Dog owners please be aware.

[teamvoorhees]

REBLOG THIS PLEASE

This is Snopes-confirmed. Also be aware this is very common in sugar free food of many kinds. The retriever puppy who I know of who died of xylitol poisoning got hold of a pack of sugar-free gum.

[veterinaryrambles]

Always good to remind folks - if it has xylitol, KEEP IT AWAY FROM DOGS! It induces profound hypoglycemia and liver failure and is life-threatening :(

[ainawgsd]

Friendly reminder to read ALL of the ingredients if you ever give any kind of “human” food or table scraps to your pets.

[dusk-scythe]

I don’t normally reblog these types of things but DOGS ARE IMPORTANT. 

[momma-d]

This is true!

A funny thing about introducing a new queen into a hive that has lost its queen (or one that you’ve killed because her brood was too fighty). 

You have to introduce the new queen into the hive with these special queen cages that are stopped up with candy, and are open enough to let the hive smell the new queen, but not open enough that they can get in there and kill her.

Because they will kill her. 

When you first put the new queen in she smells like an intruder, but by the time it takes the bees to eat through the candy and free the queen, the queen’s pheromones will have had time to work and the hive will have gotten used to her.

From the outside this kinda seems like: 

“Yeh, we were all going to murder you to death before, but we’re full of candy now, so we’re cool. Oh yeh, and how about you be the new queen and stuff. Yeh, that’s cool too.” 

[speciesofleastconcern]

beekeeping is really weird

[angeldrake3]

Listen, strange bee queens lyin’ in cages distributin’ candy is no basis for a system of government.

[colgatebluemintygel]

i dont even have guilty pleasures anymore i just like stuff and if people have a problem with that they can go fuck themselves

Finally finished Zero. Crazy hair but I didn't want to trim it or it would lose the curl. #steampoweredgiraffe

Man though you know what makes me sorta sad is when nerdy, “quiet” kids latch on to me during camp and they just talk and talk and talk about a thing they’re into (Skyrim, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, dinosaurs, whatever). And I see the kids just light up when they say something and I can chime in with an ‘oh hey, are you talking about [x]? I love that thing! Tell me more about it.’

Like, their parents will warn me ‘so-and-so is pretty quiet and hard to engage’ but no, man, just listen, your kid is so smart and so into This Thing, they’ll engage like fuck and talk your damn ear off it you let them. Frame it in their damn terms. Or! Just! Listen to them about their Thing! And they will engage with the rest of the material! Because they know you care about them! Amazing!!!

[knightoflodis]

Quiet kids are usually that way because either no one listens, or there is always someone more dominant speaking wise in their group that always talks over them and then they give up. Some quiet kids are starved for attention and really really want to talk, but don’t always get the chance to

Everyone who reblogged this are good people. Bless you, this made me happy to read

Finally got around to making Rabbit. Love the articulations of Monster High dolls. Few more details left and she's ready to rock. #steampoweredgiraffe

[jenniferstolzer]

As part of being trapped inside by an ice storm, my mother, sister, and I went through some old boxes in our basement including a ton of old art I did as a child. 

So I thought I share with you, Tumblr, Baby Jen’s first fanart! These were drawn ages 5-7 years old and include Jetsons, Flintstones, Beauty and the Beast, Rocky and Bullwinkle, An American Tale, Aladdin, Power Rangers, Little Mermaid, and Ninja Turtles.

Budding talent

[liberiproject]

I was visiting my parents during Christmas and since I couldn’t bring my workstation with me, I kept myself occupied during the holidays by making a tiny Hatchworth sculpture.

Haven’t done this for almost 4 years and I thought I give it a shot.

Originally, I planed to make a Spine, because he is the easiest but then I decided it had to be Hatchworth because of recent SPG news.

Have a nice New Year!

[rock-fish-deactivated20201231]

this is awesome!!

[momma-d]

I love this! So well done. Excellent!!

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Stay woke

Is this true?

[mallninjacode-deactivated201812]

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”

You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

[redbloodedamerica]

Yeah signal boost because not enough people know about this and seriously FUCK SUSAN G. KOMEN THEY ARE THE ACTUAL WORST

It’s that time of year again, please remember Komen is the actual worst

[sofia-ciel]

Komen For The Cure is pretty much awful.

My mother died in 1996 from breast cancer. Most cancer charities are scams, in that people throw fancy parties and get rich off them and very little money goes into research or support for patients. Here are some vetted cancer charities that get good scores on Charity Navigator and pay medical expenses or fund research:

Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Cancer Research Institute

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

63 four star rated cancer charities on charity navigator
