Them: Oh you don’t want this cat. He’s wild and he bites everyone and he’ll never just sit nicely in your lap. He’s a project cat. 

 Me: That’s okay, I’m a project person. 

 Two weeks later:

He won’t leave.

Tell us your secret oh great kitty whisperer.

Step one: let him hide or shy away from you if he wants to. He wouldn’t let me touch him for a couple days after we got back from the shelter. His comfort was more important than me getting to touch him.

Step two: make yourself nonthreatening. In my case this meant being very quiet, bringing food and lying down on the ground within his eyesight as an invitation to investigate.

Step three: watch his body language and don’t do things that make him uncomfortable. Turns out my cat often bit when he was overstimulated so I made sure not to overwhelm him.

Step four: draw lines, but not with brute force. Even though his biting wasn’t meant to hurt, I wanted to make sure he wouldn’t injure anyone in the future. So I decided when he bit me, I’d yelp “ow!” And then withdraw all physical contact for a few minutes, sometimes leaving the room. Now he never bites, but sometimes he puts his teeth on my hand and then thinks better of it.

Step five: provide a good outlet for destructive behaviors. Aka PLAY WITH HIM, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.

Step six: be patient.

Step seven: get lucky and somehow pick up the best cat in the entire shelter. I don’t know how it happened but he’s a godsend. He’s literally cuddled me out of a panic attack. We both really needed each other.

Me: *lifts cat down from table to stop her from drinking the water I’m using for dipping my brushes when painting*

Cat: *keeps getting back up on table because that water is Obviously hers and she needs to drink it*

Me: No, there is paint in that, you don’t want to drink it

Cat: *slaps my hand over and over in an attempt to get me to stop hindering her attempts to drink water*

This is Busan trying hard not to look interested.

She thought I was looking the other way and tried sticking her head in the water. I covered it with my hand.

“How DARE you put your hand over MY water???”

*tries to press head between fingers*

*tries to move fingers out of the way*

Nope, still not working.

Busan you’re not helping.

Hey, just a word of warning to all my followers, please remember that it is a Class E Felony to wish harm or death upon the President of the United States . Yes, even on social media. People have gotten deported over this in the past.

I wholeheartedly support #notmypresident but unfortunately, this law would still apply. Be careful with those assassination jokes, which do qualify as a federal offense now. Stay informed and make informed decisions.

I would like to remind everyone that a few years back a I tagged a post about shady us military recruitment tactics with “I hate the military” (or something like that) and wound up with someone looking through my selfie tag from a department of defense computer.

be very careful of what you put online.

😨 scary

This is what I was referring to in my earlier post. The NSA showed up at my house due to some shit I said. They questioned me, and when they realized I wasn’t a threat to national security, left me alone. Still, had they wanted to, they could have black bagged my ass and carted me off to a blacksite if they were feeling particularly bored and no one would know.

So like…PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY. Especially if you’re active in protests and documenting shit. Use disposable cameras, and never ever use your cellphone for shit like that.

I’ve been meaning to do a post about this.

In addition to it being a felony, you know full well this president is petty enough to go after anyone and everyone.

A girl from IDK what fandom got an embarrassing visit from the Secret Service in 2004 after making a jokey post on LiveJournal “praying” for God to smite the President in an embarrassing or scandalous way. Nothing came of it but a stern lecture, but it’s good to know the rules on this depending on dangerous it is for you to come into contact with law enforcement.

For US security purposes, always assume criminal death threats include:
-Jokes, even really obvious jokes about movies, memes, etc.
-Anything that starts “I hope/wish someone…” or “When is someone going to…” or “Someone should really…” These are treated the same as “I am going to…” This applies even to fictional characters, like “I hope Darth Vader…”
-Fantasies/stories about assassination or the aftermath of an assassination.
-Things like “We could really use a [name of famous assassin]” or “Anyone know when the President is going to [location of previous assassination]?”

Don’t come into contact with law enforcement if you don’t have to.

Sorry to keep harping on this, but I know there are lots of folks on Tumblr who weren’t adults when this discussion was in the news last time around (and I believe even people as young as 14 have been visited by the Secret Service for comments about harming the President in the past).

Don’t give Drumpf and his lackeys the satisfaction.

@memecucker

Yeahh got visited when I was 13 for saying something about Bush.
Here’s an article about a 15 year old getting investigated for an art project they did- https://www.google.com/amp/www.seattlepi.com/local/amp/Secret-Service-confiscates-anti-Bush-drawings-by-1143383.php?client=safari

Basically people underestimate the amount of reach the Secret Service has when it comes to assassination threats

I really don’t care for him so I don’t say much anyway.

What really confuses me is I never heard of all the “posts pictures of holding guns while talking about 2nd amendment ‘solutions’ to obama” crowd getting these visits

^^^ THANK YOU! This is the first time I’m hearing about this. And he and his family have recieved rape threats and death threats and no one has ever brought up that it goes against a class e felony. They’ve just said “Its not that serious! Don’t doxx them! It’s just a harmless joke. Where were these people when that disrespectful racist used and Obama mask to mock the death of Trayvon Martin for Halloween?

one of the reasons mental illness sucks so fucking much is because people around you can literally tell you again and again that they love you, that they think you’re cool and funny, that they support you in every way, that you’re talented or intelligent, and no matter how many times they say it you’ll always cringe and shake your head and say “no, no i’m not, really” but the SECOND someone says one bad thing about you, even just once. You believe it completely.
