Why? – Because tumblr.The ‘Transformers’ tag is vague, search tends to pick up anything that has the word ‘transform’ in it, also the tag gets flooded with actor photos when the bayverse movies are released. Maccadam’s is the name for the popular Oilhouse that’s either shown or mentioned across the franchise. It’s a great gathering spot for Mechs across the multiverse, and their fans. If you post transformers, it’ll definitely get seen by fans if it’s in this tag.
The tag got shortened to Maccadam because the apostrophe is annoying and doesn’t always parse well on tumblr.
This is really helpful, because I can never remember if it’s 2 Cs or 2 Ds!

reblogging for the drunk Prime picture in the upper left hand corner
Hey guys, in case you didn’t notice by the giant insurgence of skeletons on your dash, it’s OCTOBERnow. Which, of course, means we’re on the first day of the beloved month of Halloween. (This is a pro-spoopy blog, but I promise, I’ll never use that word again). And with Halloween comes costumes and with costumes comes the idea of putting our dogs in silly outfits.
Do you want to put your pet in a costume for Halloween? Great. Guess what? It’s time to start now!
Here’s the thing. Most dogs are not a fan of clothes from the get-go. There are outliers who love to be dolled up (although often that’s thought to be because they’re tight, like thundershirts) but most dogs end up being either purposefully or accidentally conditioned to wear their outfits. You know the dogs that looks miserable in their costumes or try to run from them or just tear them to shreds? Those are the pets who got stuffed into it for the first time for the party.
So here’s what you do: you buy a costume now, and you start training your dog that it’s the best thing in the world. Reward them for sniffing it or touching it or laying on it – leave it out for a while so they get used to it. And then start small – maybe put a boot on their foot (assuming they let you handle their feet – if your dog has issues with handling a body part, don’t put something on it). Reward them for tolerating it, and then take it off. Play that game a couple times a day with them in tiny increments. If you’ve got something that goes over their body, lift it up and encourage them to sniff it – then lure their head through the opening with a treat, and then take it off. Once you get it so they’re eagerly sticking their head through the neck for food, you can let it rest on them for a little bit. Same goes for securing it with velcro or snaps. Make sure you take it off of them again BEFORE the association gets negative! You want costume time to be the most exciting party they get to have. Once they’ll wear it, start with a small duration and then build up time they’re wearing it as you get closer to Halloween!
This way, your dog won’t be miserable on Halloween in his costume! If he’ll be at parties, think about other aspects like how to keep him out of food or keep his costume from getting stuck on stuff. If he goes trick-or-treating, make sure you can put his harness or leash on around the costume and that the costume doesn’t interefere with the gear. Get him used to walking around on it before the night!
Have a safe and happy Halloween Month, everyone!
It’s that time again! Bringing this back.
It’s really important to consider if taking your pet somewhere on Halloween is appropriate, because this is a holiday that can be really stressful for them. Costumes on people can be really scary for dogs, and temperature considerations are relevant to all animals but especially small mammals and reptiles. Most of the food floating around on Halloween has the potential to make pets really sick, and if you’re partying or managing small children you may not have enough attention left to keep your pet safe.
What about pets and trick-or-treating? It’s also never a good idea to take dogs trick-or-treating because you don’t know the temperament of the animals living in the houses you approach – and more animals are likely to respond badly to another dog right on their doorstep on an already overwhelming night. If you’re putting out candy at your house, keep your dog or cat confined in one room for the duration (or at least gate off the entryway to your house). The last thing you want is a escaped pet, or your pet or a child getting injured by a bad reaction. If your dog is reactive to doorbells, consider providing a white noise machine or just taking them to the house of someone not taking trick-or-treaters for the night.
And last, always, always supervise your pet the entire time it is wearing a costume to prevent them getting hurt. If they get stuck due to a costume they can’t get out of, there’s a risk they’ll panic and hurt themselves in the process. As soon as your pet appears to no longer want to wear the costume, just take it off of them.
Your hair gets thin and limp. Noticeably. You don’t have enough nutrients to help it stay healthy.
You get so. Fucking. Cold. All the time. People don’t want to touch you, because you’re so cold. You’ll be shivering under a blanket, in a hot tub, by a fire, wherever you are.
You’ve heard that seeing food will be upsetting? You have no idea. Even if it’s nowhere near you, or on a screen, or in the hands of a stranger, you’ll resent it because you want it. Some nights you’ll start crying because you miss it so much.
Everything will become numbers. You aren’t just walking your dog anymore, you’re counting the minutes and calories you’re burning. You aren’t enjoying a warm day, you’re trying to figure out if the higher temperatures are making your heart rate go up so you burn faster.
Your social life will die. You’ll be skittish and avoid people when they have food in case they offer some. You’ll say no to parties and dates and meet-ups because you think there might be food. You’ll grow paranoid, terrified of people finding out. You’ll start to despise people who love you solely because they want to help.
You’ll hurt. That pang in your chest? It’s probably because you’re not eating. Your stomach? Say goodbye to its silence. Your butt? It’ll hurt whenever you sit down. You’ll get headaches, heart pains, even breathing will eventually become exhausting.
And eventually, you’ll die. Maybe you ate more than usual and couldn’t handle the thought of gaining, and exercised so much that your heart overexerted itself. Maybe you actually did gain, and that enough was enough to make you swallow a handful of pills. Maybe your blood pressure lowered to fatal levels, or maybe you passed out and hit your head on a table.
It all ends the same.
Don’t let the “pro ana’s” fool you, this isn’t a glamorous lifestyle. This is a deadly and painful illness.
I feel like a lot of people need to remember that before they skip their meals.
Don’t do this to yourselves, you gorgeous humans. You deserve to live. You deserve friends. You deserve love.
You deserve to eat.
it’s very important
So please please eat. It isn’t worth it, I swear. So what if you want to lose weight? that isn’t bad. The problem is starving yourself. eat a healthy balanced meal and exercise well, but don’t hurt yourself this way. You are gorgeous the way you are. Don’t be afraid to ask for help baby.
This is such an issue these days. Especially when you see others starving themselves on social media and those people on social media only show the fat they are losing, and the calories they are burning, while they hide those things like hair loss and the immense pain they are going through. Please, don’t starve yourself, if you really want to lose weight, then there are super healthy ways to do it instead.
By starving yourself and showing others the results only and not the painful process will encourage others to do it as well, and those people will feel that something’s wrong with them once they realize how painful it truly is. And they’ll blame their selves and there bodies even more and never feel good enough. And in this way the cycle of self-hate never ends.
Just remember in general that you are loved, and if you don’t feel it coming from the people around you, then remember:
You’re probably gonna want to look this up somewhere, but I have a couple ideas. Please look up actual remedies. Maybe call someone who does hair? People who do hair usually know what to do with it to fix problems in it.
First, shave your head. That’s gonna be the most effective thing, the lice cling to hair and won’t be there any more if there’s no hair.
If you don’t want to shave your head, you can suffocate them with anything oily. Coconut oil would probably do the trick if you coated your hair in it. Get it everywhere, make sure it’s all against your scalp really thickly, let it sit for half an hour or so, then rinse it out in the shower and scrub, scrub, scrub. That won’t get rid of the eggs, but it’ll kill the adults, so if you do that enough times it should help.

It might
have been better if it was a proper haunting, with a proper spirit or ghost.
Not just this… harassment by a
previous coworker.
Not that
Starscream believed in ghosts, of course. There was no scientific evidence that
ghosts existed. Once a spark ceased to function, there was nothing left to hang
around, bothering those who still lived.
But this…
Starscream
glared around the lab again. He’d started feeling someone watching him months
ago, staring at him while he worked. When he looked up, there was no one there,
of course. He was alone, and had been alone ever since escaping from the Predacons.
But he
couldn’t shake the feeling of someone’s optics on him. And it wasn’t long
before he worked out whose optics they were.
