There's a part 2

To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord’s work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

Since the tag BLM isn't trending anymore, it's the right time to remember that black lives matter even if our feed is back to normal

Fighting Covid When Kept Home

This was shared on a Covid survivor group…have heard many of these before but it seems helpful: HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME when you are not hospitalized.

“When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her, What can I do to help fight this at home? She said:

1. Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lie on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in.

2. Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have.

2. When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lie back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs. 

3. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial.

4. Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus. These are good for Potassium. 

5. Do not drink anything cold -  have it at room temperature or warm it up. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. (as a singer I know milk products produce phlegm and always advised my students to have none for 3 days before a performance)

6. Vitamins D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity. 

7. Drink a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter. 

We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn’t a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid when you are not critical. I hope this helps you or someone you know, just as it has helped me.”

(Wow, @thetimetostrikeislater  wish you’d had this info when you were ill)

@cptdorkery  @fortheloveoftrekuniverse  @peridotsarelongterm

I definitely wish I had this info when I contracted Covid back in March😓 it was so hard on my lungs! and I couldn’t go to the hospital because it was too full. Stay safe my friends.

HOT Mesopotamian singles in YOUR AREA !

Pencils produced in the 1990s with the anti-drug slogan “Too Cool to Do Drugs” were recalled because, when sharpened, they read “Do Drugs”.

This is actually a great description of the Anti-drugs programs of the 1990s. They were so poorly put together and set up, that most kids ended up doing more drugs.

The programs where set up like a lecture, some films and then a test to see if we were listening. We mostly weren’t, it wasn’t very interactive. I don’t remember any kind of Q&A.

The programs didn’t explain the effects or damages of drugs very well, they did make it clear that they were ‘bad’ but didn’t go into details or talk about the long tern effects and addictions. They also made a lot of harmful stereotype observations about what a drug-user looked like, what their life was like and what kind of family they had. (I remember a lot of ripped jean-jackets, slang, poor families and other weird stuff in the videos they showed us.)

The main slogan we where taught was ‘Just Say No’ but they didn’t really offer advice on How or Why to say no, or what do in case saying no didn’t work.

The big thing I remember about the anti-drug class that my middle school had was the advice that if our friends did drugs or tried to get us to do drugs then we should just stop being friends with them. Like it’s really that easy to just ghost your friends, whom you see everyday, and instantly make new ones.

Wolves React To Gamekeeper Who Had Been Away On Maternity Leave

“WHERE’S YOUR PUPPY! WE WANNA SEE YOUR PUPPY! DID YOU JUST HAVE THE ONE? DO YOU HAVE THEM WITH YOU? ARE THERE PHOTOS?”

I’m not a hundred percent positive but I’m pretty sure this is the wild life center where I visited wolves.

And the safety briefing included the question “So if you’re pregnant, do you want to know or not?”

Turns out there had been a bit of an awkward situation once where the keepers had casually mentioned a woman’s pregnancy in a group, and she herself didn’t even know yet. Turns out the wolves are excellent at telling if you’re pregnant and the keepers can tell based on their body language.  They get all odd and careful around pregnancy. (Even wolves knows that you have to take care of pregnant people.)

So they definitely knew she was pregnant.

And if I remember my BBC documentaries right, a wolf will leave the pack to give birth and introduce the cubs to the pack once she feels ready for it. And maternity leave is flexible but often around 6 months so they’re going “YOU WERE GONE FOREVER! WE WERE SO WORRIED! WHERE ARE THE CUBS?? WE HAVE TO GREET THE CUBS!!“ 

Also the two on her back are fighting over who gets to greet her first. Giving and receiving attention is a commodity that goes by hierarchy and if you don’t accept that there will be scuffles.. The wolf lying down next to her isn’t chill about her coming back, it’s just submissive to the other wolves and waiting for it’s turn to show excitement.

Now I can see why we domesticated these adorable jerks.

Wolf packs have maternity leave?

Wolves: better than American companies.

a PSA created by Ron Wimberly ( @d-pi ) and the National Lawyers Guild. Meant for NYC in specific but good advice to anyone out there. “I am exercising my constitutional rights to remain silent and have an attorney” and “I do not consent to a search” are the only things you should ever say to a cop asking you questions.

Wording is incredibly important here guys! Do not say “I want a lawyer”. That can be interpreted as a statement of fact and not an invocation of your rights. Specifically say that you are invoking your right to an attorney and that you are invoking your right to remain silent

Seattle PD sent seven police cars to arrest the guy who filmed them macing a child and are holding him without bail on trumped up charges of “Unlawful discharge of a laser pointer.”

Seven police cars. No bail. This is retaliation.

Link to Twitter thread

So if you film the cops macing a child you can be held without bail on charges of “Unlawful Discharge of a Laser Pointer”. Meanwhile the cops that committed felony assault on video when they shoved a 75 year old man to the ground have been released on their own recognizance - meaning they did not even have to post bail to go home and sleep in their own beds.

You couldn’t make this shit up.
