Dogs be like:
“I can’t help, but I will supervise.”

Every task becomes a union job when the foreman has four legs and overwhelming moral support. 🐶 🥰

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

They judge us women for our looks, then judge us again for caring about them.

It’s not logic, it’s a self-serving double-bind meant to keep women feeling small.

It’s their insecurity showing, not our flaw.
