‘Temporary’ Names

Vet clinics often have litters of kittens to raise. Either they’re too young for a shelter, too sickly, or the clinic intends to adopt them out when they’re big enough. Whatever the reason, nurses often end up raising kittens and giving them ‘temporary’ names. 

The intention of these temporary names is that if you give the kitten a stupid name, you have something to call it other than ‘the middle black male’, but because it’s a stupid name you wont get emotionally attached and end up keeping it. Again. 

Which is how some nurses end up with cats that have names like ‘Flea bus’ and ‘Trash bag’. 

thebestlaurenmontgomery: I’m cutting it close for SDCC announcements this year, but we’ll be doing our #voltronlegendarydefender panel tomorrow, July 20th, 10:15-11:15am in room 6BCF. Come see me, @jds_77@bex_tk @rhysiedarby @jeremyshada and the first time appearance of Josh Hamilton our story editor. We’ll also be doing a signing the following day where you can get an exclusive poster that continues the parade of Voltron characters from previous con signing posters! That’ll be from 11-12 in Autograph Alley 05.

There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.

forget about "imagine being loved by me" hozier said "it came easy darling, as natural as another leg around you in the bed" and it sent me on a month-long yearning streak

Coming back to tumblr and trying to unrepress my memories from when i was like 14 to relearn how to communicate with all you heathens

He is Leng Jun and his paintings are considered the most realistic ones in the world. See why:

she’s so cute!!

Another try at my fem merlin since my style has changed a bit. This time with a closer study of Colin Morgan's facial features. Can't decide what hair she would have but i think this shorter style would be good towards the beginning of the series and it grows out over time. Maybe she got something in it and had to cut it off?

Also really tried to think up a distinct sillhoutte for her that would be distinctive from Morgana and Gwen but still fit the shows medieval-ish aesthetic. Still cant decide how to encorporate the neckercheif in a way that still looks cute and not like shes a cowboy....

I feel like this happens often with music and arts. People only listens to the cute, romantic songs, or don't actually pay attention to the lyrics and the actual message, which is imo kinda disrespectful to the author.

"How sad it's that people suffers, but maybe they'll be happy even in adversity", but that's the thing. They! Shouldn't! Be! Suffering! And in the arts that can reflect at these tragic, lovely stories; but it's on us to actually think those over critically. Every story that gets told gets told for a reason. So, please, if you have the time, try to choose a random song you like and think about it. I promise it'll be worth it.

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.
