A place where I post all of my interests and passions with no real sense of order.
Vegan, spoonie, artist (I have a seperate blog and gallery for my artwork)
He/him
This is a LGBTAQ friendly space and I want people to feel safe and accepted here.
Don't be shy if you want to chat or ask me something!
( I may take a while to respond due to health problems but I will get back to you! )
me, long ago, perfectly innocent: hm, i don’t have a lot of followers, but i wanna perform well for them so i’m going to construct a good queue system and post content that they’ll enjoy !!
I stole my piglet from a meat truck 😭 his name is Tonka. He was getting squished I could hear him crying amongst all of the bigger pigs so I got out of my car & stole him with no plans or idea what to do with him I wish I could have saved all of the pigs 😭
Him when he was around a year old with my best friends brother, he lets children lie on his back 😌
This is him grown up now, he is around 300kg & he still makes sounds like a baby, he knows how to sit, shake hands, lie down, walk on a lead, give a kiss, cuddle, until he got too big he could also travel in a car. & he now has a best friend that is a blind pig called Spanky that he shares his home with & helps lead him around 😌 To think he was going to be reduced to something as simple as a breakfast side that could be replaced with something uncruel breaks my heart😭
•"hey, y'see the red thing at the top of the shelf, will you get it?“ “Sorry, what?” “On the sh-” “oh yeah sure, I’ll get it.”
•*doesn’t hear teacher because someone’s pen is making a scratchy sound at the back of the room*
•*replays video 10 ten times to figure out what they’re saying*
•teachers asking, “why do you always stop writing in the middle of a sentence, just write down whatever I’m saying,” followed by the response, “I’m just processing it,” rebuked by, “we’ll stop processing it and just write.”
•*gets really focused on staring out the window and goes through four songs without hearing a single on*
someone is whispering to their friends in the library, you don’t even know who this person is but you know their major, what state they grew up in, and their hobbies during high school. you just wanted to find a quiet spot to do your chemistry homework.
wanting to chime in on other people’s conversations all the time, but don’t, because you’re not suppose to be “listening” to them.
being the only person in the house that can hear that awful buzzing sound certain electronics make
hiding in your room because everything is too loud.
motorcycles were invented by satan
being told that you have dog-like hearing by friends and family
being yelled at for “not listening” by friends and family.
God. God. God. God.
This entire post is so fucking relatable it hurts
“You just need to learn to tune it out.”
Forgetting how to think because ambient noise is drowning out your internal monologue.
“No, I don’t need the volume up, I’d just really like to put on subtitles. No, I don’t need to move closer, I just…”
Leaving the room whenever someone starts talking on the phone.
Pausing your video whenever someone starts talking but trying really really hard not to seem passive aggressive about it.
Struggling to explain why this one sound is the most horrible thing in the world while other very similar sounds are fine.
“How come you can hear a pin drop but you can’t hear anything else?”
Clocks are the spawn of satan like seriously fuck that shit
Admitting that you still don’t understand directions and feeling guilty for asking for the person to repeat themself again
Trying to focus in class but there’s too much going on around you and you just sit there until the idea you had comes back
Getting so focused on something that whenever someone says something to you, you absolutely freak out because you know you’re going to lose your train of thought and you get kind of mad
Falling asleep is super hard
Waking up and then trying to go back to sleep is super hard
Hearing people breath or cough really annoys you
Trying to watch something but there’s people in the other room talking so you can’t pick something to focus on
@magnumpicactus the sand is on top of really hot coal and is pretty much boiling. The dude is dragging the pot of coffee on it to boil it. Its a traditional turkish way to make turkish coffee and its really good.
Am I the only one who thinks that hitting a kid and abuse are different things? Like, if I ever had a kid, I wouldn’t spank their ass raw or something like that. But a bop on the mouth or the ear pull or a smack upside the head? Yea. Those are behavior modifiers.
Except they’re not.
The studies done by the trained psychologists in this joke show that little kids don’t associate being hit with the thing they’ve done wrong. Very small children only understand consequences that are directly caused by the thing they did. Steal a biscuit, biscuit tastes good. Then for no reason mummy hit me. Very different to stole a biscuit, now no biscuit after dinner because I stole a biscuit.
And they also show that when a child is old enough to understand why they are being hit that non-physical punishment is equally as effective and less mentally harmful in the long run.
Do you know who benefits the most from hitting as a punishment? The parent. It gives a satisfaction rush. Parents do it because it makes them feel good.
Basically kids have two stages: too young to understand why they are being hit so physical punishment is useless for anything other than teaching a child that bigger stronger people can hit you whenever they like (Which sounds like the same lesson you would learn from abuse)
And the second stage is old enough to be reasoned with so many punishment options are available and you chose physical violence because it makes *you* feel better, which is an abusive action.
The only time a person should ever use violence against another human being, of any age, is to stop that person from being violent themselves.
Hitting a stranger is a crime. Hitting someone small who relies on you for food, love, and shelter should be as well. Don’t hit your fucking kid.
I swear eating meat rots ur brain to the point a tapeworm takes full control of ur body and starts typing shit like this
At the same time it’s their life and you can’t expect everyone to be vegan or vegetarian. it’s not an easy switch for everyone
Slow progress is still progress
Absolutely all progress is good progress, however, we aren’t talking about simple life choices here, we are talking about people choosing to support the exploitation, suffering and brutal slaughter of other sentient beings. “At the same time it’s their life” The life that it is most important to consider is the life of the victim, the sentient beings being exploited and having their life needlessly and brutally taken from them as a result of these people choices. While it’s important to continue spreading awareness and education, to support others in going vegan, we can’t simply say its a matter of individual personal choices, we can’t accept “ it’s their life “ as a justification for the unjustifiable. Whenever it is possible and practicable to avoid such animal cruelty as consumers, then there is a moral obligation to do so if you’re opposed to animal cruelty.
