vegansaurus:

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!

axinomancy:

Dear Republicans: Fuck You

“I’m sick of the way you’ve corrupted the public discourse. The way you’ve made it acceptable to hurl any insult you like at public officials. The way you blame us for the current atmosphere of hatred by accusing us of starting it with hating Bush. Like Bush didn’t come on the heels of eight years of your tireless efforts to destroy Clinton by any means necessary, like Bush didn’t give us good reason to complain. A couple of posters on a website compared Bush to Hitler and you’ve used it as free license to compare Obama to Hitler 24/7 and I’m sick of your hypocrisy, where it’s acceptable to say shit about Obama that you would have had an apoplectic fit (and did) if anything remotely similar had been said about your guys. Keith Olbermann calls Cheney a fascist when he was actually using fascist tactics and you think that gives you the freedom to call Obama a fascist, socialist, Marxist constantly for no reason at all. Fuck you and your bullshit false equivalency.

I’m sick of the way you’ve made the populace stupid. Around a fifth of your populace thinks the sun orbits the earth, over half think evolution never happened. Your populace actually believe the media has a liberal bias. Not because it has, you have the most conservative media in the free world, but because you’ve shouted it so loud and so often that you’ve brainwashed the public into believing it, like the battered wife who parrots her husband’s insults. You’ve got a whole segment of the populace shouting about socialism and fascism and none of them know what the fucking words mean. You’ve convinced them that fascism is a left-wing thing. You’ve got them so turned around that some of them actually believe global warming isn’t happening. Fuck you.

I’m sick of the way you try to destroy the whole concept of government. You’ve tricked the people into believing that government can’t do anything right, always being careful to exclude the army because you love your bullets and bombs but you’ve so destroyed the public’s ability to reason that they don’t even think of interstate highways, the space program, the national parks program, etc. Government is always great when it’s doing what you tell it and inevitably corrupt when it isn’t. Fuck you.” (click to continue reading)

This is adorable.

where is hammerito, he needs to see this.

ZOMG. Zee. Oh. Emm. Gee.

My kittens would never go for this because a) one at a time is not fast enough and b) they would just want to chew on the chopsticks and carry them around in their mouths. And then I would have to bring one or both to the vet ER to get splinters out of their tongues. Nonetheless, ADORABLE.
