One of the reasons I like to treat myself to something nice when I'm having a hard time, beyond the obvious morale boost, is that I find it's a lot easier to acknowledge when I'm struggling if I then get a tasty treat about it

hi!! what was the name of that dog trainer(s?) you mentioned watching before getting hugo? i'm considering a puppy and want to be able to train this little dude like a boss TIA :]
omg I was watching McCann Dogs!! I watched so so so much of their training vids before bringing Hugo home + during his puppyhood and it helped so much. these are some of the ones that I really Studied early on to give me a blueprint of how to start from ground zero w my boy
#it was good to have goalposts for the first couple months#and the ones where they take you through the first day of bringing a puppy home were amazingly helpful#they're also the reason why i was able to crate train hugo#sergle answers#it is nice to have it broken down bc it feels like there's so much to learn but when they're babies you're really doing like#very foundational skills and it's lots of simple repetition and it's super rewarding#having them learn their response to name and learning what Yes means (or the clicker if you do clicker training)#bc if they know their name and they know Yes then learning everything else is easier#it feels really really good to teach all the skills w positive reinforcement

take this minute...
...to remind yourself of your why.
why do certain things matter to you? why do you continue to make efforts even when it's tough to keep going sometimes? why do you want to do, what you want to do?
you why is what drives you. keep it close. remind yourself of it every now and then. it's a core part of you ✨

Shiv does not know a single goddamn thing about Greg if she thinks threatening him is the way to go?? like Greg will not fucking listen if he’s threatened, but if you are kind to him or promise support then he’ll do whatever you want. Greg stopped being team Ken in season three because Kendall stopped being nice to him. his grandpa threatened to take away his inheritance so Greg stayed with Fun Uncle Logan. Tom promised to look after Greg and kept that promise, Tom took Greg with him in season 3, Tom takes care of Greg, so obviously Greg is going to stay Team Tom and some empty threats aren’t going to get him to switch sides. Shiv tried to catch Greg with vinegar instead of honey and that’s why he fucked her over lol
#succession spoilers#succession season 4#tomgreg#like??? greg is a little dog who responds to positive reinforcement#shiv who do you think you’re talking to#ALSO when marcia was nice to him at the funeral and he just cling to her after that#greg is a sucker for people who are nice to him and that’s like his biggest character trait#it’s why he keeps coming back to tom and shiv needed a hell of an offer to get greg to give that up#but she was freaking out so she didn’t have one and all she knows how to do is play offense

Just to clarify, because I don't think some of y'all fucking get it.
If you insert yourself into a conversation. Just to say that you think something is gross. When the conversation is about liking that thing and being had by people who do like that thing.
Then you cannot be mad when they tell you to go fuck yourself.
I see WAY too many people, especially little fancops, yeeting themselves into discussions about stuff just so they can whine about how gross something is, how they don't like it- contributing nothing to substance to the conversation. And then they COMPLAIN about how unfair and rude people are when they are told (rightly) to fuck off and shut up.
If the only reason you are inserting yourself into a discussion, or commenting on a post, is to talk about how much you hate the thing being discussed/ how gross you think people who like that are.
Then you CANNOT BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU ARE TOLD TO TAKE A LONG WALK OFF A SHORT DICK!
#discourse#seriously this isn't hard kids#if you have nothing positive to contribute then don't fucking contribute#you have PLENTY of spaces to bitch and moan about what you don't like#you aren't fucking fooling anyone#we KNOW the reason you guys do this shit is so you can reinforce your view#that all people who like those things you don't like are rude and gross and awful#when what ACTUALLY happens#is people are minding their own damn business#and then you come along and shove your nose in and make bitchy comments#just so you can complain about how you were told to shut up#when you never should have been talking there in the first place

#I've read some of you talking about your irls reaching out#Positive and negative thinga#And I'm... In the middle#I haven't hidden my love for 1D since it took over my life 3 years ago#So the people that know me know this about me#Granted they probably know more about Louis but still#One of my closest friends was a bit insensitive at first and I just couldn't reply#She then sort of came through and has been checking in#I don't think she realized how much it mattered to me#Then I told my best friend who's still back home#I also don't think she understood how important they are to me#She hasn't checked in again but she has sooo much shit on her plate that I don't even blame her although it still... A little bit#But I'm also like trying not to think they actually knew how seriously important these bois are to me#Anyway. Another friend... I saw him right after I found so I was still very much in shock and he knows about them and my deep connection#Saw him the next day he hugged me and asked me how I was and this was after the shock wore off and I had cried all night#I almost broke down again... But he hasn't checked in again and I'm a bit sad about it#Someone I met briefly in the summer and got to talking about the bois reached out and asked and I was glad they did#My sister has been checking in which has been very nice#Again... Idk... I don't need them to understand or be all over me asking or anything#It's just... Yeah.#And it just reinforces my gratitude for this space and the friends I've made the past couple of years#I have no idea where I'd be if I didn't have this and you all#But then again... The biggest reason I'm still in this community is the people I've met#So of course I would always have you here#Understanding something that outsiders could never#It's like trying to explain why Louis is so important to me... If you don't feel you won't get it#Rambles ramble#My eyes hurt

So, I saw @kedreeva last week when she was on vacation and we had lunch together (yay us, I always love hanging out with the wife)
But when we parted ways, I called my dad and was talking to him about it and he asked, "So, this friend of yours. Is this person on your list?"
"What list?"
"The list of people you'll hug."
I don't know why, but I cannot stop thinking about that conversation. It's popped into my head at least once a day since it happened.
I guess sometimes I'm just hit with the realization that I'm very lucky that my family understands and accepts my idiosyncrasies. They always have.
For most of my life, my mother had a disclaimer when we met new people.
"This is [Des]," she'd say. "Don't be offended when she doesn't talk to you."
She said that all the way until I was well into my twenties.
I was never made to talk if I didn't want to--which is a good thing, honestly, because when I was younger I had so much anxiety that I couldn't talk sometimes--and I was never made to touch people. Nobody ever told me that I was too old to be so reticent or that I needed to "grow up."
I never had to make myself palatable for other people. My family just made sure everyone know this is the way I was and that wasn't gonna change. That might not sound like much, but considering the fact that I was born in 1990, it feels like a pretty progressive way to grow up for that time period.
idk man. I complain a lot about my family sometimes, and they deserve at least half of it, but then I remember stuff like this and I'm glad I got stuck with these people.
#rl shit#excuse this random ass stream of consciousness. i'm hoping if I type it out I'll stop thinking about it#(kedreeva is on the list in case you're curious)#and to be fair to me and everyone else it's not that I really hate it most of the time#I just feel awkward#because I don't usually touch people#I only get mad if someone that I don't know well takes liberties#if you ask first#I'll probably hug you either way#i'm a big believer in positive reinforcement :P

Okay, not gonna lie, so many 'things about cats that are universal haha this is all the ways they're annoying' posts are just 'I didn't train my cat to be respectful / a good house guest and it shows' posts.
Like. I get it. Most people don't think about it for a start, and cats will generally be manageable if you never put an ounce of training into them, but they're intelligent animals and I would honestly lose my mind if Maybe got close to me when I was eating food, or poked me while I was sleeping, or didn't sleep when I slept, etc.
In this house, cats are raised to be respectful lol, and they get that respect in turn
(*gives Maybe a salmon treat because I can*)
#train your pets#not just the dogs#it's amazing how many 'default cat behaviours' are just like#'default dog behaviours'#when that dog's never been given positive reinforcement training of any kind#anyway if you feel like cats are distant and aloof#and not very loving#at least you know why now#(some cats are extremely loving regardless)#personal

I just find it mind-boggling that some people will reblog things like “Anakin didn’t care about Rex and his men, he wouldn’t listen to Fives just because he was friends with Palpatine” and then in the next post be gushing over Rexwalker/Rexanidala like???? so you agree. Anakin does care about Rex?
#some people will literally hate on either Anakin or the Jedi council for reasons that explicitly contradict the point of the prequels#and then YOU'RE either toxically positive or condoning abuse for liking all the characters and having a nuanced view of things#the takes I mentioned in the body of this post literally wiped out the fact that Palpatine groomed and manipulated him for Years just so-#-they could say “wow the clones didn’t deserve what that horrible guy Anakin did to them”#me: okay. so you’re saying they didn’t deserve for him to show kindness and friendship and help reinforce the mindset of individuality they#-already had and that the majority of jedi encouraged because they are a group who treasure individuality and have compassion on everyone &#-all things???#Anakin could be a shit person but he wasn’t to the clones and I will die on this hill#“he enslaved them” you’re pinning that on ANAKIN. a literal former slave. not the Republic or the Kaminoans?#he would have 0 reason to enslave them because he knows what that’s like. he’s been through that#why. WHY do people blame Anakin or the Jedi for 100% of everything going wrong instead of Palpatine.#you can blame Anakin for the choices he made and the Jedi Order for the oversights and legalism they started to have during the war#but enslavement of the clones??? not listening to Fives because of Palpatine???#if you want to blame Anakin for the clones being slaves you have to blame the rest of the Jedi too#and we all know how rare it is for ‘Anakin antis’ to also be ‘Jedi order antis’#quotation because there is a certain connotation and generalisation that comes with those phrases these days#I just don’t understand why Anakin is to blame for that specifically. blame him for being angry and violent and obsessive and turning to th#dark side logic+morals be damned to save one person yes but slavery??? he didn’t know about the chips and if he did you bet your ass he-#-would hate them just as much as the slave monitors on Tatooine#anyway#I want to see both sides of the debate i really do because some people have really good points on character motivations etc#but it’s getting ridiculous at this point. I always try to be a calm and positive space but some of y’all’s takes are contradictory bullshi#Fandom salt#swift talks#Swift rambles in the tags#vent#Jedi positive#meta#ish?#jedi positivity

I need to stop going through my blocked Hetalia blogs like it's the morning news but damn it's hilarious sometimes 🤣
#people really aren't self aware#if they were they would realize you get more flies with honey than vinegar#and by having a positive outlook on fandom reinforces positive interaction#also the drama or just dumb takes#not that mine aren't shir#I'm self aware enough to know one of you rolls your eyes at any of my posts

"We should respect trans mascs and butches because they protect us at pride"
So I get what you're doing with trying to argue against the anti-masculinity crowd and trying to say that trans mascs and butches are an important part of pride as a way to emphasize our place in the community
But...
Why us?
Why are we disposable? Why are we not worthy of protection?
When are you going to protect us, too?
#'mascs do the protecting but i prommie its because im woke and not bc i love to reinforce gender norms that posit men as the protectors of#femininity'.#also i wanna say something similar about how ppl sometimes treat trans poc like this#like we are valuable not as people but as battering rams as bodies for white protection#but my thoughts are too messy rn to form the post well#goddd and how ppl treat butches is so fucked up.#i understand that butch lesbians roles are traditionally understood as being protectors but like#when are you going to protect butches? when are you going to get in someones face to protect them? how do you think disabled butches feel?#just... i feel like. ppl forget that feminity can also be weaponised in a good way#(not that you HAVE to weaponise femin. in order to protect mascs for any reason)#but like. im a 5'3 small femme. i very easily pass as an upper middle class woman.#i may be black/mixed but i have a mediumish skin tone and i live in canada#i absolutely have the power to step in front of someone and raise my voice in feminine indignation#what are you gonna do? hit me? youre gonna hit a tiny 5'3 'woman' in a skirt that has kitties on it?#the idea of feminine people as weak can cone in handy! because esp large men know they WILL face social consequences for hurting ppl#like me.#especially if i start crying.#itd be more effective if a white person did it but i have that power too
