Excuse me but I am in a place, and I don’t think I’m alone. And in these times, I turn to my favorite films from childhood. So don’t you realize? The next time you see an Also.Also.Also, it’ll be after the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The next time you take a test, it’ll be in world after this election. Our parents/other Americans, they supposedly want the best of stuff for us, but right now, they got to do what’s right for them. Because it’s their time. Their time! Up there. Down here, it’s our time. It’s our time down here!
It’s cool it’s cool we’re gonna be OK guys.

+ Hi I still haven’t read this because I’m saving all my love for you: Confessions of an Xennial: Why am I treated like a Millennial when I feel like Gen-X?, but listen, I feel like I might relate to it. Maybe that’s why I can’t read it. Maybe I’m afraid of myself. Maybe I should just watch Reality Bites while I fall asleep tonight and just not worry about it.
And Finally
Here’s a video of my dog Penny not going outside, even though she wants to, because there’s wind.
penny is trapped in a room of her own making
Do not mock, or laugh at, an animal’s fear. WTF!
?????
Penny is fine, and loved, and safe
I’m really feeling the Xennial article. The comments on it are hilariously painful. So many angry Gen-Xers.
Damn
Hi! Here to request a Voting Feelings/Cute Baby Animals Open Thread for tomorrow…we’re gonna need it.
oh it’s coming
<3
really relate to penny and the emotion of wagging your tail but also running away
My dog jumps into people’s laps, nuzzles up to be petted, and then softly growls a warning while they pet him. #mixedmessages
Maybe your dog is part cat? “Purrr, let me expose my belly / touch me and I’ll bite you”
Penny was just re-enacting a scene from the classic silent film, The Wind, starring Lillian Gish.
Every time my dog and I get outside and there’s a strong gust of wind she looks deeply personally affronted and turns around to go home – so glad she’s not alone in this affliction.
Your dog is adorable!
When I was a kid, we had a dog who was the opposite: any time there was wind, he would forget about what he was doing and stick his nose up in the air to sniff it.
Also, I at first thought your title was “Buttering your BFF Hannah Hart,” but I guess that would be a completely different article, lol.
I would read the hell out of that article!
same.
Had the volume up a bit high on that video. Now my dog Penny is looking for the nice lady who’s going to take her outside again.
My dog did the same thing even though his name is not Penny. I think he just heard “talking to the dog” voice and got amped.
Same. My dog was lying on my bed and lifted his head in mild interest when he heard “let’s go outside” but then he just went straight back to sleepy mode.
Penny is adorable and perfectly re-enacts all the social anxiety of my childhood. Except instead of wind it is hanging out with neighborhood kids.
Damn, that Intervarsity article though. I was heavily into that organization in college and is the number 1 reason I stayed in the closet for so long and still have fucked up thoughts about my sexuality sometimes. Like I’m going to be alone forever, because their message is “stay pure and chaste forever unless you’re lucky enough to find a husband, even thinking about sex ruins you.”
