Relief Plaque Depicting the God Horus as a Falcon from the Late Period or Ptolemaic Period of Ancient Egypt (about 664–30 BCE)
Horus, shown as a falcon or a falcon-headed man, was one of the most important gods of the Egyptian pantheon. First appearing about 3000 BCE, Horus continued to be revered through the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Each Egyptian king was considered to be the “Living Horus on Earth.” The king would often wear a double crown, which symbolised rule over both Northern and Southern Egypt. Here Horus is shown wearing such a crown, confirming the king’s shared identity with the god. Behind Horus is the disc of the sun, protected by a uraeus, a snake symbolising royalty, from which hangs an ankh, the sign for life.
Disclaimer: The following is a list of breeds and the heart diseases they can commonly get. I am NOT saying only this breed gets this disease, nor am I saying that every dog of this breed will get this disease. This is simply a short list of the common doggies one thinks of when examining a particular heart disease. So without further ado:
-> Doberman Pinscher: Dobies are prone to Dilated Cardiomyopathy, or DCM. This is a disease where the heart becomes enlarged and dilated, and is unable to contract and therefore pump blood properly. This commonly results in congestive heart failure.
-> Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: Oh my cute little spaniels… I don’t think I’ve met one yet without a heart murmur. These get Mitral Valve Degeneration (also known as Endocardiosis). This is a relatively common change in the valves where they become knobby and unable to close correctly. This allows moderate to insane amounts of blood to spill back into the atrium (called regurgitation), which is the main reason you hear a murmur, and of course causes the heart to work harder.
-> Boxers: Nothing says poster child like having a disease named after you. Boxer Cardiomyopathy, or Boxer arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), if you want to get fancy. This is the disease of the heart’s muscle (myocardium), that results in some serious and sometimes fatal arrhythmias.
-> Miniature Schnauzer:Sick Sinus Syndrome, or AKA the heart auscultation that might just stop your own heart! I’ve recently heard one of these and just about fell over! This is a disease where the sinus node, a very crucial part of the heart that sends electrical pulses to help with heart rate and contraction, doesn’t work too well, resulting in a slow heart rate or even pauses in between beats.
Check out the ECG below. See the FLATLINE? The heart shouldn’t stop beating for that long!! No wonder these dogs often present for sudden collapse!
Its so easy to brush away aphobia as “Cringey aces being dramatic on the internet on no reason lololol “ when you see “true” oppression as “people being killed for their identity” and not the numerous ways society makes marginalized community feel that they are broken,wrong and are disgusting for existing and dont belong among the society.This includes harassment on the internet too because the people harassing ace people for being ace on the internet are real people too.
Genocide is the last stage of oppression for an identity and the fact that you think that bigotry against some identity has to reach the stage where the people of that identity are being killed for them to be “truly oppressed” then you are a despicable person and have no idea how resistance and social justice work.
