Holy fucking shit of all the possibilities I did not see that one coming.

Fun fact about Tobi: I have a blistering personal hatred for Alex Jones. Mostly because he was my mentally ill, brain damaged mother's (I'm not being cruel she literally has a hole in her brain from cancer) introduction to the world of conspiracy theories and alt right bullshit.

So for years, every now and then, I put a curse on him. Curses are fun because they let you feel like you're hurting someone without ever actually doing anything illegal that could conceivably harm them. My curse was in the form of a drawing- Anubis, the Egyptian god of death and judgment, as a jackal, eating the heart out of Jones' chest.

Today I wake up to the news that Jones' stupid fucking Infowars channel was bought by the Onion, who intends to gut it out and use its corpse as a puppet to mock the ignorance the channel once espoused as truth.

I'm not saying there is or is not a god. But I have a sneaking suspicion there might be an Anubis.

impossible for me to be sad when i remember this cypriot terracotta mask of an ambiguous animal exists

when your pet comes to you from another room, the preceding moments meant that they were alone somewhere and thought about YOU, an animal brain literally thought about you and came to you to see what you were doing. that’s love, unconditional.

Also, some of us have inconsistent empathy. I have really low empathy for people and really high empathy for animals and inanimate objects, to the point that I am almost incapable of throwing things away, including things like cardboard boxes.

Also, PSA for everyone: empathy isn't the same thing as sympathy or caring about things. I care very much about other people, I just don't instinctively understand how they feel without them telling me. I barely understand what I'M feeling. If you're still unclear on the difference... have you ever watched a clip of someone getting hurt while doing something stupid, like whacking themselves in the balls, and you instinctively cringed because OW, then congratulations, you have empathy for other people.

I have enough experience, albeit second-hand because I don't have balls, to know that being hit in the balls is almost universally described as extremely painful. If you get whacked in the balls right in front of me, I'm going to ask if you're okay, because I have been told that it's painful and I care that you're in pain. That's sympathy.

"All autistics have low empathy" - This statement is wrong.

"Autistics having low empathy is a MYTH, we actually have HIGH empathy!" - This statement is ALSO wrong.

Autistics can have low empathy, they can have high empathy, they can have learned empathy. The myth would be that all autistics only experience one end of the empathy spectrum.

In spreading around misinformation that autistics actually have high empathy, you are disregarding the autistics who do have low empathy. And vice versa.

Hello, Sherlock Holmes adaptation writer. I have trapped you in this room. It is fully furnished and comfortable. On the table, you will notice a copy of A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of which redistribution is perfectly legal, as the work is in the public domain. You will notice it is rather thin. You have 24 hours to read the approximately 8,550 words in this story. To exit this room, all you must do is summarize the plot of the story without referring to Irene Adler as a seductress or implying she is attracted to Sherlock Holmes. Good luck.

EMERGENCY EVICTION HELP

Hey, so I could really really use some help this month. My boyfriend just lost his job because our vehicle broke down and I am disabled. We’re not gonna make rent this month without some sort of help. We really really need help. Our court date is the 21st of November. We need help. I don’t want to lose my home. I don’t want to lose my support animal but I don’t have anywhere for her to go. Because we don’t even have a vehicle to live out of anymore. Please help if you can, a few dollars or a share, anything. Please. We’re desperate.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

One could argue, perhaps, that the only thing better than having a giant, living space-heater is /being/ that giant living space-heater.

Not to be outdone by her baby brother, Fae also earned her CGC and TKN last weekend while surrounded by our wild bunch of dobermans. The club is trying to convince me to get her BH at their trial next year and I am actually sort of tempted. Why not? She's done everything else the big dogs have except the bitey stuff.

Daughter of fantasy villains decides to rebel against her parents by actually going through with her arranged marriage to a local golden retriever of a prince instead of running off with some local villain-to-be or conquering said golden retriever’s kingdom and ruling it solo like her parents expect her to. Plus, sue her, she’s into the clean-cut earnest look.

At the same time, local prince charming discovers that he’s actually very into the gothic fiance his parents have landed him with in order to try and establish peace with the local evil lair down the lane, he would never have guessed a spiderweb pattern could look so fetching on a ball gown…?

Meanwhile, two pairs of parents in a tizzy because they both expected their offspring to whole-heartedly reject this union and give them an excuse to conquer their goody-two-shoes/evil neighbours, they’re not supposed to actually like each other-!
