A large part of housecat vocalisation toward humans isn’t goal-directed communication, but rather, affiliative signaling: a simple call-and-response protocol which establishes that the participants are part of the same social unit. Amongst themselves, most housecat affiliative signaling is non-vocal, but humans aren’t really physiologically equipped to respond to such signalling in a feline fashion, and cats, well, they’re adaptable.
Which is to say that when your cat yells, and you yell back, so the cat yells again, and so forth, what you’re really saying to each other is “hiiiiii~”.

When thinking about life, remember this:
No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of anxiety can change the future.

Y’all know damn well ain’t nothing changed here for Black Americans. It evolves with the times. Modern-day lynchings and all. It’s not just overt racism like back then, but covert racism to boot. Bill called it white supremacy. I call it white terrorism. Ain’t nothing supreme about it.
Anyone involved in the Civil Rights movement for the right reasons had an FBI file on them. I wonder how deep his was smh.
Rest easy, Bill Russell (1934-2022) 🕊❤️

One of the biggest things that I think the Barbie movie tries to address is that feminism is not just for or about women. Gender issues affect all of us, the patriarchy affects all of us, and I think the Barbie movie gets that.
Conservatives: “The Barbie movie is anti-men!”
