Puppies soon!

It might seem a bit odd for a tech at a shelter to be excited about a pregnant dog about too give birth, but i helped nurse her through pneumonia and emaciation so I’m happy that she’s healthier and finally going to not be full of 10+ puppies. She arrived at about 50 days along and this is day 63. She also was found running loose with an intact male husky that we are assuming is dad.

So the entire shelter is basically on puppy watch and demanding updates from the foster mom and were all going nuts over puppies. We’re human and well… Puppies.

So apparently she waited for my coworker to get off work (she’s super bonded and won’t sleep unless my coworker is snuggling her), was let out to pee, and then dragged foster mom to the whelping box and went into labor proper! I should have puppy pictures to share tomorrow morning!

I seriously love this mama dog. She’s so sweet and just wants to be loved and even dad is unusual calm and affectionate for a husky. The babies should be really good tempered with such parents. And they’re gonna be little potato pups and I hope they’re all sorts of colors and patterns and eeeeeeeeeeeee

The first puppy has landed!

He has husky face mask! Looks like husky is indeed the daddy!

puppy #2 and it’s a little boy. Looks like he’s going to take after dad.

Mama dog is popping babies out left right and center now. There was a 2 and a half hour break between the first 2 and now there’s five total, 4 of those born in the last hour. Four of the pups are pale, leaving the first born girl sticking out like a sore thumb.

Final tally was 13 puppies! I was sure there was at least 12 (vets thought 10 so HA!). When foster mom sends me a family pic ill post it. Most puppies are pale colored apparently.

Baaaaaaabiesssssss!

Lookit how proud she is!

Good tweet is good.

BONUS

This is one of the funniest skits of all time

It’s what happened to Jews in Germany in 1938 when their passports were declared invalid. That is what is beginning to happen here, now, to Hispanic citizens along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.

Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.

The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens’ homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another.

The administration is currently launching an effort to take citizenship from people who they suspect of fraud in obtaining it. Fraud in these cases is exceedingly rare. The last time the government tried to strip people of their citizenship was, according to Columbia Professor Mae Ngai, during The Red Scare of the 1950s. As Ngai remarks, McCarthyism is not typically remembered as a good period in American history.

There is good reason to believe that this could portend still worse things to come for the U.S. Hispanic population, unless people begin to speak out loudly, and fast.

First, they came for the Hispanics and I did nothing.

Then they came for (fill in the blanks) and I did nothing.

Then, when they came for me, there was no one to do nothing.

GUYS.

SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.

IT WILL HAUNT NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN.

DONT BE SILENT. PASS THIS AROUND. Let everyone know it’s happening!

Reblogging, for what that’s worth (I’m old enough to know better than to confuse rebloggin something on Tumblr with activism).

But I don’t know what to do. I’m honestly terrified myself, never mind an extremely introverted person dealing with a nasty bout of anxiety right now. I’ll vote, sure, as I always do, but I’m just scared.

If this is what you can do, then it is what you must do.

Everyone has their strengths. Everyone has their weaknesses.

If your strength is ensuring the information gets out there, then that’s what you do. Street-level activism isn’t for everyone — some of us write policy, some of us lobby, some of us are archivists and others are historians and some of us just show up with anger and two hands and a sign.

It’s no more, and no less; it’s just your best.

But if you’re scared, be scared. And then get pissed that someone could make you feel that fear.

Don’t stay afraid; get angry, and then get to work!

Okay but sins like the religious concept or sins like the trigonometry term

A video captured after everyone had left the house for the day.

Supergirl costume designs that are infinitely better than her current one by Cory Walker

ALL OF THESE BUT MOST OF ALL THE MIDDLE ONES IN THE FIRST AND SECOND ROW

(and the entire last row is p. cute)

AISHBRIE THE MIDDLE ONE THE MIDDLE ONE

AHHH THE BRAID THE BRAIIIIID

all of Cory Walker’s designs for Kara are fantastic! I dare you to chose just one. :O

(hint: it’s impossible)

Oh my GOD. Reblogging again, because *shit*. What kills me? All of these designs are *different people*. This isn’t the same soulless doll worked into different clothes, you know? Every single one of these Karas has a personality all her own and a life and a history and lksfjlksjdflksjdfljg

people who complain about dinosaurs “not being scary anymore” because its been discovered they have feathers and are closely related to/ancestors of birds are so bizarre like

peacocks are synonymous with vain, frivolous beauty and they will attack cars. they will attack you while you try to get to your car. they’re like six feet of useless feathers and they will destroy you. imagine if they were carnivorous and had functional spurs. 

a t-rex could look like a gay disco ball and i guarantee that you would fucking book it if it had a problem with you

listen

listen

have you ever met a swan

if anything the birdier they get the scarier they are

Australia literally fought a war against giant birds AND FUCKING LOST

@kidwithheadphones

Overheard in the student lounge:

“Oh man, I can’t deal with birds ‘cause they’re dinosaurs and sometimes it’s like they get this glint in their eyes and they remember.”

“Have you ever interacted with a goose? ‘Cause those things are dicks.”

If chickens were still the size of a T-Rex we’d all be dead. No question.

Feathered creatures that give some serious lie to the idea that feathered dinosaurs ain’t scary:

This is a bearded vulture, or lammergeier. It’s four feet long and has a nine foot wingspan and it eats bones.

This is a shoebill stork. It dropped the duck without biting down shortly after the picture was taken, but if it had decided not to-

… it could have been the end of the road for that duck.

This is the last thing a fish sees before a macaroni penguin eats it.

This is a secretary bird in the act of demonstrating to Lord Voldemort that he came to the wrong neighborhood, ese.

This is a goose.

This is a vulture.

This is a cassowary on the attack. 

Be glad I couldn’t find the actual gif of a pelican swallowing a fish, because it’s freakin’ Lovecraftian in its HEADS SHOULD NOT BEND THAT WAY factor. You’ll have to settle for the idea of a feathered dinosaur suddenly going GLORP and devouring its victims whole just like this lady here.

Steven Spielberg didn’t create these. These are the feet of an emu.

And this is what happens when a swan (this one is named Asboy; his father was Mr. Asbo, the first swan in the UK to get named after an anti-social behavior order in ‘honor’ of his tendency to attack boaters) decides it doesn’t like you. I should probably note that this one attacked a cow.

Respect the feathered dinosaur, yo.

Terrifying. The last two illustrate why you did not fuck around with the Children of Lir.

I suspected that a dinosaur could have been feathered after I heard that a T-Rex is the chickens’ ancestor.

For those who think dinos aren’t cool because they’re feathered…whatever, mutherfuckers.  Evolution doesn’t give two shits what you think is cool or not.

You showed a cassowary on the attack, but forgot to show what exactly it’s attacking with. Their feet are nearly identical to the Emu’s, except for one minor, teeny tiny detail: A five-inch claw for killing motherfuckers, raptor-style.

This is like the “fuck birds master post” and I love it because Honestly, Fuck. Birds.

DID I GHOSTWRITE THIS ENTIRE POST???
