"So there was NEVER a good ending! There was NEVER A TRUE ENDING FOR ME! I WAS ALWAYS DOOMED TO DEPRAVITY, AND GOD HAD RIGGED THIS WRETCHED GAME FROM THE DAMN START."

the delivery on "I was always doomed to depravity" gave me chills, why is this man so good at acting

Not to be a killjoy (though it is what I do best) but the unsafe and rough handling of a baby Pygmy hippo in a pretty substandard Thai zoo being meme-ed into something funny and cute really shows just how much groupthink plays into public perception of animal welfare.

Moo Deng shows avoidance, threat displays and stress around her keepers that are constantly man-handling her, blasting her with a hose and harassing her. The enclosure is mostly concrete, which is horrible for her soft feet. There looks to be some substrate but there doesn’t seem to be any areas for wallowing or deep water wading.

There’s also very easy access of this hippo to the public with no places to hide. I’d love if someone could shed more light on the enclosures but from what I’ve seen it’s not great.

Also the free contact and forcing into tubs that the keepers do is only going to create an avoidant and potentially aggressive and dangerous Pygmy hippo.

But the public happily overlook that because she’s cute. It’s a similar attitude with seals too.

Stop rewarding bad husbandry with clout. Baby animals deserve agency and respect and to grow up without getting harassed and feeling the need to defend themselves constantly.

white queers are always so damned certain that "true" queerness is for them & them alone. expressions of queerness from Black people (most notably, Black women & those percieved as women) that don't center whiteness & aren't tailored for white audiences are always, always pegged as being unbelievable. all this plus a heaping dose of thay classic "all bi women are dirty attention seeking liars" brand of biphobia. fuck off man

Here's This Year's Ultratober List! (or at least an attempt at one)

since there didn't seem to be a sign of another ultratober list, i tried making a list of my own, to share and practice around with everyone! remembering last years' list being based off characters and enemies, i thought it'd be interesting to have a more narrative (?) list this time, loosely forming some sort of timeline and a rough theme pattern

(if you have any questions about a prompt or anything, please ask! i'll answer asap)

the tags for this year are #ultratober and #ultratober24. i'll try to reblog as many pieces as i can

good luck, and most of all, have fun!

there's something very wrong with him
