Idk why you’d give a dog fruit but cool! Here’s some safety tips.
“Idk why you’d give a dog fruit” because dogs love fruit and it’s a 100% healthier alternative to baked treats
DOGS ARE ALLOWED TO EAT BLUEBERRIES!! THE SWR FANDOM IS IN UPROAR!! “PROTECT THE BLUEBERRY 2K15″ BECOMES THE BATTLE CRY!!
Okay, but seriously:
Please Reblog, you might Save a Life.
Not just the life of a dog, but also the life of its human(s). Many people have therapy dogs. If they inadvertently lost their dogs because they do not know these facts, they might get into depression and that might not end well.
“why would you give that to a dog - ” no, stop. sometimes dogs get into things you didnt intend them to have. this is good information.
if u buy anything from my shop rn and send me an ask letting me know, i will draw u a tiny low quality possum on ms paint within 48 hrs. the greatest gift one can give
I'm studying to become a wildlife rehabber, and I'm currently hyperfocused on opossums. I've been obsessed with them. I shit you not I opened my front door to go get soda and almost stepped on him
He's very spicy which is good!! Our wildlife center opens in four hours so we'll be taking him there as soon as they open!
(dw he's in a crate with a heated rice sock and a towel to snuggle in, with room to move away from the heat if he needs to)
youre not gonna be able to bully the minecraft movie directors into reanimating anything because unlike with the sonic movie clearly the people who made this movie lack any personal nostalgia for it and dont get it beyond “game my kids play” and therefore just decided to take a popular ip and throw popular actors at it and spit out a corporate slop script and designs because they dont care about the viewers beyond their ability to consume and they dont care about the consumers’ time unless it gives them money. to them we are pigs and this is the scraps mixed in a pail with mud and worms for us to gobble up and keep growing their coffers. its not made because they care and its not made to be cared about and i promise in like 2 years it’ll disappear off streaming services because they dont care about it enough to pay to keep it around and obviously nobody’s gonna rewatch it. honestly just dont watch it. not even out of spite. there’s better things out there that respect your time and your hard-earned money
There’s a reason why we feel lonely even though we aren’t alone. It’s because loneliness is not about how many friends we have or how many people are in the room with us. It’s a disconnection from others. Being social doesn’t cure loneliness, loneliness comes when there is not a single person close enough to see past the illusion to who we really are and what we really feel inside.
Thank you @howdidyouallgetinmyroom for these glorious tags because “nowadays we can’t do photos without shaving bits off of people but this painter in 1941 painted ALL of this lady by hand stroke by stroke every glorious bit and i’m so overjoyed” FUCK YES
Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I’m a hobbyist blacksmith and I’m here to help!
Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don’t realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here’s a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!
Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.
You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they’re not the only things that can be made. I’ve made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it’s really amazing what can be done.
“Red-hot” is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)
Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.
As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like “okay, cool! I’m gonna make stuff, and I’m gonna end up in the hospital at some point!” Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I’ve been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don’t even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you’ll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)
A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that’s relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there’s a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you’re writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it’s like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn’t work like that, Steven Universe.
Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you’re working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you’re welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn’t work like that, Steven Universe.
Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.
Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn’t invented to make small things.
If there’s anything here I didn’t mention, just ask and I’ll do my best to answer.

Chinese weighlifter Li Wenwen successfully defended her title, winning the gold medal in the women’s over 81kg category at the Paris Olympics on Sunday!
In her private life, the Li is actually a fan of traditional Chinese Hanfa.
Reminds me of Jason Kander, former Missouri Secretary of State. When he went to the VA hospital to treat his PTSD, he told the nurse that Obama told him he should run for president, and she thought he was delusional.
Correction: It was worse. She asked him how long he’s been hearing voices.
I think I’m gonna make this my go-to story. It’s not the worst I’ve ever heard, which is an asset because people won’t believe you if you tell them the actual bad stuff those people do. And it just perfectly sums up the casual arrogance everyone working in mental health seems to have. The way they treat you as inherently Lesser for being in their care.
If they can’t even handle basic, easily verified shit like “I’m a lawyer” they are never going to believe you when you tell them that you know how to manage a condition you’ve been dealing with for decades better than they can or will.
And then there’s Alexander Morris, who was put in a straitjacket, called racial slurs, and denied treatment for his potentially life-threatening heart condition when he told them he was the lead singer of the band he was lead singer of.
There are multiple parts of that article that are Jae droppingly awful but this one really gets me:
They almost let this man die in a straight jacket simply because they were too racist. And then when they realize their “mistake”, they tell him that his life is worth a 25$ supermarket gift card. Of course he’s suing them for $75,000 as he should but like. Can you imagine how insulted he must’ve been. The 4 Tops were one of the top Motown bands of all time. You can be at the top of the music scene and still, they’ll kill you because you’re black. And they’ll use fake claims about mental illness and “aggression” to justify it
- always tidy after yourself before bed. dishes are washed and put away. quick vaccum/sweep of the floors. counters are wiped down. throw blankets are shaken out and folded. kitchen sink is scrubbed down. pour baking soda & vinegar once in a while down the drains.
- throw out garbage & disinfect bins every day!
- take care of your appliances! stoves and fridges, especially, accumulate a lot of debris and dust. every so often (for me personally, every other week) pull them out of place to dust and mop behind. microwaves and inside oven are also very important to keep clean. i also clean inside my fridge every week before groceries, and leave baking soda fridge deodorizer inside to eliminates odours. i also like to deep clean the dishwasher, removing the filter and cleaning it + run a cleaning cycle with vinegar every other week!
- clean/wipe down cabinets, counters, any flat surface, weekly. especially in the kitchen where cooking is always done. don’t forget forgotten places like baseboards, behind your toilets, walls, etc. more hard to reach places can be done every other week or so.
- bedsheets, couch throw blankets, pillow covers, small rugs, etc; any fabrics that you’re constantly in touch with should be washed once a week. as for more higher maintenance items such as big rugs & curtains can be done once or twice a month.
- baking soda or vinegar thrown into your laundry cycles help remove any lingering odours on fabrics. and in topic of laundry, make sure you’re keeping your machines clean and drained (if possible) and always leave your washing machine door open after use to avoid mold & mildew odours.
- make your own upholstery/room sprays with your favourite essential oil smells + water. i also like making small sachets with herbs like lavender to hide inside couch cushions, closets, clothes drawers, etc;
- open your windows every day to let in fresh air.
