5 Clear Reasons Pastors Must Preach on Domestic Violence

Dogs are known for being particularly playful creatures, but they are certainly not the only ones! Creatures of all kinds love to have play time — and often in some of the most unexpected, and adorable, ways. Debbie Schluterman proves this through the amazing content she posts on her TikTok page. Here, you’ll find all sorts of fun videos showcasing her donkey named… well, Donkey. And yes, he is named after the beloved character in Shrek. At 9-years-old, it seems that there is little that Donkey loves more than getting a new toy. Many get donated to him, and Debbie records his reaction to playing with them for the first time. “But what kind of toys do donkeys like,” you might be wondering. Well, for this particular guy, the answer is frequently… a squeaky rubber chicken toy! @debbieschluterman Thanks so much @Bryan he really loves the peg leg pirate chicken you got from @Gotrubberchickens.com! I appreciate you sending it to him!! #donkey #happy #petsoftiktok #joy #squeakytoy #animalsfunny #pettricks #crazyanimals ♬ original sound – Inthemorningimmakingwaffles Although Donkey is a fan of these toys in general, he especially loves the one in the video above. As soon as he hears it, he wags his tail, eager to get ahold of his new toy. Once he’s able to find a comfy spot to sit, he goes to town! As the toy squeaks away, Donkey joins in with his own silly noises. Just when you think he’s had enough, he simply keeps going! “You’re making me dizzy, Donkey,” Debbie says. Donkey’s Pure Joy Over New Squeaky Chicken Toy is Contagious Then, as if he understands her, Donkey takes a break. As soon as he does, he gets closer to Debbie so she can pet him. It’s almost like he’s taking the time to thank her for giving him such a fantastic toy! “This donkey is happier than I’ve EVER been,” someone admits in the comments, “and I’m always happy.” “That’s the happiness I wanna feel,” another person shares. “I’m coming back as a donkey!!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. After a recent censorship effort by German authorities, yet another government has demanded that free speech platform and Big Tech alternative Gab censor content that the government disapproves of. And once again, the platform is refusing to comply. This time, the demand concerns the removal of content about one of the recent Sydney stabbings – and is part of Australia’s wider censorship drive targeting multiple social sites. And, it comes coupled with a threat of a huge fine. Gab CEO Andrew Torba said in a blog post that the notice asked that a video showing the stabbing in the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church be removed. It was sent by Australia’s at this point notorious, free speech suppression-wise, eSafety Commissioner, stating that “all reasonable steps” are required to be taken by platforms to “safeguard Australians at risk from online harms.” But Gab doesn’t appear to consider censorship a “reasonable” step. And so the video – that documents the violent act, and is, Torba said, followed by “a heartfelt message” from the victim who survived the attack, Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel – remained online. According to Torba, the reason is that despite its disturbing nature, it “serves a vital purpose in informing the public about the reality of this horrific incident,” while the bishop’s message provided the public with some context. All this, the Gab CEO believes, means that the video is both newsworthy and in the public interest. As such, he qualified the removal notice and the threat of a fine equivalent to some half a million US dollars, “a clear violation of our users’ freedom of speech,” that he said his platform would not commit. Torba said that instead, Gab would remain committed to free speech and leave the video on the platform, at the same time urging users to express support to the bishop (who, in the wake of his wounding, voiced strong criticism of the censorship of content covering the crime) and to his Church. The Australian eSafety Commissioner’s fine threat is a warning that civil penalty proceedings will be launched unless the video is removed; it isn’t clear what the mechanics of realizing the threat might be, given that Gab is a US-based entity.

Did you know there's more than one way to press flowers? If you have a flower garden and would love to see your beauties all the time, why not preserve them by pressing? I've listed three ways to press flowers perfectly, and I can't wait for you to try all of them! Know-How To Press Flowers For Your Arts And Crafts From decorating your scrapbook to designing wedding invitations, pressed flowers are the way to add an extra special touch to any DIY project. But were you still waiting weeks for your flowers to dry out in an old book? Our three easy tutorials will “leaf” you inspired to create! So now, let's get ready perfectly press some petals! Tips To Press Flowers Effectively Choose naturally flat flowers, like daisies, pansies, violas, and miniature daffodils. Choose perfect flowers with no holes or discoloration – we only want the best! Pressed flowers are extremely fragile. Handle with care! Use makeup oil blotting paper to help soak up moisture and insert a sheet on top of your flowers before you press to get the best results. Let your flowers have their space! When laying out flowers, make sure they are not overlapping each other in the press, or else you will get one glob of petals. Now Let's Get Started! Want to craft something cute in a flash? This flower pressing method is the method for you! In only minutes, you have some beautiful pressed flowers that are craft ready when you are! Supplies needed: Iron Ironing board Paper sheets fresh flowers and leaves   Step 1: Lay a sheet of paper down on your ironing board. Place flowers on top and cover with another sheet of paper. Lay heavy hardcover book on top. Try not to slide the book as this may damage the flowers. Instead, push down on the book and wait for 2-3-minutes. Step 2: Remove the book, but keep flowers on the paper. Take out iron and remove any water if it's a steamer kind. Set the iron to the lowest heat setting (or dry, if your iron has it). Gone are the old days of waiting days for pressed flowers to dry. Irons turn fresh flowers into pressed flowers within minutes! Place iron down on paper and press. Hold for 10 seconds, remove, and repeat this process across the sheet. Do NOT drag across like you do on clothing. This will damage both your flowers and your paper. Instead, remove flowers slowly to prevent tearing and set them aside on another clean sheet of paper. And that's it! Pressing Flowers With A Flower Press Have some more time to invest in creating perfectly flat flowers? Try a flower press – easy to make and use. Flowers are ready to be used after 24 hours in the press. Supplies: 2 7” x 7” wood squares Scrap cardboard Four screws, washers, wing nuts Sheets of paper or blotting paper Fresh flowers and leaves Power drill 5/32” drill bits Step 1: image via instructables First, cut or purchase two identical pieces of wood, and measure about 1” in from the edge of your wood corners with a pencil. Step 2: image via instructables Drill over your pencil marks through both boards at about 1″ in from the corner on all four sides. Place washers on the bolts and slide the bolts up through the bottoms of both squares. Make sure to add wingnuts on top to tighten and loosen your press easily. Step 3: image via gardenista Take some scrap cardboard that is roughly the same size as your press. Trim off corners of cardboard, so they do not interfere with the bolts of your flower press.   Step 4: image via fine gardening Take your flowers and lay them out how you like on plain paper. Next, insert your flowers between your cardboard sheets and use the wingnuts to tighten and press. After 24 hours, you will have perfectly pressed flowers! image via country living   Pressed Flowers With Wax Paper This next method of pressing flowers is perfect for lightweight flowers. Once completed, you will have a translucent flower sheet that adds rustic dimension to any craft project. Supplies: Iron Ironing board Wax paper sheets Paper towels Small fresh flowers and leaves (small daisies or orchids)   Step 1: image via homeheartcraft The steps for this process are similar to pressing flowers with an iron. Just replace the paper with two sheets of wax paper sandwiching your flowers. Step 2: image via homeheartcraft Take some paper towels and lay them on top of your wax paper, then press down with your iron for 10 seconds at a time. You will have a sealed translucent sheet filled with flowers in only a few minutes! image via homeheartcraft   Did you know you can also press flowers in a microwave?
