I appreciate everyone spreading info about antiRomani racism in Europe and everywhere else, but you NEED to stop saying it’s “xenophobia” or just anti-immigrant sentiment because it is VERY SPECIFICALLY antiRomani racism. Romani people have been vilified and oppressed since we left India in 1200 CE or so. This has always been the case and even nations that view themselves as progressive or non-racist still hate Romani people with a passion. They don’t even view it as racism because they quite literally don’t see us as human.

Please call this what it is. It is antiRomani racism.

Additionally, Roma/Romani people aren’t ~from~ Eastern Europe. We aren’t hated because we’re “Eastern Europeans”. As previously mentioned, Romani people are a South Asian diaspora. I understand that our name is similar enough to Romanian that people get confused, but we are NOT the same. Romania is a country that enslaved Romani people for about 500 years. There are Romani people in Romania, but we are not inherently connected to that country. While Western Europe can be quite xenophobic against Eastern Europe, antiRomani racism has nothing to do with that and is its own seperate thing.

‘you’re back early’ is the most hilarious phrase to me in this context. like, you’re back early. from the moon. which takes days to get back from, and also definitely the assistance of this nasa employee. but somehow we managed it and just decided to drop by nasa for you to make this casual remark. yep. a logical setup to any joke. 

its comedy gold, just in that first line

Productivity culture will deceive you (especially if you are particularly high-functioning or a former Gifted Kid) into thinking that any use of your time that can’t be monetized or leveraged for your personal advancement is worthless, and I’m here to tell you that’s the devil talking. Do shit because you like it.

WHOA.

Shakira’s La Tortura > ANYTHING  the Beatles have ever been involved in.  

Can paul McCartney do this?

Can John Lennon do this?

Ringo star could NEVER

Yeah because they don’t need to use their bodies to sell their music. That’s how good they are.

Shakira has sung in five languages, plays multiple instruments, and she doesn’t “sell” her body you asshat she’s a dancer and a good one at that; she does body contortions, salsa, merengue, pole dancing, belly dancing (Egyptian style, fusion, and more), samba, tango, and modern dance and more. She also writes very profound lyrics in both Spanish and English and yes she also had sillier more pop friendly songs as well and she also produces. So don’t even insinuate anything else! Bye 👋 they aren’t even that good did you hear what Quincy Jones said about them? They’re talentless!!! Overrated British pop band that badly need dentists

woman: moves her body in a music video

fuckboy: shes just :/ selling her :/ body :/ for attention :/ no talent :/

Other than brachycephalic dogs, are there any other unethical breeds/breeding practices to avoid when getting a dog? Like German shepherds have bad hips or something but it’s not unethical to buy them right?

There are things I don’t “like” (like ridiculous coats or a stupid adherence to a silhouette, whether by coat or body shape), and then there are things which inhibit the dog’s quality of life.

ALL dogs, I’m sure you agree, deserve to be able to breathe, eat, walk, run, jump, mate and give birth unhindered.

The breeders of the more “questionable” breeds don’t see it that way.

If a vet or judge says “this basset has way too long ears, it’s practically stumbling over them”, the breeder might laugh and say “But it’s not a dog, it’s a basset hound! It’s supposed to be that way!”

Or an English or French bulldog, “this dog snores and heaves its head up and down even while sitting down, it’s not breathing normally”. “But it’s normal for a BULLDOG!”

That’s really messed up. They see their dogs as X breed or “my work of art/hobby” first, a living thing and Canis l. familiaris, second.

I can’t name all the breeds, but while there are obvious candidates with really messed up physiques (the English bulldog being the worst, everything from nose to tail is messed up on them), there are other breeds with sound confirmation, but which are wrecked by genetic illnesses (like cancer, heart disease, thyroids, kidneys, you name it), and they of course come from long-term inbreeding.

I don’t think we should necessarily end any breed, but the ones with internal illnesses need new blood (look up LUA Dalmatians for example, it’s an interesting story), and the ones with messed up bodies simply need to be bred differently, like those Frenchies with longer noses and legs, or Shar pei with less wrinkles, or German shepherds with straight backs.

TL;DR: If the dog is likely to be in pain (or hindered in breathing/eating/walking/running/jumping/reproducing) or become sick and die prematurely because of how it was bred, it’s unethical.

I did write-ups for 90 or so of the common breeds here, with the problems seen commonly in vet practice in Australia. They’re not complete rundowns of everything, but a decent introduction to the more common breeds here.
