“ Most animal experiments on monkeys, dogs, cats and other animals are not related to human benefit, and describing such research as “humane” requires an Orwellian-newspeak definition of the word. “Humane” means to treat with kindness, consideration or mercy, and as long as words have meanings that cannot be twisted Humpty Dumpty–like into whatever we want them to mean, animal experimentation is not and can never be humane.

» GEORGE ORWELL WAS A SOCIALIST.

axinomancy:

“Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.”

— George Orwell, 1946

This is the latest video of Ndeze and Ndakasi, two mountain gorilla orphans in Goma. They are so hella cute, it’s plain silly. Learn more about them and prepare to empty your wallet on the site. I mean seriously, you might as well just cash my paycheck and throw the money on these two adorable girls because I CAN’T TAKE IT. Give them money, because this is what protects them from poachers, it’s really important. It doesn’t take tons of money to do this and it protects one of the most magical beings on the planet and there are only about 600 of them left. If there aren’t any baby mountain gorillas, I don’t know what there is left to live for. Really, think about it and then tell me I’m wrong.

Thanks, Livia!

Does anyone know where I can watch "Newsies" online?

chromatically:

Or any good websites to watch movies online in general.

The whole thing is in multiple parts on youtube. Not super good quality, obvs, but it suffices :)

I am also this old:

Today, my 5-year-old cousin asked how old I was. I told him that I’m so old, I can remember when Pluto was a planet and there were only 151 Pokemon. I have never seen someone look so shocked. MLIA.
