Look at these heavy puppers!

They're weighed plushies, which is nicer to hold than I realized. I just got them because I backed the production launch on Kickstarter and I wanted to support getting more regular north American animals as plushies lol (and the artist) they're actually really well made too, and feel really nice, and I'm unexpectedly thrilled.

Also!

Beans!

(It's a real product line now called "Weighed wildlife" by an artist named Nathanael Manns, fyi. They also have like otters, bison, Raven and lynx and more but I am biased to doggo XP)

#cuuuute #beans!!!

Your “art” is lazy as hell and made specifically for your financial consumption and it’s painfully obvious. You’re a perfect little capitalist piggy. Do better.

You think I’m perfect? 🥺

A 28-year-old motorcyclist died in Washington State on Friday afternoon because a dipshit Tesla driver rear-ended him at speed. A Snohomish man, 56, was commuting in his 2022 Tesla Model S when he activated the car’s camera-based advanced driver assist system and according to his statements to police, began looking through his phone. With nobody paying attention to the car’s actions, the Tesla software ignored Jeffrey Nissen on his motorcycle and continued on at speed. The car rear-ended the two-wheeler, Nissen was flung from the bike, and his life ended pinned underneath the electric car, where he was still lodged when police arrived to the scene.

Tesla claims another life.

Reminder that even if you are personally aware of how dangerous Tesla vehicles are and vow to never ride in one, they can still kill you.

My own driving habits have changed around them. I always give Teslas extra space, avoid following them directly, and expect them to stop or swerve suddenly without notice.

Cannot count the times I've pulled up next to a Tesla at freeway speed, noticed the driver playing on their phone. Tap the horn. They look up with surprise.

Please, don't be that guy.

Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.

I just want to take the funny looking foal home. He's like the opposite of those overbred seahorse arabs.

And I'd let him grow a tail. Obviously.

what do you mean by "99.99% of domestic cats have no breed ancestry"? surely they come from something? or is General Cat a thing?? i am so curious

this is an African wildcat. it’s domestic relative, Felis catus, is what we have in our houses. THAT is where all cats come from. 

when we spread from Africa, so did domesticated cats. in different countries/climates, feral populations developed traits to help them survive, or genetic quirks unique to the region (the name for this is landrace = local genetically related population adapted to that particular landscape). as an example, on the Isle of Man a genetic quirk of the population is the occasional shortened or ‘Manx-type’ tail.

then Animal Fancy popped into existence a couple hundred years ago as a hobby, and people started deliberately breeding cats with unusual or exaggerated traits to win ribbons at conventions. this is when ‘breeds’ became a thing - cats with suitable traits were plucked from randombred populations to be incorporated into closed and registered genetic groups. and so (to go back to that earlier example) a handful of short-tailed landrace cats from the Isle of Man were selected by cat fanciers to become a breed, the Manx cat.

now keep in mind, that doesn’t automatically make all randombred cats on the Isle of Man part of the Manx breed! only the select individuals chosen as the genetic foundation + their pedigreed ancestors would be considered Manx.

that’s why the cat pictured above, despite sharing a shortened tail + place of origin with Manx cats, has no breed origin.

any modern cat breeder worth their salt will require a spay/neuter contract when selling kittens, so there isn’t much genetic mixing between purebred and randombred populations. the purebred population of cats is extremely small, and the randombred population unfathomably massive, so yes: 99.99% of cats have no breed origin.

if you don't know the direct ancestry of your adopted/rescued cat it is EXTREMELY unlikely for it to be anything other than randombred, even if it shares traits with a breed. most colourations/mutations/traits found in breeds also exist in randombred populations. and yes, this post is an extremely long-winded way of saying your large fluffy cat is not part Maine Coon.
