Chanel was never tried for her crimes as a collaborator. She used her connections, information, and money to pay off the right people and cover her tracks. 

She was briefly arrested and questioned by a French judge, but basically got off scott-free and allegedly told her family that she was freed by Winston Churchill.

“Stop sending expired food”….”fried chicken 64.99” 

IQALUIT, Nunavut — A head of cabbage for $20. Fifteen bucks for a small bag of apples.

A case of ginger ale: $82.

Fed up and frustrated by sky-high food prices and concerned over widespread hunger in their communities, thousands of Inuit have spent weeks posting pictures and price tags from their local grocery stores to a Facebook site called Feed My Family.

Honestly if you’re not watching this debate you might want to turn it on. Trump is talking so fast I’m starting to suspect he might be on something, he screamed at Anderson Cooper for not having brought up a topic he just brought up, he threatened to have Hillary Clinton arrested, and he’s refusing to apologize for his groping comments, he’s still pretending he was against the war in Iraq, and he just told a Muslim woman that his plan to protect Muslims from Islamophobia was to push Islam as the problem, it’s a trainwreck

Old Dogs REALLY need our help!

Just about the one good, pure thing going right now is the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, but some of its neighbors have taken offense and now it is being forced out— in only 60 days. I wish I were a lawyer so I could offer my services to fight this and at least buy them ample time to find and build a sanctuary equivalent to what they have now or better. Since I’m not, it’s time to dig deep and give, and not let 2016 get even worse. These dogs were promised a comfortable home for the rest of their lives. Their people need some help to keep that promise.

Please donate if you can at all, even a few dollars, and signal boost this until every set of dog-loving eyes on this site knows about what’s going down here. There’s a lot of cruel and scary things happening in the world that we can’t do a lot to fix or prevent, but we can stop the worst from happening here, and give these dogs who have finally found much-needed stability and peace a smooth transition to what will be an even better, more stable place to call home.

Donate through PayPal:  old.friends.senior.dogs@gmail.com

Link on their site to donate:  http://oldfriendsseniordogs.com/donate.html

If the signal is boosted enough, maybe we can get some media attention brought to bear.

From OFSDS:

CHANGE IS IN THE AIR… WE NEED YOUR HELP! On August 19, the county zoning board, fueled by a few neighbors who think that OFSDS has grown too large for the neighborhood, gave us 60 days to move Sanctuary Dogs and operations. The change will be positive. We are currently trying to work through a lease and also looking at other options that are more public than we are now. This will allow growth with the ability for more volunteers, supporters and potential forever families to visit. The time crunch, however, is not good and we will have to come up with a solution soon to avoid fines and legal penalties. We have promised our Old Friends that we will care for them for the rest of their lives and we will NEVER go back on that promise. We don’t often ask for donations, but moving will be expensive and now is a special time for us. If you are able to donate to our Moving Fund, no matter how much, please go tohttp://oldfriendsseniordogs.com/donate.html to donate by credit card, PayPal or check. Ultimately, this will be a GREAT move for OFSDS, we just have to get through this transitional stage. We will come out STRONGER and BETTER and in a position to help more Old Friends on the other side. We will keep you posted.

Calling ALL of tumblr I need your help!!!

The standing rock tribe are being silenced about what is going on up there with the Dakota access pipe line.

I beg of you to help me get the topic out. It will affect millions of lives. The pipe will leave into the tribes only source of drinking water. We are trying so hard to get this out on twitter and facebook, but we are being silenced.

Today a security team came into the middle of a peaceful native american protest and numerous people got maced and bitten by the dogs. 

I want you all to take a look at the terror on these young girls faces. Then I want you to take a look at the two aggressive dogs. When did it become OK to use dogs against children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters OUR freakin people!!! The police will only let a dog go if the suspect runs or the suspect is violent and causes a threat to the public of the officer. Do you see a weapon in these young girls hands? Do these girls look dangerous? The answer would be no. No they don’t. The people with the dogs aren’t even police officers! They are security guards. They couldn’t even keep control of their own dogs leading to them being attacked also.

Most of you won’t even bat an eyelid at my posts, others will be annoyed because of my constant posting.This is happening right this second and threatening millions of lives. I have to help. We can only break the silence if you join us in this fight. Just sharing my post helps the reality of the situation get out there. I now beg of you to share this post in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Give them a bigger voice. Help them shout this from the roof tops. Please… Rachael <3 <3 #NoDAPL

For the uninitiated, this is what Magpies are like during “swooping season” here in Australia.

Fun fact: people have been known to walk around with empty ice cream containers on their heads to protect themselves in lieu of helmets.

THE LEAKED EMAILS FROM THE DNC ARE PRETTY DAMNING

The “Democratic” primaries were rigged from the beginning. Sanders said he was running against the entire Democratic Party establishment, and he wasn’t lying. There was never any impartiality. Under Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the DNC thoroughly abused it’s authority to prop up Hillary Clinton.

And yes, I know: “But Trump…”

Here’s the thing: Wrong is wrong. Rational adults can acknowledge the more than obvious dangers of a Trump Presidency, and simultaneously be aware of and criticize the widespread cheating by the Clinton campaign, superdelegates, and the DNC, headed by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Clinton’s former 2008 campaign manager.

If you pay attention, over the coming days and weeks, you’re going to learn quite a lot about journalism and so-called Clinton “progressives” (aka neo-liberals), but most importantly, you’re going to learn something about integrity. Watch for the journalists, pundits and surrogates who either won’t talk about the leaked DNC emails, or who will try to minimize the enormous implication that the presidency can be bought and sold.

People and news organizations who reject serious discussions on the ethical breaches - especially “liberal” outlets like MSNBC - are revealing that they care more about a lone candidate than transparency, fairness and basic democracy. If the Republican Party did what is evidenced that the Democratic Party has done, Democratic politicians and pundits would be in a hysterical clamor. But because it’s Hillary Clinton, there’s little or no hand wringing?

Using the might of the DNC to maliciously malign opponents, and to squash fair critiques & honest disagreements in a political primary is undemocratic. Lots of honest people, especially reporters, should have a very big problem with that. 

The DNC uses tax dollars, so it’s almost a foregone conclusion that federal laws were broken.

Here are some of the revelations from the Wikileaks email dump, so far:

The “impartial” DNC repeatedly colluded with the Clinton campaign and actively worked against Bernie Sanders throughout the entire primary season  

The DNC successfully pressured a major news outlet to change the tone of their unfavorable coverage on Hillary Clinton

The DNC colluded with corporate media and encouraged (if not payed) reporters to plant false stories in the news to smear Sanders and his supporters

The DNC was prepared to use Sanders’ religion against him, or more accurately - they were preparing to use his still alleged lack of religion against him

Many DNC superdelegates picked Clinton as the Democratic nominee before any opponents could announce their candidacies, and before the primaries hed even began

The DNC may have facilitated skirting campaign finance laws, if not outright broken said laws

The Associated Press sought the approval of the DNC prior to releasing it’s story about Clinton being the presumptive Democratic nominee before the California primaries

The DNC helped push the false narrative about “thrown chairs” at the Nevada caucuses, even though it knew these stories to be false  

The DNC intentionally mis-labeled contributions from doners as contribution from LBGT supporters, when they obviously were not 

The DNC was making contingency plans to sabotage Sanders’ political career

And that’s just for starters…

Finally, before anyone misinterprets this as an attempt to sway people into not voting for Hillary Clinton, let me be very clear: Donald Trump is a racist and a fascist. That goes without saying. But Trump doesn’t control the DNC. This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. So whether you vote for Hillary or not, this is still a serious problem.

You can be as pro-Hillary as you want, and also admit that the DNC has been run like an organized criminal empire. No one’s best interests are served by ignoring this.

it is really, really important that you contact your senators and tell them to oppose the murphy bill/hr2646

if it passes it will

- weaken the privacy of mentally ill people and strip us of our HIPAA rights. it explicitly allows doctors to “disclose the protected health information of a patient with a mental illness” to family members in situations where “the patient does not consent and the patient is not incapacitated or in an emergency circumstance”. of course, adults should have a right to privacy even if their parents are great, but keep in mind that this will result in people’s private medical information being disclosed to their abusive family members. that’s scary.

and

-  require states to pass laws allowing “Assisted Outpatient Treatment” (also called “Assertive Community Treatment”) to get mental health grants. that sounds good- I mean, “assist” means “help”- but in this case “assisted” means “forced”. “Assisted Outpatient Treatment” allows people to be forced to take meds and accept other forms of treatment even when they are not deemed a danger to themselves or others. I have been forced to take medication that damaged my physical and mental health by doctors who wouldn’t listen to me. so have many other people I know. this is terrifying. 

I am scared. my friends are scared. a bunch of people are saying they will be too scared to try and access mental health services if this passes. this has already passed the house, and if we don’t do anything it will also pass the senate. but there’s good news: this bill has not had a lot of media coverage, which means that your voice really matters.

please contact your senators. email them. more effective, write them. even more effective, call them (info on how to contact them) (info on what to say). spread the word on social media. tell your friends. arrange a calling party. do whatever you can. this is important. we can do this.

It’s come to my attention that I have not yet made a post about Farmer’s Market Hot™.  

Farmer’s Market Hot is a specific kind of aesthetic that is the result of me watching Orphan’s Black and trying to describe the hotness of Cal to others.

See my point?

Farmer’s Market Hot is a wholesome kind of hot. Rugged but approachable. It’s not the kind of hot where you immediately go, “Oh my god they’re so perfect, I want to take them home and photograph them/tear their clothes off.” That’s for later.

This is the kind of hot for people who would visit the farmer’s market to buy some organic cheeses on their way to pick up their kids from their Creativity Through Music class. It’s the look that says “I’m here to support our local beekeepers.” You see them and it makes you want to settle down. You want to do your taxes with them, raise dogs together.

It’s borderline hipster without the elitism and irony, borderline country without the sound of Tim McGraw. If they’re white, racist shit like dreads automatically disqualifies them.

Guys will most likely be stubbly, or bearded, but not to the point of lumberjack. Think Chris Evans in between Marvel movies.

Pictured: a man who wants to buy artisan bread from a stall and be polite to the merchants.

Imagine a woman with a sunflower tattoo, wearing a high-low dress and clunky dependable boots, holding a dog’s leash while she waits at the knife sharpening booth. Imagine a man wearing flannel and holding a baby while talking about ethical alternatives to quinoa.

Farmer’s Market Hot™.

Add this to your vocabulary.

MCRX

after the disappointing news about mcrx, please remember that this was a publicity stunt by warner brothers and not the members. gerard finally got up the nerve to go to comic con and now people won’t want to hear about his comics, just mcr. frank won’t get reviews for death spells that don’t mention mcr. attention was turned from electric century and ray’s solo work to mcr. warner is getting publicity, excitement, and tons of money from increased merch purchases and the boys are getting hate. please don’t take it out on the members, if you feel the need to, take it out on warner bros.
