I don’t know about human surgeons, but that’s a suture pattern I use to close skin all the time and you can see why.

I forgot vets existed for a moment and that comment made me wonder what Cryptid had gotten a doctorate and was performing surgery.

No they love it

Do you know if they love or hate them, @why-animals-do-the-thing?

This is why it’s so important not to anthropomorphize your pets and actually take the time to learn THEIR body language and natural behaviors.

And if y'all take the time to learn this, you’ll find most dogs have their own ways of showing affection that are equivalent to hugs. My dog doesn’t like to be held tight but she does come up beside you and press her head against your body and lean against you and that’s basically her version of a hug. She’s nervous and doesn’t like to be forced into any interaction but she will sometimes come and snuggle her head in my lap just because she wants to. And if you force interactions and hugs and cuddling with your pet, you’ll miss out on those particular shows of affection that they offer on their own which are way way more special than a forced hug.

A long time ago I took a course on the sociology of marriage and my professor said “With compromise, you both lose. As a couple, you must collaborate on the best possible outcome.” Ever since, I never prioritize compromise in a relationship, only collaboration.

this seems like a great concept and all but. what does it actually mean?

And with this I have learned what i always thought of as compromise was in fact collaboration

the new batch of love for john mulaney here on tumblr has got me thinking how critical costume design is once again. john mulaney is a good comedian, but so much of his power comes from how his humor plays off how he’s dressed. we don’t expect a man dressed like a 1960s news announcer, all clean scrubbed and tight-wound professional, to describe in minute detail the visit where a doctor shoved a hand up his ass. imagine any iconic john mulaney set but given in jeans and a t-shirt, and is it as funny? i don’t think so. his humor spreads like wildfire on this website because the image of a man in a buttoned-up shirt and a tie and slicked back hair with fairly narrow lapels on his three-piece suit is fucking hysterical when paired with “years later I’d be in college about to go down on some rockin’ twink and i’d be like what would leonard bernstein do”

well I do recall a comedian telling about how he accidentally joined the russian mafia on a school trip in college, and this was made more believable by the fact that he was shirtless with a beer belly while telling this story

Frick thank you so much

I can’t tell if this cat is happy or angry but it is a lot of that thing

The back of a cat’s back just before their tail is typically an erogenous zone, that is to say it has a very heightened sensitivity for stimuli. In this case the cat is probably feeling a lot of different feelings but anger is not one of them. It is probably in fact very happy.

Cats ARE liquids!

These make me so happy

This entire book looks like someone’s fever dream brought to life through some dark pact with an eldritch being… and I love it.
