wings
✿ flying
✿ stretching them in the morning
✿ chairs/cars being a pain in the ass
✿ tight spaces and crowded areas -_-
✿ wrapping them around you when you’re cold
✿ feeling majestic

“It’s cruel to not let your cats outside.” No, it’s cruel to allow your cats to go out in an environment where anything could happen and you wouldn’t be there to help if something did. Its cruel to let your cat be exposed to diseases, parasites, and chemicals, which is what happens when you let them outside. It’s cruel to shorten your cat’s lifespan by half because you insist on them not being an indoor cat.
It’s even better for the environment to keep them indoors since your cat won’t be driving native birds and rodents away that are a necessary part of neighborhood ecosystems. If you really want your cat to be outside, take them out on a leash or at the very least supervise them while they’re outside. If you have the resources, you could even build a catio (patio for your cat). But please, do not let your cat free roam outside. You’ll have a healthier cat if you don’t.
My cat is an out door cat, he is 10 years old and beautiful, the vast majority of the time he is inside cuddling up with me and looking majestic af 👌🏻 we give him worming treatment monthly to make sure he doesnt get sick and can come in and out whenever he likes, and there is a vast abundance of rabbits and mice to catch with no danger of killing off anything entirely in my area since theres nothing interesting anyway
Then you are lucky because statistics show that outdoor cats only live to be 2-5 years old. And when it comes to the environment, it’s not just about what your cat kills. Prey animals will literally decide to no longer settle around your neighborhood just because they see and smell your cat, which cuts down on biodiversity. Just because those animals aren’t “interesting” to you, doesn’t mean they aren’t a necessary part of keeping the ecosystem in your neighborhood balanced and healthy.
And for all you know, your cat could have feline hiv from being outside and you wouldn’t even know it unless you got them tested for it regularly because it often is symptomless.
Outdoor house cats are a HUGE cause of biodiversity loss from incidental take. For birds alone, there are estimated to be 100 million to 350 million killed because of outdoor cats - which is, at the low end, double the estimates for some of the other leading human-caused sources of mortality, such as collisions with windows and vehicles. Cats are a source of abnormal mortality (mortality that a species has not adapted to deal with) for birds, rodents, and other small species of animals that are important to ecosystems - not just overpopulated rabbits. It can dramatically reduce their population sizes, leading to extirpation or even extinction of some species.
Even if you don’t think that it’s dangerous to let a cat roam outside because of traffic, predators that will go after cats, diseases beyond just worms, possibility of accidental injury, and so on (which it is), cats have an absolutely devastating effect on local ecology if left outdoors and it is extremely irresponsible (both in terms of pet ownership - because it IS dangerous - and for the ecosystem) to let that happen.
So this is just a PSA, y'all should never sign a contract until you read it. I’m talking in rl right now. I just got through reading my employee handbook/service contract and my bosses slipped in a lot of bullshit like telling me I can’t complain about my job on social media, demanding I work off the clock in the name of good service, expects me to show up on time during inclimate weather, and considered disability or religious accommodation a direct threat to the company.
These are all things I took issue with and brought to my employer for further discussion before signing the contract. Most of my coworkers signed without reading, treating it like an internet terms of service contract.
Tl;dr real life is serious shit, lawyers write contracts to protect your employer FROM YOU, read contracts before you sign them - fucking ARGUE about contracts before you sign them
Also important to note, and something my bf has repeated to me many times: a contract is a negotiation until it is signed, and YOU ARE ALLOWED TO AMEND IT. Tech companies often put some bs in there about “we own everything you make while you work for us” which broadly applied also means anything done on your own time. He always ALWAYS does write-in amendments with initial and date to state that they only own things done FOR the company, on company time, because there have been companies that enforced that bullshit when somebody had a personal side project the company decided they wanted to steal. There’s only one company that threw a fit at his attempts to amend it and he considered that a huge red flag and refused to sign, turned down the job.
Never. EVER. Sign shit without reading it. Also: if your prospective employer won’t let you take the thing home to read before you sign it and says you need to sign it then and there THAT IS A RED FLAG. The job I had that turned out to be abusive as shit was like that. Every other job I’ve been able to bring the contract home to my parents to have a more experienced set of eyes on it. It’s also common practice in some fields to have one’s attorney look over it before signing. So never let them tell you that you can’t look over it with someone else. That’s a fat load of shit. For “lower level” jobs they may not accept amendments to the contract but if they won’t even give you the proper time to read it over, they’re trying to pull some bullshit on you and you’re going to regret it if you sign. Even if there’s nothing bad in what you signed it’s an example of how they are going to treat you while you’re there. Take it to heart and run like fucking hell.
Please also tell your coworkers. Inform others. Tell everyone. Please, for the lovee of everything TELL PEOPLE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO THESE THINGS.
Companies BANK on the fact you’re not going to read it. Then they slip in shit like ‘you can’t talk about your wages’ because they want you to keep quiet, so thy can pay that guy six bucks, and pay the guy over there fifteen and pay you eight. They want you to accept it all blindly. PLEASE DON’T STAY BLIND.
Yes, I’ve lost out on jobs because I wanted to read it and they didn’t want me to. Or they wanted m to resign and I said no to to the things they added that I pointed out were unfair and borderline illegal.
Read shit. Tell everyone else to read shit. BE INFORMED.
Absolutely 100% good advice ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Never ever ever sign shit without reading and re-reading it! Take it home, show it to someone more experienced, if you can, show it to a lawyer. A contract is supposed to work for both sides. A company in Toronto tried to make me sign a contract with clause that in event of me leaving the job I will not work in a similar position anywhere in Ontario. Yeah, right, not enforceable in court, dudes, you can’t prevent me from making a living. Read the shit and don’t let them intimidate you.
So I just went with my buddy while he got a rib tattoo, and they hurt like a lot, so he’s over there grimacing and being a huge manbaby so I just reach over and grab his hand so he can squeeze it because I’m a good person who helps others
And he’s clinging to my hand like it’s a life preserver and I’m being me and talking about nonsense like Grimace from the McDonalds commercials and how R2D2 is always ready to throw hands, and whatever, and the artist keeps glancing over at me and I’m like do your tattoo bro I’ve got my buddy handled
But then I realize he’s like, looking over because he can’t tell if he’s seeing something or not, and I glance down and I see my rainbow scalemail bracelet, and how I’m talking to my buddy all fondly and I’m like stroking his arm like he’s a wounded animal, and right as it clicks in my head the tattoo artist asks in his most nonchalant voice possible, like intentionally bland, I’m just talking about the weather haha what do you mean voice:
“So, are you guys close?”
And my gay ass is over to the side internally screaming because yeah, I am gay, but like this is just me being a good bro and my buddy is COMPLETELY OBLVIOUS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE HE’S A GARBAGE STRAIGHT PERSON AND HE SAYS
“Yeah of course, that’s why I asked him to come”
SO NOW THE TATTOO ARTIST THINKS HE’S RIGHT AND HE HAS A GAY COUPLE GETTING A TATTOO AND MY BUDDY HAS NO IDEA AND I’M AWKWARDLY SITTING HERE LIKE SHOULD I STOP HOLDING HIS HAND??? SHOULD I CORRECT THIS TATTOO ARTIST??? SHOULD I LET MY BUDDY KNOW??? MY GAY ASS DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE BEING INCORRECTLY ACCUSED OF BEING GAY, WHAT DO YOU DO
So that tattoo artist is like “Cool man, that’s great. Good for you.”
So then my buddy is like can I get some water, and the guy comes back with one bottle of water and my buddy takes a drink and then hands it to me, and I’m like obviously he has to lay down and needs me to hold his water so I just hold it in my hand, but turns out he was offering me water, so he turns to me and is like Colton, drink some water, and I take a drink and my garbage lizard brain is like “You’re drink sharing in front of the tattoo artist, now he KNOWS he’s right”
So we’re talking about tattoos with the artist and I mention that I’m getting a tattoo in September and my buddy is like “Yeah I’m gonna go and hold HIS hand for that one haha” and the tattoo artist FUCKING SAYS “I mean, I should hope so”
I MEAN, I SHOULD HOPE SO
I MEAN, I SHOULD HOPE SO
AND NO ONE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT UP. I KNEW WHAT THE TATTOO ARTIST WAS THINKING BUT DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO CORRECT HIM. NOW WHEN MY BUDDY GOES BACK AND GETS HIS NEXT TATTOO IN THE FUTURE AND I’M NOT THERE HE’S GOING TO GO “OH WHERE’S YOUR BOYFRIEND”
My dad is the most homophobic person I’ve ever met and I’ll write him a letter with EVERY url that reblogs this.
He said some very fucked up things on the phone today and I told him I’d reply with a letter!
And I’m straight. I just have lgbtq friends and family!
