This is the 11th time -that we know about- this dog has bitten a Secret Service agent. He has only ever bitten Secret Service agents.

What does Commander know that we don’t?

[girlbossjodiarias]

GSDs are absolutely bred for temperament and commands* due to the legacy of the breed as a working dog in law enforcement, and I assume that the Secret Service, like all other law enforcement is trained on how to engage with GSDs and other working dog breeds and training where the presence of dogs is considered a security threat or liability. Aggressive and reactive dogs are pretty much aggressive and reactive towards all humans/animals.

Signs absolutely point to dangerous/aggressive/and therefore incompetent behavior by Secret Service agents specifically.

*also prevention of hip displasia** **one of my community college professors is one of the top breeders of GSDs for both law enforcement agencies and civilian owners so I wound up learning a lot about the breed

The Biden dogs - Major and Commander - haven't eaten the cat in the house or even bowled over the two elderly people. No other staff report bites. The president can afford the best dog trainers in the world.

The secret service is absolutely doing anything from teasing the dogs to abusing the dogs. Or just lying about play teefies. Secret service is pretty heavily maga and there have been occasional articles hinting Biden doesn't trust them.

I repeat, the fucking cat is still around and the old lady hasn't broken her hip being jumped on. Secret service's fault

So I went to read the Kids Online Safety Act, thinking that it couldn't possibly be as bad as what people are making it out to be, I mean I'm a lawyer and expert in statutory interpretation, it can't be that bad, right?

Oh no. KOSA IS that bad. It will literally eradicate queer people online.

The bill says that a "covered platform" - broadly defined as "anything on the internet a minor might use" which is literally the entire fucking internet- has a "duty" to protect minors from anything that might harm them, including "sexual exploitation" and other undefined terms

It also gives state attorneys general the ability to sue to enforce it.

So here's exactly what's gonna happen:

Wacko republicans, as they've been doing with increasing force this year and last, are going to sue any and every website in existence, saying that the mere existence of LGBT people online constitutes sexual abuse of minors. And websites are gonna be so afraid of not doing the most that they'll just axe all LGBT everything.

Like. Republicans have been calling all LGBT people groomers and child molesters for years. The lead Republican literally admitted this bill will be used to attack trans people.

This bill is BAD bad. I'm appalled that democrats are lining up behind what is clearly a republican Trojan horse to eradicate LGBT people from the entire internet.

Call your senator

this is a list of senators who have cosponsored KOSA; under 'Give Feedback on This Bill' there's a link that lets you get the contact of your senators and representatives pretty easily. if your senator's a cosponsor, tell them to cut that shit out. if your senator's not a cosponsor, tell them to keep not being a cosponsor.

The Bather

Tried for a twist on the classic art history trope of the bather :)

[teadrunktailor]

Can’t even start to describe how legit this is.

[rosswoodpark]

Everyone agrees! Your intestines squirming around like eels in your belly is horrifying!

[rosswoodpark]

IM SORRY THEY FUCKING WHAT NOW?

[thatthinginyourshoe-deactivated]

The racks even have hooks to keep them from squirming right off and onto the floor apparently. They desperately want to escape our bodies

[aesclepianbanshee]

Intestines are muscles, and function involuntarily. If your muscles did not squirm around, then they wouldn’t be able to move food through them, thus you wouldn’t gain any nutrients from anything you eat, and the food would spoil and make you sick. I agree the squirmy wormies are a bit unsettling, but hey it’s actually really good for you! Your intestines work so hard for it! Please give them a little love.

[official-liberty-prime-deactiva]

I don’t like that get them out

[brattylikestoeat]

Okay…this is unsettling.

#wait til you hear about how they put them back#they just stuff them back in and the mesenteric lining slowly pulls them back into place#no helping required#so it 100% looks like a bunch of squiggly eels getting comfortable in their space again (via lampfaced)

WLWGIF’S PRIDE MONTH CELEBRATION WEEK ♡ day 4: dynamic            ⤷ Nomi x Amanita (Sense8)

[girlactionfigure]

A fountain still standing in #Bern, #Switzerland depicts the #BloodLibel against #Jews. The Kindlifresserbrunnen (#Swiss #German for “Child Eater Fountain”) is located in the Kornhausplatz (Granary Place).

It includes a painted statue of an ogre wearing a pointed Judenhut (“Jewish hat,” which Jews were legally required to wear in German-Speaking #Europe - both as a form of humiliation, and so Christians could easily identify them) who is devouring a naked baby as he carries a sack full of three additional horrified babies on his shoulder.

The history: In 1293-1294, several Jews in Bern were tortured and killed, and others were robbed and expelled from the city after accusations of a blood libel. Bern Christian citizens absurdly and baselessly alleged “#TheJews” had tortured and murdered a boy named Rudolph.

The historical impossibility of this widely credited story was later demonstrated by Jakob Stammler, pastor of Bern, in 1888.

However, that would come centuries too late, especially as some Jews returned to Bern in the 14th century only to be accused – again, absurdly and baselessly – of poisoning wells during the #BubonicPlague in 1348. In response, a mob of Bern’s Christians rounded up the town’s Jews and burned them at the stake.

Finally, in 1392, all remaining living Jews were expelled from Bern. About 150 years later, this #antisemitic statute was erected for all to see and remember the "evil Jew" who would "eat Christian children."

It would be laughably absurd if it wasn't for the fact that many thousands of Jews were tortured and murdered (usually burned alive) across Europe over similar accusations over the centuries.

[hero-israel]

Rabid, genocidal antisemitism is and always has been the core of all European "society".

From Notre Dame to Prague, Europe’s anti-Semitism is literally carved in stone - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Obscene images mocking Jews and Judaism have been displayed throughout Europe since the early Middle Ages.

Never forget this when a European says they are "just criticizing" kosher slaughter, or circumcision, or Israel, or anything else in any way related to Jewish life.

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

Do the best you can

If it hurts stop

Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises
