The Black Footed cat is the smallest wild cat in Africa and one of the smallest wild cats in the world.

Here’s an adult kitty for size comparison:

too smoll

OK but you can’t mention my all-time favorite cat without also mentioning that these little motherfuckers are legendary for being 1000% ready to throw down with anyone at any time, they’ve literally been seen trying to fight a giraffe and are known to successfully bring down sheep by getting underneath them and ripping their bellies open like what the fuck, chill

Their name in Afrikaans means “anthill tiger” because they’ll hide inside a hollowed out anthill and then jump out and try to rip your face off

They are perfect and I love them

Aw, look at these little murder muffins.

do waitresses know that i love them and appreciate everything they do

i had the nicest waitress today who told me my outfit was cute and i wish i was rich cuz I would’ve tipped her so much more if I could

If you ever actually wanna help your waitress out, ask to speak to their manager before you leave and then tell the manager how awesome they are.

Trust me, it makes a difference. Servers who get compliments from guests and customers get better hours, and the more you’re liked by the people who come in the more forgiving the bosses are when shit goes awry (say if you’re sick or you have a flat so you’re late, etc).

Tell the manager. Do it! Aside from tipping it’s one of the best things you can do for us. Tell the manager you thought we were great. Tell the manager that we’re the reason you’re gonna come back. Talk us up! It’s a little like job security – if you tell the manager we’re the reason you’re here, they’re gonna be a lot more reluctant to let us go because then they’re losing your business, and they don’t want that. 

this is good advice, thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And managers are SO SURPRISED AND PLEASED when you ask to compliment, rather than complain.  They really listen.

also be like “Can I tell your manager how amazing you are?” so they’re not worried about what you’re going to say. be effusive. say you come for their wonderful service.

Go there, and do as the instructions say.
When my art was stolen, I got the post reported, and it was taken down. Don’t worry, it doesn’t just take down the sources post, but it takes down all the reblogged posts too.
Please give this a reblog, many artists out there may not know this is here.
And remember, ask permission before sharing, or don’t post it.

THIS IS BLOODY FANTASTIC

LET ME SMOOCH YOU

U kno I just found out that the whole quote is “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it burned in one” and I like that a lot better

apparently another version of this quote that’s centuries old is “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour” and I like the take of this one a lot

Me, taking my pants off at the store to bring home two gallons of Arizona tea

[1. Use the string to tie the bottom portion of the two legs of the pants. Tie the string so that the two ends are equal in length.

2. Fold the pants at around the knees, and pass the string through the belt loops.

3. Make the leg portions the shoulder straps of the knapsack so it can be carried on your back. Firmly tie the string that has been passed through the belt loop to prevent the contents from spilling out.]

TIL of the “Tiffany Problem”. Tiffany is a medieval name—short for Theophania—from the 12th century. Authors can’t use it in historical or fantasy fiction, however, because the name looks too modern. This is an example of how reality is sometimes too unrealistic.

“Authors can’t use it in fantasy fiction, eh? We’ll see about that…”

–Terry Pratchett, probably

Try to implement anything but a conservative’s sixth grade education level of medieval or Victorian times and you will butt into this. all. the. time. 

There was a literaly fad in the 1890′s for nipple rings for all genders(and NO, it was NOT under the mistaken belief that it would help breastfeeding–there’s LOTS of doctors’ writing at the time telling people to STOP and that they thought it would ruin the breast’s ability to breastfeed well, etc). It was straight up because the Victorians were freaks, okay
Imagine trying to make a Victorian character with nipple rings. IMAGINE THE ACCUSATIONS OF GROSS HISTORICAL INACCURACY

I’m making a Victorian OC named Tiffany with nipple rings.

some guy: uhhh there’s a leaf in your water

person who’s about to invent tea: oh haven’t you heard?

I’M SCREAMING I DID NOT KNOW THIS

[The story of tea begins in China. According to legend, in 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try this infusion that his servant had accidentally created. The tree was a Camellia sinensis, and the resulting drink was what we now call tea.]
