I won this in a youtube giveaway, but my mom gave me one for my birthday a day or two before the giveaway ended so I figured that I would pay it forward!
I will never understand why this Christmas song goes so hard.
OKAY MOTHERFUCKERS LISTEN UP
BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS NOT CAROL OF THE BELLS
IT IS CHRISTMAS EVE/SARAJEVO 12/24 AND IT IS SO MUCH FUCKING MORE THAN CAROL OF THE BELLS.
so during the bosnian war (which was this nasty-ass conflict in bosnia and herzgovina) there was this badass cello-playing motherfucker named vedran smailovic. He was from Sarajevo, was upset about all the shit and nastiness that came about through this war (this was full-on brother-killing-brother shit!) that he went around to bombed-out, blown up buildings and funderals––where he was at risk of FUCKING SNIPER FIRE––and playing the cello. This guy was so set on providing one tiny spot of beauty in a seriously nasty war he was risking being fucking SHOT OR BLOWN UP.
AND THIS IS THE GUY WHO INSPIRED THIS SONG.
He’s why there’s the calm cello part at the beginning before everything gets all violent-sounding. It’s THEMATIC.
THAT’S WHY THIS CHRISTMAS SONG GOES SO FUCKING HARD.
I’m a huge TSO/Savatage nerd. Thank you for this.
This is the soundtrack to that one boss fight that you’ve been dreading but also hyping for the entire game.
Purina tidy cats lightweight litter has caused serious health issues in cats. They include wheezing, bloody nose, bloody urine and respiratory problems. If you are currently using this product, please keep a close eye on your feline’s health. Please consider avoiding purchasing this product if possible as it is not worth the risk.
This isn’t the first time a Purina product has been reported to adversely affect pets, we posted earlier this year that Beneful is facing a class action lawsuit for the death of 4,000 dogs.
As parents of furchildren, we need to be more aware of the food and products we give our babies and not be blinded by big budget campaigns and advertisements from giant pet brands. They may claim to have our pets’ best interests at heart but that is not always the case.
Every single one of you, please please reblog this to help inform others.
Actually gonna reblog this to my main blog because this should get more exposure
Be careful, pet owners, this is not a hoax. Some of the Amazon reviews are painful and sickening to read, this stuff is so damaging to pets. Don’t buy it, don’t let others buy it.
I literally just bought this at the store today. I will promptly return it.
Fair warning, this product is, in my experience, really, really terrible for people who have asthma or any kind of respiratory problems as well.
it contains perlite which is an industrial insulator. also silica and bentonite, which if fine enough are respiratory hazards.
From the MSDS sheet:
Dust may be irritating to skin, eyes and nasal passages.
Maintaining occupation exposures to dust to levels less than the occupational
exposure levels are recommended to minimize the potential for
silicosis, respiratory tract, eyes and skin irritation.
Health Hazard – Carcinogenicity
Inhalation:
Short Term: Dust may irritate the nasal passages.
Long Term: Breathing small particles can be hazardous to lungs. This product
contains crystalline silica in extremely small amounts. Crystalline silica in high
concentrations can cause lung disease.
Even the MSDS sheet says you need to be in a well ventilated area and minimize exposure if using. That alone is a red flag.
Signal boosting because holy crap. We used that for years at my folks’ house back when we had cats, and my mom has asthma, as do my bro and I. YIKES.
