After this week, this gives me faith

he’s mirroring! cats do that to be social that’s also why they will lie on laptops or books. they want to do what their humans are doing because they enjoy being in the same room and socializing that way. getting him his own prayer mat was a really good idea bc now he gets to mirror without being in the way!

The other thing is that cats have a very good sense of time and tend to like regular schedules. If OP’s family members pray every day at the same times, in the same place, the cat knows the drill and probably considers this an official Household Activity which requires Feline Supervision.

This cat has found religion and thats beautiful

the problem with saying stuff like “we need a healthy amount of shame in our society or whatever” is that shame has ALWAYS been used to marginalize working class people, disabled people, women, people of color, gay, trans people. Shame has always been used as a tool to make people submit to capitalism and the cisheteropatriarchy and you cannot abstract it away from that lmao… Like in your head maybe you wanna use shame to own the “degenerate freak fetishists” or whatever you want to call this group of people but in the end its not actually going to harm the people you pretend to want to harm :/ It’s going to harm basically everyone who is not perfectly in line with normative values and no you can’t just change the normative values of society while keeping this very same sense of shame (that is tied to sex) intact because sex (as in, the act) is inherently tied to gender and your conception of shame only makes sense within the normative constraints we know right now :/

so you’re going to have to rethink why you think its “shame” that we need in society and also you’re going to have to rethink why you think you can reappropriate shame in order to target the people you supposedly want to target before you say that again.

Like a lot of people seem to want to make an appeal to normalcy but then
you realize that what is “normal” is tied to the source of homophobia,
misogyny, racism, ableism, transphobia etc

because it is not you who defines normalcy but our society in general.. and like our society is not a progressive one so you cannot pretend that its possible to weaponize the concept of “normalcy” in favor of any sort of progressive goal :/

I love how many of the responses to this are “OP kinda has a point, but the specific people I do this too deserve it” when, like, the entire point is that you can’t just laser-target shame, and the other side of the coin of “what facilitates a shame-based approach to these things ends up inevitably doing harm to marginalized people” is that it also allows the intended targets recourse to avoiding that shame.

Like, “kinky cishets” or w/e your intended targets are don’t give a shit about your attempts to shame them. They have the entire institution of normative sexuality to fall back on because, whatever else they’re doing, their heterosexuality means that, at some fundamental level, their sexuality is still deemed effectively normal in a broader social context.

@everyone in the notes who didn’t properly read the post and therefore missed the central point

losing my shit at all the fucking people in these notes who keep trying to create a Progressive Version Of Shame culture and keep justifying it by going off about like NO WE STILL NEED THIS CULTURAL SYSTEM
BECAUSE UHHH, PEDOPHILES. you UTTER IDIOTS, we have lived in a society
where pedophilia is treated as shameful for AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF TIME
and it has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in terms of achieving the abolition of child sexual abuse. Your god damn conservative grandma will, if asked regarding what to do with pedophiles, usually provide an answer that involves the death penalty, and this is actually an extremely common view across all of society, society ALREADY BELIEVES that the approach to pedophilia must involve shame… and it hasn’t achieved anything, it hasn’t stopped child sexual abuse, it hasn’t fucking done anything for the millions of people who are survivors of child sexual abuse, it hasn’t stopped adults from being able to get away with doing the most heinous of things to children because absolutely no work whatsoever is being done under this framework of shame to abolish the social systems wherein children have rights that are little better than those of property. “We need to shame child predators” is in fact the equivalent of saying “we need to do absolutely nothing that is not already being done”.

Also there is no such thing as a “healthy amount of shame”. You feel shame, you feel awful about yourself, about who you are and your decisions. A bit of shame can easily translate to self-hatred and that cannot be healthy under no metrics. There are no any magical amounts that is going to turn you on a functional respectable human being. You just feel bad, that is it.
