yes, everyone, this. alpha wolves are not a real thing. neither are alpha dogs. also, dogs have been domesticated for many thousands of years and their behavior barely resembles wolf behavior which, once again, does not involve strict alpha/beta hierarchies. the idea that they do is literally 70 years outdated.

The risk of thromboembolism for the average woman not on hormonal birth control is about 3-4/10,000.

My very first cartoon crush, Ren from Pirates of Dark Water. (a show that I'm sure most people have probably forgotten about)

The love of my pre-elementary school life.

OMG. I loved Robin Hood as a kid. He is so number one on my list. Glad you agree with me.

Marcia Wallace was just one of those remarkable character actors with a long and impressive career. Hats off to you, Ms. Wallace. Your noble spirit embiggens even the smallest man.
