PSA!!! Chicks and bunnies are not Easter presents. Choose stuffed animals, chocolates or Peeps instead!
Shelters become overrun with bunnies in the months following easter. They are not an easy pet to care for properly. It requires time, money, and a commitment to an animal that doesnât always care that you want to play or snuggle. If youâre up for it they are great Companions (not toys or stuffed animals) and are well worth the effort.

Instant revenge.
Somebodyâs ass is walking from now on.
yknow how you want to like female characters and not immediately hate them but at the same time theyâre often written by those men that have a limited understanding of women as people and itâs really hard to like a character that is less meant to be a person and more of a wanking hand puppet intended for the male gaze
the flip side is when weâre supposed to dislike a female character but sheâs obviously a straw-woman the writerâs using to work out some unresolved issues he has with an ex or his mom or an unrequited crush so you actually kind of like her out of spite (especially when the narrative insists sheâs terrible but the real person sheâs based on was wholly reasonable and the writer canât conceal that)
Bonus points when the dude weâre supposed to think sheâs such a harpy for being hostile toward is just an endless parade of predatory red flags, but the narrative never acknowledges it due to the writerâs evident honest belief that thatâs just how you interact with women.
Yeah thatâs why they all died at 30 because they were so unhealthy but cool
Pretty sure it was the plague not heart disease.
Pretty sure it was the Plague, childbirth, food spoiling, maltreated infections, smallpox, pneumonia, and/or generally unsanitary living conditions (such as dumping sewage and waste in the streets) and not health conditions caused by excess body fat.
Not to mention that the Renaissance standard of female beauty being plumpness and full-figured forms came from the fact that it was a status symbol. Plump, pale, full-figured women were wealthy women who didnât have to spend their days in hard labor or raising children (or both) and stood a better chance of bearing healthy babies than commoner women did.
Cultural âOh Snapâ I hate it so much when people pull out the âunhealthyâ excuse for having a reason to body shame a person.
âWomen died young in the 1700s because they were fatâ is an amazingly ignorant statement
Fun fact, the main reason the average life span is 35 is because infant mortality was so high. If you made it past age 10 you generally survived until 70, but because 40% of the people born were dying before age one the âaverageâ is low. So actually, the women in these paintings lived relatively long lives. (Being born into wealth also increased your chances for survival)
Oh my god they thought they were dying because they were kinda fat oh my goddddd oh my god oh my god oh my god deadhoneybadger just delete.
Iâm glad somebody mentioned the infant mortality rate, because so many young girls were forced to go through with pregnancies.
While itâs true that a lot of telemarketers are just folks trying to make ends meet, you still shouldnât feel bad about hanging up on them in mid-sentence.
Many telemarketers arenât actually allowed to end a call without making a sale; if they did so voluntarily, theyâd be fired. By corporate edict, that call was only ever going to end in one of two ways: with you buying something, or with you hanging up on them. Thereâs no point trying to end the conversation politely because the script theyâre working off of demands that they ignore and obstruct any attempt to do so - and they will be punished for failing to follow it.
You hanging up on them is literally the only way for them to get out of a call thatâs not going anywhere, so you might as well get it over with. Youâre actually doing them a favour.
Yes.
This is also an instance of a more general principle: notice when people are weaponizing social norms, and react by refusing to play the game.
Easy mode for this is the people on the street with pamphlets. Theyâll weaponize social norms in an attempt to make you stop and talk to them. One script I see, for instance:
ACTIVIST: Hi! Excuse me, are you a student here?
PASSER-BY: âyes, I am.
ACTIVIST: Do you care about the ethical treatment of minorities on campus?
PASSER-BY: âŚ.um, yes, butâŚ
ACTIVIST: Were you aware that 90% of statistics about minorities are made up on the spot to serve as examples in tumblr posts?
PASSER-BY: âŚno, I wasnât, but I really have toâŚ
ACTIVIST: Hereâs what our organization does to fight that!
âŚand so forth.
The trick here, of course, is that the first question is one which itâs socially unacceptable to avoid answering. If the activist opens with âwould you like to help save a photogenic animal today?â you can say âno thank you.â If they open with âdo you care about the whales?â you can grit your teeth and say ânope.â
But how do you respond to âare you a student hereâ? Itâs a yes or no question, to which you definitely know the answer, so you canât mumble something about not knowing. And itâs not explicitly related to their cause, so you canât just automatically say ânot today thanks.â (If you try either of those, theyâll call you on it â âwhat, youâre not a student today?â)
Ignoring them, or saying âthatâs none of your businessâ or âleave me alone,â is a violation of social norms, and means you look like a jerk, because they asked a question thatâs well within the realm of whatâs socially permissible. So if youâre playing by social norms, you have to answer.
And then, once youâve answered, youâre engaged in conversation with them. Itâs an egregious violation of social norms to walk away from a conversation without going through the normal conversation-ending procedures. And they of course will not participate in those. So now youâre trapped, where you would have been free under social norms to walk past someone shouting at you about statistics if you hadnât yet engaged with them.
The only way to escape these situations is to notice them and step outside the social game. This is hard; you will get intense this-is-awkward, I-am-being-awful-and-mean feedback from your brain, which has noticed you are violating the rules and would like you to stop. But walking away without saying anything, or saying âI donât want to talk right now,â is in fact the correct thing to do here.
And thatâs easy mode. People selling something play this game blatantly. Hard mode is people who play it expertly, within society, so that you have to go along with what they want or be forced into violating social norms. (And people will go along with a lot rather than violate social norms.) Friends who ask you for things in a way that makes it awkward to refuse. Family members who treat you badly but do it in a way contrived so that any complaint will constitute you being rude. In the really extreme cases, the same dynamic shows up in abusive relationships. Itâs the adult version of an abuser convincing a kid heâll get in trouble if he tells his parents.
So this is, IMO, a really important skill to learn and to deploy properly. Social norms are great, I love doing the dance of social convention, itâs lovely and satisfying, but if your partner keeps trying to stab you with a poisoned dagger, maybe itâs time to stop dancing. Even if that looks weird in the middle of the dance floor.
This is something I never thought needed to be broken down before, but once you did it helped make a lot of things clear. Like, I already knew that sales people are pushy and try to rope you into conversations that are difficult to terminate, but describing the reasons why those conversations feel so awkward to leave abruptly was super enlightening.
Well said.
One other reason that people feel uncomfortable breaking social norms is the fear of retaliation. This is one that the face-to-face marketers tend to play on more than the telemarketers.
Thereâs a reason that chuggers (âcharity muggersâ) frequently pick on women - female-socialised people find it harder to say ânoâ and walk away from a social interaction. Some of this may be due to fear of retaliation. Lots of situations in which âa stranger forces you into weird public engagementâ can escalate horribly, so itâs often easier to just mumble along with them and contrive an escape. Rejection (of the chugger/catcaller/marketer) is something that sometimes leads to retaliation, so depending on your experiences you might find yourself being afraid to âjust walk away.â
I have had two experiences where chuggers caught me in public and reacted badly to my flat rejections. They were both men chugging for Greenpeace, and I actually complained to the organisation about them. Because theyâre playing on social norms as well, using aspects of themselves in the marketing performance, they can get waaay too invested and in-character, and treat it as a social/sexual rejection, apparently. One of them actually lost his head and chased me down the street, shouting.
Anyway the best way I found to stop both of them was to stand at bay and scream âSTOP HARASSING MEâ, which created such public amazement among the other people on the sidewalk that the chuggers had to put their hands up and back away.
With the chasing-guy he sort of did a defeated primal scream and went back to his pitch, presumably having come back to his senses. but the other guy just raised his eyebrows like âhey WOW fair enoughâ so it worked out okay.
Basically even if there is retaliation, just remember that THEY STARTED IT and THEY MADE IT WEIRD.
Your number one script for the very first response is, âSorry, Iâm late, canât talk.â And keep walking.
Oh absolutely. In the cases of the two Greenpeace chuggers I had initially flatly rejected and kept walking with a murderous pace; itâs not like I havenât lived in cities. But the chasing-guy then followed me and touched my shoulder to stop me (departing wildly from the chugger script - theyâre supposed to leave you alone if you say no) so I told him he was now harrassing me, which made him escalate. The other guy was more casual, but he still got in front of me and blocked me with his body. Both of these are seriously inappropriate, which is why I literally stopped and called them out, then reported them to Greenpeace.
The âfear of retaliationâ is an incredibly important aspect of the social-awkwardness part of rejection, though. So I think itâs important to model how that can happen in aggressive-marketing situations. In fact, you have more power with marketers than when faced with a catcaller; you can get marketers fired for it, because there are rules about how marketing behavior is supposed to happen.
I know exactly what youâre saying, so I apologise for riffing on it, but Iâm getting notes/activity thatâs all bright and chipper and reccomennding doing the murderwalk to âsimply not have the trouble in the first placeâ as if this is New Information.
And I think itâs a little unhelpful for people to be told âWell, just say ânoâ and you wonât get into escalating situationsâ because thatâs patently untrue, and doesnât work in any sphere of life where you actually need it. And then when it does escalate, it automatically becomes a situation where âsaying no and walking wayâ is ineffective because youâre already past that point. And it is deeply irritating for people who do end up having trouble: âUhh why didnât you practice the magic murder-walk ⢠that makes people leave you alone? (insert gif of the lady doing the murderwalk) I do that and nobodyâs EVER committted crimes against me, you should be more like me.â And itâs like, uhhhh well yes the murderwalk is great for walking past the drunk guy in the student hub, but when every pissed-off commuter in London is literally doing that at all times ANYWAY, then statistically a trained lancer in the Chugger Pack in a tube station Marketing Gauntlet is going to go for murderwalkers anyway, because they gotta make rent, and sometimes youâll be one of them? Itâs an evolutionary arms race. it doesnât REALLY matter how you always walk past importunate homeless people while thinking about murdering Captain America, or whatever. You donât get paid to do that, and other people DO get trained and paid to break into your personal bubble and sell things to you.
In conclusion: I think most people have, in fact, heard of the word ânoâ. Thus, telling them to âjust use itâ is not always that helpful (if you really want to help people). Itâs like saying âif someone touches you, then do karate on them.â And if anyone has questions, then itâs like answering âjust do karate! Do five karates!â and if it doesnât work then itâs like saying âwell, itâs because you didnât do SEVEN karates.â
Iâm not mad and everyone is absolutely right, itâs just that it can be true that âmurderwalkingâ or âhanging upâ or âsaying no and walking awayâ is helpful, BUT ALSO, when that doesnât work, thatâs what the post is about - why it doesnât work, and what happens next.
watching an actress in full makeup pretend to wash her face and then pat dry her still fully contoured cheeks for an acne wash commercial
when i was 13 i had no idea what make up looked like on. media literacy is important
I especially like the makeup remover ads where she takes off her lipstick, to reveal lighter lipstick underneath.
or the commercials for razors with women shaving their already baby smooth, waxed legs

Disabled Person:Â âI canât do this.â
Abled Person:Â âYes you can.â
Disabled Person:Â âActually, no I canât. I wasnât putting myself down. I was just stating a fact. Everyone has some things that theyâre able to do and some things that theyâre not. This just happens to be something that Iâm not able to do. Maybe thereâs something similar that I can do but not exactly this. Maybe it doesnât come natural to me but I can do it if you explain in detail how. By placing a high importance on one particular skill, youâre the one putting me down. Iâm well aware that the only reason youâre defaulting to âyes you canâ is because you expect it to be a skill that everyone naturally has, which means youâre implying that there must be something wrong with me if Iâm not able to do it.â
Abled Person: âUh ⌠Yes you can.â
Disabled Person: (gets angry)Â âNo I canât! You just ignored everything I said!â
Abled Person:Â âGeez! Why do you get mad so easily? I was just trying to help.â
