we left that change somewhere behind

you tell a bitch to keep their cat indoors and suddenly their town is the first in the world to have eradicated every viral, bacterial and parasitic disease, they invented completely harmless cars, dogs and predators dont exist either but somehow the native songbird population is fine since the cats in this place have lost the hunting instinct, there's no pollutants or toxic plants and human cruelty has ceased to exist. and mr mittens has a chip in his brain that will explode if he doesnt go outside 10 hours of the day

The really tricky part is that, no matter your viewpoint, there is no outcome where your outdoor cat isn’t negatively impacting the ecosystem. Even if you take good care of them otherwise, even if your area is ‘safe’, even if they’re a working cat.

why is "bleedout spot" such a meme suddenly? you are not going to have a noble violent death, go work on being a useful person who is alive

but we know why it is, it is because in the fantasy one performs a single noble action followed by relief from all responsibility, hopefully acquiring hallowed glory in the hearts of others in the process, as opposed to a lifetime of actual service and responsibility, in which there is constant action and possibly much failure, all for little or no glory

see also, "I don't want to be useful, I want to be rewarded for violence"

everything you see on tumblr is biased towards the perspectives of the types of people who post a lot on tumblr. this is essential to remember

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

I hate that universal/disney/etc parks get all the cool themed and immersive restaurants behind a paywall and then out in the wild there’s a “lord of the rings themed cafe experience!” and there’s like. a few maps of the shire on the wall. maybe a menu option called ‘bilbo’s breakfast’

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.
