Another half a year has come and with that another row of hairstyles!
When I started this over a year ago I had no idea I would keep it up. In September it has been 2 years watching the, then freshly green bean. Now that the original hair has returned I’ll see how many different hairstyles will happen in the upcoming years but I dont see much change possible as with the fading dye. Take this hairvolution as the last one in a while until there is more to do….
Allways watching, allways happy to be in the community! ❤
if net neutrality is taken away, your parents are gonna know every website you go on because now they have to pay for each of those websites.
you have a private tumblr/instagram/twitter/etc where you rant about your day or talk about your mental health and express your feelings without having to worry about judgement from irl family/friends/peers? if net neutrality is taken away, now they’ll have to know about it. have an account dedicated to porn, posting nudes, or sex? well, if net neutrality is gone, it’s taken away. not supposed to be online talking to strangers because of strict parents? there goes that too.
not only is all that lost (something that has honestly gotten me through some hard periods in my life because of my online friends and the ability to talk freely about what I’m going through without my parents knowing every detail), but now you can’t just search whatever you want and get that information right away. whether you need to look up something for math help, have a question about when a celebrities birthday is, or want to look at pictures of cute dogs: that is all monitored and can be blocked if your internet service provider deems it unnecessary or doesn’t want you to look at it. to my knowledge, you have to pay for all of that.
(mentioning this because expressing creativity is near and dear to my heart) net neutrality is going to make things so much harder for content creators, like YouTubers and artists and cartoonists and writers and photographers that share their work and get their following online. !!net neutrality is going to make just about everything harder, except for large corporations!!
in such a technological world, this. isn’t. FAIR. this isn’t RIGHT. and we can’t let these rich people who want even more money take away our internet!!
contact your representatives and spread the word. I’ve heard that it’s not acceptable to fill out net neutrality related things online and send them emails because of too many bots sending it to them. call them, write them. I know phone-calls can be scary and awkward (I recommend writing or typing out exactly what you want to say to them), but please consider taking the five minutes to talk to them to help save our internet.
this is an actual thing. this isn’t a joke. if we don’t do something about it, the internet as we know it and as we love it is going to change drastically, and not for the better.
This is true! The zoo where I volunteer (the illustrious Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) was one of the pioneers of this program.
Our zoo is known for raising cheetah cubs. Cheetahs have a terrible infant mortality rate and cubs are often rejected, so we get a lot of cubs to raise from all over the country (other zoos and sanctuaries, mostly).
The cubs are placed with a puppy friend when they are wee and small, so they grow up together like littermates. They play together, wrestle, and the dogs (yellow Labs) are so calm, friendly and well-socialized that the cheetahs take behavioral cues from them. When they meet new people, or go into new situations (which they often do, as ambassador animals for cheetah conservation), they check out if their dog friend is feeling chill – which he is – and then they know it’s okay for them to be chill, too.
Basically the dog is a service animal for them.
The cats need their dog friends less and less as they get older and more comfortable, but they still often hang out as grownups.
Our zoo does cheetah runs, where the cheetahs get to chase a lure and show off their speed. Often they’ll have one of the cheetahs run (we have like twelve cheetah), and then they’ll have one of the dogs do the run to show how much faster the cats are. People get a kick out of that. The dogs…let’s just say they try their best.
