when dogs are scary smart

over the last several months, we have been implementing a protocol to eliminate karybelle the sheltie’s barking surrounding her mealtimes. we have accomplished this by initially introducing an alternate activity during prep time (stuffed kong) and religiously giving her a time out gated in the yard if she stops that activity to bark, thus delaying her dinner until she’s quiet. this has been extremely successful; she’s gone from barking literally 100+ times during meal prep to barking 0 times, and only occasionally slips up. the behavior she has chosen to replace her meal-prep-screaming (after all, that energy has to go somewhere) is frantically - but silently - running circles around the coffee table to finally slam into a perfect down-stay as her bowl is set down.

this evening as the food was coming out, karybelle seamlessly slipped into her silent circling routine. except after a couple of reps, she abruptly changed course, yeeted herself out the dog door, barked once, and immediately jumped back in to resume her circling.

if that isn’t a demonstration of crystal clear understanding of criteria, i...don’t know what is lmao

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

idk what shit-eating truscum needs to hear this, but your rhetoric directly harms people with culturally-specific genders. i’m native and two-spirit, that label describes my gender and my attraction. i use they/them pronouns and your “nonbinaries and cringey stargender trenders aren’t valid” bullshit is getting old. our languages were demonized and erased, our gender and attraction labels along with them. my experiences with dysphoria exist because of colonialist ideas of gender. we have been forced into arbitrary ‘male’ and ‘female’ categories by colonizers for centuries and truscum rhetoric perpetuates racist colonialist violence against natives.

your experiences are not universal, you’re not forwarding justice for trans people, and you’re definitely not an ally to natives or other people of color. you’re just a fucking colonizer.

I’d take health care and no children in cages if it meant, like, fewer kinds of apple juice to choose from, idk.

not to dictate your life but drop your shitty friends

So my landlord is kicking me and my dog out, and fast.

For the past couple of months I’ve been paying rent late, and I had a non written agreement with my landlord that I would pay half of $900 every two weeks, $500 the first two weeks and then $400 take next, but my job has been cutting most of my days at work and between that and my dogs very expensive seizure meds it’s not cutting.

Because this is subletting month to month half of my housing rights aren’t taken into consideration here. She wants me out in a week because I’ve practically only paid for the first half of the month...

I have no clue where I’m going I have a big dog with me and it seems like dogs are not welcomed anywhere in la.

The best I can do rn is go to a cheap motel but that’s at lease $70 a night..

I don’t talk with my family since I came out I have no safety net and I’m terrified.

I actually have less than a week, and I’m working for most of it

If anyone could spare anything, it would go towards me housing my dog and I!

Bird: AAH-

Y'all understand that it is literally not possible for gay couples to be heteronormative. A masculine gay man dating a feminine gay man isn’t heteronormative. A butch lesbian dating a femme lesbian isn’t heteronormative. They’re fucking gay. Telling gay people they’re somehow enforcing heteronormativity by being themselves and dating another gay person is nasty and ridiculous.

MOURN THE DEAD, FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR THE LIVING

Happy Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience! A queue’d, quick sketch before I go away sans Wifi.

Even just since I came out, and even with the setbacks, things are getting easier for the people coming after me. I’m grateful for - and proud of - that every day.

[Description for screen readers: the phrase “Remember the dead, and fight like hell for the living” handwritten in black on a white circle. Within the white circle is a black circle, showing two hands holding onto each other, and one helping the other up. One hand wears a pink and blue bracelet with “TDORR” handwritten in white. Surrounding the hands are burning candles in trans pride colors: baby blue, pink, and white.]
