The ancient greeks really had graves for dogs. And they carved stuff on the stone like “carrying you here, I now feel as much grief as I felt joy when I carried you home” and “you never barked without reason, but now you are silent”. The human urge to tell a story spans centuries and millennia, and the loss of a really good dog makes you want to tell people - even people centuries in the future, who will never know your name - that there once was a dog who was a very good girl, but now she no longer is and you aren’t sure what to do with all this sorrow.

The real joke is that she’s the one finding it, not the government.

She purposely does this, y’all. I have been fascinated by her for years and she has purposely crafted this and people reacting like this is her intention. She is a master. Like, how many country artists can get away with openly being a queer ally and funding AIDS research and COVID research and all this other stuff and yet still I defy you to find a person–no matter how conservative–who will say anything worse than ‘she’s trashy’ to you–but it can’t even insult her because she says she’s trashy!! She is so good at this y’all. A master at the whole concept of reclaiming and owning one’s image. All hail Dolly.

An American icon. A hero.

Please always assume at least one brain cell is always thinking about Dolly

ALL THESE CATS ARE LITERALLY: “bitch what the fuck” LAHSLAJSOS

These cats all passed the mirror test and I think that’s impressive

i’m?????????????? they recognise themselves and their owner well enough to check back on their face???

My favorite are the ones that look up slowly as if they were in a horror movie

Cats (2019)

literally ALL of these cats just revealed that not only do they recognize a separate moving image as themselves, but that they recognize their owner AND their placement in space which is actually a Big Fucking Deal and I hope that animal behaviorologists are going nuts over this

the second one cracks me up every time, the slow, horrified side eye to make sure that their person is still a person… I mean, they’re all great (especially the one who tackle hugs a face in concern) and all display them passing the mirror test (impressive, as I heard cats aren’t supposed to be able to do so- clearly incorrect) but the CLEARLY HORRIFIED gray and white cat looking to slowly to the side- put THAT shit in a horror movie and I’d watch it twice

THE LAST ONE TURNING AWAY LIKE “MAMA MAKE IT GO AWAY” CJFKDK

The SECOND ONES HORROR MOVIE GLANCE IS SENDING ME AXJJJJKKK
