woke up and immediately checked the news to make sure they hadn't caught him

#you don't become the ceo of a major national insurance company #known for corruption and profit-worshipping ruthlessness #without making a whole lot of very deliberate choices about how little value human lives have to you #you don't get to where this man was by accident #and you don't become that person without being an asshole of the highest order #you can't make me feel sad for this piece of shit #i didn't kill him and i wouldn't have killed him #i'm not sorry someone else did (via @absentlyabbie)

seeing a lot of people suggest that healthcare CEOs should go into hiding or employ more private security and i could not possibly disagree more. you can't live the rest of your life in fear. i think it's imperative that they get back to work, in person at least 3 days a week at the headquarters address listed on their company's website.

sorry for romanticising the mundane. i have little else

they probably cant love me back in a human or even mammalian sense, but my goldfish with their smooth pea-sized brain have learned to trust that i will make them better when they are sick. i feel like crying about this often

Maybe Princess the tarantula never had anything resembling what we as humans know as emotions, but she still came out of her burrow and up to the glass when we’d talk to her and used to stare at the drawing I’d tape to her terrarium. Maybe she couldn’t even comprehend what we were, but she knew we were there to take care of her. And even if she never showed that sort of curiosity or trust we’d still love her.

Idk if Munchie the praying mantis felt love for me, but I do know he trusted me enough to climb onto my hand when offered and was comfortable with allowing me to carry him places despite me being absolutely massive in comparison to him. So that's close enough in my book.

we developed powerful teeth and jaws to rend the flesh of the devious sourdough loaf

What if water didn't have surface tension and whenever you spilled some, the whole floor of your entire apartment was covered in a 2 micrometer deep puddle

you've taught me to count blessings I didn't know were mine

mreow. meow. hey. mreow. hey. hey. mmeow. hey. dude fucking look at me. hey. mmmeow
