Happy First Birthday to Figaro!

It’s been so much fun learning about Fig in his first year of life. He’s more mature in some ways, but in many others he’s the same goofy baby I brought home last year. Who knows what our future holds, but we’re enjoying every day to the fullest. He shows a lot of promise and, most importantly, is becoming a dog I love hanging out with.

Today we went to one of his favorite hiking spots and he had the most fun getting filthy and zooming around like crazy. Then Fig got to pick out some new toys at the store, got weighed (93lbs), and made several new friends. He didn’t want to let go of that octopus once he found it. One of the things he’s discovered this year is a love for apple pastries, so he got one of his own. Now he’s napping hard after such a big day.

oh what a sweet beautiful BABY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIG!!!!

Someone in Idaho just lit a brush fire to set an ambush for responding firefighters. Multiple people are shot and some are still stuck out there. I don’t even have words.

Two people confirmed dead, others injured. And there may be multiple shooters. Situation is still ongoing.

They’re saying this could turn into a multi-day incident if the situation is not handled soon.

The fire is still burning.

The Sheriff has basically said it’s now shoot to kill if the shooter(s) is found.

Idaho is one of the centers of the American Redoubt. A 'christian nationalist' movement with origins in nazi and white supremacist thought and militia shit. To these people, anyone from Census clerks to forestry workers to Postal workers might be part of "The Fed/ZOG"

A domestic terror movement called "The Order" inspired by the Turner Diaries and an offshoot of the Aryan Nations was headquartered there around 40 years ago. Members of the group were also implicated in the assassination of Jewish talk radio host Alan Berg.

If it's not 'just' sovcit shit, there's a high likelihood of it being nazi shit. And that tends to get copycats.

An idiot robin has built a nest on top of our garage door motor. The nest was constructed so the chain that drives the door is actually a part of the nest, and if we open or close the garage door, the whole thing is going to get torn apart. So I guess the garage door is staying open for as long as it takes for these eggs to hatch and these birds to leave the nest.

My wife has set up a camera to continuously monitor the situation.

Wife: Maybe we should set up some padding beneath where they'll fall out of the nest? Normally they fall onto grass, not concrete. Me: Seems like we're really coddling these birds. Wife: Well, yeah. Me: I just don't want you to get invested. Wife: Way, way too late for that. I'm all in.

So we're keeping the garage door open for a few weeks, I guess. Whenever I go to use the car, the robin flies away from the nest and watches me cautiously to see whether I'm going to kill her babies, and I can't help but find that a little bit rude of her.

Pictured here, the robin hopping into her nest to settle in for some egg warming.

Two of the three eggs have hatched, these are some ugly babies.

Feeding the babies!

All three are now hatched, here's more feeding time.

And here they are up close, in their resting state.

Do you find chihuahuas repulsive?

Yeah

Nah

I actually love them critters

Chihuahuas can be some of the sweetest and cuddliest little fuckers you can imagine. If you've met a nasty one, consider that very likely it was not properly socialized or ever treated properly like a dog (many aren't and it's A Problem), and also that they're very small and you are very large, and that makes you potentially terrifying.

And if you can't love a lil guy who looks like this, I just don't know what to tell you.

I mean the joke here is that's exactly why Irish nationalists supported the zionist movement, a fact original OP seems unaware of:

You know, I thought that might be a part of it.

A part of that was because most of the Irish people I know who either support or are neutral on Zionism also want Irish reunification (and in a 'live together' way, not an 'oppress the Ulster Protestants' way)

Another part of it was Kneecap, the band. I've said before, but my thoughts upon hearing that an Irish band called Kneecap had called for support of terrorism was 'I wonder how badly they want to bomb Northern Ireland'...

For reference, this is a map of terrorist attacks in Europe from 1970-2016. The attacks in Northern Ireland were mostly carried out by a mix of pro-English and pro-Irish extremists. Northern Ireland still, to this day, has a separate terror threat level to the national terrorism threat level, although for the past year this has been the same as the National level (which also applies to Northern Ireland)

And I don't think people on Tumblr who aren't either Irish or British fully understand that Northern Ireland isn't a simple political issue. There is no 'It should just be taken away from the UK and given to Ireland' solution. Quite frankly, nobody outside of Northern Ireland should have a say what country Northern Ireland is in, aside from obviously, if there's a vote then Ireland would also need to accept them in. But there's a lot of 'there's a clear good and bad side' simplification here, and there isn't. There almost never is a clear good and bad side when you're dealing with international politics.

I can tell you that for at least one very prominent Irish voice, it's because of the Good Friday Agreement, and that's Hozier.

Shortly after 10/7 I saw him in concert, and he chose to speak on the matter. He started by acknowledging Hamas was wrong ("we all saw the horror that occurred"), and then talked a bit about his family. Apparently, even though he was born near and raised in Dublin, his mom is actually from Northern Ireland. And his view is that we need a bilateral ceasefire and peaceful mediation, which he explicitly said he believed could be done because he lived through the tail end of the Troubles and saw it could happen.

Which, I mean. I appreciate the sentiment, but it feels very naive, because the Ingredient X here is that nobody involved in the Troubles wanted to have to fight. Like, the NRA existed, but even they weren't saying "it's the duty of every Irish person to go buy a knife and cut off the heads of the English." (Which is a localization of a real statement from the head of Hamas. And you'll notice he didn't fucking say "Zionists," he said "Jews" and "Jewish state.") The ultimate goal was peace, not annihilation.

I think many Irish need to remember this. The Troubles were fucking horrifying and complex and there was way more to them than anyone could fit in a Tumblr post. But there is one crucial factor that makes the entire comparison fail, and it's that Ireland hadn't been hijacked by a death cult that gleefully proclaimed it was fine if every last Irish person died as long as every English person did too.

men fabricated the idea that they are the default sex to compensate for their biological inferiority and general superfluousness

this is not just the “natural order” this is the language of a patriarchal culture

Omg no, you are wrong on so many levels and as a linguist this makes me ache something terrible. In my linguistics class in undergrad, we actually made fun of people who think like you along these lines and for good reason, because you are wholly ignorant and are choosing to spin narratives about things and fields which you know completely nothing about yet pretend you do.

  1. She: This word evolved naturally from Old English from seo/heo which were just words to refer to feminine-female people evolving from Proto-Germanic words meaning ‘that/there’. He as a word evolved from the same ideas but Proto-Germanic words for ‘this/here’. Your idea of “patriarchal language” further falls apart when you compare this part of English to other Germanic languages, of which English is related, the words in German for he and she are “er” and “sie”, completely unrelated. So it is by clear happenstance, not some patriarchal conspiracy that the words “he” and “she” in English have similar form. 
  2. Woman: Oh god this one always gets my goat when people go for this one. Man did not used to mean “male”, man used to mean “humanity/human being”, the old words in Old English for male adult person and female adult person were “werman” and “wifman” respectively, we can see this relation in words like werewolf and wife as being the remnants of the base “wer-” and the base “wif-”. Woman evolved phonologically from the word “wifman” by natural processes where the ‘f’ sound dropped and the ‘i’ became lax. Man dropped its “wer” stem for reasons mostly unknown but I can guarantee have nothing to do with “patriarchy” because phonological change has no basis in that.
  3. Female: Male and Female actually come etymologically from two completely different words. Male comes from Old French “masle” which meant masculine, while Female came from Old French as well “femella” which meant young woman. This is another case, just like he and she, where the words coincidentally ended up looking similar without having any direct correlation in historical linguistic processes to make them as such.
  4. Human: This word etymologically derives from Proto-Indo-European “ghomon” which means earthly being as opposed to heavenly being which would refer to gods. You have some small glimmer of hope here in that the word does eventually branch off into the word for “man” in some languages but this is still too small of a precedent to base any conspiratorial thinking like you are doing off of.
  5. Person: This one offends me the most, simply because I love the fuck out of Etruscan language and your continued ignorance just irks me at this point. Person derives from “persona” from Latin which meant the same meaning, which ultimately derived from “phersu” Etruscan for ‘mask’ as Etruscans would often have theatre performers use masks to give identity to the performers. So never once did “person” have any meaning to do with “son”. So yes, this IS the “natural order” or language.

Please never proselytise your faulty ideology and misandrist thinking within speaking about word origins and morphology again, as unless you actually do fact checking, I will school the everloving hell out of you, stay in your lane.

thank god for the explanation above

and the insult pussy is from the word pusillanimous, meaning coward, not the slang term for female genitalia, which comes from the Old German/Norse word for vulva, puse, which is also not the source of calling cats pussy, which comes from the Germanic root word for cat pūs, which is also not where we get the term sourpuss from because that comes from the Irish word for lip or mouth, pus.

The history of words is often more interesting than whatever one can deduce by just looking at the modern words.

Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys.

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something

I think y’all are missing the point here.

You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around

I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”

like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.

this post is the perfect summation of tumblr’s reading comprehension and critical thought abilities

Reblogging because there’s a lot of new people on here and you need some context for the jokes.
