ANTI-BARFING SPIKES.

This is why they have such a problem with plastic bags. It’s because the unique structure of their esophagus makes it so that they can’t get rid of them.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Reblog to save a life?

This picture of brother Sean (left) and Michael (right) McQuilken  was taken by their sister in Sequoia National Park in 1975 moments before lighting struck where they were standing. Hair standing on its end along with tingling skin could be a sign of an imminent lightning strike.

Both Michael and his sister were unharmed by the lightning strike. Sean spent 6 months unconscious and suffered 3rd degree burns. Sean committed suicide in 1989 due to being unable to get over this tragic event and the injuries he got from it.

Helpfull Writing Tips

Want to improve you writing style? Check out these easy tips!

Very you’re sentence structure. Add periods randomly and extend other sentences unnaturally to make them longer, more repetitious, and longer.

EXAMPLE: Bob went. To the market to buy some dogs.

Use descriptive word. Sentences are boring without some good, strong, interesting, useful, descriptive description. 

EXAMPLE: Don’t just say “She looked with her eyes,” say, “She looked with her round, spherical, moist eyes.”

Use obejctive tone. This means using a voice in narration that objectifies you’re characters. When you characters are more like objects it’s easier to write them because you don’t need to give them human stuff like emotions and motives. They can just act to fit the plot.

EXAMPLE: Carla went to her morning class at school and when the aliens attacked she joined them in fighting Earth.

MAke up words when you don’t know the right one. This will not only ornaclate your readers, but they will also think your smarter because you know words that they don’t.

EXAMPLE: Richard felt he had to obfuscate the truth.

Use “passive” voice. This means when you get to a word that could be an action verb, instead “pass” the word over and use a better word, like “nestle” or “sponge.” These are good words. They are mine but I will let you use them.

EXAMPLE: There was a plot to sponge the king, but it was nestled by the knights.

Now you know writing. Go froth and write using these laws and you will write a good every time.

Uhhh

Local council called out on Twitter

4th Of July Pet Safety

* Take photos of your dog's face and full body if you don't already have current ones.

* Make sure microchip information is up to date with your contact info.

* Have your dog wearing its collar and tags.

These rules apply even if your dog will be staying home. My dog trainer gave us this lecture last weekend and said she's seen dogs jump through windows and break glass to escape in a panic. More dogs go missing over 4th Of July than any other time of year.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG'S COLLAR ON IF THEY WILL BE CRATED AS THIS IS A RISK FOR STRANGULATION.

Other tips:

* Use vet approved calming supplements or prescription sedatives if necessary.

* Turn on white noise like a fan or background noise like the radio to block out fireworks.

* Place your pet in a room with no windows such as a bathroom with their bed and comfort objects.

Bumblebee numbers dwindling, and one study points to picky diets

The next step will be to research why some bumblebee species are more finicky eaters than others.

In honor of vulture awareness day, let me ask you a question.

Do you love vultures?

You should.

Here’s why:

1, They are simultaneously the most majestic, and the most f*cking derpy of birbs. Observe -

2. THEY’RE SO FUCKING BADASS. We all know that they eat dead things. Eww, right? Wrong. They’re capable of digesting fucking rabies, cholera, hundreds of strains of bacteria that would straight up kill your ass given the chance. They deserve ALL of the respect, but they don’t get any, because ‘eww they eat dead things’. 

3. THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO - Some of the highest flying birds ever recorded, with amazing eyesight and smell. Vultures are highly specialised - yes, that means they sometimes have bald heads. So what? People are all over sphinx cats and those semi-hairless dogs.

4. If you think they’re ugly, well, look at these precious babs and tell me you still don’t feel anything:

I have more reasons, but, look, I’ll just get straight to the point: 

THEY’RE GOING EXTINCT, AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

Populations of some vultures have fallen more than 90% in the last 20 years, and that’s scary as fuck. Reasons for this range from livestock carcasses being contaminated with certain drugs, to poachers killing them off because vultures give them away. But whatever the reasons, they’re dying off fast, and we need to act before it’s too late. We need to help protect them and conserve them as much if not more than some of the ‘cuter’ endangered creatures.
