tekena:

A lion and a miniature sausage dog have formed an unlikely friendship after the little dog took the king of the jungle under his wing as a cub.
Bonedigger, a five-year old male lion, and Milo, a seven-year old Dachshund, are so close that Milo helps the lion clean his teeth after dinner.
The 500lbs lion dwarfs little Milo, yet after the dog took the disabled lion into his protection as a cub, Bonedigger has rarely left his side.

The two have been inseparable over the past five years at G.W. Exotic Animal Park in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
Bonedigger was born with a metabolic bone disease that left him mildly crippled.

He said: ‘This friendship between an 11 pound wiener dog and a 500 pound lion is the only of it’s kind in the world ever seen.’
Mr Reinke, who lost both his legs after a bungee jumping accident, added that the friendship between Bonedigger and his pack is unique.
‘He wouldn’t be so friendly with other dogs - it’s all down to them being pals since he was a cub. ‘
Milo often gives his best lion impression, copying Bonedigger’s ‘puffing’ - a deafening lion growl that can be heard over a mile away.
Wild lions use it to communicate with other prides in their natural environment.
‘Milo does his best to copy Bonedigger when the lion tries puffing to communicate with other lions in the park ,’ added John.
G.W. Exotic Animal Park has recently been affected by the deadly tornado that swept through Oklahoma on May 20th.
The park was damaged and flooded, but is still managing to provide shelter for domestic and wild creatures that are homeless because of the storm.

Man Finds ‘Action Comics’ #1 (1938) in Wall of House, Features First Appearance of Superman

I had heard that the original estimated price (approx 2 mil) went down by $75k, because this guy’s In-Laws snatched the comic out of his hands (and causing it to rip) in their eagerness to see it.

.

According to a report from Star Tribune, here is how David and his family feel about the tear:

“I am a humble working guy, so I didn’t get too excited when I found it with old newspapers stuffed in the walls,” said Gonzalez, a father of four. “Money won’t buy you happiness.”

His in-laws didn’t have the same reaction.

“They got all excited and tried to take it,” he said. “I understand it’s something cool, but told them: ‘You don’t have to act so rude. I brought you in to show you, don’t grab it.’?”

WHAT kind of fucking adult DOES that?

aloverthatsighs:

This body of work is an exploration of the extent of cultural appropriation and encourages a discussion about it. I give the appropriator and the appropriated the opportunity to defend themselves and create a dialogue between them, while maintaining a neutral stance myself. I am not attacking those who appropriate, merely educating and creating awareness. I’m also exploring appropriation myself, and discovering the carying degrees of it within this visual conversation.

I’d like to make this a long term exploration, with a lot more participants as a form of generation-wide debate. If you’d like to be photographed to add your point of view, please do not hesitate to pop me a message here or an email at sanaahamid@yahoo.com and we could work something out!

Reblog if you want your followers to ask you anything they're curious about.

david jon kassan’s portraits fascinate me. he layers multiple colors in a way that gives the skin a totally naturalistic depth. it’s pretty astounding. i mean, it’s not hyperrealism… you can see the brush strokes. but, in a way it’s more realistic than hyperrealism? i don’t know. i love his work.

Thanks to my friend Priyanka for this amazing quote! I met Priyanka when I visited India in 2010. She was a wonderful host for me and four of my friends for more than a week in Delhi. She was here in Austria this week, our first get-together after more than 3 years. Right now she’s sitting on her plain back to India.

Priyanka, it was great seeing you again, you’ll be missed! Have a nice trip!
