feministfreedomquotes:

I don’t think Canada or the U.S. governments have changed at all — we have been stuck in this same battle since Wounded Knee, Oka, Elsipogtog and Standing Rock. When it comes to Indigenous rights — whether treaty rights or constitutional rights — they are rights in theory only. Our ‘rights’ are only legal arguments we get to make in court if we survive the on the ground attack and if we have enough money to fight the government in court for 25 years. They are certainly not ‘rights’ if the government can use all force necessary to stop us from peacefully protecting those rights.“

my brother is teaching his cat how to high five by giving her a treat every time she successfully taps her hand to his hand, which is all well and good, but now she thinks that she is entitled to food every time she high fives someone.  i can’t eat in the same room as her anymore because she’ll just bap my hand rapid fire and then go nyoom straight in for my pizza like no Kelly that’s illegal go finish ur own dinner

“No Kelly, that’s illegal.”

So, a while back, I was using clicker-training to teach my cat Taz tricks. She learned very quickly and it was a good experience all around, but we had to hide the clicker.

Taz had learned that the clicker meant she got treats. So she would find it, carry it up to people, step on it to make it click, and then SCREAM AT THEM to give her the treats she was clearly owed because the clicker had made a sound.

Remember when this baby cowfish was smaller than a golf ball? Look at it now! Were definitely up around clementine size now.
