It’s peeving when people don’t realize that dogs don’t think like we do
I just read about this in Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer…anthropocentrism. He also mentioned anthropodenial, the meaning of which I’ve sampled from a Discover article:
”: a blindness to the humanlike characteristics of other animals, or the animal-like characteristics of ourselves.”
Really interesting material! I place great meaning in dogs and I think they know it is well-deserved. Scratchies to Matilda :*
and I was unexpectedly reminded of how unfair life is and how all of our best efforts to protect our little lives don’t matter to the universe. zoe and wash were perfect.
tonight is not a good night.
fuckkkk i want them all
I’m really torn between freaking out that I don’t have a job right now or using my savings that I have for the next few months. I planned during the school year for not working but I don’t feel right spending (my own) money on trips and stuff. Rent got higher, but we are planning on cutting our cable. Thankfully, my parents are helping me majorly with my car payment until I get a job again and they are paying for my phone. I really take that for granted most days. I can survive for the summer, but I feel like I can’t exactly live.
If I spend money to take a vacation now, then I won’t have as much to spend later…but the whole point of having money is to enjoy life (to an extent). I think I’ve just been living in the fear of unemployment passed on from media, my family, and pretty much anyone who has graduated or knows that I’m graduating.
It’s barely been two weeks since I finished school, and I’m already losing my mind.
whoa, hagrid just asked “do you understand?” on tv
and ian texted me “i don’t understand”
in the same moment
ahhh
I just wanna be left alone 80% of the time and paid for living
people my age have babies! some are getting married. the moms and dads, not the babies. i don’t know what i’m doing next month, much less for the next 18 or so years. sometimes i think showering is hard; how could my body allow me to reproduce right now? what if i can’t have kids? how do i find this information out? i’ve been working so much to avoid it but i don’t know for sure. i’m not going to be a student after saturday night. i will be again hopefully next fall. why did i have to make such good friends during the last few months of college? now everyone is scattering and i guess that’s good so i can come visit. i don’t think i’ll ever be the one to host others; i just don’t ever think my home is suitable for guests. my sister and i are party goers, not party throwers.
laundry is forever, not diamonds.
if i ever have a photo shoot for just my wedding ring, not me wearing it or anything, but putting it on like a flower stem or a tiny pillow, you can take away my marriage license. also, i really don’t want any part of my wedding festivities to focus at all on my ring. that is not why i’m getting married.

Alice, Balin and I were talking about the way women are treated every single day, and the concessions we have been trained to make for men who overstep boundaries. It’s hard to get through to guys, especially ones I hold closely. I feel like for most young dudes, it helps to put their potential future daughter in troublesome situations. But why does it have to take a non-existent hypothetical child when it’s happening to me right now?
