The intro cards for Futurama have always been one of my favorite parts of the show because people always talk about the old Simpson’s couch gag but this is just pure gold… I mean-
It goes from everything from
and then they made fun of how much everyone reacted to the the infamous ‘dead dog episode’ that I cried about…
“Mirroring” is a big thing with cats. It’s why they will lay in similar positions several feet apart, or will come and try to do things when you do them. It’s a sign that they love you and want to show.
This cat wants to be close to its owner, and also wants to do what its owner is doing, to be involved in some way.
Giving them their own thing to use is a really great way to redirect them and allow them to mirror the behavior in a non-disruptive way that frustrates neither party.
the opposite of ‘we die like men’ is ‘we survive like women’
I like that this both showcases the strength of women and gives everyone a chance to survive, because anyone can die like a man, and anyone can survive like a woman.
“Die like men”- die strong, fighting for what you believe in, accepting responsibility and giving no quarter.
“Survive like women’- piecing yourself back together, giving comfort and solidarity to others, learning strength from suffering, fighting to protect vulnerable others.
