i think I should make some video essays. I don't expect them to skyrocket in popularity or anything but I am passionate about the topics at the root of them all and I wanna talk about em.
They will be about animal welfare and how humans should treat them... primarily basing it in factual information I (and possibly whoever I hire/volunteers to help, though I doubt these will get me enough to warrant that) manage to get from reputable sources and also in generally having compassion for the other living things we share this planet with.
The first will be about dogs, their historical jobs, and why the breed(s) of your dog should inform what dog you get based on more than just temperament.
The second will be about cats and their stigmas, poor treatment, and abuse by the world - effectively debunking a lot of the reasons people dislike cats and explaining why they are such particular creatures who clash with as many as they do.
The third will be about livestock animals and how a lot of portrayals of them and their care get things so wrong - I will possibly divide it into parts if there's enough details to go into on individual or groups of animals beyond just the broad issues.
The fourth will be about unethical breeds in all species with breeds - pet animals AND livestock, because they get fucked over too.
the fifth, which may not happen, would be about tamed animals like small rodents (hamsters and the like) and lizards, as well as fully wild animals that people have had to tame for ethical purposes. (ie: raccoons raised by humans bc the other option was them dying in the wild, and wild cats brought up in captivity. basically otherwise wild animals who wouldn't be safe to release)
the sixth, which also may not happen, would cover strictly wild animals - and go into why we need to start leaving them the hell alone aside from keeping the ones that can stay wild in the wild. forever. because they deserve homes and respect like we do.
in video five I may go over why it feels wrong to leave an animal too disabled for the wild to die - particularly as a disabled person myself, but also as a person with the capability to see that disabilities shouldn't have to cause the death of anything (if they're not necessarily terminal by nature, but even creatures with terminal illnesses/disabilities deserve respect, love, safety, and comfort). it will primarily be about why sometimes an animal cannot be safely put back in the wild, though - cover situations like a wild cat who was mistaken for a domestic cat at a very young age, leading to it being unfit for the wild, or, more importantly, situations where the animal has too many disadvantages in general and would die in the wild. it will also talk about how we cant and shouldn't save every animal, but if there's one or two a wildlife expert/handler can help, why not let them. talk about what good having tamed animals around does for education about wild animals, etc etc. but I may save the non pet tame animals for video six altogether, or make it 7 parts, as tamed pets like lizards and hamsters etc may wind up being a big enough topic for a solo video.
reblog or interact in general with any ideas, I wanna hear what people think about this!

c*thy and chr*stie are the same in that they will both get labeled "successful" for what happened under their "leadership" but at the end of the day all the good things that happened happened in spite of them.

This whole train derailment thing in East Palestine, Ohio is so horrific.
And those toxic chemicals got into the Ohio River!
And I heard people saying that there was danger that it could possibly get into another body of water?
Apparently, this is going to affect 10% of the country's water supply, as things are? (According to one comment I saw, anyway.)
The place really has become the next Chernobyl, and everything has been handled so badly! (I feel if this had happened in a bigger state, that wouldn't have happened. And I strongly feel they should have evacuated everyone on day one.)
And no one's talking about it! In fact, at first they were covering it up and tried to arrest at least one reporter on the job of reporting the truth (finally more people are starting to discuss all of this, but still not as many as you would think. Especially with the massive ramifications this could have for so many!)
And why hasn't the president or any of the big wigs talked about this or done anything about it? Why didn't people in hazmat suits knock on the people in East Palestine's doors to tell them to evacuate when they finally did give them that order, instead of acting so blasé? You know if it was a place that people actually cared about, people would do so much more. I'm disgusted with my country.
#and it sounds like the whole thing might have happened because the railroad workers had gone on strike because they wanted safer worker#conditions and sick days. something that the president denied them. which in turn led to this tragedy#and also because. like. the railroad lines/tech is really ancient stuff that hasn't been updated since the civil war?#basically. as always. greed won out over safety measures and now we have this to thank for it#i guess people are also worried that acid rain could come from this. from that massive black cloud that's still over east palestine ohio#you know what? i wasn't going to admit this for many reasons. and maybe i still shouldn't. i might come back and delete this tag#but i'm from ohio. not from this city. but guess who still has to worry about all of this now affecting her (like the water not being safe)#and is furious about it and how everything's been handled? this girl#at this point there's a good chance i may die from cancer somewhere down the line from the water i've already ingested (that was#contaminated) since the derailment happened. before they were upfront about just how bad all of this was#and now i'm even MORE mad. in some ways. upon rewatching this one video i had before and realizing i'd gotten some of the context of it#wrong before. like apparently they've let some people come BACK to live in the town if they have nowhere else to go. being like 'carry on.#there's nothing to see here!' when that is NOT okay. when the town is still SO VERY TOXIC and hazardous to their health. and. tbh. the#government should probably be flipping the bill for them to be staying elsewhere for their safety at the moment

Super happy to have HSH up on the site.
In addition to being a great game, developer Nick Lives purposefully put in phobia toggles to make the game more accessible.
"We're really interested overall in sharing our love of the horror genre with more people, and I think some people write off their interest in the genre because they don't like having a sudden spike of actual, tangible anxiety when watching something that's meant to be entertaining."

Safety Video – Health and Safety Training Videos for the oil and gas industry
Tumblr media
The oil and gas industry is known for its unique and challenging working environments that require a high level of health and safety awareness to mitigate risks and ensure the well-being of workers. This is a crucial industry for the economy of the Middle East, and employers should look to improve their workplace safety in any way they can.
Health and safety training is a critical aspect of the industry that helps employees understand the potential hazards they may face on the job and how to prevent accidents or injuries. Training videos have become a popular tool for delivering health and safety training in the oil and gas industry. Mostly, it’s due to their ability to convey complex information in an engaging and easily digestible format. Here at Studio52, we’ve gone a long way in helping many industry names to improve their safety issues.
In this article, we’ll be discussing how our videos can help you achieve that extra layer of safety at your rigs!
1.   They Capture The Attention
When it comes to learning, people tend to have different preferences. While some might enjoy reading lengthy texts or listening to a trainer, others may find it tedious and unengaging. On the other hand, watching a movie or video is a more visually stimulating way to learn. It has been found that the majority of individuals would prefer to watch a video or movie over other learning options.s
In the context of workplace safety, traditional training methods like lectures or written materials aren’t as effective in engaging employees. It’s easy for them to become disinterested and zone out during lengthy safety lectures, ultimately leading to a lack of retention of crucial information.
This is where safety animation videos come in handy. Safety animation videos use vivid graphics, thrilling sound effects, and interesting voiceovers to convey crucial safety information in a way that is both captivating and easily digestible.
By watching these videos, employees can learn and retain important safety information without putting in much mental effort. The engaging format of safety animation videos ensures that employees stay focused and interested throughout the training!
youtube
2.   Dangerous Situations Presented Easily
The oil and gas industry is notorious for its complex and hazardous equipment, which can lead to accidents and injuries for workers if proper safety measures are not implemented.
One potential solution to this issue is the use of safety animation videos. These videos offer a visually stimulating and engaging way to educate workers on safety standards and procedures. By recreating dangerous scenarios in a virtual environment, safety animation videos allow workers to visualize potential hazards and how to effectively handle them.
While it may not be possible to recreate certain life-threatening situations in real life, safety animation videos can accurately simulate these scenarios in a controlled and safe environment. This approach enables workers to witness and understand the gravity of the situation without being exposed to any actual danger.
youtube
3.   Allows For An Easy Access
In today’s technology-driven world, smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. People carry their smartphones with them wherever they go, whether at work or home. Given this, animated safety videos have emerged as a highly effective training tool that can be accessed by workers anytime, anywhere.
One of the key advantages of safety animation videos is their convenience. Watching a video does not require much time and can easily fit into the busiest of schedules. Workers can watch these videos during their downtime, such as during breaks or while commuting to and from work. This flexibility means that workers can easily access the training material whenever it is most convenient for them.
Moreover, the ability to watch these videos multiple times allows workers to effectively retain and recall crucial safety information. Repetition is a key factor in learning, and watching a safety animation video multiple times helps reinforce important safety concepts and procedures.
4.   They’re Cost Effective
Ensuring the health and safety of workers is a top priority for any responsible organization. However, investing in traditional training methods such as real-life demonstrations or videos can often be expensive, time-consuming, and challenging to coordinate. This can create a financial burden that many organizations may find difficult to justify, particularly in an era of budget constraints and fiscal responsibility.
Fortunately, there is a more cost-effective and efficient solution available – safety animation videos. These videos can be produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional training methods, making them an attractive option for organizations looking to train their workers on a budget.
Not only are safety animation videos more affordable, but they also provide an opportunity to explain safety concepts and situations more clearly. By using visually stimulating graphics and animations, these videos can effectively convey complex safety information clearly and concisely.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the oil and gas industry requires a strong commitment to health and safety. The potential risks and hazards are plenty, and organizations must prioritize the safety of their workers. Health and safety training videos have emerged as a highly effective tool to train workers on safety procedures and protocols.
These videos are cost-effective, convenient, and can be accessed by workers anytime, anywhere, making them an attractive option for organizations looking to train their workers on a budget.
To order your next awesome safety video, just go with the best service out there and contact us with confidence!

Emergency: Help Evacuate My Family From GAZA WAR
Dear Humanity,
I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).
Tumblr media
I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.
Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.
The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.
We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.
Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.
youtube
A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.
Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare
I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.

Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future
My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.
Tumblr media
As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.
Tumblr media
When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.
We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.
As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.
Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.
Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.
I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.
Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign
The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.

The only thing I'd add to this is that I don't think cats are the largest invasive species in the world...that dubious prize goes to the humans.
I've been seeing a lot of Discourse around outdoor cats that talks past one of the biggest problems addressing community cats/outdoor working cats so I thought I'd chime in with my two cents.
Many arguments I see just... don't think about the cats at all? Or don't consider the logistics of actually addressing the feral cat problem in a humane way. It's always about how outdoor cats shouldn't be outdoors, which is neither realistic nor helpful.
I used to volunteer at an municipal animal shelter in the USA that had a TNR program (Trap, Neuter, Return) and also adopted out community cats to local farms and businesses. Here's my side of the story.
"Your cat doesn't need to be outside" -- Yes, correct. Your domesticated (non-feral) house cat does not need to go outside at all. They can have a fully actualized life safely indoors. When I see this argument, proponents of indoor only cats are correct in most or all their arguments regarding this.
"Outdoor cats are the largest invasive species in the world, and decimate bird populations." -- This is also correct, and part of the reason why you can help by bringing your house cat indoors. Cats are the largest invasive species. Spay and Neuter your cats, bring them inside, and socialize them so they don't become feral.
"TNR doesn't work." -- False. Whether we like it or not, feral cats exist. We have two methods by which we can address the feral cat population -- decimating them (humanely euthanizing the whole colony) or TNR. For a long time, euthanasia was the preferred way to address the feral cat problem. Afterall, if the cats aren't there, doesn't that save the local wildlife population?
Except that we found, studying these colonies, that when a colony is wiped out, the cats of another colony will spread into their territory and continue to have kittens and the population of feral cats is neither controlled nor diminished.
Hence, TNR. What we found performing TNR on cat colonies was that this controlled the population of the colonies, allowing them to stay in their territory, which kept other colonies from spreading (especially colonies we hadn't performed TNR on yet). We at the shelter felt this was the most humane way to control the feral cat population and safely deflate their existence without dealing with the population blooms that euthanasia caused.
"What about kittens?" -- Kittens from these colonies were brought into the shelter, socialized, and fostered out until they could be adopted. Some of these semi-feral kittens needed special homes to be adopted into, but this was the best quality of life for these cats.
"What about cats that get missed during TNR?" -- We would return to the colony several times over a period of several years to perform TNR on the same colony. We mark cats that have been neutered by clipping their ear (this is done humanely, but is the most reliable way to tell if a cat has been neutered so the poor thing doesn't have to have surgery 3-4 times in their life). Also, during the TNR process the cats would be vaccinated to ensure disease did not spread from the colony (i.e. rabies). Still, even getting 60% of the colony TNR'd would dramatically reduce the number of kittens being added to the colony each year. This controlled the population by allowing the territory to naturally deflate in size over time, buying us time to address the larger feral cat problem.
"What if the colony was in an unsafe location?" -- There were two ways we addressed unsafe colony locations -- remember, we know that when the colony is removed, a new colony will move into its place, so we tried not to move the colony unless we really felt the cats or the public was unsafe -- one was to move the whole colony to a new location. Preferably someplace like a warehouse where we have an agreement with the owners of the warehouse. Some of the cats were even relocated to shelter grounds as our community cats. If the colony was small enough we would bring them into our Feral Cats room and adopt them out as community cats.
"What is a community cat?" -- The way the program worked, was that anyone who needed a working cat could apply to the program. These were often rural farmers or businesses with warehouses that needed rodent protection. We trained the farmers and businesses on how to acclimatize the cats to their new home, and as part of the agreement, they had to care for the cats (veterinary care, vaccinations, food and water). This gave businesses and farms an alternative to expensive and environmentally unfriendly rodent control, and also gave these feral cats good places to live out their natural lives.
"Can't you just adopt out feral cats?" -- No. Cats that have not been socialized around humans as kittens, or who have several generations of feral cat in them could not interact with humans in a way that did not cause them undue stress. This was not a humane way to handle feral cats. However, when a cat was brought into the feral cat room, they would be monitored for up to a week. If the cat displayed signs of being semi-social or fully social (hanging out outside of their den, allowing staff to pet them, showing interest in staff in the room), then we would either move the cat into the adoption room or place them in foster to be socialized before adoption. Feral cats who displayed signs of being able to live full and healthy lives with human companions were NOT adopted out as community cats. We also observed this behavior during TNRs and would do the same for those cats too.
"But aren't cats bad hunters?" -- Compared to other species, cats are not the most effective form of rodent control. This is true. However, you have to understand that feral cats exist. There is no "undo" button we can push to stop them from existing. We have to deal with the problem we have right now, which is to safely and humanely decrease the number of feral cats in our communities. And yes, we do that by using cats as rodent control in the community.
"What can I do?" -- Stop saying community cats shouldn't exist. That's not helpful and doesn't solve the problem we have. Bring your cat indoors. Spay and neuter your cats. Adopt from shelters. Volunteer with a TNR team. Support TNR efforts in your community. Recognize that those of us actively dealing with the community/feral problem are trying to do what is in the best interest of our communities and the animals we love. We aren't sitting over here saying these cats should exist -- a feral cat will not have the same quality of life as one that is indoors with a family -- but we have to address the problem in practical terms. We don't have the moral high ground to just do nothing while pontificating solutions that have no basis in actuality.
And yes, it's okay to celebrate community cats. If your local farm has a couple of working cats, that means that farm is helping participate in the safe deflation of the feral cat population. Don't shame a farm or business for using community cats. We're all doing the best we can to solve the problem that we have.
