not a dream

a truly bizarre missing person (people!) case is hitting Croatia

three young people and a small dog have disappeared after crossing the border between Croatia and Slovenia

they were on their way to the Netherlands for a job and were traveling by a car that one of them owns

they haven't been heard from since early Monday morning on November 7, 2022

one of them sent a message to their loved ones via a phone saying he's going to get back to them as soon as he changes the SIM card in his phone

since then, there's been no activity on any of their phones, accounts, anything

it's been days and their families are super worried

I'm thinking of making a writeup and posting it to Reddit because I know people usually mass share those if they see them on popular sites, and I'll share it here

I know I have a lot of European followers and I want to raise awareness about the situation

Paško has finally been reported missing as well!

Blue eyes, light brown hair, 176cm tall, 23 years of age. Disappeared a long with Tonino, Tina and their little female puppy.

tumblr: on languages

The thai for “5″ is pronounced roughly “Ha”, and so where english internets would generally put “lol” or something, they put “555555555″.

Croatian has “c”, “č” and “ć” and all of them are different letters. Both č and ć are pronounced like “ch” is pronounced in English, except č is pronounced in a stronger way, while ć is pronounced softer. So make sense of that.

How dare you shame our language without mentioning the absolute dirtiest laundry in our closet!

Croatian is a phonetic language, which means one letter is one phoneme. But at some point when we switched to the latin alphabet we realised we don’t have enough letters, and didn’t want to give up our ‘readable languge’ status.

Which is how lj, nj and dž now count as single letters.

Which tells you a lot about us as people, tbh.

I have been here, multiple times!  By referring to the order as a “Little Rosa”, you don’t have to make as big a deal out of the fact that you’re seeking help.

And believe it or not, it gets better. Rosa’s also gives out sweatshirts to the homeless (or sells them to the general public) that has information on local soup kitchens and even computer training in the area, on an insert sewn inside the sweatshirt.

(Details)

Reblogged again for these excellent details.

Also you can buy slices for the homeless through their online store, from anywhere, not just PA!

here is the link for anyone who wants to buy slices for the homeless

thank you for the comment about buying online! I am in canada but would love to help

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST

The URL has changed for their donations page. As of November 2019, this link should work.

$1 will get a slice for someone who needs it.

Ok listen up I think this is interesting.

The Ancient Egyptians had three seasons of 120 days, each divided in four months of 30 days each. This totals 360.

At the end of the year, they had five days that did not belong to any month or season, days that were the birthdays to five of their gods and had festivals and stuff there, they just added them to make the calendar fit with the Earth’s cycle. They’re called epagomenal days.

What I think is that those days have the exact same feel the days between Christmas and New Year do. They don’t exist. We’re not part of any month or season. We’re in epagomenal days. We’re waiting for time to make sense again. 

PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE WHO USES “BLUEBUFFALO” FOR THEIR DOGS!!

@k9kesi

And cats.  Blue Buffalo killed @sidneystrange ‘s cat.

THIS THIS THIS!!

I’ve been telling everyone I know for YEARS not to buy Blue Buffalo.

This is the short story:

A few years ago I took my sick cat, Ankh, to the vet. The vet and vet tech asked what I fed her. I told them Blue Buffalo. They looked like I had just told them I fed her razor blades and cyanide. They diagnosed her with pancreatitis and said that nearly all of the cats they’d been seeing lately with pancreatitis were being fed Blue Buffalo.  They gave her medicine and sent her home.  Two days later she had a seizure and died right in my arms. 

The day after she died Hannibal started displaying the same symptoms she had so I panicked hard and took him to the vet.  Got the same meds and the same diagnosis.  Luckily Hannibal survived.

I wish Ankh had survived. She was only ten and the best cat I’ve ever had. Literally the best and five years later I still cry when I think about her.

FUCK BLUE BUFFALO.

I don’t know the full story behind the tweets above, but a Google search shows there HAVE been several recalls regarding this brand, especially in 2016. I would absolutely avoid as it is not worth the risk.

@ladycyon

Good god thank you so much for sharing this because I’ve lately been considering switching to this brand cus it’s supposed to be so much better than all the others but good god what the hell.

I worked in a vet for a little while and I shit you not, when a dog came in with constant diarrhea they were always eating Blue Buffalo. We changed the food and the dog got better every time. Blue Buffalo is garbage food and never feed it to your pets.

I’ve never heard of this brand but I love my dog with all of my heart and I’d be broken if I ever accidently fed her this and got her sick (people give me different dog food to try all the time). I’d hate for anyone else to lose their pet also.

um?? what the fuck? holy FUCK my boyfriend and I were just about to start feeding our cat blue buffalo omg

Wft really?? Im never going to buy that killer food!! Praying for your pets!

I’m so glad I know this, I’d be heartbroken if my dog died

not trans related, but i have like no followers and this needs a wide audience

blue buffao has had many recalls for reasons including:

- salmonella

- mold

- aluminum

- melamine

- toxic levels of vitamin d

- propylene glycol

please share this with any pet owners you know, this is extremely important

Never buy Blue Buffalo. They’ve been awful for years.

An ancient Greek walks into his tailor’s shop with a pair of torn pants.

“Euripides?” says the tailor.

“Yeah, Eumenides?” replies the man.

This is so awful. It must go on to infect others.

so im trying to decipher this chart on wikipedia that has common vampire weaknesses in it and

a ‘green/yes’ is a weakness, a ‘red/no’ is something that isnt a weakness, and a ‘?’ is something that has never been addressed but fucking riddle me this

in what lore are vampires weak to getting soggy in milk

i scrolled over to check to see what this could possibly be and

places a hand on me cheek

happy halloween month time for my favourite post of all time

Denver Zoo and its gay lorikeets said fuck homophobes happy Pride

In case anyone was curious, Denver Zoo is literally hosting a Pride event this year called “True Colors Safari”:

“Celebrate Your YOUness with an adventure-packed evening at Denver Zoo! Whether it’s in the animal kingdom or your own community, we all thrive when our unique selves come together in beautiful harmony. After all, we’re each perfect exactly the way we are. So come join this celebration where birds of every feather can flock together and show off their true colors in wild and amazing ways. Explore a festive world of music, entertainment, food and drinks, community conversations and fascinating animal experiences all highlighting the LGBTQIA+ community and organizations.”

So yeah. These homophobes are REALLY barking up the wrong tree. 

I’m seeing stuff in the notes about “Miles would do this” and I just want to say: you’re absolutely right. All Spider-folks across all universes share one (1) singular brain cell and most of the time it’s Gwen’s.

As the current author of Spider-Gwen, I can attest that Gwen has not seen the brain cell in years.

Yes, because for a little under two years, I worked at Marvel on “Avengers Assemble”. And I ABSOLUTELY (in a hilarious phone conversation with my bosses) pitched an idea for a toss-away joke episode for the show:

Avengers tower gets blown up, because what’s not suspicious about A GIANT A on the side of your secret base in the middle of the city???

So they put up a front store downtown in the place of an old salon and day spa. They all work there. Thor is a massage therapist, Rocket is a therapy animal, Bruce is a colorist, yada yada.

All their enemies miss it because who expects Tony Stark to be handing out hot towels to people getting their eyebrows threaded?

Hawkeye and Star Lord are the owners. They call it Marvel-Us Salon & Day Spa.

Because puns.

ALL inspired from the crazy antics of this website.
