Lowcountry Paws Unite: Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester Shelters are Severely Overcapacity

Summer temperatures have hit and Lowcountry animal shelters are facing a critical overcrowding crisis. Dogs and kittens are filling every av

If you live around the Charleston area, animal shelters are critically overcrowded and they desperately need people to adopt their cats, kittens, and dogs. Now through Sunday June 8, adoptions are only $50! I already have three cats (and my landlord thinks I only have two), so I’m sharing this with the hope that at least one person will see this and adopt a sweet little fluffball of their own.

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

'King of the Hill' Voice Actor Jonathan Joss Fatally Shot in Texas

8:41 AM PT -- San Antonio PD tells TMZ ... Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega was arrested and charged with murder. Bond has been set at $200K.

RIP to a legend! I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about John Redcorn as a character, but I’ve always loved him, especially the complexity about his relationship with the Gribble family and his deeply terrible rock music. The writers took their time, but John Redcorn ended up as a three dimensional character, not just an indigenous stereotype or Nancy’s sexy Lothario, and I think Jonathan Joss’ performance helped facilitate that transition. Even though it seems like his acting career had slowed in the past few years, he was only 59 and it’s a tragedy for his end to come from such senseless violence. 

I’d also like to take a moment to remember Victor Aaron, the original voice actor for John Redcorn, who tragically lost his life in a car accident in 1996 at only 39 years old. He only had the opportunity to appear in two episodes, but the character was roughly based on him. I don’t really believe in curses, but it’s definitely a sad coincidence both our John Redcorns died so young and so suddenly.

UPDATE

I was sad before learning this, now I’m fucking heartbroken and furious. I only got to learn Jonathan Joss was gay because he was murdered by a fucking bigot?! During Pride Month??? I’m beyond gutted. My love goes out to his husband and family.

King of the Hill balloon left over after my son’s birthday party. I feel like it belongs online.

I don't remember if you've ever made a blog post talking about this, but I feel the need to say it. Hank Hill is 100% undiagnosed autistic. I don't even think I need to elaborate. I mean, have you seen the way he is about propane. That's a special interest if I ever saw one. As an autistic person, Hank Hill is my favorite depiction of an autistic person.

I'm always talking about this i have been talking about this since I was 16 hank hill is so autistic

I was going to link to Standing Rock Institute of Natural History’s gofundme, but it appears it is no longer active. Here’s the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s general donation page.

The Standing Rock reservation has an astonishing wealth of fossil remains, and a relatively young paleontology program, but not much in the way of resources. Here’s the program’s Get Involved page, and here’s a really cool video talking about the subject from PBS’s Prehistoric Road Trip, if you have six minutes to spare.

Happy Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate!
