It’s so messed up that Coca Cola is one of the quintessential symbols of the US globally, a drink sold across the world and known for being refreshing and delicious, but if you actually go to the US and drink it, it tastes like ass.
I’m going to be honest. Zero empathy for formerly trans masculine detransitioners who wax poetic about how testosterone made them sooo ugly and they just weren’t prepared for it and how the evil trans cult destroyed their feminine beauty. That’s not testosterone’s fault, that’s not trans people’s fault. That’s a genetic fault. Take it up with your bald-headed daddy. Get a toupee and get a grip.
I can’t believe the Voltron crisis lasted only two years. Seven seasons in two years. Deranged. Awful time to be online. PEAK shipping discourse. And the evil is defeated.
I understand the confusion in the notes yes the nightmare was incredibly short lived and yet it felt eternal
it is eternal because everything we are dealing with in fandom now comes from Voltron. the very concept of Anti and Pro comes from Voltron.
wait I forgot about that, that’s really when it started. Oh we are fucked
my toxic trait is that i get unreasonably annoyed when people are wrong about pit bulls
“pit bulls can only be 30-50 lbs” literally not true. yes that’s the average, but you will find apbts that weigh more or less than that. mayday was 75 lbs and is one of the most prolific stud dogs in the breed’s history
“pit bulls were bred to be guard dogs” nope.
“pit bulls were nanny dogs” NOPE.
“it’s all in how you raise them, if a pit bull acts aggressively towards other dogs it’s because it was abused” not even close to being true
“my dog is a 175 lb pit bull” somebody lied to you
I had been raised on the nanny myth. What’s the truth?
as unpalatable as it is, pit bull type dogs were in fact originally developed for dog fighting. specifically after bull baiting was outlawed, smaller crosses between working bulldogs (similar to today’s american bulldog) and terriers became popular as fighting dogs.
the earliest mention of “nanny dogs” i could find is one staffordshire bull terrier breeder who claimed (with no evidence) that staffies were often called “nursemaids dogs”. this was during the 70s iirc? i could be wrong about the date, but it was recent. there is nothing in the very well documented history of these dogs to suggest that they were ever actually used this way.
they are often very good with children. dogfighters, especially during the breed’s early history, often retired their fighting dogs to be family pets after their fighting career was over, so they were expected to be gentle and patient with children, but they were never used as “nannies” or referred to that way
worth noting that you should never leave small children alone with any dog, especially not a powerful energetic dog like a pit bull
if you like strawberry shortcake or care bears, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion’s website! she never got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day.
she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died— until in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of strawberry shortcake, care bears, and the get along gang. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) she inspires me so much as an artist! it would mean a lot if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!
Imagine saying “where sweets are baked, not bought” about the decade that invented blue raspberry
This is so funny. The 90s had the most absolutely heinous hyper processed candies. Unchallenged champion of checkout counter bullshit.
We were obsessed with making every sweet a powder, a goo, novelty shaped, or unbearably sour. Often some combination of the above. 90s sweets were utterly ridiculous and it was fantastic.
