It gets better—the guy is deaf, and he taught his cat the sign for “food.” So the cat’s not just saying “put that in my mouth,” it’s actually signing

Not only that, but if you notice at the beginning, the cat *gets the man’s attention* as any person who wanted to talk to a deaf/hoh individual would (well, and vice versa IME). I’ve done sign since I was 5, and generally, w/o eye contact initially, you wave a hand or lightly touch the arm (if that’s ok with the person you’re trying to converse with, of course). 
Generally, adult cats meow mostly to humans, but this cat has figured out that’s not going to work and has adapted. Animal companions! They are INCREDIBLE.

Amazing.

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND LOOK AT THIS CAT.

AND THE WAY IT NODS OMG

BEST CAT

amazon employee: so how about that new season of stranger thi-

jeff bezos over a walkie-talkie: take the shot

Lol

And cities are throwing money at this asshole to get one of his headquarters here. Why don’t we treat Amazon like the next Walmart?

…hate to break it to y’all, but this is normal.

In every crappy call center I’ve worked in, you’re not allowed to talk between calls. Some call centers will let you keep a book or a notebook at your desk– I read most of The Woman In White at a call centre and should probably reread it- but talking to your coworkers is a nope.

This isn’t just a problem with Amazon or Walmart. This is a problem with the whole damn country.

Let’s all take a moment of silence for anyone who has to work retail the next couple of months.. And please remember that as busy as the holiday seasons are, and you might be in a hurry, your cashier/other employees are working really hard to make you happy and also have feelings like you. 🙏🙏

An additional moment for those in packing, sorting, and shipping jobs, those who spend eight mind numbing, back breaking hours a day getting your holiday stuff to your house. The labor that goes into working at Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc is miserable so please appreciate the work they do

I think women in authority who don’t understand neurodiverse children are particularly pissed when it’s a girl, because they expect certain behavior from boys and a girl acting that way, well hell, she isn’t being her gender the right way and that’s just a personal insult to women everywhere somehow.

I’ve told this story before but it’s relevant so I’m telling it again:

As you all have noticed, I have a pottymouth. I’ve been trying to swear less because it’s both unprofessional and unbecoming of a gentleman, but I say the fuck word a lot. And I did this as a smol AFAB child, too, only I didn’t know any dirty words because I was a sheltered kid. I said ‘darn’ and ‘heck’ and ‘crap’ and ‘stupid’ and ‘moron’ a lot in the same way I say ‘damn’ or ‘hell’ or ‘shit’ or ‘fucking’ or ‘bastard’ these days. 

Wellllll… when I was in school, especially middle and high school, the special ed teachers and paraprofessionals I had to work with Did Not Like That. They banned me from using any of the minced oaths I knew. And I mean any of them- . I can understand them telling me i’m not allowed to say ‘stupid’, but 

I wasn’t allowed to say ‘heck’, for pete’s sake.    

I started switching to fictional curse words, because I need to have something to put in the ‘curse’ word space- if I don’t have a way to quickly intensify a phrase, I can’t properly express myself. But even the fictional curse words quickly got banned. ‘D’arvit’, for example, sounded too much like ‘darn it’.

For a while, I had to resort to the phrase ‘oh, purple-spotted dalmatians’, because it was the only even remotely-curse-like thing I could get away with using. Eventually, I switched to French curse words, and used them until I was able to escape to the safety of homeschool. 

People really don’t like neurodivergent girls being anything but sweetness and light. You’re supposed to be cute and childish and innocent, gentle little Helen Kellers ready to be taught by noble Annie Sullivans.

People forget that Helen Keller was always full of righteous anger.

My parents seem to have a really strong belief that I am effectively incapable of functioning normally socially or functioning on my own, and that my “social problem” justifies a lot of their controlling actions. 

I do have some issues with social anxiety etc.

But, a lot of my parents actions have been the cause of a number of the issues in my social life. I’m pretty much never allowed to have anyone over, they want a full accounting of where I am at all times. I can’t talk to anyone on the phone without them stepping in to listen into the conversation. They have a lot of limits on my social life. They have picked fights with people in my life and therefore messed up potential friends and contacts (if people are interested I can tell some of those stories). Even for the ~2 months I was in a different state than them they tried to establish a lot of control over me. (they for instance were calling regularly to “check in” on me, when I was once out with a friend they tried to call me, I didn’t answer, my parents proceeded to hammer my phone with about 25 total calls before I eventually picked up, they also tried calling the leasing office of the apartment complex I was staying at during the time to get them to check in on me, they also somehow managed to do a password reset on my gmail account to check my email for information about where I was, I was only really out of contact for 1.5 hr) 

When you decide you want to leave, this is the kind of thing that will easily get you a restraining order.

That’s stalking. You’re an adult. On of the great things about being an adult is that you get to decide not to talk to people, even if it’s just for a couple of hours.

This may be something you can get assistance with your state’s Protection & Advocacy organization, too.

in english it’s called a Sunda Flying Lemur

Flying sloth. Lookit

sloth bat ♡

what a weird cat

Colugos, though sometimes called “flying lemurs” are not lemurs, nor sloths, nor bats. They are their own group, pretty closely related to primates without being a part of them.
