Ahh Mr.sneky

And tbf usually, like, the queer ppl I know who have dogs actually do train them, but the cishet normie dog owners will literally let them run loose in town "because she's her own person, she likes to!" And I can't help but also see a parallel there between how socially privileged people never have to THINK about what they do or say, and marginalized people have to think twice as hard about everything we do bc of how we are perceived.

Being COMFORTABLE with dogs, or having had dogs as pets in childhood, does NOT mean you "know dogs." By the FUCKING way.

Just like you need to be prepared for your kids to be anyone before you have them, you need to be prepared for a difficult and unpredictable dog. You need to be prepared to spend extra time, energy and money on them. You need to be prepared to do research into new training methods in case yours dont work.

was this about me?

could it have been about me in another universe?

why isnt it about me?

and all the while your HVAC and every other system and appliance in your house is constantly wheezing and heaving to try and keep the temp regulated (bc you cut down all the trees for this stupid fucking house) and to pump in water and to keep gas in your car to drive to Costco for your supplies once a week and trying to keep the moisture regulated and the electric and internet turned on and trying to keep mold down and trying to keep mice and ants out (since again, your developer killed all their natural predators and now your house is just full of food for them!) and caring for all of the appliances that you now need to keep your food and air and shower water temperature-regulated and to keep bugs out and your kids and dogs in, and and and--

and all of this REQUIRES that you have no community. it requires that you be cut off from any meaningful systems of support, so that in your race to prove what an individualist you are and how self-sufficient you can be (with all of these systems and products and spaces and expectations that were fucking invented and imposed on your life by other people), you will be forced to buy things incessantly. endless bills, endless subscriptions, endless maintenance for endless appliances that your house and your children and your dogs endlessly gobble up. buy buy buy buy buy and just keep buying, because as long as you can pay your bills, you have met the minimum requirements for beign Seen As a Human Being! And when you stop being able to pay them -- not if! -- your lovely Christian Super Safe Suburb neighbors will turn on you like sharks on chum.

HOW you can all stand to be surrounded by the noise of dogs barking endlessly bc they are being ignored and not trained, kids screaming endlessly bc they are not being parented, construction machinery screaming endlessly as it destroys what little green space we have left for yet more suburbs that NOBODY CAN FUCKING AFFORD TO LIVE IN!!!!!!! except for the handful of privileged few who have so thoroughly sold their humanity that whatever sacrifices they have to make to maintain the bare minimum seem justified.

And so many of these stupid chucklefucks still arent happy. You ask them WHY they did any of this and they dont know. Because youre supposed to? because that's what everyone they know did? because they dont knwo another way of life and cant see a way out? what a bunch of good little doggies.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO SPEND WITH YOUR DOG YOU CANNOT AFFORD A FUCKING DOG. Spending MONEY ON your dog is not enough, you need to SPEND TIME and TRAIN the stupid fucking thing or else it becomes EVERYONE ELSES PROBLEM.

If you do not have TIME to SPEND with your KIDS, DONT FUCKING HAVE THEM. Being able to afford the mortgage is not fucking enough!!!!!

The Suburbs on the whole are just like... the epitome of self-centered, lazy, unthinking, unfeeling, utter inhumanity. They are antisocial, anti-life, sterile, created by and enforced with violence, AND FOR WHAT? Its a milestone or a marker of "safety" that "everyone" is supposed to want and strive for. AND? FOR? WHAT????
