A new song I wrote

I wrote a song! it’s called Dysphoria. it goes like this:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.

@thevaguestoffeeling You're absolutely right.

If you are part of a vulnerable group - LGBT+, ethnic minority, women, religious minority, teen, anyone - do not think they won't hand your DMs to a government looking to persecute you. Yes, including feckin' Tumblr.

i figured this was common knowledge, but in case you don't know - NO social media messaging service like this is safe to discuss such things. i've heard signal is good and i know it has a great reputation, but never ever ever trust a company to not hand over your data and DMs in a heartbeat

bothers me a bit when animations of cats have large pupils = chilling/tame while thin pupils = intense, afraid or aggressive on one hand i get it cuz thin slit pupils look more "creepy" to people and big pupils look adorable, and when *people* are scared/feeling intense emotions, our eyes widen and our irises look smaller. so it's easier for us to relate to their emotion if we portray it that way and I don't fault anyone who goes for that over realism but also I'm never able to ignore the fact that it's not how that works for cats at all😭 thin slit eyes for cats means they're either chilling or in a bright light. because slit pupils means less light absorbed into their eyes. essentially if they can be more relaxed about how much they see at the moment, like when feeling safe and comfortable and maybe sleepy, they can let their pupils be slits huge pupils, i mean we've all seen the videos. that's the mode of "i must see every little detail in my immediate environment" either because they're hunting, excited about something (like playing or expecting their favourite treat) or because they're anxious/angry/surprised/in pain. large pupils mean they can see their surroundings & focus on their targets better in these situations. they also have big pupils when it's dark out so they can absorb as much of the little light that's available as possible. i thiiiiink for individual cats their "default" pupil size can vary somewhat in the way of.. i've seen some cats have larger pupils in most normal situations while some other cats are most often seen with slits, but in general it's always gonna go the direction of excited/scared/in darkness etc. --> bigger pupils relaxed/safe/in brightness --> smaller pupils

REAL!!

Here are some historical comparisons:

Putin (Russia): He shut down independent charities and aid groups so only his government could control who got help. This let him spread propaganda and punish people who didn’t support him while making sure only loyalists got resources.

Hitler (Nazi Germany): He got rid of foreign aid groups so that no one outside Germany could see or interfere with what he was doing. This let him control who got help and push his extreme nationalist agenda without outside influence.

Orban (Hungary): He kicked out international aid groups so that only his government and his rich allies could decide how money was spent. This let him keep power, reward loyal businesses, and cut off outside checks on his actions.

In all these cases, getting rid of humanitarian aid wasn’t about saving money—it was about taking full control, isolating the country, and making sure only their supporters benefited. That’s what Trump is doing now by shutting down USAID.
