Listen. I grew up with these dogs. Im a cat person, no shame, but Great Pyrenees are hands down my most trusted domestic animal and are hardcore as fuck.
When I was a kid, between six and fifteen, one of our Pyrenees would escort me, off-leash, between my grandmother's house and mine. I'd just have to call him, and he'd show up and walk me there, placing himself between me and anything he considered threatening- Cranky farm animals, holes in the ground, bodies of water, etc.
That same dog found a (unfortunately deceased) lamb my grandfather had buried a few hours earlier, dug it up, realized it was cold and not breathing, and carefully carried it to our barn, where he covered it neck-deep in straw and tried to cuddle it warm again to bring it back to life.
One of our older dogs, at about sixteen years old (keep in mind, this breed tends to average out at about 12 years max) had arthritis in his hips, a bad back, and a respiratory issue, was fucking ancient and essentially palliative, but would still go stock-still out of nowhere, let out one subtle "boof", and then set out at an awkward-yet-speedy bunny-hop sprint at the slightest whiff of a cougar, bear, or wolf. Like, grampa would jump fences. Gentle geriatric giant would kick up to 7k to protect the family, never mind the three other, much younger fogs already on the case.
When I was a baby, like a literal in-diapers infant, he would lay on the ground and let me dress him up as a wizard and crawl all over him with zero complaint.
His nephew was 100lbs and often alarmed visitors who mistook him for a bear, yet never so much as bumped into a person in his life and feared only string and kittens.
A Great Pyrenees is not only the best dog, but I would argue that it is also the MOST dog

MacTavish was in hell. Not actual hell, not yet, though he'd get there sooner than he hoped if that heat went on. No, he was stuck in his stuffy on base office, blinds drawn on the south facing window he was so generously given to let more light in during the shorter months. He would trade his nephew and niece for one of the shitty, moldy basement offices right now.
He'd managed to scrounge up a single rattling fan that looked like it was about as old as his gran and did roughly the same job as someone blowing air at him through a straw. There was a wet towel slung over his neck, dripping down his chest and joining the sweat rolling down his skin and he wanted nothing more than to tear all his clothes off and walk into the nearest body of water. Unfortunately, not only would MacTavish crumble to dust like the vampire he was slowly turning into the second he stepped out into the sun, he also still had work to do.
Debating just emptying his water bottle over his head he responded to another email while his laptop was half a degree away from blowing up in his face. He scrapped that idea as quickly as it popped up. The humidity in the room was so high that not even his sweat was drying anymore and adding more water would only turn him from vampire to a swamp monster, which somehow seemed even less appealing.
The email disappeared from his screen with a soft whoosh at the same time as the grandmother fan made a noise that could only be described as a death rattle. MacTavish looked up to witness the last rotation its blades would ever make before it stilled. Whatever meager air circulation the fan had put into motion was a thing of the past now, leaving him in a room approximating the South American jungle so closely he was about to declare it enemy territory when his door opened.
MacTavish was still glaring at the little fan that couldn't, choosing to ignore the living shadow that sauntered into his room covered in black fabric from head to toe. “Did you just take a shower?” Ghost asked, sounding way too chipper for a man currently standing unarmed behind enemy lines.
“No.” MacTavish refused to look up at him, instead turning back to his computer whose fans were running loud enough to rival the migraine pounding in his head now. Riley, as always, ignored his murderous tone, rocking on the balls of his feet. “I need your help.”
MacTavish went eerily still, fingers hovering over the keyboard as he very slowly lifted his head to look at him. He knew that tone. “Riley,” he warned. “C'mon, only gonna take a second, I swear. You need a break anyway.” MacTavish looked back at the screen, at the words blurring before his eyes, and sighed. At the very least he would get out of this swamp of an office.
“Fine,” he relented, getting up and walking around his desk. He didn't bother asking what Ghost needed help with; he wouldn't tell him anyway.
Riley’s eyes crinkled at the corners and MacTavish stubbornly looked away. “Lead the way then,” he grumbled, and nearly threw the wet towel at him for the cheeky, “Yes, sir,” he got in return but Ghost was already off and he had to hurry to catch up to him as he weaved his way through the base.
When he pulled him around a corner and into what should definitely just be a maintenance closet but definitely wasn't, MacTavish was starting to believe Riley was out to murder him, only to be surprised to find… a mini freezer shoved into the corner between dusty cleaning supplies. “What is this?”
Riley crouched down in front of the freezer, looking at him over his shoulder. “A freezer. Do you have a heat stroke already?” “What? No I–” Ghost reached in and pulled out a handful of ice lollies, holding them up to MacTavish. “Here, take ‘em.”
Now he was feeling like he really had had a heat stroke. “This is the problem you need help with?” Condensed water was dripping down his forearms, adding to his general wetness. Riley stood up and plucked one out of his hands. “You're supposed to eat them,” he said calmly, rolling his balaclava up over his nose to tear it open with his teeth.
“Riley,” MacTavish said, as sternly as he could manage while he was dripping everywhere.
“Fine,” Riley sighed. “See that freezer? Not exactly allowed to own that. Put it here a few weeks ago because look at this place, it's more dust than anything else. Figured the cleaning stuff don't come in here so they won't mind.” He took a bite of his ice. “Well, they did come in today and caught me. Ripped me a new one and told me to get rid of the freezer or they'll throw it in the trash.” He shrugged. “Don't have another place I can put it where it won't be found that also has electricity. So we have about an hour to eat all–” he counted the ice lollies still leaking down MacTavish’s hand, “–sixteen of those. Wasn't keen on getting brain freeze, which is why I need your help. Now get to eating.”
MacTavish blinked. Then blinked again. Then reluctantly opened a lemon flavored ice lolly. Ghost grinned at him, showing off green stained teeth. At first contact with the ice MacTavish nearly collapsed. He'd forgotten what it felt like to not be hot. “Why don't you put them in the freezer in the rec room?” he asked. Ghost just waved him off. “They wouldn't survive five minutes in there and you know it. The rec room fridge is a lawless wasteland.” MacTavish couldn’t argue with that so he just kept eating.
About two ice lollies deep he gave in to Riley’s coaxing and sat down on the floor with him. The concrete was pleasantly cold on his overheated skin and he found his migraine lessening by the second. Ghost was somehow already on his fifth one and MacTavish found himself watching a drop of what was essentially sugar water running down his jaw. “How are you eating those so quickly?” Riley slurped the last of the liquid out of the plastic and shrugged, already reaching for the next one. “They just taste good.”
Knowing that was as good an answer as he was gonna get, MacTavish decided to leave it at that.
—
The last ice lolly disappeared into Riley’s mouth long after MacTavish had tapped out, at serious risk of throwing up. Goosebumps had formed on his skin at some point and his sweat had finally evaporated, leaving him pleasantly cool. He leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes, just for a second. “Why'd you buy a pink freezer?” he asked after a moment of quiet.
“They didn't have black,” Ghost muttered, and MacTavish laughed at the audible disdain in his voice. “So pink was the next best thing?” “Obviously,” came the response, serious as anything. “Obviously,” MacTavish agreed sagely.
—
Half an hour later MacTavish was back in his horribly humid office, the blinds drawn, the fan dead, tapping away at his laptop. The taste of artificial lemon lingered on his tongue though and he found he didn't mind the heat nearly half as much as he had earlier that day.
The funniest part of A New Hope is that Luke Skywalker is a 19 year old who has not locked in yet and plays with toys and sleeps in his childhood bedroom at his aunt and uncle’s house and Leia Organa is a 19 year old with a mission to save the galaxy from fascism. Luke has never left his hometown, Leia just watched her planet be blown up. He’s peeved his uncle is asking him to do his chores, she’s imprisoned for resisting the government. You relate to them both but they’re on complete opposite sides of the 19 year old life stage spectrum.

Hey ich möchte nochmal betonen, das diese Ideen von Merz und co mit der Krankschreibung/AU und dem Informationsfreiheitsgesetz momentan geplant, aber noch nicht Gesetz sind. Also ist JETZT die Zeit, sich die Pläne mal im Detail anzuschauen (gibt's z. B. Bei der Tagesschau) und dann auf Abgeordnetenwatch.de die Abgeordneten aus dem eigenen Wahlkreis für den Bundestag zu finden, und denen dass, was ihr hier gerade so auf Tumblr schreibt, in etwas höflicherer Form als E-Mail oder am besten Papierbrief zukommen zu lassen. Ich kann das echt nicht klarer sagen: DIESE REGELN GELTEN NOCH NICHT. Wie und ob das Gesetz kommt, hängt unter anderem auch davon ab, wie ungemütlich Leute das IHREN Abgeordneten jetzt in der Ausarbeitungsphase machen. Also bitte, bitte, wenn ihr euch aufregt: macht es in der Inbox eurer Abgeordneten und geht nicht davon aus, dass das schon steht!
Mehrere Leute haben schon Bundestag.de als Abgeordnetenfinder erwähnt, und das ist auch korrekt, dass man die da findet. Man kann auch gleich da über Kontakt den Abgeordneten eine E-Mail schicken, oder deren Homepage finden.
Ich mag Abgeordnetenwatch.de halt sehr gerne. Für alle, die noch nie auf der Seite waren: das ist ein unabhängiges Tool, das neben dem bisherigen individuellen Abstimmverhalten auch die verschiedenen Position, Kandidaturen, Ausschusspositionen und vergangene Mandate in der Politik, aber auch unter Nebentätigkeiten Aktivitäten z. B. in der Wirtschaft von Politikern über ihre Karriere hinweg dokumentiert.
Außerdem kann man direkt auf der Seite öffentlich Fragen stellen, die dann von den Abgeordneten und ihren Teams öffentlich beantwortet werden können. Manche machen das halt nicht. Muss man halt wissen, wie man sich seinen Wähler*innen gegenüber gibt, I guess.
Die beantworteten Fragen sind auch thematisch ein bisschen getagged. Durch diesen Fragen- und Entscheidungskatalog kann man (finde ich) den spezifischen Vibe der einzelnen Abgeordneten individuell einschätzen, und abstimmen, wie man an die herantreten möchte. Es imo hilft viel mehr, da ein bisschen persönlich zuzuschneiden, damit man z. B. Politiker*innen, die einem schon zustimmen, auch Lob zuschicken kann.
Generell gilt für sowas:
Klarnamen und echte Adresse
Offensichtlich keine Drohungen oder Beleidigungen, auch nicht 'offensichtliche Witze'!!!
Höflich, argumentativ, sachlich, kurz angebunden
Persönlich schreiben. Ihr stellt euch ja als Privatpersonen, Bürger*innen, Wähler*innen vor. Man braucht kein Fachjargon oder so.
Trotzdem: Je spezifischer man auf Sachen eingeht und je informierter man ist, desto besser. Wenn ihr Probleme mit spezifischen Gesetzesentwürfen habt, benennt das Gesetz. Wenn ihr Probleme mit spezifischen Punkten im aktuellen Reformplan habt, benennt den spezifischen Punkt und was genau euch daran stört.
Andersherum kann man natürlich auch Loben und um die Priorisierung von spezifischen Themen bitten
Briefeschreiben ist effektiv, weil Absendeadresse+Poststempel euch quasi direkt als tatsächliche dem Wahlkreis angehörigen, echten Menschen gegenüber euren Vertreter*innen verifiziert, aber vor allem, weil sehr, sehr wenige Wähler*innen das machen. Der Aufwand ist vergleichsweise groß, und das wissen die Leute auch. Ihr seid ja motiviert genug, um euch hinzusetzten, zu recherchieren, was zu schreiben, und das dann auch noch in die Post zu bringen, und das fällt ins Gewicht. E-Mails und Kontaktformulare und Anrufe und öffentliche Fragen sind aber auch gut, wenn euch das eher liegt!
Die genauen aktuellen Reformpläne könnt ihr hier (PDF, 12 Seiten) nachlesen. Die sind auch bis auf einige Punkte sehr verständlich gehalten.
Zu Punkt 10: Diese undurchsichtig erwähnten "Vorschläge der Kommission zur Sozialstaatsreform" findet man hier (PDF, 52 Seiten)
Ansonsten Themen, gut oder schlecht und wie immer man auch dazu steht, welche die Debatte auf Tumblr bewegen:
Erhöhung des Spitzensteuersatzes ist mit bei allen anderen Steuerreformen in Punkt 2
Ausweitung der sachgrundlosen Befristung ist Punkt 5
Die Änderungen an den Regelungen zur Krankmeldung und Krankschreibung ist Punkt 11
Bei Punkt 12 (und again am Rande bei Punkt 16) gehts auch um Rechenzentren
Punkt 13, Pläne zur Bekämpfung von Sozialleistungsmissbrauch
bei Punkt 18 geht es um die Gründung einer staatlichen Wohnungsbaugesellschaft und auch darum, Verstaatlichung von privatem Mieteigentum zu verbieten
Punkt 23, Einschränkung der Westbalkanregelung (Nicht-Europäer aus spezifischen Balkan-Staaten dürfen einfacher in Deutschland arbeiten als andere Nicht-Europäer, das Genehmigungskontingent soll halbiert werden)
Bei Punkt 28 geht es unter anderem um die geplante automatisch vorausgefüllte, digitale Steuererklärung
Punkt 29, EU-Lieferkettenrichtlinie wird umgesetzt
Einschränkung des Informationsfreiheitsgesetz ist Punkt 32
