How to break out of a zip-tie- potentially life-saving information
I’m not sure how exactly this is relevant, but I just feel...
Some resources for those writing medieval-type stories:
how great would that be for a premise tho
a young girl leaves her home because the economy sucks and she can’t find a job, and winds up being...
Here’s an idea… If you’re not a fan/dislike something, then how about not clicking on things clearly marked as that something, instead of commenting
What are you doing here?: Your friendly reminder.
As a book, I love Ender’s Game to tiny pieces. It’s the anthem for the smart young outsider, and it’s a hell of an adventure story. I love it and I’m ashamed of how much I love it because it’s written by this man:
“Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage.” —Orson Scott Card
Orson Scott Card sits on the board of the National Organization for Marriage, attempting to ensure the second-class treatment of queer people and (impotently, but still) threatening to destroy the government over matters of simple equality. He is a frothing, virulent bigot.
Don’t pay to see his movie. Don’t let a cent of your money go to him or encourage the studio to make more films which make him more money to give to people who think pro-equality governments are their mortal enemy.

Lady Captain America and Lady Thor
Art by Yasmine Putri
One of the few female versions I’ve seen that portray the strength of the characters instead of being a vehicle to show Cap with a midriff or Thor with tremendous cleavage.
These are very cool.

just a friendly reminder that for over a hundred years, pit bulls used to be referred to as “the nanny dog” and their main job was as babysitters.
- in temperance tests (the equivalent of how many times your kid can poke your dog in the eye before it bites him) of all breeds the most tolerant was the golden retriever. the second most tolerant was the pit bull. temperament evaluations by the american temperament test society give american pit bull terriers a very high passing rate of 82.6%, while the average passing rate for the other 121 dog breeds tested was only 77%.
- pit bulls are not naturally human aggressive. in fact pit bull puppies prefer human company to their mother’s two weeks before all other dogs.
- no spayed/neutered, indoor pit bull has ever killed a person.
- contrary to the popular myth, pit bulls DO NOT have locking jaws.
- approximately 6000 pit bulls are put to death every day, by far the highest number of any breed euthanized.
This message is so important.
I’ve never met a pitbull that wasn’t adorable and affectionate, and I know quite a few.
I miss my Bucko. He was my baby boy.
I work at a no kill animal shelter, and many of the kennels are filled with pit bulls and pit bull mixes. They are so sweet and love getting attention, and there is only one that has behavioral issues, but they are not aggression problems. I never once met a vicious pit bull, and my best friend’s sister had the absolute sweetest pit bull ever, all she wanted to do was play fetch and she would drop the ball in my hand.
