Pugs are not cute.
Pugs are malformed, inbred, sick animals that should never have existed.

(Above: pug and wolf skulls. Note the shallow eye sockets, crowded, protruding teeth, and short snout in the pug.)

• Dogs pant to cool themselves. As pugs have practically no snouts, they have trouble cooling their bodies and they can suffer from organ failure as a result.
• Pugs are often unable to breathe properly due to their short snouts and compact breathing passages. This inhibits their ability to do things that dogs like best - running, chasing things, playing.
• Pugs suffer from a mangled jaw from which their teeth grow in all directions.
• Because of the distorted shape of their skulls, their eyes commonly pop out of their heads. 60% of prolapsed eyes become blind. Eyes put back in the skull are prone to infection and the dog may need treatment for the rest of their life.
• Their eyes are also prone to swelling painfully, becoming scratched, and being irritated by their eyelashes.
• When excited, pugs are prone to getting fluid stuck in their throats, making them choke or gasp for breath. This is given the cutesy nick name “reverse sneezing”. [video]
• As it can be difficult for pugs to exercise, they are prone to obesity.
• Some pugs are born with their nostrils pinched almost shut, making it impossible for them to live without an operation.
• The wrinkles on their faces will become infected without constant, careful cleaning by their caretaker.
• About 64% of pugs suffer from hip dysplasia (malformed hip sockets) which causes crippling lameness and painful arthritis.
• Pugs have a genetic weakness to demodectic mange (a pretty nasty skin condition caused by mites).
• Their curled tail makes them susceptible to hemivertibrae - misshapen backbones which cause spine bending and instability, neurological disorders, back leg paralysis, incontinence, and pain.
• Pugs are so inbred that a study of ten thousand pugs in the UK had the genetic makeup of only 50 individuals. Inbreeding means that defective genes are more likely to be expressed and passed on to offspring.
• Necrotizing meningoencephalitis (brain swelling) is common among pugs. Dogs with this condition usually die within a few weeks. 

I am so sick of seeing pugs being celebrated.
Their small, squashed skulls, facial wrinkles, curled tails, and protruding eyes are actually valued when these characteristics are a cruelty in themselves.

Pugs are charming, sweet, funny little souls and they don’t deserve the bodies humanity has designed for them.

Stop celebrating pugs.
Stop buying pugs.

let’s celebrate retro pugs instead

responsible breeders decided they liked the temperament but the health issues were a nightmare, so they fixed them, they bred them out

it’s retro as in before the muzzle was bred out

and look at them

the one on the left is a retromop and the one on the right is a (elderly) pug

they’re healthier, live longer and have all the pug benefits with none of the usual health issues because of the deformed skull

they have longer legs

making exercise easier, and yet maintained most of the pug looks, and yes, they have the pug grin

want a pug - get a retropug or retromop, a healther, happier, and possibly cheaper option

even though I love pugs, it’s important that people know this 

Retromops are where it’s at friend.  Keep 100% of the pug charm with 0%of the terrible unhealthy inbred deformity.

What she says: I’m fine

What she means: How is it that The Orville, an actually funny television show with a diverse cast and a nuanced take on issues like sexism, religion, and the nature of war, can be made by the same guy as Family Guy?

some writer snob somewhere: Do not start sentences with But or And because doing so is grammatically incorrect.

me, writing my fic: But I don’t care. And you can’t stop me.

Sometimes…..the flow of your creative prose…..is more important….than grammatical guidelines,,,,,,

those posts criticizing common writing patterns in fanfiction are so fucking harmful and they ruined me

so like yknow what??? People tell you to avoid “smirk” and “chuckle” as descriptors because no one does those things (???) but then when I need to use those words I have a ten minute crisis about how I’m a shitty writer. So heres my unwarranted writing advice: If you want your characters to smirk and chuckle fucking let them and don’t let anyone tell you that no one smirks or chuckles because I do both on a daily basis whenever I tell a shitty pun, bye 

Edgy fanfiction critics can eat my entire ass.

i smirk and chuckle frequently…so I guess I don’t exist…

Have these people literally never said anything while sort of laughing, because that’s a fucking chuckle.  I do it ALL THE TIME.

*white parent voice* i cant believe kanye and kim named their baby North West!! thats ridiculous!! oh no, its almost 4:30, i need to pick up my kids Mackaylikiah and Ashleighyie from their water polo practice!

I always reblog this post so fucking fast every time it comes on my dash my phone shuts down the tumblr app and reboots

McKarty 64 is my favorite Mario Kart game.

My favorite part is that the blog post the photo was taken from detailed this mother’s decision-making process and chose this name because her husband saw it on a road sign on the way home

She named her daughter after a road sign

a road sign

there was a girl at my school called “zona” cause he parents went on holiday to spain and saw it and thought it was a nice name. IT LITERALLY MEANS ZONE

“47 month old”

this is my four year old rayman origins

“Who’s doing your surgery?”

“Dr. Rayman Origins.”

THE APP REBOOTED FOR ME!!

i met a kid once whose name was “Ryce” and his mum said it was pronounced “Reese”

the best part is she was originally going to spell it “Rice”

My auntie knows a family who decided to name their daughter Owen, but they spelled it “Oin” and they made her middle name the first sound that her big sister made which happened to be “Oogok”. her name is literally “Oin Oogok Puscus”

Oin Oogok Puscus is my favorite dwarf from the Hobbit

Yo I work at a rec center in a rich neighborhood and these are some real names of white children:

Salter
Tryge (pronounced Trig)
Loots
Pocket
Aughyst (pronounced August)
Taileigh
Lotiss
Leviathin (yes spelled like that)
Bacchus
Daniyal (a girl, pronounced like Daniel)

All real

This shit is hilarious

@kaiiwooo

I can’t

47 month old.

Nayvie….. Bish whet????

47 month old.

I refuse to go on knowing someone named their child “Salter” I’m so done ✌🏿️

Treyton lls, I’m dying…

I know a person from college who’s name is literally “Smile”, l can’t even explain how ridiculous that is…

47 month old

47 month old

Damn suburban moms love to put unnecessary “Y’s” in names.

<b>47 month old<b/>

47 month old.

Somebody named their kid Pocket?!?!???

I am cry wheeze laughing at this post, and then when I got to the bottom I had apparently already hearted it at some point in its life?

Anyway, bless little Christopher’s parents. My god.

47 month old tho

One of the classes I subbed in had a kid named Glarison. I’m sorry, did you misspell Garrison?????

OMG IT IS BACK! I CAN FINALLY POST THE ASK I GOT ABPUT THIS!

I went to college and took religious studies courses with a girl named Storm Pagan. She never understood why I found that both funny and oddly appropriate, and I never felt like taking the time to explain.

for the love of your future children, look up what a name means in all languages before you saddle you kid with it until they’re old enough to legally change it.

I took latin in middle school. I don’t actually remember much now, but i’m telling you, it was IMPOSSIBLE to look this girl I knew in passing in the eye because her name was Latrina. 

Latrina.

(For those of you who have no idea why this is unfortunate and hilarious, ‘latrina’ is one of the latin words for toilet)

What the fuck that even sounds like ‘Latrine’ like who looked at that name and went ‘what could possibly go wrong’

Kids I actually went to school with:

Nipponia (Her parents were really enthusiastic about Japan and thought no one would know.)
Foreverina 
Twins – Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh
Khayrliy (Carly)
MyckEnziey (yes, spelled like that.)

Every last one of them was white n blonde.

Naming your kids after gods seems like s BAD PLAN whether you believe in them or not. Especially Odin and Bacchus.

4 7 M O N T H O L D

I knew I pair of sisters named Chardonnae and Breane (nicknamed Brie). Fucking wine and cheese

Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh ……. I???……what the fuck 😂😂😂

47 month old

Congrats to you for getting throught this post

Now I’m so fucking glad I’m named megan

This is why at the library I would make EVERYONE spell their name for me.
Some white lady over 35: You want me to spell Linda Smith

Me: Lady, you don’t know my life. I have looked into the abyss.

47 month old

i’ve baby sat 3 kids, all white and blonde, and their names were Kale, Demi(i forgot her full name), and Xaviera

At least they’re going to learn to spell hard words early on.

My mom was best friends with 2 twins, Leather and Suede

47 month old

I knew a kid named Kyler…

i babysat for a girl named Brynnleigh. just stick with the basic names…..

Went to college with a girl named Candie Cain–if that’s not setting your daughter up to be a stripper, I don’t know what is. (She went to law school though thank god)

I know a Shyler and a Raycer *sigh*
