so I went to the counseling center at my school to set up an appointment etc etc and I know they have a therapy dog there and I was like “where’s the dog?” and the receptionist was like ‘oh I’m sorry, she’s in a meeting right now’ and I look over at the other room and there is a fucking dog sitting in a chair at a long table sitting next to all these people in business suits and I felt like I was in a dream

“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it.

Extremely Important Update: in April 2023 the World Bird Sanctuary had an orphaned eagle chick in need of care, so they decided to see if Murphy could live up to his parental ambitions.
He successfully raised the chick, which is now thriving with the other juvenile eaglets!
Congrats Murphy, you made it happen through sheer determination.
(Pictures are from the Facebook page of the World Bird Sanctuary; I can’t link them directly because I don’t have a FB account and the site is a nightmare to interact with if you’re not logged in, constantly resetting and kicking you to registration pages.)
i’ll die on the hill that says “sapphic love isn’t inherently more wholesome and pure and saying it does will only hurt lesbian and bi women”
listen. if you go around talking about how much better and moral love between women is because male love is so sexual and bad, you’re not actually doing any good. i know too many lesbians who think they’re predatory just for being sexually attracted to women because #feminism. the idea that love between women is the non-evil sexuality you will only shame wlw for what you claim is evil male sexuality, whether it’s a sex drive or finding women hot or if it’s(god forbit) the masculinity, because these are all traits wlw will have. and you’re not helping.
also just btw- this is introductory TERF rhetoric. the idea that men are inherently evil and are always a threat to women simply by virtue of existence, and that women are inherently purer/safer/more wholesome simply by virtue of being women, is the ‘radical feminism’ part of the acronym. It’s gender essentialism, where “goodness” is given to women, and “badness” to men.
Honestly, it’s really fun how Dungeon Meshi haa the main party take on a teenage cat girl halfway through the series, except she’s covered in fur all over so nothing shows even when she’s naked, she’s arguably the most skilled combatant in the group, basically everyone treats her like a kid they’re taking care of, she acts like a feral cat begrudgingly choosing to adopt a group of humans instead of a needy kitten, she’s a picky eater, she’s immune to monsters that try to seduce you, and her past as a slave is directly shown to be traumatic and miserable to the point that her former owner literally made her have a magic seal on her neck that would murder her if she managed to escape.
She’s basically the antithesis of fanservice catgirls. Every single trait other series use to turn catgirls into sex objects is inverted to make for an entertaining and interesting character.
alright so Pangur got her claw stuck while rolling over in bed, and then just GAVE UP, which led to her being horizontally flattened in a way that gives her impossible girth and…… I’ll share, but just know that it’s an optical illusion. please. I swear to god she’s a healthy weight. I mean, a little chubby, but not like this.
Nosferatu is hilarious at times. When Orlok signs the paperwork to get that house and says, “now we are neighbors,” I heard quite a few chuckles in the theater I was in. Also, Ellen being like, “I pray my Thomas is ok,” just to see him in the family guy death pose the very next scene like a split second later? I was fucking dying.

I completely flooded the back of house today and everyone failed to react like a human. The person who noticed tried to alert me by standing directly behind me, pointing at the floor, and going ‘water’. And when I turned and looked, all I could muster was ‘oh thats cool.’ Really calmly.
And then my manager darted for the mop bucket like CAN YOU TWO DO SOMETHJNG PLEASE STOP JUST WATCHING IT

US Political and
Military Interventions since 1945
The US has launched
a series of military and political interventions since
1945, often to install
puppet regimes, or alternatively to engage in political actions
such as smear campaigns, sponsoring or targeting opposition political
groups (depending on how they served US interests), undermining political
parties, sabotage and terror campaigns, and so forth. It has done so in
nations such as

US Perversions of
Foreign Elections
The US has specifically
intervened to rig or distort the outcome of foreign elections, and sometimes
engineered sham “demonstration” elections to ward off accusations
of government repression in allied nations in the US sphere of influence. These
sham elections have often installed or maintained in power repressive
dictators who have victimized their populations. Such practices have occurred
in nations such as:
Philippines (1950s)
Italy (1948-1970s)
Lebanon (1950s)
Indonesia (1955)
Vietnam (1955)
Guyana (1953-64)

US Versus World at
the United Nations
The US has repeatedly
acted to undermine peace and human rights initiatives at the United Nations,
routinely voting against hundreds of UN resolutions and treaties. The
US easily has the worst record of any nation on not
supporting UN treaties.
In almost all of its hundreds of “no” votes, the US was the “sole” nation
to vote no (among the 100-130 nations that usually vote), and among
only 1 or 2 other nations voting no the rest of the time. Here’s a representative

Other Lethal US Interventions
CIA Terror Training
Manuals
Development and
distribution of training manuals for foreign military
personnel or foreign
nationals, including instructions on assassination,
subversion, sabotage,
population control, torture, repression,
psychological torture,
death squads, etc.
Specific Torture
Campaigns
Creation and launching
of direct US campaigns to support torture as an
instrument of terror
and social control for governments in Greece, Iran,
Vietnam, Bolivia,
Uruguay, Brazil, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama
Supporting and Harboring
Terrorists
The promotion, protection,
arming or equipping of terrorists such as:
Klaus Barbie
and other German Nazis, and Italian and Japanese fascists, after WW II
Manual Noriega
(Panama), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic),
Osama bin Laden (Afghanistan), and others whose terrorism has come
back to haunt us
Running the
Higher War College (Brazil) and first School of the Americas (Panama), which
gave US training to repressors, death squad members, and torturers (the second
School of the Americas is still running at Ft. Benning GA)
Providing
asylum for Cuban, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Haitian, Chilean, Argentinian, Iranian,
South Vietnamese and other terrorists, dictators, and torturers
Assassinating World
Leaders
Using assassination
as a tool of foreign policy, wherein the CIA has
initiated assassination
attempts against at least 40 foreign heads of state
(some several times)
in the last 50 years, a number of which have been
successful, such
as: Patrice Lumumba (Congo), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican
Republic), Ngo Dihn
Diem (Vietnam) Salvador Allende (Chile)
Arms Trade &
US Military Presence
The US is
the world’s largest seller of weapons abroad, arming dictators, militaries,
and terrorists that repress or victimize their populations, and
fueling scores of violent conflicts around the globe
The US is
the world’s largest provider of live land mines which, even in peacetime, kill
or injure at least several people around the world each day
The US has
military bases in at least 50 nations around the world, which have led to frequent
victimization of local populations.
The US military
has been bombing one Middle Eastern or Muslim nation or another almost continuously
since 1983, including Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iran, the Sudan,
Afghanistan, and Iraq (almost daily bombings since 1991)
This, then, is a
sampling of American foreign policies over the last 50
years. The FBI uses
the following definition for Terrorism: “The unlawful
use of force or
violence committed by a group or individual, who has some
connection to a
foreign power or whose activities transcend national
boundaries, against
persons or property to intimidate or coerce a
government, the
civilian population or any segment thereof, in furtherance
of political or
social objectives.” This sounds like the terrorism we just
experienced. It
also sounds a lot like the US policies and actions since
1945 that I’ve just
described.
This
is a version of an an original page atributed to Robert Elias, a US Professor
of Political Science , a list which, like so many others, has otherwise
‘disappered’
“US Perversions of Foreign Elections” should also include 2018 Brazil, now that it is confirmed that the FBI directly intervened to have the frontrunner jailed, resulting in the election of Jair Messias Bolsonaro
it is extremely funny how people on this site think george orwell books are in danger of being seized by the government
“i have important documents saved on my computer because they might get banned” and it’s fucking george orwell. not marx or lenin or mao but the guy who wrote fucking animal farm
to be fair, if the worry is that the CIA will get shut down it makes sense to be concerned about its publications :^)
