dense, neutron star of a man. His weight fluctuates based off of the amount of sun hes been exposed to, and the amount of water ingested, so a very healthy kryptonian easily weighs around 350-400 lbs/ 158-181 kgs. Martha quickly traded in her lawn chairs for sturdy, solid wood, rocking chairs for the front porch as he got older, but Clark seems to be drawn to the flimsy lawn chairs like a moth to a flame.

(Hes prone to shouting for his Ma or Pa when hes scared awake, old habit hes never broke out of lol)

Bonus: a regular day for Bruce

“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”

How do some people think atsushi is just some uwu innocent soft boy when he's literally so salty

Do they not see this

[tourettesdog]

I am begging people to be normal about completed fics, and in particular one shots.

I am begging people to stop demanding more from authors, and insisting that one shots need to be longer or have sequels.

I don't think yall understand how many fanfic authors are one more "where's the rest of it?" comment away from throwing out any plans they might have had to continue an idea.

Unless an author like specifically says they might write more for an idea, just-- assume something marked as completed is complete, and respect it as it stands, please.

it's cool they can be used for working but they don't have to work to have the right to exist!!!!!!!!!!

What even.

They are definitely NOT only for rich people. There are a lot of people in the country who have a horse, just a small plot of land, enough for a couple horses. People enjoy horses. They are like any pet; perhaps a bit more expensive

BUT you can afford a horse if you have just a little extra. You dont have to keep your horse at some fancy stable; you can keep one for pasture boars for $200/month. Or you can lease a horse for $100. Those are the prices I have seen around here.

You can get a horse for $500.

You could also find s friend or family member willing to keep your horse at their place free of charge.

That's what I did. We were definitely NOT rich. I got my horse for $600 (my parents did when i was 11) then my grandparents kept her at their farm. We went there almost every weekend. We actually got 2 for 1 bc the horse was pregnant. It was a pretty good deal. 2 horses for $600 then keep them for free. Nor everyone everyone do this. But it can be done. It shows horses aren't just for rich people-- people with huge ranches or people people live in the city and keep their horse at a stable for $1000/month.

You can get your tack used.

Horses are a great form of recreation and riding can help you get out of the city and be in nature. You can't underestimate how good that is for mental health.

Also horses are people. They have their own personalities. You can form a relationship with them just like with a dog or cat. With the added dimension you get to ride them.

You haven't lived till you've galloped through an open field

I understand the stereotype of rich horse people but it's kind of gotten insane that anyone with a horse is now automatically seen as a landed gentry bourgeois so much so that people are straight up calling horses bourgeois creatures and calling for their ABOLISHMENT and even extinction like wtf is wrong with you. Don't let the era of the automobile erase the horses history as a beast of burden for the working class and farmers. Horses belong to the proletariat just as much if not more than the role of rich person's plaything.

Happy International Dog Puppet Day!

I invented this holiday as an excuse to draw Gromit and Rowlf hanging out

[21stc3nturyd1gitalb0y]

a lot of you got a kick out of my service dog’s battle jacket, so i thought i’d share some more pictures of the man himself.

i know people have a lot of stereotypes about what service dogs and their handlers are “supposed” to look like, and it confuses people to see a young, seemingly able bodied punk rocker with a service dog.

but i share this to say, that if you as a disabled person don’t see a life for yourself, you can create one. when i started to realize i was disabled almost 10 years ago, i certainly didn’t imagine this is where i’d be now. in fact, i didn’t even plan to making it to this point.

but a diagnosis doesn’t have to mean the end of the world. sometimes your world is just beginning. some people are of the belief that everything happens for a reason. me, not so much. i’ll never be grateful for the suffering i experienced in this world, but i will always, always be glad i chose to stay in it.

Chuuya had managed to hide that (very embarrassing) fear of lightning for all those years through careful movement planning, dubious self-control and luck. Today is probably not the day he'll talk about it, but lucky for him, he wasn't the only one here who would have liked to keep more stuff to himself.

[orcinus-veterinarius]

I say this with all the gentleness in my heart. If you know you cannot make the decision to euthanize, you are not ready for pet ownership.

[canisalbus]

Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me hanging on

Wolverine's reaction when Deadpool got Nicepool killed is one of the funniest moments to me. He knew that Deadpool could fuck things up but this was so huge that even Wolverine couldn't believe that just happened

[thebearme]

the random intrusive thoughts hit hard
