When someone disagrees with you online and demands you prove your point to their satisfaction by writing a complete and logically sound defense including citations, you can save a lot of time by not doing that.

winter walk dog safety!
please wipe your pups paws after taking them on a winter walk. un-purified rock salts contain traces of heavy metals such as mercury and lead. however, most municipalities in north america use ferrocyanide (a form known to cause cancer) as an anti-caking agent to facilitate the spreading of rock salt and prevent clumping. these ice melter toxins combined with antifreeze (ethylene glycol, thatâs been spilled onto roads/sidewalks/driveways) are known to irritate pets who lick their paws and ingest these chemicals in harmful quantities after their winter walks. dogs that have stepped in antifreeze will be inclined to lick it because it smells and tastes SWEET.
antifreeze poisoning symptoms: - lack of coordination - excessive drinking and urination - gastrointestinal irritation - coma, seizures, and/or death
rock salt poisoning symptoms: - burns to the mouth - dehydration - raw and sore paws - liver and kidney failure - pancreatitis
protect your furry four legged pals this winter season!! i had a dog ingest antifreeze after licking some off someoneâs driveway and it was heartbreaking watching his condition worsen while on the way to the vet. he ended up being treated and made full recovery but i would have been devastated if it was anything other than old age that took him from me. stay safe!
ITâS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!!!
Also look into buying doggie boots!
you can say âleggings arenât pantsâ as much as you want. you can shout it from a rooftop. you can make it into a big obnoxious neon sign. you can write it in skywriting way up in the sky. i wonât care. i will still be out there, somewhere, wearing leggings as pants and not caring
Itâs been said before but if public libraries werenât a fact of society and were proposed today they would be roundly rejected as pie in the sky communism
âFREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE???????? FREE BOOKS?!?!?!?!?!?! ForâŠ.. POOR people????? Thatâs socialism!!!!! Youâre a communist!!!!!! How DARE you suggest that we supply reading material to the POORS. I mean, are we even sure that they can read?? And how would we know that they would bring the books back? They would probably sell them to get drugs. Those peopleâŠ. always trying to get drugs from the inner city. Thatâs what these libraries are, I tell you: a way for the poors to get drugs. They always use these ENTITLEMENTS and we, the rich people, are left holding the bag. I wonât stand for it. I wonât let these people read free books. A line has to be drawn somewhere.â
Beyoncé and Tina Knowles serving and speaking to the survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Houston on September 8, 2017. Beyoncé met and spoke to all of the 400 people who attented the benefit, and donated a pair of Nike Air Jordans to each.
âThis today is a celebration of survival. Yâall are my family, Houston is my home. I love you. I thank God that youâre safe, that your children are safe. The thing that really matters is your health, your children and your family and your life.â
Since itâs Nagasaki Day, letâs remember how the US convinced the entire world that the deaths of 39000-80000 people, which consisted MOSTLY of civilians, was equivalent to the attack on Pearl Harbour, a military base
Letâs also remember that dropping these bombs had NOTHING to do with âending the war by sacrificing a few livesâ because the war had already been lost for Japan before that. Japan was already on the verge of surrender and William Leahy, who was Trumanâs Chief of staff, told Truman and knew this. Leahy also said that âthe use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japanâ The only thing was that Japan wanted to keep their emperor in power to help control the changes that would be made in an occupied Japan. Dwigth Eisenhower, Henry Stimson, William Halsey Jr., Curtis LeMay were all prominent leaders in the military and have said the same. That dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary and had nothing to do with the war.
So why was the bomb dropped? Because the U.S needed to test it in a real life scenario and it was a message to the rest of the world and Russia specifically. The message was âwe can destroy highly packed cities in an instance and we can do it whenever we wantâ and it was supposed to demonstrate how atomic weapons would help dominate the postwar era. The United states killed thousands of people and ruined immeasurable lives to prove a point. To say âlook how big our guns areâ.Â
This is âŠ.so true?
Nobody fucking cares about Native Americans and I am so fucking tired of it.
If your political justice and change for poc doesnât include justice and change for natives, it is not just and never fucking can be. None of you include natives. I have never seen a single person on this goddamn website that wasnât Native give a lick of a fuck about us. How dare all of you advocate for change and justice yet ignore a group of people who have been suffering and screaming for it for CENTURIES.
Y'all live on a land stolen from all of us by a literal fucking genocide, and while we still suffer every day centuries later, yall turn the blindest fucking eye you can. Iâm sorry, but I am absolutely fucking disgusted at this website that paints itself as inclusiveâs treatment of natives. None of y'all are any fucking better than the Canadian government.
Absolutely fuck all of y'all for painting urself with an image of poc inclusivity when you donât give a fuck about anyone other than certain types of poc meanwhile weâre suffering in silence, a silence forced upon us that can never be broken not because we donât scream loud enough, but because people ignore our screams. Every. Fucking. Day.
Flint hasnât had clean water since 2014, a tragedy, sure. But as early as 2016 efforts were being made to end the crisis, it had caught international attention.
The reserve my own family lives on has not had clean water since TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT, 2008, and itâs almost a decade later. Nothing has been done. Not a single thing has been done, regardless of protests, petitions, etc.
Also, thereâs 80+ other reserves without clean water, some without for as long or longer than my rez. Why arenât these reserves getting clean water despite our country (Canada) having more than enough water and resources to do so? Because the government doesnât care. Because the majority races donât care. Because nobody cares for Native issues other than Natives, and we are fucking dying because of it.
The governmental silence is extending our genocide (which only ended in the 90s with the closing of the last residential school, by the actual fucking way), and the silence of everyone else isnât fucking helping either.
You say we donât riot enough. We donât raise enough of a fuss, itâs our fault for being ignored. To that I, and likely every other Native says: Fuck you and everyone else whoâs ever said that, you disgust me.
It is your fault for ignoring us, you being the white people who turn a blind eye, you being the other poc who turn a blind eye, you being the other poc who blame us for not being as successful in their social change as they are, you being anyone who tells us âjust get over itâ.
It is not the fault of native Americans that we were genocided and apartheid for essentially all of our modern history. It is not the fault that our cultures and communities are still broken from the genocide, that weâre trying to recover in a system tailor made for our failure.
If you want to deny that youâre killing us just as fast as the government by ignoring our cries for help year after year, tragedy after tragedy, thatâs fine. But donât you dare claim to be inclusive if your inclusivity doesnât include Native Americans, donât you fucking DARE to claim to care about the welfare of poc when a genocide is still continuing because of your fucking willful ignorance.
NiĂ :wen.
Feel free to reblog this btw, ESPECIALLY if youâre non native.
Native issues are infinitely deeper than white people wearing headdresses or buying dream catchers. Cultural appropriation is 0.01% of native issues, there are So Many more things wrong with our treatment that I encourage y'all to please read up some on actual native issues if youâre really serious about equality for poc.
We cannot have true equality when an entire race is still enduring the effects of a genocide that ended very recently and isnât talked about by anybody, to a point where denial of native genocide is literally seen as normal.
Something isnât right here and hasnât been right for a long time. Things need to fucking change, but we cannot do it on our own. Weâve tried, please trust us on that.
Thank you.
I hate it when people say technology is taking away kidsâ childhoods If anything, itâs actually giving kids more of an opportunity to let their imagination out
A lot of times when I let kids play on my phone, they go for the drawing app. I watched a girl on the bus write a silly poem about her friends and then laugh as she made Siri read it I hear children say to their friends âhey, FaceTime me laterâ because they still want to talk face to face even when theyâre far away. I see kids sitting, who would feel lonely and ignored if it werenât for the fact that theyâre texting their friends who are far away. Children still climb trees. They might just take a selfie from the top to show off how high theyâve gotten. They can immediately read the next book of their favorite series on their Kindles. Most kids would still be up for a game of cops and robbers. Or maybe theyâd google rules to another game they havenât played yet. When children wonder why the sky is blue, they donât get an exasperated âI donât knowâ from tired adults. They can go on Wikipedia and read about light waves and our atmosphere. They show off the elaborate buildings they created on Minecraft.
Technology isnât ruining childhoods, itâs enhancing them.
Love this post so much to counteract much of the pessimism surrounding technology and kids. Itâs not stealing kidsâ innocence, just another means of expressing it. And so often do I hear that all kids do these days is âplay on their phonesâ instead of doing other things, itâs starting to sound like a broken record. >.>
Heck, it reminds me of the first time our family got a computer; sure, I was on it all the time, but it afforded me a chance to talk more often with my best friend at the time. It filled in that boredom that would have otherwise been filled with TV and made me curious about the world.
Dropping some knowledge for you. I bet you didnât know that and they wonât teach you something like this at schools. Thatâs a shameful part of the history they want to forget, but you need to know this, to be aware of what happened to our people back then. These people experienced terror and torture just because white people didnât want them free and flourishing.
Take time to read this.
Really. You should read this.
@dmc-dmc you should REALLY read this
This is pure evil. @feelingwomanish i donât even know what to say. Anyone who sees this PLEASE READ and fill out the petition!!!!!
While the Children in Flint Were Given Poisoned Water to Drink, General Motors Was Given a Special Hookup to the Clean Water. A few months after Governor Snyder removed Flint from the clean fresh water we had been drinking for decades, the brass from General Motors went to him and complained that the Flint River water was causing their car parts to corrode when being washed on the assembly line. The Governor was appalled to hear that GM property was being damaged, so he jumped through a number of hoops and quietly spent $440,000 to hook GM back up to the Lake Huron water, while keeping the rest of Flint on the Flint River water. Which means that while the children in Flint were drinking lead-filled water, there was one â and only one â address in Flint that got clean water: the GM factory.
For Just $100 a Day, This Crisis Couldâve Been Prevented. Federal law requires that water systems which are sent through lead pipes must contain an additive that seals the lead into the pipe and prevents it from leaching into the water. Someone at the beginning suggested to the Governor that they add this anti-corrosive element to the water coming out of the Flint River. âHow much would that cost?â came the question. â$100 a day for three months,â was the answer. I guess that was too much, so, in order to save $9,000, the state government said f*** it â and as a result the State may now end up having to pay upwards of $1.5 billion to fix the mess.
Thereâs More Than the Lead in Flintâs Water. In addition to exposing every child in the city of Flint to lead poisoning on a daily basis, there appears to be a number of other diseases we may be hearing about in the months ahead. The number of cases in Flint of Legionnaires Disease has increased tenfold since the switch to the river water. Eighty-seven people have come down with it, and at least ten have died. In the five years before the river water, not a single person in Flint had died of Legionnaires Disease. Doctors are now discovering that another half-dozen toxins are being found in the blood of Flintâs citizens, causing concern that there are other health catastrophes which may soon come to light.
Peopleâs Homes in Flint Are Now Worth Nothing Because They Cant Be Sold. Would you buy a house in Flint right now? Who would? So every homeowner in Flint is stuck with a house thatâs now worth nothing. Thatâs a total home value of $2.4 billion down the economic drain. People in Flint, one of the poorest cities in the U.S., donât have much to their name, and for many their only asset is their home. So, in addition to being poisoned, they have now a net worth of zero. (And as for employment, who is going to move jobs or start a company in Flint under these conditions? No one.) Has Flintâs future just been flushed down that river?
While They Were Being Poisoned, They Were Also Being Bombed. Hereâs a story which has received little or no coverage outside of Flint. During these two years of water contamination, residents in Flint have had to contend with a decision made by the Pentagon to use Flint for target practice. Literally. Actual unannounced military exercises â complete with live ammo and explosives â were conducted last year inside the city of Flint. The army decided to practice urban warfare on Flint, making use of the thousands of abandoned homes which they could drop bombs on. Streets with dilapidated homes had rocket-propelled grenades fired upon them. For weeks, an undisclosed number of army troops pretended Flint was Baghdad or Damascus and basically had at it. It sounded as if the city was under attack from an invading army or from terrorists. People were shocked this could be going on in their neighborhoods. Wait â did I say âpeople?â I meant, Flint people. As with the Governor, it was OK to abuse a community that held no political power or money to fight back. BOOM!
The Wife of the Governorâs Chief of Staff Is a Spokeswoman for Nestle, Michiganâs Largest Owner of Private Water Reserves. As Deep Throat told Woodward and Bernstein: âFollow the money.â Snyderâs chief of staff throughout the two years of Flintâs poisoning, Dennis Muchmore, was intimately involved in all the decisions regarding Flint. His wife is Deb Muchmore, who just happens to be the spokesperson in Michigan for the Nestle Company â the largest owner of private water sources in the State of Michigan. Nestle has been repeatedly sued in northern Michigan for the 200 gallons of fresh water per minute it sucks from out of the ground and bottles for sale as their Ice Mountain brand of bottled spring water. The Muchmores have a personal interest in seeing to it that Nestles grabs as much of Michiganâs clean water was possible â especially when cities like Flint in the future are going to need that Ice Mountain.
In Michigan, from Flint water, to Crime and Murder, to GM Ignition Switches, Itâs a Culture of Death. Itâs not just the water that was recklessly used to put peopleâs lives in jeopardy. There are many things that happen in Flint that would give one the impression that there is a low value placed on human life. Flint has one of the worst murder and crime rates in the country. Just for context, if New York City had the same murder rate as Flint, Michigan, the number of people murdered last year in New York would have been almost 4,000 people â instead of the actual 340 who were killed in NYC in 2015. But itâs not just street crime that makes one wonder about what is going on in Michigan. Last year, it was revealed that, once again, one of Detroitâs automakers had put profit ahead of peopleâs lives. General Motors learned that it had installed faulty ignition switches in many of its cars. Instead of simply fixing the problem, mid-management staff covered it up from the public. The auto industry has a history of weighing the costs of whether itâs cheaper to spend the money to fix the defect in millions of cars or to simply pay off a bunch of lawsuits filed by the victims surviving family members. Does a cynical, arrogant culture like this make it easy for a former corporate CEO, now Governor, turn a blind eye to the lead that is discovered in a municipalityâs drinking water?
Donât Call It âDetroit Waterâ â Itâs the Largest Source of Fresh Drinking Water in the World. The media keeps saying Flint was using âDetroitâs water.â It is only filtered and treated at the Detroit Water Plant. The water itself comes from Lake Huron, the third largest body of fresh water in the world. It is a glacial lake formed over 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age and it is still fed by pure underground springs. Flint is geographically the last place on Earth where one should be drinking poisoned water.
ALL the Children Have Been Exposed, As Have All the Adults, Including Me. Thatâs just a fact. If you have been in Flint anytime from April 2014 to today, and youâve drank the water, eaten food cooked with it, washed your clothes in it, taken a shower, brushed your teeth or eaten vegetables from someoneâs garden, youâve been exposed to and ingested its toxins. When the media says â9,000 children under 6 have been exposed,â that means ALL the children have been exposed because the total number of people under the age of 6 in Flint is⊠9,000! The media should just say, âall.â When they say â47 children have tested positiveâ, thatâs just those whoâve drank the water in the last week or so. Lead enters the body and does itâs damage to the brain immediately. It doesnât stay in the blood stream for longer than a few days and you canât detect it after a month. So when you hear â47 childrenâ, thatâs just those with an exposure in the last 48 hours. Itâs really everyone.
This Was Done, Like So Many Things These Days, So the Rich Could Get a Big Tax Break. When Governor Snyder took office in 2011, one of the first things he did was to get a multi-billion dollar tax break passed by the Republican legislature for the wealthy and for corporations. But with less tax revenues, that meant he had to start cutting costs. So, many things â schools, pensions, welfare, safe drinking water â were slashed. Then he invoked an executive privilege to take over cities (all of them majority black) by firing the mayors and city councils whom the local people had elected, and installing his cronies to act as âdictatorsâ over these cities. Their mission? Cut services to save money so he could give the rich even more breaks. Thatâs where the idea of switching Flint to river water came from. To save $15 million! It was easy. Suspend democracy. Cut taxes for the rich. Make the poor drink toxic river water. And everybodyâs happy.

Guys if ur gonna scroll past this at least read number 5. I havenât seen stuff to confirm this but i just looked it up and itâs true, and they didnât even warn the community that they were going to be doing military testing. This is unprecedented torture by the government.
Itâs not unprecedented but it is torture.
