YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!  YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.

Oh thank god

Now everyone prep for the inevitable re-try in a few months or a year

Know this, the House will not vote on this. The only way the House will vote is if the Republicans and Paul Ryan no longer hold majority in the House. They ONLY WAY THAT HAPPENS is if they are voted out in November. The earliest we can repeal the FCC ruling is in January 2019. Get registered. Go vote.

^^^ This. Read the fine print. This is a victory but the war is far from over. REGISTER TO VOTE. get your friends registered. Vote in November. It’s the only way.

There’s some serious fracturing in the Republican party right now, and both parties have expressed interest in Net Neutrality. Call your MOCs even if they’re Republican. Don’t just go along with this defeatist ‘they won’t listen’ shit. It’s true, they might not, but call them anyways. Make them get on the record about it. REMIND THEM THEY ARE UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

Call your members of congress if you want net neutrality. Don’t just say they won’t listen and refuse to try. If people did that, the senate wouldn’t have passed this either.

If they tell you they want to go the legislative route (which is a possibility – they’ve said before they’d prefer legislating Net Neutrality into law rather than repeal the resolution that killed it) tell them that’s great, but there’s no good reason you can’t repeal the resolution that got rid of Net Neutrality and THEN enshrine it in law. They can do both. Tell them that.

poesiariptide:

don’t even pretend like y’all have such a hard time finding age-appropriate fancasts for Robert’s Rebellion cause here you go:

  • Aerys is in his early 40s
  • Rhaella and Tywin are in their late 30s
  • Doran is in his mid-30s
  • Rhaegar, Elia, Arthur and Oberyn are all in their mid-20s 
  • Brandon, Robert, Ned, Stannis and Howland are in their late teens to early 20s (I think Ashara would also be in this category)
  • Lyanna,

    Catelyn, Lysa, Littlefinger

    Jaime and Cersei are in their mid to late teens (especially Lyanna cause you guys have got to stop fancasting 30-year-old women just to make a certain ship look better)

  • Benjen and Edmure are preteen-early teen
  • Tyrion, Willas, Arianne, Garlan, Viserys, Renly and Rhaenys are all children
  • Aegon (yes I mean Elia’s son), Quentyn and Loras are toddlers
  • Jon, Meera, Robb, Dany and Margaery are babies

Greyjoy edition! 

– Balon is in his early to late 20s, possibly the same age as Robert but more likely to be in his late 20s. Think 22-28, probably closer to 28. 

– Alannys should be barely older.

– Quellon is, at his youngest, in his late 30s, and is likely older.

– Rodrik is somewhere between 9 and 15.

– Maron is somewhere between 8 and 14.

– Asha’s about 7.

– Theon is roughly 4 years old.

– Euron is 15 to 27.

– Victarian is 14 to 26. 

– Urrigon is 13 to 15

– Aeron is 10 to 14.

how have i never heard of archive.org until today.. it’s an internet library that functions just like a real one, as in you borrow the books for 2 weeks and then they are returned to the archive. you can dl pdfs as well, but you’ll lose access after the 2 week period. it’s all free tho, literally just like a real library. i was searching for a cheap copy of this serial murder book from the 90s for my thesis and i found it for free on here. there’s like.. no gimmick at all? i’m so amazed. i literally just signed up and now i’m reading a super hq scan of this book for free. i love libraries.

Online libraries are super cool.

Well, I mean, Garfield does care

Anyone who’s ever owned a cat knows that they have thier own ways to show they love you

An often overlooked thing about Garfield is between the snark and schemes, he’s really a loving kitty

I guess these aren’t as memorable as the wackier strips

But Jon can always count on Garfield to make him smile when it really matters

And Garfield knows that Jon cares

I swear, my cat is the same way, the below picture is an accurate portrait of how it is to have a dog and cat the same time.

Theory accepted

wholesome

It’s rare to see Garfield content on Tumblr that isn’t “Jon is a heartless monster” or “Garfield is some eldritch horror”

This WHolesome Garfield Content warms my heart

Guys – Jon works at home. He’s a cartoonist. He doesn’t go in to work on Mondays.

Garfield doesn’t hate Mondays because he has to work or Jon has to work. He hates Mondays because something unpleasant always happens to him on Mondays like a flower pot falling on him or Odie eating his dinner or Nermal comes to visit. This is like Garfield 101.

IMPORTANT! Gravy Train Dog Food was had a recall.

The food was tainted with and contains euthanasia. 

Source: (x)

A bunch of dogs, including my own, eat Gravy Train. It’s a very affordable wet canned dog food, so many people buy it. and my dog has to eat it because she’s lost most of her teeth and can’t chew.

Please, SIGNAL BOOST THIS! 

Even if you don’t have a dog, your followers probably do, and plenty of them are at risk.
You could save a life.

J. M. Smucker is “withdrawing” all lots of certain Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Skippy and Ol’ Roy canned dog food products manufactured since 2016 because they might contain pentobarbital, a sedative used in pet euthanasia.

An FDA alert was posted Friday [February 16, 2018].

“The FDA’s preliminary evaluation of the testing results of Gravy Train samples indicates that the low level of pentobarbital present in the withdrawn products is unlikely to pose a health risk to pets,” reads Friday’s FDA alert. “However, pentobarbital should never be present in pet food and products containing any amount of pentobarbital are considered to be adulterated.”

The Gravy Train flavors involved are: Gravy Train with T-Bone Flavor Chunks, 13.2-ounce cans; Gravy Train with Beef Strips, 13.2-ounce cans; Gravy Train with Lamb & Rice Chunks, 13.2-ounce cans; Gravy Train with Chicken Chunks, 13.2-ounce and 22-ounce cans; Gravy Train with Beef Chunks, 13.2-ounce and 22-ounce cans; Gravy Train Chunks in Gravy with Beef Chunks, 13.2-ounce cans.

The Kibbles ‘N Bits Variety Packs recalled are: 12-cans Chef’s Choice American Grill Burger Dinner with Real Bacon & Cheese Bits in Gravy, Chef’s Choice Bistro Tender Cuts with Real Turkey Bacon & Vegetables in Gravy; 12-cans Chef’s Choice Bistro Hearty Cuts with Real Beef, Chicken & Vegetables in Gravy, Chef’s Choice Homestyle Meatballs & Pasta Dinner with Real Beef in Tomato Sauce; 12-cans Chef’s Choice Homestyle Tender Slices with Real Beef, Chicken & Vegetables in Gravy, Chef’s Choice American Grill Burger Dinner with Real Bacon & Cheese Bits in Gravy, Chef’s Choice Bistro Tender Cuts with Real Beef & Vegetables in Gravy.

Regular Kibbles ‘N Bits 13.2-ounce cans pulled Chef’s Choice Bistro Tender Cuts with Real Beef & Vegetables in Gravy; Chef’s Choice Bistro Tender Cuts with Real Turkey, Bacon & Vegetables in Gravy; and Chef’s Choice Homestyle Tender Slices with Real Beef, Chicken & Vegetables in Gravy.

Skippy varieties pulled are 13.2-ounce cans of Premium Chunks in Gravy Chunky Stew; Premium Chunks in Gravy with Beef; and Premium Strips in Gravy with Beef.

The only variety of Ol’ Roy, Walmart’s house brand, pulled is Turkey Bacon in 13.2-ounce cans.

If your dog has already eaten contaminated food it is likely going to be fine because there was only a low level of the sedative, however, if you have any cans of the items listed above (or really any Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Skippy, or Ol’ Roy brand canned food to be safe) dated as being produced between January 2016 and March 2018, I wouldn’t chance feeding it – better safe than sorry, even if it is unlikely to pose a risk. In a bit of further digging, it appears that the recalled products have a best before date in 2021, so I would avoid any products made by J. M. Smucker that have a best before date in that year as well.

Keep your pets safe!

this is true but it was from February.

I reblogged it for those who still have them because of the 2021 best before date.

Twilight may be trash but at least they cast actual native americans to play natives

you know you’ve fucked up when Twilight does something better than you

Okay story time

So I went to college at Western Washington University, which is super close to the Lummi reservation.

I went to see New Moon in theaters with a couple of friends (we love hatewatching stuff, and had a few drinks before going to the theater). We were super confused when we sat down, because for some reason about half the theater was full of 12-year-old boys. The movie starts, it’s just as terrible as we expect, and then about halfway through the movie theatre erupts into cries of THERE HE IS!!! THERE HE IS!!!

Turns out the boys had come to see their Lummi buddy who had been cast as one of the werewolves in the movie. It was absolutely adorable, and my friends and I instantly felt super irresponsible for having come to a movie to trash the film a kid’s friends went to to support.

Hey guys FYI the Quileute tribe (the one depicted in Twilight) is currently fundraising because they have to move their entire town of La Push to higher ground to avoid everything being destroyed by climate change related rising oceans. Maybe give them some money okay.

https://mthg.org/

help them out but also remember that the Quileute tribe disagrees with their portrayal in Twilight and have been trying to dispel misconceptions that Meyer created
