Benny gets the most joy when his human mom brings home rescued kittens, so he can help look after them and show them the same love that he received when he was rescued. Whenever Ellen brings home an orphan baby (or a box of babies), Benny anticipates their arrival and is filled with excitement. He becomes their dedicated surrogate dad, and his fatherly instinct kicks in the moment he sees a kitten.
UPDATED AND REPOSTED BECAUSE THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED. ORIGINAL POST DELETED BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER ACCURATE AND I DONT WANT IT CIRCULATING ANYMORE. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO BOOSTED IT AND DONATED. ❤️
My name is Almond, I am non binary and use they/he pronouns. I was recently kicked out of my mother’s home in Redding, CA because she is under a lot of stress and doesn’t want me living with her. She deals with mental illness and has a difficult time not taking it out on me. Over the past year she has continually kicked me out, then begged me to come home using manipulative tactics like threatening to get rid of my dog (who is my emotional support animal), only to kick me out again. There have been times that I’ve left to go out with my friends and she’s texted me telling me that I left my bedroom messy and to never come home again. My dog was abandoned and I rescued her, so it causes extreme stress and trauma for her when my mother constantly separates her and I. I need a living situation where I don’t have to be scared leaving that I might not be allowed home again and where my dog and I will not have to be separated. I was also recently r*ped by someone who is widely known and loved in Redding and I am scared to out him when everyone loves him and will side with him. What he did to me has scared me and disgusted me to the point that I can’t eat or sleep and I don’t even want to go out in public because I’m scared I’ll run into him. My dog and I are currently staying with my grandmother who will be moving to Iowa on February 12th. When my grandmother leaves I am not sure where I will go. The goal is to find a room to rent in Chico with my best friend, J (who is living in an abusive household and needs to escape) but neither of us has the money. J has a job in Chico but is given very few hours and makes very little, so they are searching for a second job and trying to sell things of theirs. I am currently trying to sell my car, and any other items I have that are of worth. I am working hard to find a job in Chico and have a few leads, but until I am working the truth is that I have absolutely no money to sustain myself or my dog. I need this money to help J and I get an apartment and support myself and my pup until I am on my feet. I feel terrible asking for help from people, but I am in a really difficult situation and I am stuck. If you would like to donate or even give words of encouragement it is extremely appreciated. Once again I am so sorry, I would not be asking for help if I didn’t truly need it. Thank you❤️
I firmly believe that unless the couple has discussed and agreed to marriage ahead of time, nobody has any business making a surprise public proposal.
Okay except some people want a surprise public proposal.
Girl my husband took me to Spain and gave me a kinder egg on the beach, the ring was inside the capsule (Lord knows how he did that) if any feminist tried to take that away from me I may cut a bitch. Best surprise of my life.
I wish people were capable of analyzing larger social trends and figuring that a significant number of women end up getting pressured into engagements or marriages they don’t want bc the audience that comes along with a public proposal will think she’s a bitch if she says no – instead of thinking “i liked it when it happened to me, therefore it could never turn out badly for anyone, not ever!!!!”
I think what people are misunderstanding here is that agreeing to marriage ahead of time doesn’t need to be like, asking permission to propose? I surprised my now spouse with a proposal in Disneyland but before that we had several conversations about the future of our relationship, future plans for our retirements and how we’d have to get married eventually for immigration purposes. I didn’t go to her and say “so would you say yeah if I proposed?” or hash out deets ahead of time, but we had enough of a mutual understanding and communicated desire to get married that, although it was a surprise for when and how I proposed, it wasn’t out of left field at all.
This is exactly like conversations about consent, people get up in arms thinking that it means you have to have contracts and serious sit down conversations before doing anything when its REALLY EASY to simply COMMUNICATE with your partner so things like this are done properly, yeesh
“proposal can be a surprise, engagement shouldn’t be“ – saw that somewhere, thought it was the most accurate
not to mention op specifically stated that it was about communication, not “surprise proposals are toxic”
but hey any excuse to bash feminism amirite
Also I want to point out there is a key difference between surprise proposals and public proposals. A public proposal puts a lot of pressure on the person to say ‘yes’ as they are being watched by a lot of people. There is nothing wrong with proposing with few of no people around as then that person has time to think. I also want to add that if you don’t think the person proposing will be ok with you saying ‘I’ll think about it’ they probably aren’t the person for you.
if anyone outside of tumblr ever asks me what it’s like to have a semi-popular blog I’m going to tell them about the time I made a post that SIMPLY AND CLEARLY ONLY said I like how hotels smell like pools and that I feel peaceful walking through their hallways and it literally branched into three very confusing discussions that are STILL going to this day, years later, which are:
pool employees Very Aggressively informing me that being able to smell a pool means chlorine levels are too high and I shouldn’t like that
hotel employees Very Aggressively telling me hotels aren’t peaceful for THEM and I should be more considerate of them when I say I find hotels peaceful
people??? angrily explaining to me that any time I’m in a hotel there is probably a victim of human trafficking in one of the rooms so I shouldn’t romanticize hotels.
and that about sums up any experience I’ve had with a post that gets too many notes tbh it’s probably best if everyone would stop reblogging my posts forever
I’ve been trying to capture him sleeping like this for Weeks y’all have no idea. he has the most sensitive hearing. he would hear me everytime I tried to sneak up and take his picture
The cards are often used to wiggle out of minor trouble such as speeding
tickets, the theory being that presenting one suggests you know someone
in the NYPD.
The rank and file is livid.
“They are treating active members like s–t, and retired members even
worse than s–t,” griped an NYPD cop who retired on disability. “All the
cops I spoke to were . . . very disappointed they couldn’t hand them out
as Christmas gifts.”
Wait. There’s an actual card for this?
How the hell was there not a longstanding counterfeiting operation around these?
Yup.
Its amazing this is actually a real formalized thing.
Ok, I know its a thing for cops to let friends and family of cops off.
But printing up an actual formalized card for it? WTF.
It’s just the business card for the police union. It doesn’t say “get out of jail free”.
But it implies that you know a police officer. And I suppose if they considered a person sufficiently suspicious, they could ask who the officer was and call to confirm.
Thats better.
But its still kind of creepy that cops giving favors to friends of other cops has become so routine that this happens.
Definitely.
They’re a little bit more than business cards. Here’s an article from 2012 on them that says they at least sometimes come “in a customized wallet that reads “Family Member,”” and this one describes them as “plastic”. They’re pretty clearly supposed to look like some kind of official “friend of cop” ID.
