even before i lived in a place with a massive population of feral cats decimating the wildlife i had read the studies and knew the data said that TNR did not work and we need to be trapping and euthanizing feral cats but now that i’ve lived in a place where there are an enormous number of feral cats it’s like, inconceivable to me that anyone supports TNR, not just for the health of the world but for the sake of the fucking cats

nobody will even acknowledge it not even in most conservation circles. We have a solution to a massive, massive problem that is more humane, cheaper, easier, takes less time, prevents animal suffering, and saves valuable members of our disappearing ecosystem. And nobody is even willing to theoretically acknowledge that it exists outside of a few very small circles.

it works. It works. It is better for the cats. It’s better for the cats. Living in a place where you cannot drive 10 minutes without seeing a new roadkill cat almost every single day really makes you think about how much suffering could have been prevented if we just dealt with the problem we have created. It’s not a pleasant way to go, being hit by a car. Or being ripped apart by a predator, or eating a poison, or starving to death, of dying of an infection, or an illness, or any of the hundred thousand ways an animal in the wild passes without human intervention. Euthanasia is simply falling asleep. It is fucking wild to me that saying you think we should take responsibility for our mistakes and ensure that cats fall asleep peacefully instead of capturing them and then hurling them back out into the world SPECIFICALLY in order to allow them to die in agony makes people treat you like a fucking serial killer.

And if you don’t care about cats dying in agony do you care about the world around you? There’s a species of bird we only know ever existed because someone’s cat brought home our only example. That’s horrific. We’ve lost so much biodiversity because we simply won’t listen to the research, which again, has proven that TNR is not effective.

a peaceful death is not the worst thing that could happen to an animal.

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.  

#give us the middle-aged gender fluid Chinese protagonist that we can all relate to and project on (via @mr-and-mr-pavus)

The fact that one of these moves is significantly more difficult for me than the other two at least tells me which nerve is probably the most fucked up

men have such one dimensional fantasies it makes porn so boring. there is a whole world of sensuality that doesn't even get touched on in porn because most porn caters to fantasies that don't allow for any personhood on the part of women or femininity. and anti-porn feminists were so misguided and i think honestly very misogynistic because all they did was throw hoes under the bus and honestly cower in fear of their own sexualities in my opinion. if we made porn in a way that did its best not to cater to patriarchy it could be incredible. but that would take a lot of money being in the hands of queer people and women who have decentered men. im so fucking bored and i want to have fun. in the sex work industry everyone has to dumb down their sexuality just because the source of money is boring ass loser men with fragile egos. even the subs are fragile as fuck.

i wish there was some kind of picture featuring a wolf and a lamb/bunny and it would be some sort of metaphore. like i just think it would be badass but i,m probably alone in this niche. nobody likes this

im probably fucked in the head
