u also use the people we hurt in the exact same fucking way no matter what interpersonal conflicts get resolved. u use them without their permission or input, u use them as a chesspiece labeled Victim(tm) and that's it. u take their autonomy from them just like u take it from us, but in their case they don't deserve it whatsoever. it's not about what abuse between humans means in society -- or how to address it -- to these ppl, it's about labeling a "bad guy" so they don't have to investigate the complex social issues and background that contributed to the formation of a Bad Person in the first place, but they can still feel like they Care.
and THAT is what I think people mean when they say they dislike "cancel culture" -- not that they are as a whole against public repercussions for mistakes and harmful actions.
So what if you’re alone right now. Embrace it. Go get coffee alone. Shop alone. Drive alone. Watch movies alone. Get to know yourself. Nothing bad can come from riding whatever wave to self improvement you’re blessed with in the moment.

Having a sibling is either “we ride together we die together” or “no officer I’ve never seen that person before in my life” there is no in between.
HARRIET TUBMAN ESCAPED FROM SLAVERY AND THEN WENT BACK TO GET OTHERS. LIKE, I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO HARRIET TUBMAN IS AND THAT SHE DID THAT, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT IN FOR A SECOND.
HARRIET TUBMAN WAS HELD CAPTIVE AND BOUND TO UNPAID, BACK-BREAKING LABOR SINCE BIRTH UNDER PENALTY OF TORTURE OR DEATH. SHE MANAGED TO ESCAPE THAT LIFE, AND SHE TURNED THE FUCK AROUND AND WENT THE FUCK BACK TO GET EVERYONE ELSE WHO WAS STILL TRAPPED IN IT. AND THEN SHE DID IT AGAIN EIGHTEEN MORE TIMES.
WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS PREPARED TO MAKE A STAND AGAINST SLAVERY, HARRIET TUBMAN BASICALLY SAID HE SHOULD STOP BEING SUCH A DIAPER BABY AND THAT GUYS WHO ARE TOO SCARED TO END SLAVERY DON’T DESERVE TO WIN WARS.
NOT ONLY DID SHE SECRET OVER 300 SLAVES TO FREEDOM ON THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, BUT SHE ACTED AS A SPY FOR THE UNION ARMY DURING THE CIVIL WAR, AND BECAME THE FIRST WOMAN TO LEAD AN ARMED ASSAULT IN THE CIVIL WAR. THAT RAID BROUGHT FREEDOM TO OVER 700 SLAVES IN ONE GO.
SO I JUST WANT YOU TO STEW ON THAT FOR LIKE A MINUTE. ACTING IN THE SHADOWS, SHE WALKED INTO HELL ON EARTH 19 TIMES TO SAVE HER FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS FROM THE TORMENT SHE ENDURED, AND THE SECOND SHE WAS GIVEN EVEN A MODICUM OF POWER, SHE MANAGED TO FREE SEVEN HUNDRED SLAVES IN ONE DAY.
I GUARANTEE, HOWEVER IMPRESSED YOU ALREADY ARE WITH HARRIET TUBMAN, YOU ARE FALLING LIKE AT LEAST 40% SHORT OF HOW IMPRESSED YOU SHOULD BE WITH HARRIET TUBMAN. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF BADASSERY IN THE ENTIRETY OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
I just feel like it should be noted that she navigated her way across the Underground Railroad (through thicket and swamp and forest and every risk of wildlife you could imagine) with her own knowledge of the natural world. Some call her “the first Eco-womanist” because it was that understanding of the plant and animal life around her as well as knowledge of the stars that allowed her to bring people with her. Her prowess for dealing with immense problems and obstacles on the spot was nothing short of genius.
She didn’t stop there, either. Harriet Tubman also worked with the Union army during the Civil War as a cook, nurse, scout, and spy. She organized black men in the area as scouts, and often led missions herself with the task of gathering information and to persuade slaves to leave; most of whom joined the regiments of black soldiers for the Union.
She also got ripped off by the government, who wasn’t paying her what she deserved (and wouldn’t even give her her pension after the war for her service- but instead eventually granted her pension as the widow of a veteran), so she supported herself by making and selling root beer.
She used her earnings to support free black women, she worked to support two schools for freed men in the south, she provided food and care to the black people that came to her home, and she fought for women’s suffrage. When she died, she was buried with military honors.
Oh, and when she had brain surgery, she denied anesthesia and instead bit down on a bullet.
THESE ARE EVEN MORE AWESOME THINGS ABOUT HARRIET TUBMAN, GOOD ADDITIONS, YOU GUYS!!
Also worth noting that she did all this while living with the results of a traumatic head injury sustained in her childhood, which included pain, bouts of dizziness, and episodes of hypersomnia (sudden passing out) she was not just a badass, she was a disabled badass
That head injury was from when she was trying to save someone else, too. A boy was in trouble with their slave master and the master threw a weight at him, but she jumped in front of him and took the blow. She then suffered from narcolepsy the rest of her life. Also, a cool story about her: One time she was riding on a train, lightly disguised so as to hopefully not be recognized, and there was a ‘WANTED’ poster of her on the train wall. Some guys were looking at it and she overheard them saying they thought she looked like the woman on the poster. Because the poster described that she was illiterate, she grabbed a book and pretended to read it. The men then said it couldn’t be her, and she got off the train safely. She was literally such a smart, quick thinker. I can’t wait to have her on American money!
Kim Jong-un only went to South Korea so he could watch Infinity War
petition for stars in the day time please???

Smart and lazy is a horrible combination that results in disappointed teachers, exasperated friends and a whole lot of bad doodling
Oh shit this was literally me in school
Don’t forget those angry parents and half finished homework assignments crumpled in your binders
Im smart and tired I want to do good but i dont feel like trying anymore
look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.
i just wanna have soft glowy skin, long eyelashes, pink lips, rosy cheeks, lots of cash and no responsibilities

good morning everyone have an absolutely furious mongoose
It’s cuter when you recognize that the lion with visible spots is a juvenile. There’s a very high chance the other lion that runs over to investigate is the MOTHER.
The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)
this is all in all an adorable video 10/10
