I don't understand. Are cats not a part of nature? Wouldn't letting them be outside be the natural thing to do, letting nature do its thing even if birds are killed? They are animals, it doesn't seem right to me to lock them in a house for the majority of the time. They probably want to be free, they're supposed to be outside like other animals
Cats (Felix catus) are a domesticated variety of the African Wildcat (Felis lybica). This process occurred c. 10,000 years ago. The cats which reside in our homes are different from their wild ancestors on a genetic level which effects their temperament. They also have decreased cranial volume.
All this to say that domestic cats are, in fact, not a part of nature, in fact they are classified among the top 100 worst invasive species by the Global Invasive Species Database. This is why their presence, and predation, in the environment is so devastating.
As of 2016 cats were implicated in the extinction of 63 species, this is 26% of total distinctions attributed to invasive mammalian predators. That's 40 species of bird, 21 species of mammals, and 2 species of reptiles. They are considered a threat to the continued existence of 420 species.
I don't even know how to begin to describe the impact domestic cats have on the environment so here's a huge list of various studies across the globe.
Do you believe that dogs should be allowed to free-range, to come and go as they please wherever they please? What about ferrets? Rabbits? If you've answered "No" to any of these, then why are cats exempt from the basic rules of courtesy other domesticated species are held to?
The idea that "cats want to be free" is an example of anthropomorphizing, or ascribing human emotions to animals. Cats do not have a concept of "freedom," they do not yearn for something they don't understand.
That being said, controlled time outdoors can be a good form of enrichment for some cats - this means on a harness and leash accompanied by a person, or in a secure enclosure like a catio. However while some cats may enjoy this others have no interest in, or are actively avoidant of, the outdoors and shouldn't be forced.
israel currently in talks with egypt and the palestinian authority to extract gas from the gaza marine field off the coast of the gaza strip. the entirety of what is called "israel" is occupied palestinian land, but even by the unjust metric of international law, the gaza marine field is under palestinian territories.
israel not abiding by international law is nothing new of course, nor is the egyptian government once again enabling the continued oppression of palestinians and exploitation of their natural resources.
Hold up, I don't know all the intricacies of Middle East politics, especially when it comes to Egypt, but since when is Egypt cool with enabling the operation of Palestinians? When did anything get warm between them and Israel?
egypt was the first arab state to normalize relations with the zionist entity. following a cease fire in the 4th arab-israel war, president anwar al sadat singed a peace treaty and an agreement known as the camp david agreements, overseen by usamerican officials. essentially, the egyptian government would recognize occupied palestinian territories as belonging to israel and allow passage of israeli ships through the suez canal which had previously been under blockade by the egyptian government, and in exchange israel would give back the egyptian sinai peninsula to egypt which they had occupied in a previous war.
this agreement was a huge slap to the face to palestinians and and pretty much everyone in the region. it marked a shift in the egyptian government's political role in the middle east and north africa, a shift from an anti-zionist, anti-imperialist state to an aligned state with the west and specifically the us. regardless, the peace treaty wasn't received well by the egyptian people, and anwar al sadat was assassinated later on the anniversary of the 4th arab-israeli war during a military parade celebrating it.
as it stands right now, the egyptian government is a puppet and arm of american imperialism in the middle east, and has been for decades. the us and the west rely on egypt being a country in close proximity to palestine/israel and at the same time brokers peace with israel to thwart palestinian liberation. whenever escalations rise up in occupied palestinian territories, egypt is expected to be the "mediator," to hinder palestinian resistance movements. in some cases the egyptian military has been directly violent towards palestinians on the gaza-egypt border.
Death to zionist settler colonialism means death to all US puppet regimes and the whole empire too.
slutshaming being like the official slash accepted term is so dumb though like imagine if we called misogyny bitchphobia
Making a new post since the other one is doing absolutely nothing to help me survive until Monday.
I’m Victoria. I am black, bisexual and disabled. If I could get just like $20 I could make it work until I get my SSI on Monday. If willing to pay anyone back.
It’s pride month and Juneteenth just passed and I could just get a little bit of help.
Also, I start orientation for a new job next week so fingers crossed I don’t have to ask for help much longer.
Thank you for reading and possibly considering helping me ✨✨✨
All the money I have
i think some of you have to acknowledge that you're functionally 2012 men's rights activists
right like. at what point do you just admit you're functionally a conservative
A federal judge on Wednesday struck down Florida rules championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis restricting Medicaid coverage for gender dysphoria treatments for potentially thousands of transgender people.
“Gender identity is real” and the state has admitted it, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle wrote in a 54-page ruling.
some people on here could really stand to dial back on the joke homophobic language and joke usage of incel and right-wing memes and joke bullying bc we're really reaching the 'this is not satire of the thing but just the thing' saturation point
Placing asylum seekers with disabilities in a former care home, and leaving them to die...
Sometimes I feel like I'm exaggerating when I say the UK is a fascist state, when I say that it's like Germany in the 1930s, and then I read things like this and realise... no, if anything it's worse than I realise.
If you live in the UK you cannot, should not just be sitting by and letting this happen. I get we all have our own struggles, I get it...but I honestly believe if something doesn't change soon, then we will sleepwalk into a genocide of some kind.
The scapegoating of refugees, the bibby stockholm, places like this...
Tell me what's different...
"trans women are seen by our enemies as overtly sexual, to most we only exist as a porn category. we need to fight to show that we are not purely to exist as fetishes" and: "our enemies demonize trans women for having sexual thoughts and desires, and we're not afforded the spaces to express it that most other people are afforded" are two thoughts that should coexist, and are two sides of the same coin.
we're not given the opportunity to exist as people who aren't solely for the sexual gratification of the forces at large and at the same time we're not given the opportunity to have any sexuality of our own
i think ultimately it doesn't matter how you personally feel about these people dying. socially they are our enemies, and socially the rescue effort towards them was a demonstration of the stratification that exists between them and us. at the same time the navies of the capitalist nations mounted massive expeditions in favour of a handful of their ruling class, they also consigned hundreds of impoverished global-south workers to a cold, watery grave. we can all wish that if we were lost at sea, there would be rescue sent for us, but their rescuers are not meant for us. as a human, the idea of any person suffocating in a dark metal tube horrifies me, and I'm sure their families weep. but again, it doesn't matter how I personally feel - this isn't personal. on a societal level, on a *class* level, these people are our enemies. let our enemies commemorate them, and let us work to stop them from killing more of us.
need tumblrinas to understand ‘rainbow capitalism’ doesn’t mean corporations just want our money and that’s why it’s bad. it means the stupid rainbow shirt target is selling for $10 was produced by a string of workplace abuses and grossly underpaid labor and by taking the bait for it because Gay Pride UwU you are only giving them profit to do more of that
uhmmm anyone got like 25€ to spare long story short i need new pants 🙏

Russia is fighting Russia, what a GOOD DAY
That source leaves out the key detail that the Wagner group are NeoNazis.
In fact it also leaves out a lot of the more extreme, blatant red flags Wagner members have been saying that make it clear when they say the Kremlin is compromised by a "clan of oligarchs" they mean Jews and "degenerates." ABC is just posting the more sanitized comments that anti-Putin western audiences would agree with, which is pretty upsetting because again these are literal NeoNazis and no one should be supporting them.
The Wagner group were not helpless soldiers following orders in a war they didn't believe in, they were the group doing some of the worst atrocities who are only mad now because they're losing.
Begging people not to fall for the trap of "hating Putin" meaning someone is good. A fascist imperialist is suffering military defeats which makes him look weak, so his Nazi death squad is trying to seize power. This is a "bite each other's dicks off" situation where we want both sides to lose. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the Wagner group.
i’ve noticed a lot of you keep saying things like “i don’t like men” and “men treat people like me badly” and “men categorically oppress women” and “men should be accountable for their behavior” and “please please for the love of god could men stop raping and killing us,” and like….have you even thought about how that makes men feel? so in the future please shut up. uhh, because, um, that would be more progressive of you, or something. thanks
did you really think this post was being sincere?
marginalized people are allowed to hate their oppressors. get better soon!
it's amazing that several people read this post and unironically walked away like "yeah it's important to prioritize men's feelings above all else, i love chastising women for resenting widespread rape and femicide"
like i don't even know what to say
it actually enrages me that staff touts how progressive and queer-inclusive they are while they’re putting censors and “adult content” warnings on posts that even so much as say the word “homosexuality”, meanwhile the tag-spammed porn posted by bots has been flooding inboxes for the longest time but of course it’s those queers we need to focus our attention on. im tired. aren’t you tired
i stopped posting my san fran historical drag photography series bc i couldn't post a single photo without it being marked as adult content (or flat-out removed) and i refused to label queens/kings just existing as sexual or adult. the way this website frames queerness as perverse and needing of censors despite claiming to be ~the queer website~ is despicable.
ever have the nagging feeling that everyone has been getting dumber recently
skinny disabled people you have a duty to not be fatphobic to disabled fat people or just fatphobic period. do you have any fucking idea how horrible it is to be disabled trying to get a diagnosis and having everything blamed on your weight. do you know how anger inducing it is to have every single (and yes i mean EVERY SINGLE) symptom blamed on weight. the worst part of it is trying to receive community support and seeing so many chronically ill/disabled people push fatphobic rhetoric and be openly hostile to fat disabled people. you arent cripplepunk if youre fatphobic.
got my period 2 days early and i have been throwing up for the past 14 hours. cant keep any food down and i cant afford painkillers or electrolyte-rich liquids for the 11-day headache going strong, so anything anyone has to give in that regard is more than appreciated. any questions on whats going on if thats necessary for me to get the help i need, please feel free to dm or inbox me and ill answer as soon as i can. thanks <3
