tell me this wouldnt happen

No no.... Gary Jr. 😂

❤️🌺 New Year are coming!

Okay but imagine married trolls having rings like hugtime bracelets but they’re kisstime rings!!! ❤️

Yes!!

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Wow… I didn’t realise how tired I was until now…” Poppy sighed as the newlyweds floated around the dancefloor to a beautiful strings instrumental provided by the classical trolls. 

“It’s been a huge day,“ Branch agreed, gently stroking the back of her hair. “Take a moment to rest, my love.” Poppy didn’t argue when he eased her head down onto his shoulder and he took the lead, swaying them gently around the floor and taking her weight off her feet.  

“We have approximately… 3 minutes and 25 seconds before we have to switch back into party mode,” Branch chuckled, then sighed as the reality of that thought sunk in. He rested his head a little on top of hers, wishing this beautiful moment in time would last longer. It had been a massive day for both of them, and as happy as Branch was right at that moment, his social interaction quota was well and truly exhausted for the day, and old habits couldn’t be helped. All he wanted in the world now was to scoop up his bride and take her home. 

Poppy wrapped her arms around him and sighed softly into his neck; savouring his warmth, his smell, his big protective arms enveloping her. She was so utterly content. Then a cheeky thought crossed her mind and she smirked.

“I can’t wait to get back to the bunker…” she said lowly in his ear, and grinned when she felt him instinctively clutch the back of her dress. 

“Half an hour…” he said almost immediately. “Half an hour and we’re out of here, Mrs Branch…. or so help me Hair….” And she giggled as he swung her around for one final spin.

It’s soo cute 🥺😍♥️

“I can’t be vegan, I love cheese”

Dairy industry is as evil as meat. No less harm for animals. Does it look natural that calf can’t drink milk so you can taste your piece of cheese? 

GO VEGAN. 

WRONG

That calf is wearing a nose tag. Nose tags are put on calves so that they are able to stay with their mothers longer, but are unable to nurse. They don’t NEED to nurse as they get older, they just get greedier and pushier and will bash up the cow’s udder and bruise it with their noses.

This nose-tag is so that calves can stay with their mothers, their mothers can remain pain-free and healthy, and nobody is stressed.

Educate yourselves you ignorant fucking tarts.

…really? You don’t think it might have anything to do with the milk being stolen for human consumption? At all? Not even a tiny bit?

Militant vegans can fuck right off

Based on fur texture and face shape, that calf is at least six months old, probably older.  Calves can survive without actual cow milk even at three months, though older is better (calves weaned that early are usually fed a sort of formula for another couple months).

Also, nose tags like that one don’t go through the cow’s septum.  They basically work like those fake septum rings for humans.

In addition to weaning the calves, another use for nose tags is protecting non-lactating cows.  Sometimes weanlings or even adult cows will suck on themselves or other non-lactating cows; this can cause internal teat scarring bad enough to prevent that teat or teats from ever working.  I’ve seen this happen, and it’s ugly, probably at least somewhat painful, and, if bad enough, would lead to the cow being slaughtered at a very young age because she can’t produce milk, has chronic mastitis, and/or can’t be milked with automatic milking equipment.  So, nose tags actually prevent animal cruelty.

Also, calves will suck on anything remotely oblong (and attempt to eat literally anything), even if they are being adequately fed or overfed.  Often they will suck on other calves’ ears, and, since ears are longer than teats and cows have upper as well as lower teeth in the back of their mouths, many calves get bites on their ears, which often become severely infected.  I’m not sure if nose tags would work there, because physics—a non-toxic but bad-tasting ear paint would be better—but yeah, letting a calf put anything it wants in its mouth is not always a good idea.

reblogging for educational purposes.

reblogging for people being schooled

This was the funniest argument about false cruelty I have read.. Thank you. 

I love this for 2 reasons: Most people don’t realize that in farming areas agriculture/horticulture/animal husbandry is part of public school education from as early on as 7th grade. (Though I remember dissecting cow eyes in 4th grade science sooo) I assure you fifteen year old farm kids know more about what constitutes animal cruelty in farms than thirty year old vegans with, or without an agenda. 

Also that if you really want good quality beef/pork/eggs/milk/etc you don’t abuse your animals. Ever. That’s not the point and if you want to make any kind of money off your career choice, you are going to treat those creatures better than you treat yourself. You’ll call a vet five times for an infection in your herd before you visit the hospital for a missing foot on your own leg. 

So. Yeah. Watch out, because we’re getting internet access these days. We’re on tumblr too. 

P.S. The immigrant workers farming your supermarket produce have no health care or legal protection, and the Bolivians farming your 365 Organic Quinoa can’t afford to eat it. But PLEASE won’t someone think of the poor baby cows who won’t get off the tit?!

Also this is a LOT nicer than what mother cows do to calves that won’t be weaned. You know what mother cows do to calves that won’t wean? kick them in the head. Now I don’t know about vegans, but I’d rather have a nose tag that discouraged me from injuring my mother (because calves that don’t wean tend to chew on udders and make mother cows bleed) rather than being kicked in the head.

“I have seen chickens skeletonize a mouse I KNOW SHIT.”

I’m sorry, what? What??? WHAT??? you can’t just leave it there please explain @thehornedwitch

Happy to explain! See, chickens are omnivorous. They eat bugs, plants, and meatstuffs. Y'know how crows and ravens and things eat meat? Well, chickens too. Ours had a particular fondness for ham when someone accidentally put it into the bucket of good scraps we set aside for the chickens. A bucket we tried to keep as meat-free as possible, because few things are more terrifying than a chicken looking you in the eyes as it scarfs down ham. Anyway, back to the mouse. One day i was doing Chicken Chores, like gathering eggs, putting out grain, emptying the bucket of greens, etc, when a mouse runs across the pen. All at once, eight or so chickens stop dead, look at it, and SWARM. Now I’m six at this point in time and developing a healthy fear of chickens, and so do nothing. By the time the chickens are done, all that is left of the mouse is its bones. I left the chicken pen very, very quickly. Chickens crave meat. They were dinosaurs. They did not forget that they were dinosaurs. They will also cannibalize each other with reckless abandon. Sometimes we just had to remove one chicken to its own private pen away from the others because no matter what we did, that specific one always tried to eat the other chickens. We had one that really liked other chicken’s eyes. Bear in mind, our pens ensured each chicken had about five to six square feet all its own if you managed to space every chicken out evenly, we never locked them in teensy pen things, and fed them LOTS. These chickens just really, really wanted to maim. Chickens that are not Buff Orpingtons are the devil. Buff Orpingtons are sweethearts. If you must have chickens, have that kind. And never get Guineas. Guineas are SATAN INCARNATE. THEY SMELL FEAR.

Holy shit, I dont think I’ll ever use chicken as an insult again. 

Holy Shit, same here that is terrifying

Will I’m using it as a compliment

I love farm animals.

“Chickens crave meat. They were dinosaurs. They did not forget that they were dinosaurs.”

If you’ve ever looked a chicken in the eye you know that they don’t just remember; they’re patiently awaiting the day they become dinosaurs again. 

@kedreeva

I have reblogged this before because watching farmers school vegans is always hilarious, but now we’re into birds, specifically fowl, and I have got stories.

I had to give my turkey an antibiotic injection once upon a time, and she turned the needle puncture into a six inch by three inch hole in her back overnight as she attempted to eat herself because apparently turkeys find themselves to be delicious. She had to spend 3 months duct taped into a tea towel (the bandages underneath cleaned and replaced daily, mind you) until it healed because she would not stop ripping the bandages off to continue consuming herself.

Your chickens strip a mouse to the bone? Mine draw and quarter them and run around with the parts shrieking. My peacocks grab mice, beat them to death on the ground with this insanely fast back and forth head twisting motion, and then swallow them whole. You would not think an entire adult mouse would fit in their face, and you would be wrong.

I knew a guy that used to regularly post photos of the 5-6′ long Copperhead snakes his peafowl would destroy. And I don’t mean kill, I mean destroy. These venomous snakes would get into the pens and the peas would just peck them into oblivion like nbd.

Fowl didn’t just used to be dinosaurs. They are still dinosaurs.

Thankfully they are small dinosaurs

and we can just tape them into tea towels if we have to

BEGGING for a Jurassic Park reboot where farmers run the place instead of brogrammer scientists, and the raptors frequently get scolded and taped into tea towels

Y'all! This post took a crazy turn. Read it all and enjoy the ride!

I am actually crying right now this is terrifying information

I just want them to be together forever 💕

"Why do you watch kid shows rather than stuff for adults?"

Because kids shows have:

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow wow wow wow wow!

I love it when other people use Bible verses to make a point! (I'm not being sarcastic by the way, I just don’t know how to word it better 😅) It makes them well rounded and seems to show that they do a lot of research and not only listen to what they hear. I always applaud those people 👏

But... The problem with using a Bible as evidence is that most times (I've noticed) that people don't look at the whole section and just pick and choose what they want to use as evidence. This Gentlemen right here did the same thing I am sad to report. Even though he was just making the point that you can't pick and choose... That is what he did.

I'm not trying to hate, so please hear me out before you start scrolling past this, hating on it, cussing me out, Ect.

In Ephesians 5, he skips right to 22. The section on ”Instruction to Christian Households” starts at 21. Verse 21 states, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (NIV). It's not a one way relationship. Ephesians 5:22-24 how to submit to your husband, Ephesians 5:25-33 explains how the man is to submit to his wife! https://www.bible.com/bible/1/eph.5.21-33.kjv 3 verses to the ladies and 8 for the men. It mentions that women to respect her man and for the men to love their women like they love God. Men and women have a hard time respecting one another. The wife talks to their friends about how she wished she married that other boy in high school and gossiping about their husband, while the husband tells his friends that she is a bitch and ruins all his fun. You married them because you loved them; love is not throwing poison at the other while their back is turned.

Now for the second verse, he uses. He gets that from Exodus 22:16-17. I have heard this verse spreading around on the internet, but never looked at it myself. I finally did today using my NIV Bible, and it reads, ” if a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged toe married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.” Interesting. No word of rape... I looked at other versions and they all said the same relative thing. The only one I could find that was close to ”rape” was the LLX and BBE from this source: https://www.biblestudytools.com/exodus/22-16-compare.html They didn't use the word rape (If you find me the version that says rape, plz tell me! I want to see it and not give bad information). Every verse is implying that both parties agreed on the intercourse (by multiple versions of the Bible). And that after that happens, the man must take the virgin as his wife! It did not say anything about cutting her price in half and selling her to anyone who would take her! The man that took her virginity had to be responsible for taking her as a wife. The title right above that verse is ”Social Responsibility” in my NIV Bible.

I'm glad he is using the Bible to back himself up! He just didn't look to far into it.... Which he told us Christians not to do... I know that most of everyone does it, but that's because we are humans and make mistakes too. And God knows that, but loves us anyway.

Thank you for taking your time to read ♥️

Me: Lets see what that Christian website I used to visit when I was 15 is up to now

The Christian website:

Me: Oh.

Shit like this used to make me angry but now it just makes me deeply sad.

Purity culture isn’t just about sex. It also extends to an intense preoccupation with everything you do and everything you watch and every piece of media you consume. This website is STILL full of articles about “questions christians should ask before reading/watching something” and “how to glorify God with your media consumption” and so on.

The questions include things like “Is there swearing/sex?” But also “Do the characters exemplify Godly principles in their character?” and “What emotions does it make you feel?” For the last one, an example was given about a hypothetical character feeling disappointment and jealousy that a guy she was interested in didn’t like her back. If you sympathize with that character, from this point of view, it’s degenerating your character. Even feeling the wrong emotions about a story is a sin. There’s also an article about how you shouldn’t listen to sad/angry music when you’re sad/angry, or turn to music at all to help yourself deal with emotions because that’s “replacing” a role God should play with music.

Teens are also advised to control their media consumption simply because focusing on or enjoying anything that isn’t God is wasting your time at best. In the comments sections of one of these articles a person was expressing guilt because he liked music “for the beat” instead of for any transcendent, Godly reason. Enjoyment of a thing that doesn’t connect back ultimately to God is a sin because you’re “worshipping” something other than God. “Does this music glorify God or does it glorify something else?” You can’t enjoy nature unless you think about how it’s beauty connects to God. You can’t love yourself without deriving your self love from your relationship with God.

There’s also a very strong thread of the idea that you can be “tainted” by reading, watching, or hearing something that has Wrong Things in it. Watching a movie with a sex scene or swearing in it changes you in a way you can never get back. It takes away your “innocence.”

Ironically, though, probably nothing I’ve read or consumed has ever done more damage to me than things on this very website. It had a profoundly awful effect on my mental health and sexuality and made me feel like absolute shit. Even then I recognized that some of it was batshit crazy—there was this entire article one time this teenage boy wrote about how he got a new haircut (like, a completely normal haircut, like, his hair was just a little bit fluffy or something??) and he felt so bad about it because he felt it didn’t “glorify God” that he shaved it off—but some of that shit just dug itself deeply into my psyche.

But on some level it’s bitterly hilarious how all the other articles on this website seem to boil down to “How do I stop struggling with guilt?” and “Why are Christians seen as so intolerant and irrelevant?”

Actually, no it’s not. It’s just sad. Because these are teenagers that think struggling with guilt is just a fundamental part of life, and don’t realize that most people don’t plunge into immobilizing feelings of worthlessness every time they make a mistake or do shit like pray to God to kill them because they have sexual desires. Many of the behaviors they discuss are on the obsessive-compulsive side of things and many of these kids would do well to learn what Pure OCD is and also to leave their shitty fucking church

I feel guilty all the time because of these things...

This needs to be recognized more 😭 I don't want people to feel like I do 🥺

WHO WROTE THIS AND WHERE IS THEIR NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE

AH, my bad!

"Thank you"

YOURE KILLIN ME 

OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO PRECIOUS! I’M GONNA CRY 😣😭
