Separation of young children, in fact any children, from their carer is
child abuse, and I would love to see those who initiated and implemented
this policy charged with this offence.

This bedraggled-looking pipistrelle had become stuck to a sheet of fly paper and was covered in glue. Its wing membranes were stuck fast and it could barely move.

Using coconut oil and a special solvent, Simon and our vet team carefully separated the bat from the paper and cleaned off the glue. After drying out in an incubator, it was sent away with a specialist bat carer for round the clock care and we hope it will make a full recovery!

that’s terrifying

“Oh that’s adorable ”.

White privilege at its finest.

There’s nothing “adorable” about this. He’s 4.

Yeah if that kid was black he would be called a thug this is nothing against the kid , I mean knowing how to use a gun is not a bad thing but for him at that age it’s a lil too early for that

That’s abjectly terrifying.

KIDS SHOULD NOT BE HANDLING WEAPONS THAT ARE LITERALLY BIGGER THAN THEY ARE WHAT THE FUCK ARE HIS PARENTS EVEN THINKING

4 YEAR OLDS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE TOUCHING WEAPONS MADE FOR KILLING LET ALONE KNOWING HOW TO USE THEM

my heart fucking stopped just seeing a kid that close to a weapon

I have such a thing about small kids in danger, my anxiety is going through the roof jfc

He is four. That’s not cute. That gun is bigger than the the kid. If you want to teach your kid how to use a gun that’s your business, but please wait until they are bigger and old enough to comprehend the damage a gun can do.

This isn’t about socialized healthcare, this is about the Alfie Evans case, check the hashtag, and was at its heart a dispute between grieving parents refusing to listen to doctors egged on by far-right politicians religious figures and false hope being offered by Italy, and has fueled the rampant distrust of doctors and the anti-intellectual streak infecting this country.

Also, there’s been MULTIPLE conspiracy theories lately on this hellsite as well as Facebook about bereaved parents holding up hospitals/doctors with guns to ‘save’ brain dead children that then miraculously wake up completely fine. It ain’t happened yet. Neither has there been an actual hijacking of a hospital or plane but it’s a scary fucking idea that might very soon become reality if we’re not careful.

So this has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it three days ago.

this is the polar opposite of Everybody Knows Shits Fucked

i didn’t know this til i looked up the video on youtube, but this dude is a super cool and accomplished musician! his name is Rushad Eggleston–wikipedia describes him as “an innovative musician who has changed the way the cello is played,“ but according to his personal website he’s a “cello goblin & otherworldly jester currently touring earth”
