“Kill shelters” are the shelters you need to donate to.

“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”

No, shut up, listen to me for a second.

“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.

These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.

On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.

This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.

These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community

Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.

These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.

These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.

These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.

Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.

Sincerely, an animal welfare student who’s tired of seeing the hardest working professionals shat on because of circumstances they can’t control.

permit office: sending one of their own men to exile to cause chaos and unrest in an attempt to justify the existence of the permit office and the poepoe

cleo: riding a horse for 4 days straight on the nether roof to quit exile out of pure spite

doc and xisuma: traveling to and from exile to sell things/help the exiled hermits

the rest of the server: hiding their beds, creating bunkers, doing their best to not get exiled

As a curator, all these people saying museum are expensive...the one I work at is $3 to enter. But there are also plenty of free museums in my area. If you are saying museums are expensive you need to open your eyes to the world of museums beyond big institutional ones. There are so many small, historical houses, historical parks, little art galleries, out there that are free or have small fees. There are also museums that have free or discounted days. There are museums that offer student discounts, senior discounts, military discounts, museums that offer free or discounts if you have SNAP benefits.

Almost all museum memberships have reciprocal benefits. It's a little more up front, but if you become a member at one museum (It's usually like $50 for a year) you get a membership card and there's usually a list of other museums that card will get you into for free.

Also you can always sign up to be a volunteer. Then you can look at the stuff all the time for free. I got my start 10 years ago as a volunteer, fell in love and made it my career.

also lots of public libraries keep a stock of free museum passes at the circulation desk for check out

You know he watched this happen and laughed his ass off and went, “people need to see this.”

these two paintings are called Uncorking the Bottle and A Surprising Result and were done in 1887.

im not really sure why the original post doesnt include the titles, they’re great.

So, I was rewatching Supernatural as comfort (because nothing says self-care like watching your favorite characters suffer), and something hit me like a rogue angel blade to the face.

Gadreel/Dean. Yeah, you heard me.

Gadreel.

Not Castiel (I'm a destiel girlie though but I like options). Not even Michael or whatever!

GADREEL.

The Angel, the Myth, the Betrayer, the Protector of the Actual Garden of Eden.

A Hear Me Out™️ Moment:

  • First off, Gadreel is one of the HOTTEST angels. I don’t make the rules. He’s got the voice, the presence, the tragic past.
  • He’s been THROUGH IT. Just like Dean. And nothing fuels a problematic ship like two traumatized warriors with guilt complexes.
  • He’s the “Protector of the Garden of Eden,” and Dean? Well, Dean’s basically the human embodiment of forbidden fruit 🍎.

Why This Works (And Why You Can’t Stop Me):

  • Gadreel is like I am burdened by my mistakes… and Dean is like I carry so much guilt but cope with alcohol and dad issues.
  • The inherent ✨power imbalance✨ of an ancient celestial being losing his mind over one (1) bisexual disaster hunter.
  • The fact that Dean is all "I like chicks" and yet the minute an angel (or man in general) looks at him with any sort of devotion, it’s game over.

The Energy of This Ship?

🔥ANGRY PINNING: Gadreel, deep-voiced and brooding, being like "You don’t understand, Dean Winchester, I have fallen so far." And Dean, already six shots in, being like "Buddy, I lost my virginity in my dad’s car to an AC/DC song. I understand."

🔥FORBIDDEN ANGST: You KNOW there would be an "I don't deserve this" moment. Maybe after a rough hunt. Maybe after Dean gets wrecked and Gadreel heals him with those big celestial hands of his, and Dean's all "why do you even care?" and Gadreel is like "I was meant to protect humanity. That includes you, dumbass"

🔥MONSTER-FIGHTING PARTNERSHIP: Gadreel, exiled and looking for redemption, begrudgingly teaming up with Dean. “I don’t need an angel babysitter.” But oh, suddenly Dean is bleeding out and those holy hands are on him again and Dean is feeling things he is NOT ready for.

🔥ENEMIES TO LOVERS SPEEDRUN: Dean definitely tries to kill Gadreel at least once. But oh no, they get stranded in an abandoned cabin during a hunt. It’s snowing. Dean is shivering, but Gadreel doesn’t feel cold—except he does when he watches Dean suffer.

🔥APOCALYPTIC ROMANCE™️: You know they’d have a dramatic battlefield moment where Gadreel goes full Protector of Eden Mode and Dean watches, slack-jawed, thinking oh no he's hot.

BONUS POINTS IF:

  • Gadreel calls Dean “Human” like it's an insult but then slowly it turns soft.
  • Dean, in full Denial Mode™, refers to Gadreel as “Feathers” or “Heaven’s Most Wanted” to cope.
  • The obligatory "Don't you dare die on me" moment.
  • The EMOTIONAL CATHARSIS of Dean realizing that Gadreel, despite everything, sees him as worthy.

TL;DR: Dean Winchester, bisexual of the century, deserves to be utterly wrecked by a disgraced but powerful angel with big hands and an even bigger redemption arc.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

all minecraft roleplayers know how to do is exile, geopolitical commentary, block infection, and gay divorce

AND DONT FORGET COURT CASE!!!

cas is truly the character of all time to me. he’s an angel. he’s autistic. he’s a father. he’s a cunt. he’s serving cunt. he’s throwing his phone in the ocean. he’s sacrificing himself at the drop of a hat. he’s making bad unilateral decisions. he was one of heaven’s best soldiers. he killed like half his species. he broke out of heaven’s control and became the embodiment of free will. he’s defying god’s plan. he’s head over heels in love with a guy who dresses like a lumberjack. his dad hates him. he’s deploying the tactical poor little meow meow eyes to throw his brother in law under the bus. he’s been lobotomized dozens of times. he’s wearing a trenchcoat!

the way haymitch must have seen it as all his ghosts coming back to haunt him at once when katniss walked onto the train with the face of burdock and asterid, the pin of maysilee, the voice of lenore dove, and a background so devastatingly similar to his own. of course sweetheart slipped out. and of course he did everything he could to keep her alive
