"pit bulls are ontologically evil because they were originally bred to attack and kill other living things. thankfully, the breed i own, the akita, was never used for anything like th-" *flips through a breed history book* "oh. oh no."
"no guys you don't get it my dog is totally different from the evil nefarious shitbull"
#a better example would be how belgian malinois and gsds are routinely bred specifically to bite people#and yet there is very little fear mongering surrounding them
I think that really gets to the racism at the heart of so much pitbull hatred. GSDs and malinois have an image (currently)* associated more with the military and cops. so even though GSDs have very similar bite rates, bite force, and aggression compared to pits -- even outranking them slightly on several of those metrics -- their ferocity is seen as noble and as a tool against 'bad' people.
meanwhile pits are associated with 'bad' people, namely Black and Hispanic men in urban (read: poorer) areas.
that fear of the stereotypical pitbull owner seems to be the biggest driver of the very kneejerk hatred that some people hold. they get really testy when you point out that their reaction seems racist, though. they've all seen or heard about the biggest meanest scariest pit in the world, and the fact that they've never been intimidated by a big mean scary GSD police dog is plenty of proof to them. doesn't matter that police dogs are disproportionately used on Black boys, that's apparently not relevant when discussing dog bites or their personal perception of the issue.
(* GSDs were initially also associated with 'gangsters' and seen as very dangerous. their image was reformed by Nazis. they were used extensively by Nazis and that was a positive for a lot of people and now they're The Police Dog.)
yes exactly
even when you point people to harrowing articles like this one that detail just how devastating an attack from a police dog can be and how the cops often have little to no control over their dogs, it gets shrugged off. and i think we know why that is.
I cant help but notice that sites like reddit, which are notorious for being extremely hostile towards pit bulls to the point where you get death threats for posting even an innocuous photo of one, seems to be impressed by this footage of a police dog chasing down and biting a man
as always, i think bronwen dickey said it best
so cutes
I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby
English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking shit about the neighbor's son
I explained the “x before gta6” meme to my immigrant father and he, in turn, explained to me how back in his day in Romania, they had the same type of joke, except instead of it being gta6, it was about the imminent death of a singer named Gică Petrescu, who everyone was continuously shocked by because he refused to die. Every time a momentous event happened people would say, in essence: “This happened and Gică Petrescu hasn’t even died yet?!?”
So. He understood the gta6 meme immediately because they apparently had the same thing in Romania when he was young, except way, way more morbid
OP are you telling me we got the death of Gică Petrescu before we got gta6
Didn’t anticipate one of the bonuses of going to a drag show in a smaller more conservative town would be getting to see a bro who clearly wandered into the wrong part of the bar by mistake experience what looked to be a transcendent awakening upon seeing his first drag show.
On of the queens halfway through the show, “Honey, are you straight?”
This man, in a strangled voice, “I don’t know”
We love the character development

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to
unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school
things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)
how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem
what common file types are
some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)
how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private
how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)
what a cookie actually is
internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl
basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)
common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)
as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on
vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)
how to not get a virus while pirating something
what a temporary email is and when to use one
red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)
what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls
ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous
a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps
a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)
some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself
Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.
USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.
This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:
ActionAid India
SEEDS India
GlobalGiving
Raise India (Project Tapan)

I think a lot about the architecture ideas drawn by Étienne-Louis Boullée
They're sketches from the 1780s and they look like the end of the fucking universe
There are some animals you only see in pictures with very little to compare its size to that make you go into cardiac arrest once you find out how big/small they actually are
This shouldn't be physically possible. Herons should not be this small

Yeah, it's time to get this post out again
[ID 1: tweet by alien @/alienincrisis that reads: "the worst part about wasting your life is how comfortable it becomes". the quote retweet by Chris Oldman @/AlsikkanTV reads: "i don't think it's possible to waste your life actually. you can miss reaching a potential you had hoped for but it's never a waste to live.
ID 2: tags that read: "#can a frog waste its life? can a kittycat or a whale shark waste its life #humans is animals". end ID.]
someone on reddit shared texts of her and her husband's exclusive english dialect and it's beautiful
a linguist is analyzing it
I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.
Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.
Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.
It can not always be about your preferred topic.
You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.

Help us stay fed!
Our food stamps ran out a few days ago and our refill is on the 4th of next month, but we're going to be getting less than half of what we were getting before (we used to get over $700 in EBT to feed three people and next month they're only giving us around $300)
I'll be refreshing this goal as needed throughout July since this is gonna be a rough month for keeping fed.

as usual, EVERYTHING HELPS! that includes sharing and reblogging this post!
