WOWEE

Life’s been busy, guys

We recently took in EIGHT new wolfdogs and NINE cats as fosters, in order to assist their owner in evacuating from the fires in Estacada. Right as the order for mandatory evacuation came in, we finished catching and loading up the last of the skittish and frightened wolfdogs and cats, and drove them all back to our place in a trailer. 

Slowly but surely, we are building holding pens to move them out of the transport crates. We are building an 8x16 lockdown pen to contain each of the dogs, but the materials to build wolfdog-proof enclosures on such short notice aren’t cheap, and we could really use some help housing and caring for these guys until their owner gets news on if her house survived the fire or not.  Anything helps!

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

It has a spyro character so people will like this.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE SELECTIVELY PROGRESSIVE 

You can hate Ann Coulter. But if you suggest that she deserves to be raped, you are a misogynist.

You can hate Woody Allen. But if you say he’s part of a Jewish conspiracy or joke about putting him in an oven, you are an antisemite.

You can hate Michael Vick. But you call for him to be lynched or call him the N-word, you are an anti-black racist. 

You can hate Caitlyn Jenner. But if you misgender her, or make comments about her genitalia, you are a transphobe. 

And you can hate the military. But if you deliberately try to trigger veterans with PTSD, you are an ableist piece of shit. 

You do no get to pick and choose which people to treat fairly when it comes to acknowledging and combatting prejudice. 

I’m from a military family. My ancestors were members of the military in Germany in the 19th century, and when they finally immigrated to the United States around the turn of the century, a lot of the men went into the US Army, because it was tradition in my family. It still is. At least one guy from every section of my family has been in the military.

The ONLY FUCKING REASON I said “No” to the military early in life was because I could see the effects of it in the people around me. Both of my parents work at the VA in my hometown. I spent more time in a hospital as a young child than most people who don’t have health issues will in their first 30 years of life. And you know what I saw?

The effects of war. I saw veterans suffering from PTSD every day, yet they always put on a smile for me and tried to sugarcoat when I asked about the military because I was an 8 year old. At age 8, I was being steered away from the military by a bunch of people who had been victims of the US military, yet I still didn’t know how bad it could get.

And then my mom got transferred to the mental health ward of the VA, and I got my first look at what war really did to you. At age 12, I swore to myself that I would never go into the military, no matter what they offered me. I wasn’t going to be like the people I grew up around. Oh, they were lovely, kind individuals for the most part, but they’d warned me to not make their mistakes, and I agreed that I wouldn’t.

Oh yeah, I got recruitment officers. I was a band kid from a military family, of course I got just about every branch trying to convince me to join them. I said no every time.

I had to say no to a guaranteed paycheck that would allow me to play clarinet. I had to look a Marine officer dead in the eyes and tell him I’d rather risk not having the money for food than join the military. All because I grew up seeing what could happen to me if I had joined.

So really, be anti-war. Be anti-military. No one is saying you all can’t. But do NOT be a dick to veterans. There is so much at work here, and sometimes, you’re desperate, and the military has their ways of trying to convince you that they’re the best choice.

All Nations Matter (Star Spangled Banner for 2020)

O say can you see, by the cops’ riot light What so loudly we failed at the twilight’s last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars were betrayed through the night O'er the roadblocks we watched, with our phones we were streaming And the road flare’s red glare, teargas spraying in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag never cared, So broad-cast that all nations matter this day As we all take a knee, in this land built by slaves

On the screen dimly seen, protesters on the street Where the foe’s police post in dread silence reposes Behind badges unseen, safe inside their conceit But the cops unjust blows, unwittingly exposes The American dream, of those that they would deem As deserving of more rights and greater esteem But proclaim black lives matter, see how poorly they behave, See their hypocrisy, as our freedom we save

I am an atrocious singer, so I not only welcome people recording their own videos singing this, I highly encourage it! I only ask that you remember to credit me for the lyrics. :)

Happy 4th of July, ya’ll, Happy All Nations Matter Day!

Set your social media to private

Do a clean up of your public posts

Block everyone of your friends who have voiced pro-government sentiments. You don’t know who will sell you out.

Do a check of your facebook groups. If you’re part of anti-admin groups, make sure it’s legit and not a fake group used to redtag.

Increase your email security

Stop signing petitions vs terror bill on change.org as this is what they’re using to redtag (remember the influx of fake accounts? Yeah)

Instead, send emails to your representatives using a vpn

Have your lawyer’s number on standby

Be aware of your rights (i will post a refresher here later on)

It has literally always been a lie.  These lies have killed millions of Americans over the years.  It has cost the US Trillions of dollars in lost efficiency and higher healthcare costs over the years.  It has helped drag down the life expectancy of the US, meaning, ultimately, that Americans have lost hundreds of millions of years from their lives.
