Losing my mind at this poor girl in Argentina who found a kitten on the side of the road and adopted it only to find out it was a freaking jaguarundi. Look at that fucking thing. That's a whole ass kiddy cat

#WHAT DID SHE DO WITH IT.... please tell me she raised that thang

Better yet, she got in contact with a local wildlife reserve! She found him and his sister beside a dead animal on the side of the road, apparently quite thin, and assumed they were just abandoned kittens. The female passed shortly afterward but the male was fine- two months later she brought him to the vet and discovered "hey, thats a whole ass jungle cat." There's a good chance Tito will be back in the wild someday, even! IMHO, two kittens on the side of the road, and one didn't make it more than a couple days? they probably WERE abandoned. just dumb luck they got picked up!

LISTEN to those sweet cheeps. to me I hear that sound and immediately think wild cat, but I think its totally reasonable for a teenager to find a kitten this young and think it was a normal cat. Jaguarundi are also really small!

These are TINY little wildcats!

They have really distinct looking faces and especially ears, but

if a layman ran into one of these things where they werent expecting to see one, I think its pretty reasonable they might assume it was just a weird looking cat

yeah, people have pointed out how ironic it is that for all Musk's stupid invocations of The Matrix, Vivian is the one whose life story has played out like Neo

Three things I've always dreamed about having in my house are a video game arcade cabinet, a pinball or skee-ball machine, and an old-fashioned vinyl record jukebox. Like, I want these very badly and there is a non-zero chance I will spend a small portion of whatever inheritance I receive to buy just one of these things, if there is anything left after house repair.

What are some cool larger things you would genuinely love to have, if you had money and space?

The night sky on Mars

I was wondering whether the constellations would look any different on Mars, so I looked it up, and apparently not; galactically speaking Mars is so close to us that the difference is imperceptible. However, I did find this neat additional bit:

Same sky, but no light pollution.

Some Like It Hot (1959) dir. Billy Wilder

#someone pointed out once that he chose his female name because he liked it#whereas the other man just picked the female version of his existing name#because it was easier and that was his main concern#lot of interesting gender stuff going on here

Oh yeah there was a lot of "Hayes Code be damned, all of us making this film are queer/friends with queers and we're going to have some fun with gender identity" in this film. That's why it still holds up. It's not a story based around getting a laugh out of dressing men up as women so they can be clowns - there's an integrity to the cross-dressing. Daphne is an identity Jerry realized he had when he put on a dress. Every time he chooses to keep his wig and outfit on and maintain his feminine mannerisms while alone with Joe, it shows his comfort in this identity, and it elicits laughter from the audience through the dialogue, ie. the audience isn't laughing at the fact that a man is in a dress, but at the characters as fleshed out characters and human beings. The laughter comes from the situations the characters are put in and their reactions to them, not from a parody of womanhood presented through a male perspective. Similarly, Osgood's classic line at the end of the film is an affirmation that he likes Jerry as he is, even if he's Daphne. It's a way of getting the audience to say, "this is fine, we're comfortable" through laughter to something socially unacceptable in its time.

Joe's masculine identity, meanwhile, is used to highlight his misogyny and force him to understand it (and the same with Jerry, but as he's less of a womanizer, there's less of a point to be made with him). In a world where men and women often had separate social circles that overlapped only when romance was on the table, putting a man like Joe in a female space where he's privy to the conversations and emotions that his actions elicit gives him a lot to contend with and understand because he can see the consequences of his actions as raw pain and secondhand, instead of as anger being spewed directly at him. Again, the joke isn't that he's a man in a dress, or that he's parodying womanhood, it's that as a selfish misogynist he's put in situations where he's forced to empathize with the experience of womanhood in order to convincingly enact it for his own safety.

There's a whole lot more to unpack in the metaphor of these two men having to pass as women because their lives are at stake if they don't.

Okay so for one of my screenwriting and film studies sections I wrote a paper comparing the language of clothing and feminism from Wilder in two of his films, The Apartment and Some Like it Hot.

Now I am not going to spew out a wall of text on the subject or anything, but I did want to point out that he did not just "sneak things by" the code, he actually deliberately REFUSED to abide by it at all for this film, he willfully refused to even apply for the certification, he knew it wouldn't pass, and he knew he wouldn't bend to let it pass.

He and the studio took a gamble that a Wilder-Curtis-Lemmon-Monroe flick would do box office and get play without the "seal of approval" from the code folks.

And he was right.

in honor of the new tomodachi life announcement here's a dream i had last year

Guys check the comment section it’s good

1st person horror

I hate taking fever reducers

like. big whoop I'll feel better for six hours and then shitty again

but I got to the fever level at which it's recommended, so I had to fucking take it. damnit. this is the worst

I AM extremely glad they exist though, as a history person

like

how many people could have not helplessly watched their children die of fevers if they'd had Tylenol? Many Many

(and this is my thought process every time I complain about a Modern Thing by the way)

I cannot TELL you how many times I gave my feverish kids medicine that would reduce their temperature and sat by their beds and--truly--thought about how many parents in the past didn't have that luxury. Modern medicine is a goddamned gift. This may be an RFK Jr. subtweet. Who's to say.

you're so right

it's impossible to overemphasize just how many things could kill you in the past

like

the life expectancy was in the 30s for a lot of it not because you were Old At 30. but because:

A. so many children and infants died (SO many)

B. there were. WAY more things that could kill you. diseases that are surviveable now. injuries, ditto. freaking childbirth (don't get me STARTED on childbirth. both of my friends who have kids would have died before surviveable c-sections probably)

I probably would have died of an infected cyst on my arm at age 15, before antibiotics. or lost the arm. that's assuming the croup didn't get me when I was seven. and furthermore that I didn't get any of the things we vaccinate for now

also like. I don't know. my brother died at one year old of a rare complication from, basically, a cold virus. that's impossible to detect without tests nobody is going to give a seemingly healthy baby. he died in 1992 and there was nothing anybody could have done to stop it. and no matter how expected it is in one's society, I cannot believe it was ever any easier than it was for my family. it changes you, in ways you'll never be able to reverse. I was born after his death, and even I felt the negative space of his absence in our lives (though I will say that my parents handled it exceptionally well in my opinion)

my father still talks about wanting to be cremated and have the ashes scattered on his grave. thirty-something years on. my grandfather stopped believing in God when he died. and I want to emphasize that there was nothing, nothing that could have saved him. imagine a child dying of something you COULD prevent

the fact that some people would go back to a time when this was commonplace is just insane to me

I have had pneumonia—confirmed by chest X-ray—three times. Once in high school, once in college, and once in adulthood. That is unusual; I’m clearly prone to lung infections.

All three times, my doctor only allowed me to leave their office without hospitalization if I promised to call every day and update them on my breathing and condition.

I am well aware that before antibiotics, I likely would have died the first time, at sixteen.

That’s actually a brilliant idea, even from a strict effectiveness standpoint.

Pity they got shut down.

Some examples:

Just goes to show how much data facebook/insta collect about you that gets sent to advertisers. Also facebook responded by effectively saying ‘yes we collect the data but we dont allow advertisers to say that they’re using this data’ after trying to accuse Signal of pulling a ‘PR stunt’. Facebook is so scummy.

ur payin eighty dollars for this?

This is still wrong, but this is supposedly to allow digital-only packaged games to be resold, rather than to replace proper physical games. However, I will not buy any first-party Nintendo games that use this sort of system.

I got 4 separate anon messages from this guy, despite blocking his blog. @gazavetters has done nothing to remove him from the list of vetted fundraisers, and I believe condones the behavior.

it's called the Switch 2 because you Switch 2 a cheaper hobby

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
