McShep Is My Favorite OTP

These are some of them, most were golden retrivers and labradors, but also included german shepherds and other breeds. Sadly most are dead now, while many people forget them and don’t spare them a thought. 

As people lay dying, trapped and hurt, a team of nearly 100 loyal and courageous search dogs put their lives on the line to help humans. Without them, many more would not have survived, yet few people consider them. 

In such a chaotic, terrifying, hot, acrid-smelling, smokey and loud environment, countless human lives depended on their ability to focus, listen, respond to their handlers, and work tirelessly. Stepping over cracked glass, hot tarmac, through flames and thick smoke, being winched over deep ravines, they battled on to seek out survivors and bring them aid. 

They worked around the clock, day and night, searching, sniffing, over and over. Not only did they search, but they comforted - many eyewitnesses speak of how the dogs would stop and sit by newly-recovered victims, giving them a sense of hope and relief, before moving on to look for the next. As the situation became desperate, and the rescue workers and fire teams became utterly distraught at the amount of people who were recovered dead, these dogs brought them comfort, sitting with them on breaks, letting them grieve.

Many of these dogs are old, and have passed away. Let us remember the courage and loyalty they showed at such a horrendous event. They didn’t have a choice, but nonetheless they did what was asked of them and helped save countless lives. Don’t let their bravery be forgotten today either, or their determination to be a ‘good dog’ despite the scary and dangerous environment around them.

This. This right here is why I REPEATEDLY said I didn’t believe it and why I felt the need to tell several people to stop spreading rumors and check your sources.

Every single photo op and autograph session ran late this weekend. EVERY single one, and for a variety of reasons. All of which boiled down to, you have a lot of people signing up for these things and both ops end up taking forever. And sometimes things get paused, ALSO for a variety of reasons (like, for example, they’re running late and the talent could, oh I don’t know, use a fucking break).

A lot of this was started and SPREAD by people who weren’t there. And yet this nonsense went down, making Chris have to address it PUBLICLY (which I PROMISE YOU means it’s going to get picked up by the news media, and he’s going to have to KEEP addressing it).

Next time, check your fucking sources. Get PROOF. And stop turning the Marvel fandom into a crazy place. A lot of us like it here.

‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

This kid is an inspiration to us all.

Bishop Curry V may be young (10 years old, to be precise), but the little kid from Texas has some big ideas. He’s currently working on a device that could help prevent children from dying in hot cars.

The number of children who died in hot cars increased across the country last year, and Texas had the highest number of cases. Sadly for Bishop, the issue also hits close to home because a baby died in a minivan last summer outside a home near his own family’s home in McKinney.

Bishop was inspired to create a device he calls “Oasis,” which would attach to a car seat and detect if a child is left inside the vehicle, prompting it to blow cool air until parents or the police are notified.

“It would be a dream to have lots of inventions that would save many lives,” the precocious 10-year-old told the news station.

A lot of people don’t realize how easy it is to leave something in a hot car. It’s easy to forget something when it’s not in your daily routine, especially if it’s asleep or under a blanket or something. This is a nightmare. I don’t have kids myself, but I can absolutely understand how this could happen- everyone’s sick so you’re probably kind of out of it, you run in thinking you’re just going to be a minute, get distracted with the task at hand… and then your child dies in a horrific way because of it…

I’m all for any methods or technologies that can help prevent it from turning tragic.

I like this! Explains their relationship perfectly! ^_^

McKAY: OK. We think we’ve found a way to uncouple the nanite cells from Elizabeth’s cells. We create a distraction. What were the nanites originally designed to do? DEX: Fight the Wraith. McKAY: Exactly. So that’s what we’ll get them to do now. We think by implanting a small amount of Wraith tissue into Doctor Weir’s body… the nanite cells will essentially attack it. They have to - it’s what they are programmed to do, which will draw them away from Elizabeth’s cells, effectively unbinding them….that’s all we need; momentary distraction to draw them away from her so we can zap ‘em with the E.M. pulse.
