I know that it is annoying to be told something you already know, but it has to be understood that everyone has a different pool of knowledge from which we draw from. We were all born and raised in different times and places, and there’s no standardized education.<\/p>\n

My brother attended school several grades above me, and as a result his home-ec class learned both cooking and how to use a sewing machine. My class learned how to make turkey chili and to wash dishes. The two experiences were not the same.<\/p>\n

So whenever I see a picture or video featuring someone going "I uwu love<\/em> my Scottish fold cat!" I refuse to reshare their content because fold cats are animals in incredible pain.<\/p>\n

Their ears fold like that because of the lack of cartilage. They are virtually guaranteed to suffer from arthritis and mobility issues. Their every moment of life involves them wishing the pain would finally stop.<\/p>\n

Show love, kindness, and care for those that already exist. Refuse to breed more.<\/p>\n
