The instrumentalization of the tragedy of all those imprisoned and murdered in the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz for political messaging is a profound moral failure. Auschwitz is not a prop. @KyleLangfordCA, your post is an affront to the dignity of the victims and a disturbing display of insensitivity and disregard to horryfying human history.

Making the "pspspspsps" noise around wild animals is not recommended. You might think you’re an animal whisperer, but you’ve just insulted their mother and are now surrounded by a horde of angry squirrels.”

Thank you July Santa! The Peppa Pig book with George's new dinosaur brought a huge smile to my face. Look at how happy he is with him! #giftmasinjuly

Thank you July Santa for Sidney's box of treats (and for thinking about her). Girl knew what was in the bag because she kept whining and looking at it. 🤣 I also need to change her bedding. #giftmasinjuly
