saw a video about a singer who canceled the fireworks show at her concert because she noticed that a stray dog was quietly watching her performance and she didn’t want to scare him away and maybe maybe there’s still hope for humankind

❝ Brazilian singer Taty Girl left her fans speechless during a concert when she made an unexpected decision: she suspended the fireworks show she had planned to protect a homeless dog who was attending the show. While singing, Taty noticed the presence of a dog she named “Caramelo,” who was calmly watching from a distance. Without hesitation, she told her audience: “We will not launch any more fireworks, Caramelo does not like them. Out of respect for him, we will not use them. You can see that he is there quietly, enjoying the show.” Taty’s gesture was applauded by the audience, who not only admired her sensitivity, but also suggested that she adopt the dog. According to reports, the singer listened to the voices of her fans and decided to take Caramelo home, ensuring him a life full of love and care. ❞ Vía 🎥 tt/tatygirloficial

The City of Stanstead Free Library is a beloved community building located in Stanstead, Quebec, where the borderline cuts the building in two. Please watch the video, donate if you can, and find out how you guys can help the library handle the aggressive shut-down of the library and new border restrictions imposed by the US government, which will soon force Canadian citizens accessing the library to go through a border checkpoint unless the library can create a new Canadian-side entrance and infrastructure.

TLDR: They literally need the money to build a new door on the other side of the building. And they're getting close!

Stopped by ICE on the Way Home — Why This Could Happen to You

Imagine walking home from work, minding your own business, only to be stopped by immigration officers demanding your ID. You’re a U.S. citizen, but that doesn’t seem to matter. They take your ID, they run it, and for a few terrifying moments, you are at their mercy. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario—it’s happening right now in American cities.

A recent firsthand account from Brooklyn tells us everything we need to know: ICE agents are stopping people at random, profiling them based on appearance, and subjecting them to background checks without probable cause. A Middle Eastern-looking father and his white-passing wife were stopped on their way home from work. If this can happen to them, it can happen to anyone.

Why This Should Terrify You

Racial Profiling is Now Openly Happening – If you “look” a certain way, you could be stopped. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen, a legal resident, or a visitor. Law enforcement is making snap judgments based on your appearance.

Your Rights Can Be Ignored – Many people don’t know that they have the right to remain silent and refuse searches without a warrant. But in the heat of the moment, fear takes over, and ICE officers rely on that fear to push their authority further than the law allows.

This is a Test—And We’re Failing It – If we allow random street stops to become normalized, what comes next? Where will ICE draw the line? If they can check your ID on the street, what stops them from expanding their powers further?

The Bigger Picture: A Nation of Fear

This is bigger than a few isolated incidents. This is part of a broader trend of increasing surveillance, aggressive immigration enforcement, and erosion of personal freedoms. If stopping people based on appearance becomes routine, how long before everyone is at risk? Today, it’s immigrants and those who “look” foreign. Tomorrow, it could be journalists, activists, or anyone who dares to question the government.

What You Need to Know & Do

Know Your Rights – If ICE stops you, you are not required to answer questions about your immigration status. You can ask, "Am I free to go?" If they say no, you have the right to remain silent.

Document Everything – If you witness an ICE stop, record it (if safe to do so). The more light we shine on these abuses, the harder it becomes for them to operate in the shadows.

Speak Out – This is not just an "immigrant issue." This is about civil rights and the creeping expansion of government control. The more we allow these policies to take root, the more difficult it will be to reverse them.

This is not the America we were promised. If we don’t resist now, the question isn’t whether this could happen to you—it’s when.

My kitten tried to kill my stuffed tribble. My roommate remarked that my tribble killing cat would make a great Klingon pet… and she’s right.

Imagine a Klingon ship having a cat that protects them from tribbles & vermin. They have to get the cat from a shelter run by humans and they’re like “This is the honorable Mr. Chonks”.

“Yes, our ship also has an earth feline. Her name is Carrot and she fights like a warrior.”

There’s absolutely a Klingon out there who lost an eye to a feral cat that he then adopted.

Klingons who go “pspspspsps” to get the Ship Cat to come hang out during break.

Orange Ship Cat that gets lost in the jeffires tubes and Klingon whose sole job is to go fetch the orange cat. He acts like he hates his job but he actually really adores his feline co-worker so much.

Klingon that always hands things to the Ship Cat so it can sniff it.

Klingon that intentionally grabs boxes to enrich Ship Cat’s little life. Sometimes they get multiple boxes and the crew bets on which box will be deemed “best box” by their fluffy little warrior.

Klingon that starts his work shift saying “Qapla'!” to Ship Cat who meows in return.

Newly Minted Ship Kitten climbing up to a Klingon Captain’s shoulder with her tiny needle claws while said Captain is attempting to be intimidating on the viewscreen.

Klingon who gets a head bunt from Ship Cat and gives it a head bunt back.
