For anyone who was eligible to vote in the US elections in 2016 and didn't, let this be a lesson.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!

I'm off to drink some wine now. It's the only way I can cope wth this day. :(((

it's been a while since I've done one of these, but I have been collecting links, so I figured it was time to post what I have, even if some links may be old. ;)

• Abandoned Pomeranian gets a new lease on life. <3
  
  
• I am not generally a fan of bachelorette parties, but this warrior themed one looks like it kicked ass. What a great idea!
  
  
• Weird animal feet are, yes, weird.
  
  
• Here's an adorable thing! Apparently, dogs everywhere are doing the snoot challenge. *g*
  
  
• I've never played ice hockey, and I'm not really an NFL fan (despite being married to a Canadian) but thanks to pir8smile I have more hope that things will work out fine and that Robert Mueller, hockey player, can bring down the Orange nightmare.
  
  
• Husband sneaks dog into hospital to say goodbye to dying wife. OMG, my heart! *sniffs*
  
  
• So I'm not necessarily a fan of the British royals, but I do love how in love Harry and Megan are. *draws hearts around them*
  
  
• This may be my new favorite thing! Photos of dogs jumping on trampolines. *g*
  
  
• And finally, on the other end of the spectrum, apparently snakes in the toilet is evidently a thing. Eeeeek! Definitely not my fave. *shudders*
  
  

Right, let's all have a fantastic rest of week, everyone, yeah? And as always, love trumps hate. ♥

I don't know about you, but I needed things to help me smile this week. Oi vey.

• Adorable baby pandas are adorable!
  
  
• Clever photographer gives a wheelchair bound child a photoshoot to remember.
  
  
• Every November, these parents try to convince their kids their toys come to life. So fun and clever.
  
  
• I was going to try to avoid mentioning Trump this week, but this is too funny not to include. After all, he is the very model of a very stable genius.
  
  
• This is what happens when Americans try to label the European countries on maps. Of course, they're not much better when the tables are turned. *g*
  
  
• The huskiest adorable things to happen in the history of huskies. :)
  
  
• Funny tweets by and/or about women. Hahahahaha!
  
  
• And so now black people can't eat at IHOP without being accused of stealing? *shakes head*
  
  
• This chef creates desserts that look like anything but. So cool! Although I'd prolly think twice before eating the cigarettes and ashtray cake. :P
  
  
• OMG, I just found a new adorable creature to love. Indian rainbow squirrels! Eeeee!
  
  
• These cake disasters are sad but kinda hilarious, too.
  
  
• And finally, one of the best explanations I've seen for why white people shouldn't use the n-word. I have gotten tired of having this argument in RL. I think I'll just direct everyone to this article. :)

Right, let's all have a fantastic week, everyone, and as always, love trumps hate. ♥

• This artist reimagines classic works with black femininity. Gorgeous!
  
  
• How to tell similar animals apart. I always get confused between alligators and crocodiles. :P
  
  
• I'm sure many of you have seen this, but I hadn't until this week and by the end I was cheering and singing along, so I'm sharing. Carpool karaoke with Paul McCartney.
  
  
• Apparently our dogs are smarter than we thought. Science proved dogs can sense bad people.
  
  
• Someone tries to Mansplain Jane Austin to women readers. As you can imagine, it doesn't go well. LOL.
  
  
• You know the national discussion we're having about 'civility' in the US right now? Well, I think Dan Rather sums it up rather well in this post.
  
  
• From mywitch, I got this video, which made me ponder, Did Mary Poppins go to Hogwarts?
  
  
• Steve Bannon (ugh, just typing that name makes me want to take a shower) tried to claim MLK would like what Trump is doing. His daughter's response? AHAHAHAHAHA! No.
  
  
• Why you should never leave water bottles in your hot car. Eeek!
  
  
• Ah, Japan. You guys can be odd, but also, awesome! *g*
  
  
• This made me chortle. Low cost cosplay. He is super creative, I'll give him that. LOLOL!
  
  
• And finally, I saw this on Twitter but it's a lot easier to follow here. Couple documents potential love story they may have engineered on a plane. Just adorable! <3
  
  

( Cartoon(s) of the week )

Have a great Sunday, all, and, as always, remember love trumps hate. ♥

• The roundest puppy ever is round and perfect! <3
  
  
• Confused about North Korea and what we're doing there? Scandinavia and the world sums it up well.
  
  
• In case you wondered, yes cats really hate selfies.
  
  
• Just as a reminder, gay black people are not here for white, hetero amusement. *snap*
  
  
• I had no idea how gorgeous insects are after the rain. Wow!
  
  
• Not sure how I feel about these vintage LOLCat pictures. Some are cute, some are kinda creepy. :P
  
  
• I wasn't going to talk about the horrible family separation policy, but when Ivanka posts a tweet congratulating POTUS for fixing the problem he himself created? Well, all I can say is, the hypocrisy, it burns.
  
  
• The Golden Girls as Disney princesses. Surprisingly perfect!
  
  
• I can't avoid this topic it seems. At least this seems appropriate. America's detention centers added to Wikipedia's list of concentration camps.
  
  
• Okay, after al that, I need a link to make me smile. Here you go! <3
  
  
• I do love sassy kids (maybe because I don't have any, LOL), and these students have a sass level of ten. *giggles*

Have a excellent Sunday, and yes, love trumps hate every time. ♥

• Let's start with something happy, shall we? A gay couple walking home after prom had some drunk bros change their night in an unexpectedly good way. This one made me smile. :)
  
  
• Since Canada is apparently no longer our friend, here's a look inside their dangerous, security threat of a nation. Sad. :P
  
  
• Dad tweets conversations with his daughters and proves kids are brutal. Heh.
  
  
• Even though flying is already uncomfortable, airlines are apparently planning to make things even worse. Ugh.
  
  
• Although it would be worth flying to see someone try to bring this 'service animal' on a plane. *giggles*
  
  
• Here's a product I'd like to see developed just because. Penis slings.
  
  
• Male Marvel actors genderbent to look like women. Most are adorable either way!
  
  
• This is why everyone needs beta readers/editors, especially men trying to write women. *sigh*
  
  
• So I try not to know much about celebrities because the more I know the less I seem to like, but Chris Evans appears to be the exception to that rule. Here he is, Encouraging animal adoption. Look at all those adorable babies!
  
  
• Time for the weekly quiz! This time it claims only highly intuitive people will pass this unique spelling test. It said I got them all correct. See how you do!
  
  
• And finally, RIP, Anthony Bourdain. You will be missed. :(

Sorry I'm a day late this week, but yesterday was busy since I went back to Wakanda. ;)

• Stunning underwater photography images are stunning.
  
  
• I don't know if you've heard about the legislation recently passed in Poland which states anyone who says Poles were complicit in the holocaust can be prosecuted. In light of that I found this article interesting and disturbing.
