I think that someone gets branded a racist because a photo emerges of them posing with a flag sums up just how toxic much of social media has become.

Standing with an Irish flag? Yes.

Standing with a Confederate flag? Probs not.

A flag that most didn't find offensive until quite recently when we were "educated" to believe it was.
Thinking about the "Dukes of Hazzard" for example.

I am not exactly thinking "flag" with that series
But i get your point.

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

Dog 'dies of a broken heart' after being abandoned at airport by her owner

A dog has reportedly died after spending a month at an airport awaiting its owner's return.
The dog, which was named 'Nube Viajera' or 'Wandering Cloud' by vets who treated her, is believed to have been dumped at the airport her owner.
She spent a month mingling with passengers and sniffing them, presumably looking for her owner, before she gave up and lay in a corner of the terminal at Palonegro airport in Columbia.

The young dog was offered food by passengers and staff at the airport but refused to eat and her condition deteriorated.

The dog retreated to a corner of the terminal after she gave up looking for her owner. PIC: CEN
The Mirror reported that the dog was treated by vets at a shelter after somebody alerted an animal rescue charity, but she was already unable to stand.

She received food and treatment intravenously but continued to deteriorate and vets said her cause of death was depression.
