Kitten Night Farts

this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it

What part of 'the wellbeing of workers has an impact on the work they do' is hard for some people to understand? Like even if you don't have a single fraction of common decency or care for other peoples' welfare, and don't care whether they live or die, you should still care whether you live or die. You don't have to be morally against human suffering in order to believe in workers' rights.

An overworked truck driver falls asleep on the wheel and swerves on you in traffic? You're gonna die. An overworked nurse doing a 24 hour shift gets two patients confused? You're gonna die. A bridge collapses under you because the building materials provided were dogshit, and none of the builders wanted to speak out because the one to voice a complaint is going to get fired, and they all have kids to feed? You're going to die.

You literally do not have to care about other people. Nobody is demanding you to give a shit whether anybody else lives or dies. You just have to aknowledge that if the people touching your food, building the roads you drive on and buildings you go into, and altogether work in putting together every single thing that you need in order to live, are dying on the job, that's gonna hurt you too.

Being served like a God and fed with human sacrifice does not make you immortal like one.

I keep repeating, “Self-control is just empathy with your future self” and it’s honestly saving my life right now.

As long as Jeff Sessions in not confirmed, she is the acting AG. Call your senators. Protest sessions.

well trump fired her anyways….but no surprise there. 

Not only did fire her…he replaced her with someone who wasn’t in the line of succession. Zach Fardon was supposed to be next in line. Who the fuck is this Boente guy? 

The daughter of our first Black President protesting the next regime, amazing

The Resistance is strong!

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?

i’m waiting for someone to write epic meta on why the reason bucky is so popular with female fans is bc his storyline being about being stripped of agency and personal autonomy resonates particularly with female experiences

OKAY BUT I’VE BEEN MEANING TO TALK ABOUT WOMEN AND MARVEL VILLAINS FOR A LONG TIME THOUGH

What happened when strangers saw a little boy shivering outside without a coat.  See the full video here.

Lupita Nyong’o on her perparation for the whipping scene for 12 Years a Slave.

Oh my lord why isn’t she talked about more. I love her. Tired of hearing about these wack ass actresses as opposed to this gem. This is so powerful. And the fact she felt so empathetic and understand as a black woman how bad it was. Ugh.

 Puppy Reacts to Girl’s Crying

INTERESTING DOG THING, they’ve actually done studies to test the ability of a dog’s empathy and if they only react to their owners grief or if they’re capable of empathizing with some one they never met. and so they had an owner with their dog and a stranger come in , and the stranger would make crying sounds and recognizable distress movements. and EVERY TIME, the cuite little doggies left the safety of their owners side to go and try and cheer up this  crying stranger :W: Dogs really do love EV ERYONE
