10 REASONS TO ADOPT A PET
- You save a life.
- The cost of adoption is less than buying a pet.
- Most shelter animals have had medical treatment and are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date with vaccines.
- There are more unique pets to choose from in shelters. Age, breeds, mixed breeds, and personality choices are greater.
- Many are already trained.
- Your bed is pre-warmed on cold winter nights.
- Animals are just ready to love you, no matter what.
- Adopting from a shelter opens a cage for another pet who needs a new forever home.
- An adult pet takes the guess work out of determining size, thickness of coat, and energy level.
- Mixed breeds are unique compared to purebreeds and may have less genetically inherited health problems.
Please adopt some lovely doggos
As someone who just adopted a third doggo from the shelter, please do it if you can find a dog right for you. Those shelters do everything they can to keep them alive, but it’s a family that keeps them happy.
Okay, but is there a quiz for which shelter kitty I should get?
@deigns good u asked, yes!!! sorry I forgot to add that one, anyway here is it

Plus? Those animals in the pound? They KNOW that they are on death row. My first dog as a married woman was an eleventh hour adoption. A 13-y-o basset hound mix (pound said they thought he was 11 because they were trying to save him by making him sound a teeny bit younger) and he was “Til death do we part” loyal. We lost him 4 years later to cancer, and we (the family had grown from 2 to 3 humans) were devastated.
My sister? Fosters cats, and ended up with a charmer who’d been hit by a car. Sephiroth is a well loved asshole, and his brother, Cloud (a stray who found a sucker bet), is almost canine levels of friendly.
Be a superhero. Save a life. Rescue.

As a side note, if you’re really dead set on a particular breed you can always try looking up a rescue organization for that specific breed. That’s how we managed to adopt a 1yo purebred italian greyhound–he had been abused by his first owner without the breeder’s knowledge, then shuffled around to a few homes before he finally got picked up by a greyhound rescue, and then came to us. He never 100% recovered his confidence and was an anxious dog most of his life, but he was a VERY happy dog who loved to snuggle and stared up at you with these big stupid doe eyes and ran around in circles when you let him out in the yard. I think every dog I’ve ever had was either from a rescue organization or a pound, and they’re incredible animals.
Please adopt cats too💜
Posting in hopes someone adopts my cat i had to surrender recently 😭🤞

my adopted baby
he was 10 years old and in the shelter because his human had passed away
he’s 12 now and the clingiest, sweetest boy who sits like a doofus, purrs nonstop and adores belly rubs

Honestly adopting this little 10yo lady was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I emailed the shelter during lockdown with details about my home life, house, work pattern etc and they choose a cat that would work for me. They were 100% right, she’s perfect! ❤️
adopted both my bbs and i love them so much 😭
Both adopted, both amazing !!
Both adopted over 10 years ago!!!
hauntedhousepicketfences
adopted from a shelter 2 weeks ago and she already feels like she’s been here for ages
iamthewildgirl
This is my adopted doggo from my local shelter. They had an adoption fair 2 days before I got her and no one wanted her because she’s a pit bull. Their loss, because she is the sweetest dog alive. Very well behaved and even if she was a rascal id love her anyway.
This is my rescue- she is a smelly girl and I’d die for her.
ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.
black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.
bruce: how’d you get your scar?
zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.
bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.
Zuko: Do you mind if I wear this blue demon mask?
Bruce: *sniff, tear in his eye* Not at all.
*Zuko fighting the Joker*
J: "wan na kno w h ow i go t thes e sc ar s"
Z: *rips off mask* i don't give a fuck
I’m still stuck at the “batman has adoption papers in his utility belt”.
“Quick, it’s time to use the Bat-adoption papers!”
silverscreenx
Bat-option papers
Okay, but you’re missing the best part of this.
Alfred and Iroh complimenting each other on tea while they discuss their overly dramatic children.
iroh: once, i told zuko that he needs to work on his inter turmoil. he screamed at me that he had no such inner turmoil, and then proceeded to go to a cliff during a thunderstorm to scream at God to strike him with lightning
alfred: master bruce and i have that interaction at least three times per week.
@absentlyabbie
I see your "Alfred and Iroh as tea bros" and raise you "Alfred and Iroh as tea rivals"
Consider
Iroh: you too must learn patience. Boiling the water ruins the delicate flavor of the white jade
Alfred: oh I'm dreadfully sorry - for some reason I expected this tea to have TEA in it
(later)
Alfred: *aggressively laying out full tea service with milk, lemon, sugar, and, just to drive his point in, jam*
Iroh: *dying inside*
excellent addition
hey bruce spent a lot of his bat-study abroad in the far east and has kind of a weeb weapon collection so proposal, what if Bruce appreciates Iroh’s tea
while Zuko is enthusiastic about cream and sugar
further fueling their dad-figures’ passive-aggressive rivalry?
You had me at Zuko vs. Joker, I was crying by the Eastern vs. Western tea service
Wait a minute. Batman and Zuko have the same arch-nemesis.

Saw the last comment and my brain would not rest until it happened
this post has everything
this was an enjoyable ride. i liked the scenery very much. smooth suspension, nice height, several fascinating loops. 10/10 would go again.
feels like every few weeks I have to relearn how to exist, that I do need to sit in the sun and move my body and not drink too much coffee and dress in clothes that make me feel good and talk to my friends and journal and get off my phone sometimes and eat vegetables and drink more tea and generally reclaim the space in my life for myself ya know
Halloween is almost here! (Yes it’s July, shhhh)
the group chat when i ask whos available to hang out next week
Honestly this is one of the best formatted jokes of all time.
Why are medieval movies always serious war dramas? I just want a medieval rom com. No listen - it could be so good:
The film opens with the wedding - William de something or other is a young nobleman who expected to spend the rest of his life in a monastery illuminating books when his older brother suddenly dies, leaving him with a title and a huge estate to run. He needs a wife and heir to legitimize his claim, and Eleanor is the young daughter of the lord in the neighboring estate. She is eager to get out of her fathers house and become a wife, and the marriage will be a strategic alliance between the two families. Everything is perfect.
However, it instantly becomes clear that the newlyweds can’t stand each other. He thinks she is a shallow teenager, she thinks he’s a pretentious asshole. As soon as they are alone on their wedding night, they make a plan. Instead of consummating their marriage, they will write to the pope with some excuse (that I need to actually research) and request an annulment. The letter will take several months to reach the Vatican and back, and in the mean time they decide to keep it a secret and play the role of a happy couple.
Shenanigans ensue. Running an estate is hard, and both of them are terrible at it. Eleanor starts off on the wrong foot with the seneschal and the servants, the money isn’t adding up, and William has to deal with his serfs coming to him with increasingly hilarious and convoluted complaints. He snores, she hogs the blankets. The members of the household spy and gossip, the animals are underfoot, and someone is always playing the bagpipes at the worst time. The newlyweds bicker and argue and can’t wait for the letter to arrive so they can finally drop the charade and part ways.
After a while though, Eleanor starts getting the hang of being a lady. It turns out she has a brilliant head for math and logistics, and when she figures out that William’s seneschal has been cheating him and fixes the budget to get them through the winter, he starts to trust and rely on her to run the estate. It turns out that William’s abrasivness was hiding a pious and sensitive interior, and once he realised she won’t judge him for it he teaches Eleanor to appreciate art and philosophy (and also how to sword fight because this is my movie and I want a hot fencing lesson scene). Eleanor helps William come to terms with his bisexuality, he learns to respect her struggle as a woman in a patriarchal society (using language that make sense for the period). They realize that unfortunately they also find each other very attractive.
(Someone needs to come up with an actual plot, I’m not good at that.)
The letter from the pope finally arrives granting the annulment, but they take one look at it, toss it in the fire, and go consummate the marriage.
The costumes will all be accurate to the 14th century and thus used to comedic effect whenever possible. The church, the feudal system, and other institutions of Medieval society will be treated as flawed yet nuanced parts of everyday life, people will be reasonably religious for the time period, and there will be lots of dirty jokes (and a hot fencing lesson scene).
Hollywood give me money!!!
Why are medieval movies always serious war dramas?
This is blatant A Knights Tale erasure and I will not stand for it.
(Your idea also sounds fun.)
Midieval/fantasy comedies are my jam and we deserve more.
A few more honorable mentions:
Galavant (technically tv but still so so good)
Ella Enchanted
Ever After
Tenth Kingdom (mini series)
And of course Monty Python and the Holy Grail
“Opposites attract” should be reserved for like “she’s messy and he’s neat!” Not like “she’s supportive and he’s a soul-sucking toxic person!”
castiel-knight-of-hell
There have been studies that show “opposites attract” is a real thing and often makes for the best couples but it should be thought of more like “people with complimenting personalities attract.” An extrovert and introvert get together: the introvert starts enjoying social gatherings more because of the support of the person they love and the extrovert learns the joy of taking a night off to sit at home and watch tv. One person is terrible at managing money but great at teaching children, the other is great at handling money but terrible at teaching children: together they make an amazing team of parents and the kids grow up in a home with stable finances and homework help whenever they need it.
It’s so attractive when someone actually puts in efforts to see or talk to you.

So i went on a date to a haunted house and made friends with the girls behind us. As we’re going through, one of them is holding my hand and a guy leaps out and separates us. I panic as my date is pulling me along, I reach back for her and grab her hand in a group of three other performers and start getting out if there. After a bit I look back to check on her and I discover I’m holding the hand of a six foot tall zombie creature and not a 5'2" girl.
Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.
I had basically kidnapped this performer from his section and abandoned the girl and her friend behind us.
Yes, I screamed. My date thought it was Hilarious.
Yes, we found the girls. Turns out when I grabbed the performers hand, he grabbed theirs so our group wouldn’t be separated. So there was just this zombie in the middle of our group line for like fifty feet

This is like a Scooby Doo bit I love it
when u wake up a little and are like “i know what would take this from a 10 to a 100” and u roll over and experience mind melting euphoria before u fall back asleep… best part of being alive. humans were made for beddy bye
legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends
any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.
friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.
someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.
buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.
pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.
people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.
legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
A tall ghoulish looking man with a green robe and strange symbols on his cheeks comes up to you and says "hey sexy. Drink this"
Would you?
hi!! this is a blue crush lemonade from a restaurant called Sugar Mama’s in Baltimore, Maryland, for anyone wondering!!!! support Black-owned businesses!
*drinks the support black owned businesses juice*
Fuck love at first sight, give me friends at first sight. Maybe it's the instant recognition that whatever you have going on in your head, the person in front of you has the same stuff. It can be the spark of connection, the mirrored smile from opposite sides of a room, the companionable silence in a library, the shared boredom at a train station, the startled laugh that brings that warm, fuzzy, pleased satisfaction in the person that caused it. The joining forces for a shared objective despite being strangers, the lending a hand in the right moment, or maybe it's someone else making in the introductions, connecting two people that until now lived in close but separated quarters. There are a thousand ways to fall into a new friendship. Friendship at first sight. Adopting another person to be a part of your life, for who knows how long. Sharing a bus ride. Reading the same book and talking about it on the internet. Looking at someone and realising once again: "oh, we could be friends." Incredible.
