everytime I hear about children of the corn I think about the guy I met at comic con who actually lived in the town they filmed that movie at, and on the farm where they filmed in the corn. he was a teenager at the time and him and his friends would get drunk on moonshine and rustle the corn and let the air out of the tires of the production team’s trailers and shit. and now there’s Wikipedia pages about how the children of the corn set was haunted and they thought they angered god but it was really just drunk hillbillies

I don’t like adding to posts but I also have a funny story like this, so I was watching the movie the Blair witch which takes place in burkettsville maryland, which to me is so funny because that is were my grandfather lives and the town is literally just old people and cows with their main street consisting of a post office. Well anyway he told me that after it came out people were coming in like bus loads to the town to find the witch and my grandfather lives up in the Mountain area and people were up in his property trying to find the witch and it made him angry so he went out and hung up stick people and stacked rocks and it freaked the people out so they started thinking something was out there when really it was my 80 year old Italian grandpa who wanted people out of his woods.

We had ghost hunters come to a historic house in my town to film and if you think every high school kid in town respectfully stayed at home that night instead of going to fuck up that filming you’re dead wrong.

[animentality]

this is comforting, actually, sometimes paranormal things are just a bunch of bored people dicking around in the woods.

you know what I want to see? an xc team getting thru and over all the obstacles - without horses. they have a shared golf cart for the long distances. for the jumps, they have to climb up on each other’s shoulders, pull each other over, boost each other up. sprint splashing thru the water together. everybody crawl over the log. now back into the golf cart. zoooom.

[transperceneige]

#don’t tell me you wouldn’t fucking kill to see this #especially if they’re drunk #and the rules say that they have to keep their hands linked the entire time otherwise they’re disqualified

the entire FEI’s marketing team has nothing against you, this is the kind of content that could go viral and promote eventing like I’d pay fuckin money to see this

[equikage]

addendum: they have to wear mics so you can hear them giggling and also swearing when someone accidentally kicks someone in the face

can someone please draft an extremely professional proposal and send it to the FEI??? i think we need this. as a community. as a species

Do you see that? Looks like a joke image, right? Well, it isn’t.

This happens in Venezuela. It looks like nobody knows how is our crisis, because I’ve talked with a lot of people (Americans, French, Canadian and even Mexican people) who really don’t know what is happening.

I’ll explain the imagen.

In Venezuela, we haven’t medicines, even in the hospitals. This is because a patient with hypoglycemia is being attended in this way, because the hospital don’t have dextrose for the people. This is happening in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. But not only in Caracas, is confirmed that in Maracaibo too, and who know where too.

Another cases:

“I take prednisone for animals because I can’t found it anywhere and it helps me, isn’t logic, but our health can’t wait”

“Confirmed, I’m medic performing in so many decadency. We even’t have privates places for dextrose for decompensated diabetics and believe me I could write for hours about so many that I’ve lived in the middle of this catastrophic crisis, where personally I’ve take with me a hurted pacient behind of a 350 because we haven’t ambulances, where we haven’t gloves for protect ourselves and a lot of  things like that, this is the reality…. It must be give “ORALLY” because the drink is rich in glucose (Sugar) for these pacients this imagen showes [She means the soda imagen] how is conected to a micromanager where it doesn’t looks very good… But it’s valid by an OROGASTRIC probe. As a heroic way, becase like we know “It’s incorrect”.

I even can give my own testomony. My mom is sick, and she must work everyday, I can’t help her because my leg is broken, and my brother must help his own family. She’s in pain everyday, and the money is too hard to found. If there’s money, but there’s no medicine. And, if there’s medicine, there’s no money, because all the treatments are very expensive, like everything, for our inflation on the 1600%.

Please, help us.

I’m sorry, guys. Can you help me to spread this? :C I need that people know about Venezuela’s situation. I’m sorry for bother you.

[femboy-fever]

I’d be very interested in seeing more information on this. This sounds like something out of a post-apocalyptic nightmare novel.

[sao801]

Sure thing, my friend!

Since 2014, our crisis is worse with the health zone. There’s no too many medicines, and a lot of operations and treatments are delayed for this same reason.

The hospitals don’t have spaces, litters or beds for the patients.

If you go to a farmacy, there’s no medicine.

A lot of hospitals are in a terrible state.

Supplies that were lacking in public hospitals included sterile gloves and gauze, antiseptics, alcohol for medical use, scalpels, needles, catheters, intravenous solutions, nebulizers and surgical sutures. It was even common to lack basic cleaning supplies (such as bleach), which are essential to ensure a sterile environment in hospitals. Unhealthy conditions have led to in-hospital infections that could have been prevented.

And this is only talking about the health zone.

If we talk about the food shortage and the hyper inflation…

We must do LOOOOOONG lines for hours for buy the basic food. Like flour, sugar, rice, pasta, meat, chicken…. 

We only can buy one time at the week, for the last number of our ID. 

If you search in Google “The next Venezuela”, you’ll see we aren’t a country anymore. We are a level in the shitmeter.

[femboy-fever]

Christ, I’m so sorry. If there are any charities or reputable organizations we can donate to, I’d love to share links to them. ;;

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

Y'all this shortage of necessities shit had been going on in Venezuela for at least a decade. I have never been able to help because I don’t know what charities are allowed in or out of Venezuela and I don’t trust the people who run those charities to tell the truth.

Please - someone IN Venezuela. Give me a name. A valid website. Something. I will do my damnedest to make something happen, even if it’s just a few families getting fed a few days.

(Love how they voted the fucker out and he’s still in power. Just. So awesome. -_-)

[influentialcreativity]

This is the first time I see a post on this site about my country and it breakes my heart… Because I want to give you names of charities so you can actually help us but I know people that tried to donate meds and food but our fucking goverment blocked that help. They refuse to accept aid. They are so fucking sick of power that just don’t care about us.

The only way we have to fight this crisis is through social media, we use twitter to find meds and food and we came up with a few apps like Donamed or Akiztá to help us find what we need. 

There are a bunch of twitter accounts dedicated to locate meds, such as: @spvzla, @MedicinasEquiv, @Flapastillita, @compartex1vida, @sanandove, @Donatumed, @AyudaMedicinasV y @DonandoMedicin1

For the people out there that want to help, like I said… it’s hard to tell you how you could do that because there’s no warranty that we’ll get the help. Still, I won’t let them win so I did my research and I found a few websites that I think you guys can trust and can donate to.

http://comparteporunavida.com/ —> With your donation, this people get formula and nutritional suppliments for children in hospitals and homes in need.

http://www.ayudahumanitariavenezuela.org/english.html —> You can go to their online shop to buy medical supplies from a wish list, which are then delivered to those in need.

https://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/donate/sponsor-a-child/ —> I think you can choose and sponsor a Venezuelan child.

http://www.chamos.org.uk/about-us/ —> They provide financial support for children to acquire medical, educational or other essential equipment.

http://www.corazonymanosenaccion.com/dona_ahora.htm —> The thing with this site is that the bank accounts they work with are from here, so I don’t know the process when it’s an international donation.

The other sites I could find two gofundme created by people like you and me, I hope they mean well and that the money they receive reaches the people who really need it.

https://www.gofundme.com/FoodtoVenezuela

https://www.gofundme.com/help-venezuela

If anyone knows more valid websites where people can go and make their donation, please feel free to add it.

And of course  SPREAD THE WORD! The more we all know about the crisis, the bigger chance we have of making a difference in the lives of those who are suffering.

Petkeeping metaphor

So imagine you have this dog.

Your dog is in a bubble.

You can change where the bubble is, change its size, its shape, its contents, everything.

You can interact with your dog through the bubble and from outside the bubble, but you can’t enter the bubble.

You control literally everything about the bubble. You control how much air is inside the bubble. If you leave too many dog poops in the bubble, the smell will grow and could suffocate him. If you don’t add new air, he will suffocate. If you don’t feed him or give him water, he will die. If you don’t put things in his bubble to play with, he will become bored and depressed. If you don’t clean out his bubble, bacteria and fungus will grow in there and give your dog diseases. And your dog’s bubble doesn’t transfer heat well so he can get very cold very easily and die that way.

Now imagine your dog is smaller than your hand. And he has scales. And his bubble is full of water and made of glass and your dog is actually a fish.

Keeping fish is not easier than keeping any other pet.

It’s much more difficult because you aren’t only caring for your fish, you’re caring for their whole universe.

My finished armour!! Made from leather and hand dyed (just the base coat as that’s all I’ve time for so far!!) It fits me better than my mannequin though🙈 so hopefully I’ll get a few photos tomorrow at the convention, and then I need a photo shoot with my ponies and dogs 😍🦄🐶

quick question clint why is there a random cow in the background

[thornsinthyme]

this was in an episode of his show where he was retraining a rescue. He was introducing her to water in his cow pasture and this lake is where they drink from ( i think that’s what is was)

[bettaesthetic]

You, with a betta in a bowl: “Betta fish are lazy and don’t like to swim or do anything and that’s why they’re so cheap and only need a bowl and tap water.”

Me, an intellectual, with a 20 gallon tank and my betta zipping around at 200mph, wiggling furiously and demanding I feed him: *looks at wallet that’s empty since I spent $200 on fish* “-actually”

The Minnesota Zoo did a photo series of Zookeepers as Animals for National Zookeeper Week and it’s hilarious! (Source)

[braineaterz-deactivated20220525]

thats a good idea actually: free the animals caged against their will in an unfamiliar environment and replace them with shitty humans

[peduncling-away-deactivated2019]

Wow that’s a really rude thing to say about people who have dedicated their entire lives to looking after these animals and making sure their lives are as fulfilled and enriching as possible. These animals are not “caged”, they’re living in comfortable enclosures with all their needs provided to them. I don’t know a lot about the Minnesota Zoo but their enclosures are definitely not cages. 

And no, you can’t free these animals. They’ve lived their entire lives under human care and freeing them would kill them. But sure you continue to believe that animal behaviour is exactly like a Disney Movie where animals sit in cages and dream of freedom and where learning history isn’t a thing and where ~natural wild instinct~ switches on at the click of a button :)))

Take your misinformed, anthropomorphic rubbish elsewhere thanks

http://mnzoo.org/animals/care-enrichment/

[zooophagous]

Those “shitty humans” do more for endangered wildlife than edgy ar activists ever will. That zoo has a breeding population of Przewalskis wild horses, an animal so persecuted that it was EXTINCT except in zoos, and thanks to ZOOS it still exists and thanks to zoos we were able to put some back into the wild where a few small herds are now growing again.

Why do you hate wild horses so much and want them to go extinct yo?
