ACED IT

Such an important thing to hope for

slowly getting back into digital art ✨

i think it’s funny when neurotypical ppl are on their “do something every day that scares you :)” thing bc everything in the world scares me every day including things i already know i like doing

“do something that scares you” well i woke up this morning, and i plan to go to sleep tonight, so the box is already checked off my guy

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of "picky eaters". no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don't like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they've said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to "trick" them into eating it anyway

once i’m mentally stable and fully covered in tattoos it’s over for you

Obviously I want you to take care of your pets and make sure they get food and fresh water on a regular basis, but cats being huge drama queens and screaming hysterically at you and acting like they’re tragic famine victims who haven’t eaten in weeks and are about to drop dead from starvation right mcfuckin now, because you’re 10 minutes late feeding them is always going to be one of the funniest things to me

the cat who lives at the vet clinic i volunteer at was mad yesterday because his dinner was half an hour late due to a busy day. he proceeded to go to all the (empty dw) garbage cans and tried to knock them over and started desperately scavenging for scraps of food because obviously no one loves him or cares about him and if he must eat garbage to survive then so be it

not food related, but one time my cat cried at me for 20 minutes before i worked out that the reason why she was upset was because there was a coat hanger on her favourite cushion

This is absolutely beautiful and changed my life, thank you so much. Please protect her from hangers at all costs

wow. am STORVING and humaines here making joke laugh at cate honger ?!

My cat is a social eater who is not food motivated at all, so I was baffled when I first got him because he didn’t seem to care about food but he would SCREAM at me for hours when I knew his bowl was full. Any time I went to double check that he did indeed have food, he’d book it to the bowl and snarf like his life depended on it, but as soon as I walked away he’d follow me screaming again.

Eventually I figured out that he just wanted a dining companion and was screaming about how we’re a family and families eat together, god damnit! I moved his food bowl under my computer desk and it fixed the problem. But if I’m ever out for more than 12 hours I’ll come home to find him in a passive-aggressive kitty huff because dinner has been ready for hours but he’s been trying to be considerate (unlike some humans) and waiting for me to eat it. 

My cats are indoor cats. Being indoor cats, they can’t go outside to hunt for food (mice, rats, birds, etc) to gift to my sister and I.

But they know that the kitchen has food. They know where the easily accessible cat food is. And obviously my sister and I are just Really Big Stupid Hairless cats.

So if my sister and I go without leaving our rooms for too long? My cats will sit outside our doors and scream for our attention, lead us to their food bowls, and then only stop the screaming and leading once they see us sit down at the table and eat something. Because they think we’re hungry.

Your cats are the sweetest beings on the Earth, it makes my heart warm knowing that they exist. They love you very much and they care so much, they want you healthy and happy and will make sure you don’t neglect yourself and oh god they are so perfect. Real pure love exists, I am happy to be alive today.

My neighbor is a hardcore drunk. Like, 9am and dude is drinking vodka, but he had a cat that’s pretty much his honest to god caregiver because I have seen this cat visibly screaming at this man to keep him from hurting himself and sometimes when he hasn’t been outside for a while, the cat will scream at my door until I go outside to knock on the door to check on him. Cats are literal angels.

I have a cat named a Kitty Pryde who has an extra thumb and these giant paws and while she’s not super bright she did learn that she likes being pet. So I must like being petted right? So if I’m watching TV alone she’ll come up and just with her giant paw gently stroke my arm or hand until I pet her back and she waits and pets me again and it goes on a while. Cats are angels.

My cat once stuffed my bath mat into the litter box

Mine wakes me up if I sleep in too long cuz she wants me to take my pills. Fiance said she was yelling at him all day yesterday. She stopped whwn I got home…and asked him if he tooks his meds. He hadn’t.

My girlie screams at me if she thinks I’m up past bedtime. Apparently this transfers to my new roommates too: Maeve led @katculator to her room, yelled until she was under the covers, then came back to the kitchen to do the same to me.

Story time- when my daughter was born, I was worried my anti-social female cat Angel, who’s afraid of everything and reacts kinda violently to even the smallest disturbance, would end up hurting her. One night when my girl was about 6mos old she woke up crying but we couldn’t hear her because for some reason her monitor had shut off and the door had drifted close. I was awakened by my usually timid scaredy cat Angel clawing me awake and yowling until I followed her to the baby’s room. She came in while I checked on her and when my baby had settled in to sleep again the cat chirped as if to say “mission completed”. She doesn’t socialize with any of us too much but whenever my little one is playing, Angel is always settled in a corner pretending to sleep.

Back when I worked night shift, my cat used to herd me to bed if it got past 9am and she saw I was not starting my bedtime routine. I’d get caught up in whatever I was doing and forget the time until she’d start meowing at me. She’d twine around my legs walk off a bit and turn to check if I was following; if I wasn’t, she’d meow again until I got up and followed her. and every time, she’d lead me to my bedroom and hop onto the bed, looking meaningfully at my direction until I laid down with her. She’s better at maintaining my sleep schedule than I am!

As I was reading this, my foster cat was jumping up and rubbing up against me and trying to sit on the computer. Just a menace of a cat. She is usually sweet and timid. However, I had just woken up and had not made sure her food bowl was full of fresh kibble which meant my morning was not complete. How dare.

your annual reminder:

however!

happy autism awareness/acceptance month! go tell your local autistic pal that they’re awesome! if you’re autistic, remember to practice some self-love!

One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.

My pronouns are I/me and the rest is for someone else to deal with because I have better things to do.

Very fond of macrolabels, like “queer”, that provide zero extra information. Is it genderqueer? Is it romantic/sexual orientation queer? Is it queer as in “none of your fucking business what’s in my pants and what I do with it and with whom”?

Pride month!

not to be dramatic but why is it so hard to hold a conversation. like I cannot do it in person!!! i have no idea what to say ever. it makes me feel so weird too, like why does everyone else know how to socialize and I do not!! where is my script on how to act and what to say. why did everyone else get one and I didn’t. Anyway can anyone relate pls say you can it’s getting hard out here irl idk what’s wrong with me

people think taking things literally is just like

when in my experience it's more like

...oh

yellow is generally the population’s least favourite colour which is interesting to me. i have a theory that yellow is generally more appealing to people the Less saturated and deep it is, the more warm and less cool it is, and that faded pale yellow is more pleasing to the eye than mustard. can you all participate in a casual experiment and tag or reply with which shade you like best from this yellow shade chart. i’m hypothesising daffodil will be popular as an answer

honestly i’m so glad that the landscape of social media has changed so much that autistic people can feel safe to joke abt their autism and relate to other autistic ppl thru it. this is what autism acceptance should be more about and i am not joking

This is what autism acceptance looks like
