How the fuck people gon know what we talking about 100 years from now
They won’t. Just like how many artifacts are in museums for “ritual use” that are very clearly things like dildos or like… Spencer’s style gag gifts like a cup you have to drink from a dick or spill it on yourself. There will be archeologists who are baffled by our nonsensical conversations and conclude things from it about our civilization that will take another 100 years or so for them to realize they were wrong and society has been shit posting since the dawn of time
Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin who has recently relocated to northern Minnesota to be closer to my children and have better access to healthcare. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and I am still having to help cover the utility bills back home on the reservation for my father who is also disabled.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
$175 away from a shower chair that will fit my needs, miigwech (thank you), every little bit helps.
Still $120 short, there is a county program that might help me get one cheaper but time is an issue and it could be a long wait.
Don’t assume malice. Assume ignorance. Life is easier, the world is kinder, and you can educate. Actual malice is pretty rare, I find.
Always remember Hanlon’s Razor–”Never assume malice when incompetence will suffice as an explanation.”
That’s said, never forget Fred Clark’s Law, either: “Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.” There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice–at which there is simply no way to become that ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
This second one. Ignorance, once brought to the attention of the ignorant, becomes malice when they refuse to change. Ignorance is okay but willful ignorance is not.
There’s also the thing where some people who might be entirely decent in one environment can get utterly nasty in others, because they just kind of “follow the crowd”.
Which, sure, that’s not an ideal way to live one’s life, and it leaves one susceptible to easily falling in with bigots, asshats, and general negative nellies… but it’s A Thing.
And people who are Like That can often be reached, and encouraged to behave better, by just existing in their sphere while being generally decent. And sometimes by explaining how certain attitudes and behaviors are hurting people around them. Which also works well on the genuinely ignorant.
i like where this person is going with this, but it’s also wrong.
cats aren’t mimicking human infant cries when they meow. Why would they do that? How would they even know if they’ve never met a human infant? You know when cats meow that doesn’t involve humans? To their babies. Their kittens mewl and they meow back, until the kittens can open their eyes and learn the non-vocal and sub-vocal cat language cues.
Cats don’t meow to us because they’re trying to manipulate us into thinking they’re our babies. Cats meow to us because they suspect that we’re just big, bumbling babies that Need Some Extra Help Communicating.
You know when many cats, including my own, stop meowing at humans? When you learn what non-vocal language cues they recognize, and use those to communicate instead. One of the cues best known by humans is the slow-blink of warmth and respect.
I’m glad I found this, because this is probably why my cat talks to me as much as she does.
She used to be a mother, before she came home with me. So it makes hella sense.
When I go outside, she watches through the window and makes a little ‘meep’ sound when I walk back in, or longer mews, probably asking where I’ve been. She also likes to alert me after she jumps on me, with a meow.
One of her non verbal things is getting behind me then putting her claws in my back to make me sit back so she can lay on me.
The only time my cat meows at me is when he’s either excited to see me, or when he’s trying to get my attention from another room. Where as he screams constantly at everyone else because they don’t understand what he wants
