I was walking Avid this morning when, near some woods, he suddenly stopped and perked up. He lifted his right front leg like he does when he's at attention. I wasn't paying much attention myself, though, because I was responding to a text message. Eventually I put the phone away and looked at Avid, laughing at how silly he was. Then I just kinda raised my head and *WOAH* two deer standing there at the edge of the woods, 10 feet away, just staring at Avid and me somewhat apprehensively as they munched on some berries.

I said, "Hi guys, you're okay, don't worry..." and started walking away; luckily Avid came along without fighting too much. Usually if he sees deer he wants to chase after them, but maybe that's because they're usually running away. He seemed to appreciate them and their stillness in that moment.

The whole incident had a pretty profound effect on me.

Here’s a fun fact: Teddy Roosevelt’s wife and mother both died on Feb 14th. So while you complain about being alone, let’s remember who really was forever alone on this day.

How bout his journal entry for that day though?

If that doesn’t get you right in the feels, I don’t know what does.

I can’t even imagine the heartbreak he went through that day…

Here’s Another Fun Fact: Theodore Roosevelt was a racist, imperialist war monger responsible to massacres of people of color and workers from Cuba to the Philippines. So fuck him and his “heartbreak.”

“The question now,” said Theodore Roosevelt shortly after the conquest of the Philippines, “is not whether we shall expand, for we have already expanded—but whether we shall contract. The Philippines are now part of American territory.”

...and on top of that, Ol' Teddy Bear also delighted in tracking and killing just about every kind of living creature he could find on this planet.

Just think about how many deaths--how many broken families and broken hearts--he was responsible for in his life, be they of the human or non-human animal variety. It boggles the mind.

A great statesman.

how the fuck does anyone ever agree on anything?

Just typed in to Google, "vegans are ___" to see what would autofill, and in doing so I found out that cracked.com has someone saying, "Vegans are vegetarians that have lost any lingering remnants of a sense of humor."

#scoff #heyshutuphowdareyousaythat

I also found out that Anthony Bourdain thinks vegans are "self-indulgent."

If I had any shred of a sense of humor remaining, I would think that assertion by Bourdain was amazingly hilarious.

Sadly, I just cry instead.

The Vegan Privilege Supermarket, where all of that costs $8.

Can people who make belt buckles maybe try making ones that don't have a bunch of hard-edged metal parts that stick into your skin?

No?

WHAT ARE WE GONNA GET UNNECESSARILY PISSED OFF ABOUT IF YOU POKE HOLES IN OUR CONVENIENT NARRATIVE???

Author Rawn James tells Terry Gross how African-American soldiers returning from WWI were treated:

They believed that by making the world safe for democracy abroad, that they would prove their mettle at long last and come back and … have democracy here at home. They returned in 1919 to what be came known as the ‘Red Summer.’ There were so many race riots up in the Northern states and the brutal, terrible lynchings that occurred in the South. And the lynchings became endemic, so much so that they began to almost to become a separate judicial system in the Southern states. So what these soldiers returned to really was a situation … even worse than when they had left. Soldiers were lynched and burned while wearing their military uniforms.
