ngl one of the main reasons i ship romione is because hermione got a cat that is the cat version of ron
…you just blew my entire mind
BIG, GINGER, GRUMPY, AND A LITTLE VIOLENT who am i talking about ron or crookshanks you don’t know
My mind keeps also drawing comparisons between Ron the Consistently Underappreciated with his overachieving brothers, and Crookshanks who languished at the pet store watching the cuter kittens get adopted…
This also makes Ron’s dislike of Crookshanks pretty hilarious
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE CRUX OF MY CROOKSHANKS IS THE CAT VERSION OF RON PHILOSOPHY. Fucking of course he hates that cat because he is that cat and he is Ron fucking Weasley. If Ron Weasley had a double that double would be better than him and he’d hate him too.
And of course Hermione has a soft spot for the most disagreeable, underdog cat in the world.

In case you still don’t know, the word “phobia” has a completely different meaning in sociological context compared to psychological context! Homophobia is not a fear of gay people, fatphobia is not a fear of fat people. It’s hatred, it’s prejudice. It’s synonymous to animus. Can we all just accept that and move along already? You’re not being a smartass by “noticing” that “phobia means fear”. You’re being ignorant.
Similarly, soap is not simultaneously sexually aroused by and horribly frightened of water, despite having hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends.
Context!
(A better way of describing -phobic – or -philic, while we’re on the subject – would be aversion vs. attraction, rather than the literal translations ‘fear’ vs. ‘love.’)
Men believe the family is their domain but when it comes to watching the children or doing chores suddenly it’s not their responsibility
THAT LAST COMMENT THOUGH.
We as a society need to discuss why it’s considered necessary for a woman to take a man’s name in a marriage, and why it is considered degrading the other way around. Take a minute to think about that: things that are considered necessary for women are degrading for men. It shows how society views women when you think of that.
At one of my school reunions, I met one of my former classmates who had taken his wife’s surname. He was so chill about it. Told everyone very proudly that his wife was an only child (and so was her father and grandfather) so if she’d taken his last name or even if they’d hyphenated, she’d be the last of her family so he’d happily taken her name so that wouldn’t happen.
The funny thing about it was that he was such a sexist piece of shit when he was at school. So, you know, people can grow and change.
My mother kept her last name when she married my father, and he hyphenated, but ONLY because he had a son from his first marriage and he wanted for his son to share his last name too, else he’d taken my mother’s.
Seriously, where the fuck is it emasculating to take your wife’s name. Men have to stop being babies ffs.
I hate that teenage girls are indoctrinated into a feminism which teaches them to do everything the patriarchy would teach them anyways, with a slightly adjusted attitude.
You should wear lipstick and eyeliner… Bc it’s a weapon!! You can ride that dick and still be a feminist!! You should have violent sex and have men control you sexually – bc kink is so hot and liberating.
And we end up with an entire generation of young women fully indoctrinated into coercive femininity, & thinking they are somehow liberating themselves or serving the revolution.
Here’s a hint: if your brand of feminism is telling you to do all the shit misogynistic society tells you to do, and the only difference is how you’re supposed to feel about it, nothing has changed. The patriarchy doesn’t care how you feel. Men don’t care how you feel as long as you’re wearing makeup and fucking them.
Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.
For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!
The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!
If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!
I’m literally crying right now. I will be able to use my hands!!! As it stands I can’t do dishes, hold things, write, hold books, type, without pain or dislocation. Oh my gosh. This is a miracle.
