Johnny Weir: That’s Gay. I was seriously irked whenever I had to listen to the commentators talk about Weir like he was some sort of circus freak. Don’t even get me started on Elvis ”leather pants and karate ain’t gay” Stojko. The ice-skating version of Ross Geller - Sit the fuck DOWN.

When the Marines cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war, one remains in his kennel. Quivering.
Out of the 58 bomb-sniffing dogs the Marines have in Afghanistan, only one—a brown-eyed, floppy-eared yellow Lab named Gunner is suffering from such severe canine post-traumatic stress disorder that he had to sit out the ongoing offensive in central Helmand Province.
Gunner and his handlers prepared for a recent training session.“He’s the only combat-ineffective dog out here,” says his kennel chief, Cpl. Chad McCoy.
Like their human comrades, some war dogs can handle combat, and some can’t. One Marine Corps explosives dog, a black Lab named Daisy, has found 13 hidden bombs since arriving in Afghanistan in October. Zoom, another Lab, refused to associate with the Marines after seeing one serviceman shoot a feral Afghan dog. Only after weeks of retraining, hours of playing with a reindeer squeaky toy and a gusher of good-boy praise was Zoom willing to go back to work.
“With some Marines, PTSD can be from one terrible event, or a cumulative effect,” says Maj. Rob McLellan, 33-year-old operations officer of the 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, who trains duck-hunting dogs back home in Green Bay, Wis. Likewise, he says, the stress sometimes “weighs a dog down to the point where the dog just snaps.”

Now testing: Pages
You can now add static pages to your blog, with a few very useful options. Head to your blog’s Customize page and click the “Pages” menu to get started. There are currently three types of Pages you can create:
- Standard Layout. Create a simple page with a title and body using your current theme.
- Custom Layout. Create a page with a completely separate layout.
- Redirect. Forward a route to a page on another domain. Useful for maintaining links when moving your domain name over to Tumblr.
Developers: Check out the Theme Docs for instructions on implementing the new
{block:Pages}tag.
Already got a rambling About page on the go. It’s the little things.

Rebecca Dart has some of the most imaginative and fantastic art! Her sketches of barbariennes and their kitten steeds both crack me up and ignite my imagination!
Most of her barbarienne + kitten art depicts naked bewbz so viewer beware if you’re surfing from the office.
Because who doesn’t adore kitty steeds? NOBODY, THAT’S WHO!

Anonymous asked: So why did we join Tumblr then?
Because - as I’ve been discussing with people I know - I’ve reached the end of my rope with WordPress.
Every day was a different update for either the platform, or a plug-in. Every day there was some sort of fail. Paying for hosting and counting the downtime was starting to become outright offensive, and I am getting lazy in my old age.
Which is a point to be made, apparently. I haven’t suddenly gone stupid and de-evolved geekerjoy into some simple blogging service. I am fricking LAZY and this was a great alternative.
I tried pretty much everyone - I even toyed with staying hosted and using Movable Type, EE or the likes. But, Tumblr’s got what I need.
Easy to use, easy to post, straightforward to customize, and custom domains. What’s not to love? Added bonus of great community, and I suggest ya’ll ditch what you’re doing, and get over here :)
