Bisexual, pansexual, it’s the same thing it’s like being vegan and vegetarian.

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT normal for a Cerberus’s heads to fight with one another; this indicates anxiety or lack of proper enrichment.
Giant spiders are actually very social creatures, and should not be housed alone.
Provide your Sphinx with enrichment by answering its riddles. Though Sphinxes can be trained to attack those who answer incorrectly, they actually normally speak in riddles as a form of social play that is essential to their development and well-being.
If you cannot provide brimstone and a large pool of lava for bathing, don’t purchase a Hellhound! They are animals with very specific care needs and their health will suffer if they are not given the proper habitat. Likewise, most Hellhound kibble brands on the market do not meet the recommended daily requirement of damned souls for Hellhounds. Always check the labels!
The practice of putting blinders over the eyes of Basilisks to make them less dangerous is cruel. Basilisks should not be kept in enclosures where people other than expert caretakers normally come into view.
Many hippocampi enjoy pulling sea chariots, boats or inflatable floats and it can be a good source of enrichment and exercise. Make this activity fun for your hippocampus by rewarding it with treats such as fish and allowing it to participate as it wants to.
A labyrinth is NOT an appropriate habitat for a Minotaur!! Minotaurs need fresh grass and shade to lie down in to be happy. Also, a diet of only human flesh will cause malnutrition. Supplement your Minotaur’s diet of kidnapped youths with a source of fiber, such as hay!
Remember, that hatchling Roc is an adorable fluff ball now, but it will eventually become a fearsome elephant-sized bird of prey with a ravenous appetite and very demanding housing requirements. A pet should always be a well-researched commitment, not an impulsive decision.
While going into the wild and gaining a dragon’s trust is often romanticized, there are many dragons in search of a loving family much closer to home! Try looking into dragon rescue organizations near you.
Some Manticores need to be fed live prey; others, however, will accept prey that has been frozen and thawed. It depends on the individual.
Even smaller species of griffin need a lot of space. Domestic rock-griffins, though only the size of a cat, need room to fly and to build large nests. If you live in an apartment, it is better to adopt one of the smallest species, such as one of many types of song-griffins! Humming-griffins, however, though you may have seen cute videos on Instagram, should be avoided because they are not domesticated and their wild populations are endangered by the pet trade. It is best to admire their iridescent feathers in visits to accredited conservation organizations!

This photo of my brother's cat trying to jump on the dinner table at Christmas feels like a Normal Rockwell painting.
I really want to reblog your save Afghanistan post. How do I defend it properly?
Because for some instead of being upset about the women's rights violations, people say oh but when talking about the US gets involved again brown people get hurt so it bad no matter what. I'm tempted just to get mad at them because these are human beings being harmed but I want them to realize what is happening is horrible. I hate that damn trend of but insert *horrible thing* is part of x group's culture so we will be doing more harm then help by intervening. Especially when it comes to women's rights. Some are treating that as a don't be a white savior they'll sort it out themselves.
Please is there an way to tell them that behavior that horrible group is doing there is not normal and not part of the culture?
I posted this picture in another post, but I will post it with some others.
I’m the 1970’s, Afghanistan was well on its way to becoming a developed country with a progressive socialist government. From the pictures themselves, you wouldn’t guess that this would be Afghanistan. But I can tell you for a fact this is how my grandmother used to dress. ^^
Afghanistan has been well known for its geographical advantage, bordering six other countries including China, India, and Iran. Along with that, Afghanistan also has massive reserves of oil, minerals, and gems.
The Soviet Invasion within Afghanistan caused massive devastation to the country. And in an effort to fight off the soviets, the U.S. and Pakistan trained Afghan fighters (some of these fighters later becoming the Taliban) to fight the war.
During 9/11, the Taliban made the claims that they were harboring the leaders responsible for the tradgey (even though Bin Laden was caught in Pakistan). 2001 followed the U.S. Invasion into Afghanistan, where they spent 20 years, and billions in taxpayer money, fighting the Taliban until Biden withdrew the troops.
There is no doubt that Russia, the U.S., U.K., Pakistan, other affiliated countries, and even Afghanistan’s corrupt government contributed to the harm and deaths of Afghan people along with the destruction of their country and their culture. But even in the time that the U.S.A. was in Afghanistan, my cousins felt safe enough to never wear a burqa or even think about leaving their country in favor of a developed nation. Right now they are scrambling to apply for a Special Immigrant Visa, and currently outside of Kabul hiding for when the Taliban take control of it.
What the Taliban are doing right now represents no part of Afghan culture, and above else DOES NOT REPRESENT ISLAM.
The Taliban is able to influence so many people because they actively restrict education. They will specifically take young boys from their homes and to Pakistan or other areas where they will warp the teachings of Islam to fit their agenda until all that is left is a radical interpretation where women are turned into objects of possession within a violent patriarchy.
And know that the Taliban will keep girls and even some boys illiterate to avoid reading the Quran. To realize that what they are doing IS NOT ISLAM!!
If the Taliban really represented the culture of Afghanistan, why are 400,000 Afghan families displaced? Why are they wearing burqas and not the skirts and hairstyles they wore 50 years before? And why are they crying about their dead brothers and kidnapped sisters?
Afghanistan’s culture was taken away long ago, but the people do have remnants of what was left of it. But the Taliban will do what they can to destroy any remaining trace of Afghanistan’s recorded history and arts until they create a religious, “Islamic” state.
TL:DR — The Taliban do not represent Afghan culture and they do not represent Islam.
