    I’ve been through a whole evolution the last year between asking out loud “do you know I love you?” Then questioning my epistemic standards for knowledge and whether cats can hold the same, so shifting the question “do you sense that I love you?” The latter seems more verifiable lol. Just seeing them do a slow blink at me and crawl up in my lap to boop their heads against mine confirms they’re at least comfy. Over enough years, I can’t imagine what else it would be other than them having that sense to some degree

    They might not understand the full extent of it, but as long as they’re happy and healthy, idk what else I could ask for














  • I’d have to look for it, but I watched a video a while back for a course where an African woman described how she pictured most characters as white because representation in media, toys, etc. usually have white people. Obviously she’s not speaking for every African, but I doubt I’d have thought about it without her anecdotal testimony.

    I can’t do the pig squeal sounding screams, but a good heavy vocalist can add so much to the range of emotion. It was an acquired taste for me, though. I had friends trying to show me BTBAM thinking I’d appreciate the complexity, but it took ages for me to really hear everything through the wall of sound. Looking up lyrics helped massively, along with finding bands that blend the heavy and clean vocals so there were spots I could sing along with. I’d love to learn to scream properly so I could belt out some gutturals
