what catfood commercials make feeding your cat look like: *person comes into the kitchen with a smile* *cat licks its lips* *cat snuggles up to their leg softly while purring*

what feeding your cat is actually like: *cat emits loud shrieking meow in anticipation* *you nearly have a deadly accident because your cat excitedly runs between your legs as you walk to the bowl*

see also: *cat puts its head in front of the bowl just as you plop the food out, so it lands on their head*

How fun. Mr. C is back up watching YouTube, after he did something ridiculous to one elbow while straightening out the mattress pad before bed.

He was already up once a little while ago to put some of his go-to Tiger Balm on it, but that apparently didn’t do enough to let him get to sleep. Doesn’t want to take anything for it, still trying to figure out if it’s just more “bendy joints being obnoxious” or if there’s some actual structural damage. (He rarely will take so much as a Tylenol, but the reasoning this time got me a tad concerned.)

Knowing him, if he’s even mentioning it? It must be pretty bad.

Would basically just curse a lot if it were my elbow by now– as one more thing–but of course it’s different when it’s somebody else. Getting more of a taste again of really wishing there were more I could do to help.

He went back to bed maybe an hour ago, and almost immediately started snoring in there.

Said he thought it probably was just grumpy muscles. Certainly hoping it’s not worse in the morning.

People need to stop assuming men don’t sexually harass, abuse, and assault butch women.

Stop delegitimizing our trauma because you don’t find us fuckable, thanks, we know.

Also like stop basing your concept about Who Is Going To Experience Sexual Violence by how attractive you find someone. Not only is it just shitty and dehumanizing, it frames sexual violence as something that stems from attraction rather than the assertion of domination and power over someone.

This way of parsing and only legitimizing victims seen as Worthy of legitimizing also frequently envisions the Subject of assault as an able-bodied straight white woman. You cannot separate violence against women of color, lesbians/bi women and disabled women from sexual violence, and to attempt to do so is in and of itself, violent.
