New year drink! Imported Milk Concentrate Black Tea with Rose Aroma ft. Cat

Location: foody mart

Price: 2.?? Cad

Happy New 2022 everyone, aka 2021 part 2, aka 2020 part 3! Let’s hope it’s not as disastrous as the last, as low as that bar may be.

Fancy fancy name, fancy fancy bottle. Hopefully, fancy fancy taste. Start off the year right. I’m calling it - the outcome of this drink will determine the fortunes of the coming year. Let’s see how lucky we are.

The second I opened it, air escaped like a bubbly. God I hope not. It smells, quite obviously, as an artificial, but strong tea. Sweet. Very sweet smell. It borders on nauseating, but only a little; that could very well be because I left it for 3 ish months. My b

Taste. I mean. It’s not great. But it’s not bad either. It’s… okay. It’s just very okay. Mediocre, in that it has an undeniable tea flavour, but that’s pretty much all you can say about it. The sweetness level is good though. The texture is a bit more - veered off course. In one sense milk is present, but like, a watery milk? What is “milk concentrate”?

6.10.2022 Casey notes: did the drink successfully foretell the fortunes of the year? Well, of course the year hasn’t ended yet, but so far it’s been not bad, personally speaking. Might even call it “alright”. On the global scale we have a war, an energy crisis, continued housing issues, monkey pox???, the queen died (I’m not a royalist but. I did like her, somewhat, because of the strong grandmotherly impression I have of her, and I believe you can grieve for something you didn’t particularly care for or even actively dislike, because there’s nuance in this world, and it is human to grieve things we didn’t even like because loss is loss), several toppling democracies, the hottest summer followed by what they say will be the coldest winter, forests on fire, hurricanes sweeping through, you can’t drink rain water anymore because there’s plastic in it, they killed Freya the Walrus :’(((, Betty White didn’t make it, and all sorts of other things mixed in with some good things. Which. Is bad. But, is it worse than any other year? Is it as bad as 2020?? It’s all relative. And I’ve got a dog, so.

Watching how two dogs who love each other will sometimes still nip each other on the ear, bug them while they sleep, etc... watching how cats will snuggle with their buddy all day and then paw-smack 'em in the face, chase them, play-fight...

Makes me, as a fellow social mammal, feel better about my urge to be incredibly annoying to another human sometimes. Like, yeah. Of course I wanna bug you. Of course it's fun to annoy you. We're social creatures and annoyance can be part of play, something we all need. And I watch these dogs who get their ears nipped, cats who get smacked out of a nap, and despite BEING annoyed, they don't stop loving their packmate. After they finish play-fighting, they're back to snuggling and grooming and sleeping together. BEING annoyed is also just part of being in a social group and having relationships... and that's okay. It doesn't erase love or necessarily make them mad or affect them in the long term... a loved one being annoyed with me is a temporary feeling that's normal for social creatures. An annoyance that wouldn't be possible WITHOUT that love

#and much like dogs and cats #we have ways of saying 'not right now i don't wanna play grr get away for real'#which is when the deescalation kicks in

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.

I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!

Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:

🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.

🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.

🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)

🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.

🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.

🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!
