I’m sitting in the pet ER waiting for Lola to come out of surgery. She was attacked by a porcupine. Watching people who love their pets so deeply is moving.

This is Biju. She’s recovering from a heart attack.
Listening to many stories of people who rescued their animal from abusive homes and now they’re dealing with the consequences of physical abuse. Heartbreaking and also inspiring that so many people have so much goodness and decency.
This beautiful boy is Sunflower. He’s having digestive issues. He barks when someone new enters.
This is Sunny. He has something stuck in his ear. He’s a very sweet boy.
Good news! He is okay and was just released!
Backstory: he’s friends with a cat and a raccoon.
Everyone here is amazing. They’re working ceaseless to help the animals. I’ll tweet the info of the ER shortly.
Lola will be fine! They took the quills out of her face and nose. She’s heavily drugged up now and I’m taking her home for a lot of TLC.

It would be interesting if every public university had its own Woki-leaks:

Woki-Leaks South Dakota: Exposing the Social Justice Crusade at South Dakota Public Universities

wokisd.wordpress.com
We're a group of parents, teachers, and students who are trying to help educate the public about the Social Justice crusade going on in some South Dakota public universities.
What we do, essentially, is anonymously leak/share evidence of political bias and indoctrination with the public.

Here are some problems with factoring historical injustices into decision making processes. Also known as “equity.”
1) Groups will compete for the distinction of having been the most historically oppressed so that they will receive the largest share of resources.
2) Individuals and groups will undervalue the traits necessary for success to the extent that they’ll receive an unequal distribution in their favor. This cycle cannot be broken because merit is inherently disincentivized.

3) Teach a generation of students that being offended by certain *ideas* makes them better people.
