i dont think people understand this but like. yeah poorly bred animals like pugs and persains have a lotta health issues nd people who breed em are terrible… but the animals still deserve a home. they still deserve love and care and cherishment. theyre still living things with feelings. yeah dont get em from breeders, but the ones that are living on the streets and in pounds deserve love. dont just abandon em bc ur edgy woke ass is like “ugh poor things dont need to exist!!();)” we get it. but adopt em and love em and help em in the meantime. they didnt ask to be here.
I live my life under the basic principle that people know their minds, bodies, genders, and orientations better than I do so I just take them at their word when they say they are a thing.
“But people could be faking for-” I don’t care.I would rather show someone a kindness they don’t need than not show them one they do.
Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.
also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.
|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.
Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.
I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.
Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.
As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:
- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance
- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard
- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry
- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry
- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry
- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.
Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.
i am an idiot sometimes but sometimes i am an idiot to be funny you know? for the joke. and i want people to know the difference. sometimes my actions are purposeful. sometimes i think. i want you to know that. even when i am just being a regular idiot i choose to say things knowing i am an idiot. i am the chooser of my own fate. i am the god of my own reality.
i can love fictional characters despite not liking every aspect of how they were written, and i will love fictional characters despite the flaws in their creation being dealbreakers for other people, and no one can stop me from loving the shit out of the fictional characters that i choose to love and often will actually love harder in the face of opposition
once experts in their fields who try to fill the emptiness and surplus of time in their lives with their personal relationships and a less challenging career but constantly feel a sense of gnawing lack of purpose that they feel guilty for acknowledging
Language is so neat and I’m such a sucker for fics that have Julian learning Kardassi while on the station or Julian being the only one to correctly pronounce Garak’s name or, god forbid, Garak learning ARABIC-
