DO NOT PUT OUT FOOD

Water is totally fine but if you put out food it can and will attract other animals which may then scare off your pet.

Stick to blankets, cat litter, water, toys, clothes that smell like you (stinky socks, the stinkier the better), etc etc

Remember to check local Facebook pages for lost pets and call shelters too.

A discussion with @mazarinedrake lead us to agree that Pre-heresy, Fulgrim was That Bitch that showed up 15 minute late to Primarch Meetings with a Starbucks, but also the guy with enough decency to also have everyone else’s order too.  Ergo, Pre-Heresy Primarch Starbucks Orders: Lion El’Johnson: Orders a Black Coffee then puts like 10 sugars and 20 creamers in it once he gets his hands on it.

Fulgrim: Sugarfree Coconut Milk Iced Coffee, but DID bring everyone else’s order too so ppl don’t judge him that much.

Perturabo: Tall Americano

Jakharti Khan: Trenta with as many shots of Espresso he can convince the Baristsa to put in, and a 5-hour energy for “creamer”.

Leman Russ: Complains that starbucks doesn’t have Beer, gets hot chocolate even though he’s both allergic to chocolate and lactose intolerant. 

Rogal Dorn: One Black Coffe ™

Konrad Curze: Triple Expresso, poured into his can of monster and drunk in front of Dad, God and everyone else.

Sanguinus: Decaf Unicorn Frap with Organic cane sugar and almond milk 

Ferrus Magnus: Complains that what starbucks makes isn’t TECHNICALLY a macchiato, but orders it anyway

Angorn: Never specified an order but the time Fulgrim gave him peppermint hot chocolate with marshmallows and sprinkes was the first time he did not use the hot beverage to assault someone SO-

Roubotte Guiliman:  Would have a Pumpkin Spice IV drip if possible.

Mortarion: Extra high fructose corn syrup, six shots, creamer-instead-of-milk Unicorn Frap.  Do NOT mix his and Sanguinus’ drinks up.

Magnus The Red: Order starts as a caramel macchiato but has so many substitutions and persnickety instructions that when it’s done it’s not.

Horus Lupercal: Keeps trying to order a “Double Double” and doesn’t understand why Starbucks and Tim Horton’s don’t have the same menu.

Lorgar Aurelian: Bottled water becuase Coffee is IMPURE (nvmd the morality of bottled water)

Vulkan: Matcha Frap, but he keeps smuggling Hotsauce in his armor and pours it in.  Everyone politely pretends not to notice.

Corvus Corax:  Lone Tea Drinker in the group. Has the Barista write “Black coffee” On the outside though.

So I said “thanks for the mammaries”

But what I really meant to say

Blood is thicker than water The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Because I’ve suddenly imagined R2-D2 accompanying Leia to her Senate meetings. In reality, it would probably be very dangerous for R2 and Leia. But I think it would be perfect for a crack fic. 

Like, just imagine if Leia and R2 are just strolling around the halls of the Senate, with Leia ranting to R2 about something or other. And then bump into an older Senator by accident. And at first it’s all pleasantries and apologies, but then the older Senator takes one look at R2, turns a color that is not a good color for their people to turn, and then says in utter horror, “IT’S YOU!” 

Because surely there must be older Senators out there from before the Empire, who remember that horrible little nightmare droid who tailed those awful Jedi around and occasionally Senator Amidala. (Like, there must be people out there who witnessed R2 blow up a building or even straight-up kill someone.) 

And Leia’s like, “What? You know my droid?” 

And the Senator’s got a hand over their heart, both to soothe themselves and a little protectively, and says, “My dear, I couldn’t forget that thing if I was dead. That’s the little bastard who set me on fire! Granted, it was an accident and it saved Senator Amidala’s life again, but still. She was far too fond of it! That and that debonair Jedi it belonged to!” 

And Leia lights up immediately because oho, this is interesting. Meanwhile R2 is basically swearing up a storm trying to push her away. And the Senator has an expression on their face like, “Oh, damn, I shouldn’t have said that.” 

Darth Vader: *walking down a hall in the Senate building, annoyed af that the Emperor is making him be here to intimidate people for some vote or another, scrolling clickbait quizzes or ship commercials on his datapad*

The sound of something clattering comes from ahead. Darth Vader looks up and sees a droid getting kicked out of a conference room, beeping explicitly and indignantly over just being lost, at the far end of the hall. The droid looks down the hall at Darth Vader. It’s unmistakably R2-D2.

Darth Vader: “…”

R2-D2: “…”

R2: *backs up one inch*

Vader: *takes one step forward*

R2: *SCREAMS*

R2-D2 whirls around immediately and flees around the corner. Vader is too surprised to immediately stop his old droid, but drops the datapad and books it after him (as much as DV can book it). What proceeds is probably a Star Wars version of the Benny Hill chase between R2-D2 and Darth Vader.

It ends in R2, covered in soot and scratches, barely managing to get away after causing enormous amounts of mayhem and property damage.

Leia: “There you are! Artoo, where have you been?”

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Also ao3 has spoken out about this

Yeah, and you can also get tired of criticizing something you love. You can get completely fed up with it and decide, “You know what? Flaws aside, I love this thing, and I don’t have to waste hours of my life admitting its flaws to strangers on the Internet in order to somehow justify my love of it.” You can get sick of watching others gleefully tear it apart, for no reason other than that it’s popular and they hate that you love it. You can get sick of watching others tearing it apart with good intentions, too.

A couple of updates ago, I turned on my computer and my files were gone. 

I went to the Microsoft site, to their help forum, and found there was already a topic called “ Q:Automated Windows 10 updates deleted all my documents and files.”  Eighty-three other people had had the same problem.

Fortunately, I was able to get mine back.  They’d been moved to a sort of ghost file system, and I just had to move them back to the regular desktop.  The ghost file system is still there, and it’s hard to find things sometimes, but everything still exists. (And now it exists in a couple more places than it did before, just to be safe.)  Not everyone’s been so lucky.

The update that happened a couple of days ago (today being May 24, 2018) sparked a whole bunch of new traffic to the thread.  Now people are getting nonfunctional desktops, or black screens.  The numbers of people who report having the same problem is up to 205.  One of the people who posted in the thread was a tech guy who said that the same thing happened to eight of his customers, and the only thing he can do is pull their hard drives, copy the important files, and reinstall Windows 10.  And the Microsoft people agree that yes, this is the thing that has to be done, even if it costs you money, even if they were the ones who caused it in the first place.

“Are you serious? Taking your helmet off like that’s just a good way of getting dusted.”
