The fact that Sherlock Holmes in the books canonically doesn’t believe that the Earth revolves around the Sun is friggin wild

this is perhaps the single greatest example of the level of shit Watson has to put up with on a regular basis

og sherlock holmes is ten times funnier than any adaptation I’ve ever seen any time someone tries to educate him he goes ‘no no no now I have that in my BRAIN forget that shit immediately’ bc he’s afraid that if he learns about stuff he doesn’t care about, he’ll use up all his focus and attention on it whether he wants to or not and forget stuff about crime, which is both insanely funny and also deeply relatable to me

my new roommate said that her last roommate had an eating disorder and then talked to me about her clean eating and weight loss goals and how she buys clothes that are a little snug to motivate her to lose more

and like honestly? i have anorexia but this is why i constantly talk about the dangers of the “health and fitness” industry and diet culture bc we have essentially normalized certain symptoms of disordered eating but it’s ok if it’s under the guise of health i guess???

like how is calling it “clean” eating NOT a way to moralize food

how is intermittent fasting NOT the same thing as skipping meals

how come when i buy clothes that don’t fit, it’s something i have to tell my therapist about because it means i am putting pressure on myself to fit into them, but if a “normal” person does it then it’s just motivation for them?

where is the fucking line???

and more importantly when are we going to start acknowledging that the entire world is pro-ana but that’s too harsh of a description so we slap some health buzzwords on it to make it palatable

when are we going to take responsibility for encouraging disordered behavior instead of labeling those of us with EDs as the crazy/imbalanced ones

your fucking Whole30 or keto or whatever “clean” diet you’re on is just as restrictive as the diets we create for ourselves due to our disorders. but we are the crazy ones, right

“The bragging was the worst. I hear this in schools all over the country, in cafés and restaurants, in bars, on the Internet, for Pete’s sake, on buses, on sidewalks; Women yammering about how little they eat. Oh, I’m starving, I haven’t eaten all day, I think I’ll have a great big piece of lettuce, I’m not hungry, I don’t like to eat in the morning (in the afternoon, in the evening, on Tuesdays, when my nails aren’t painted, when my shin hurts, when it’s raining, when it’s sunny, on national holidays, after or before 2 A.M.) I heard it in the hospital, that terrible ironic whine from the chapped lips of women starving to death. But I’m not hun - greeee. To hear women tell it, we’re never hungry. We live on little Ms. Pac-Man power pellets. Food makes us queasy, food makes us itchy, food is too messy, all I really like to eat is celery. To hear women tell it, we’re ethereal beings who eat with the greatest distaste, scraping scraps of food between our teeth with our upper lips curled.

For your edification, it’s bullshit.”

- Marya Hornbacher, Wasted (1998)

See also below Saturn’s moon, Titan. Mars has a blue horizon at sunset so it looks even more Earth-like in this image:

So it’s not quite snowing on Churyumov–Gerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, that’s the surface of a comet. That’s a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76p are a place.

If that isn’t the neatest shit I don’t know what is.

No-kill shelters be like: "This is Rover, he's 8 years old, half-blind, no teeth, and incontinent. He needs a home with a single woman because he's bitten so many men before. Haha isn't that funny, a real man hater! He might look like a common little mutt, but he's totally a purebred Basenjidoodle. His adoption fee is $1000. Do not bother applying unless you are home all day, but make six figures, and have a yard. You can't have any other pets!! And you better not have even THOUGHT about getting a dog from a breeder, or been NEAR an intact dog ever in your life. Also crates are ABOOS. You have to feed this one food or we'll show up and take your dog away. We're going to visit once a month every month to make sure you're following this strict guide. We will still legally own him, you're basically just leasing him from us. We don't believe in training, and he's only 7 lbs, but here's a $80 prong collar you need to purchase for him."

Reminds me of the time we fostered a 10 year old, HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE, totally blind, mostly deaf, chow mix with (badly healed) previously broken hips.

She has been an outdoor dog her entire life with 0 socialization, got out the yard one day, was hit by a car and sent to a shelter later. This rescue group picked her up and dropped her off with us to foster. We had 4 other dogs at the time and she had to be given her own room because she would snap and growl at anything she heard in her vicinity since she couldn't see it.

We had her for three days. Three days of this dog living in constant fear because she doesn't know where she is or who is near her, three days of her pissing and shitting all over herself because she couldn't squat because of her horrible hips, three days of agony for this poor dog.

My mom felt so bad for this poor thing, she paid the $500 adoption fee from the rescue group and this chow was legally ours. The next day my mother had her euthanized after taking her to a vet check. The vet said there was no hope this dog would live a happy and normal life with her issues, not to mention she was insanely old and had horrible arthritis and would pass soon anyways.

So after dropping $800 in adoption fees and vet fees, after giving this dog some relief, my mom was publicly executed on Facebook by the rescue group and all its allies. My mom was called a murderer and had everyone yelling at her saying that she "only killed the dog because it was inconvenient to care for". My mom cried for 2 weeks over euthanizing that dog. She wanted to save her, thats why she agreed to foster this unmanageable dog, and when she realized this dog was actively suffering, she spent HER OWN MONEY to end its pain. It killed her to put that dog down. Yet she was treated like a monster for doing the most humane thing.

My mom no longer fosters dogs since she has toddlers and a full time job, but she still makes weekly drives to transport dogs to new homes/rescue groups. Sometimes these drives are 8 hours round trip. She does it all on her days off because she truly loves dogs and wants each and every one to find a home and she does it all for free.

Not every dog can or should be saved. With all the money spent on one unadoptable dog, we easily could have saved 3 or 4 totally adoptable ones. Rescue groups need to focus on saving what they can, rather than trying to save every dog on Earth and causing more to suffer in the process.

This is why I do kinda side-eye shelters who use “he’s been adopted and returned to us five times” as a kind of sob story selling point. Like yeah, sometimes it’s just because people are dumb and don’t know what they’re getting into, but if five vetted people couldn’t handle this animal’s issues then I’m starting to wonder if that animal is worth attempting to adopt out.

Like, how many people have been put off adopting animals altogether bc they ended up being given an animal riddled with difficult issues. And I can guarantee that those failed adopters don’t come back to that shelter for a different animal, because I have yet to encounter a shelter that doesn’t lowkey shame failed adopters.
