#and we have a dog living with us

[carewyncromwell]

I’ll be finishing up my last two Back to School prompts tomorrow, since I’ve only just gotten to a place where I can actually sleep.

#long story short? #the A/C broke at my apartment two days ago while we're in the middle of this monster heat wave #and yet my apartment complex is dragging its heels in fixing it #even though we’ve reached highs of 102 degrees with humidity #and we have a dog living with us #who obviously can’t even do what my roommate and I did and take long cold showers and apply ice packs just trying to survive #I swear to God I got only 2 restless hours of sleep last night #only because by 2 AM it had cooled down to a “tolerable” 78 degrees outside #oh yeah and my time of the month started yesterday too #as if I couldn't be more miserable #ugh #personal

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

#writeblr #warm up #i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books #(just started book 4) #and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!! #(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. ) #anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild #but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild??? #so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning #and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go #anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct #i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers #i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page. #here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once #it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because #when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area. #i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that #a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN #who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends #i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

Has any of y’all have had to rehome a pet before ? :0

We have been rescuing so many cats and the shelters won’t take them :’T but I’m scared they’ll end up in bad homes too

#I mean we have 10 rn 👉👈 we love them a lot but it’s too many #and then two rescue dogs too #pix habla #it makes me sad but I’m sadder knowing they’re not living their best lives with us and we can’t afford anything better for them #idk #heck

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

whyyyyy are dog people so obsessed with their pet taking a shit...

#im. Confused. bc seriously why! what is it! #we have had this dog for One Full Day and the amount of times #that my stepdad has felt the need to regale me with her using the bathroom on a walk #is. well frankly its Insufferable and i Want It To Stop #like respectfully! affectionately! I Do Not Care! Hush! Cease! Good For Her! None Of My Business! #i am learning so quickly that im solidly a cat person #i do not enjoy having a Wet Beast! dogs are fine when they're not in my house! #me and my cats are like... living in my room now #i almost said Our room. well. that wouldnt be wrong at this point #absolutely unprompted #i can live with snakes i can live with lizards i can live with birds #but dogs? theyre just so much... too much... #sensory nightmares! big and loud and smelly and slobbery and their fur feels weird and theyre so Pushy- #i could handle it if it was a uh... a Sensible dog! #but this is a golden retriever mixed with a samoyed i believe! #that is not a sensible dog thats a 'i will force myself into your personal space' dog #sorry. sorry. im just not very happy with this development lmao #but its not my house not my decision and my stepdad needed an affectionate furry friend #he's happy! good! i can keep my mouth shut about my deep displeasure! #cats are so neat and clean and just sweet little packages of delight... i need to be in a room full of kittens STAT

Okay, here's the thing.

I'll be living alone. I think I'd like to have a dog in the house that is a little scarier than Sprocket is. There is a GSD breeder I have my eye on. She has 2 litters rn, tho, and I'm not sure if there are any pups that haven't been placed yet, but also I don't wanna raise a puppy right now. So......here I am, on petfinder, looking at shepherd looking creatures and cooing because I can't help myself.

#barkin up some trees #i keep saying no more rescues #but like #an adult dog is more appealing rn #oh and also rollei apparently came face to face with sissy the shop cat the other day and all he did was sniff her #so there is a possibility he could live in the house after all #but i don't trust him enough to keep him inside while i'm not home tho #i think he would trash things #so he would have to live outside whenever i'm at work #but idk we will see #i wish i had a dog neutral cat i could use to test him #puter is pretty dog neutral but mostly with dogs he knows and are chill and rollei is not chill

[alexturner2005]

i had to put my dog down today 💔💔💔💔💔💔 worst thing i have ever experienced

#he went downhill so fast in the last two days :((((( #couldn’t breathe couldn’t walk wouldn’t eat #he paced from 1pm-1am yesterday without laying down even tho he was so wobbly :((((( #and he was so bad today 😥 #he was the best dog he didn’t deserve lung cancer 💔 #sweetest cutest dog in the world and i have the credentials to say that as someone who worked at a pet store for six years #and met thousands of dogs #we got three and a half extra months with him after we initially were gonna put him down but he bounced back #and then we almost put him down two more times #he tried so hard for us 💔 #living this day four times (with this time being the worst obviously) has been so traumatic #i’m grateful for all the extra time we got but it didn’t make me any more prepared #miss him soooo much already no dog will ever compare 💔💔💔

[i-love-def-leppard]

just received heart shattered news and now have to pull myself together and go to work in an hour..

#my dog just got back from the vet and they told us she is expected to live about 6 months to a year before she passes #she has a disease that closes her airway #we won’t let her suffer so we will have to put her down at the first signs of her quality of life decreasing #ugh grief for your pet who hasn’t even passed yet but will soon is so weird #im beyond grateful to have her with me now but i can’t help but feel so heartbroken #she’s my baby😔💔 #and she is so healthy besides this stupid disease #ugh im so mad right now #apologies for my rant but this is one way i cope lol #let’s see if i can make it through my shift without breaking down #🙏🙏

My betrothed and I are oscillating so wildly between whether or not we’re going to be able to keep Wyvern. If we need to rehome him it’ll be because it’s the right move, and we’ll leave him better off in terms of manners to help him find the right place.

He is pushing me to move more, but having him four days a week might be too much for me. We still can’t bathe him and it’s unclear whether being able the bathe him will help with our allergies.

I think he’ll come around to the cats but right now all interactions are overseen with food assists to keep him from barking. He’s improved on potty training and there hasn’t been more accidents but since he can’t communicate his need to go out it’s just Constantly Going Out to prevent accidents.

#there’s been tears every single day #it would be so nice to have a little buddy #in a year if we can fit him into our lives it would be so nice to have him chilling with us or going on long walks #but right now it’s just constant monitoring and training and correcting #and most shelter dogs don’t have a proven track record with cats so I’d be even more terrified of trying to introduce a full sized dog #we’re both trying to hold back a little piece of our heart so that if we hit a breaking point it won’t devastate us #ramblies

jawbone & adaines (especially s1) are so fucking funny dude like imagine you as a 14 year old meet a drug dealer/bouncer at a club, he attacks you after being driven into a frenzy but apologizes after the fight is over and he's back in control and when he says he doesn't have insurance to deal with his issues you tip him off about the guidence counceler position at your school and he gets it and goes into it so hard he's the best therapist in town. then he shows up again when there's a dragon trying to destroy the world and talks you out of a both magically induced but natural for you panic attack and gives you drugs before helping you and your friends fight said dragon, and he later takes you in and legally adopts you, congrats on the new dad.

also he's a werewolf but not the full moon kind he's just permanently a dog man.

#found family more like found this stray dog and he's my dad now also he got together with my best friends mom and we all live together #in the most stable home environment most of us have ever had to boot #jawbone o'shaughnessey #dimension 20

[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

you know if we do accept the last epilogue-esque sequence as a sort of dream/wish of ted's and therefore not necessarily canon, very funny if we then simply go "yeah, trent's book is called 'the lasso way' actually. he didn't change that. nope."

#listen on one hand #i think that like #i don't think ted actually changed trent's mind about the title #i think trent changed it because ted asked him to #and like that's especially interesting bc he even made a point of being like #'tell me if you disagree with anything and i'll tell you why you're wrong' #but he respects ted; more than that he likes him and he wants him to like the book--like him #anyone else and trent would have told them to fuck off but ted? ted asking him to change the title? yeah #i think he didn't agree with 'it not being about him'--and not bc of any feelings he may have for ted--but if we accept that him changing #the title is canon then like. he did it because ted asked. nothing more nothing less #maybe he felt he owed it to ted as the subject of the book; maybe he just respected him too much not to #maybe it's partially bc of his feelings; maybe it's because he just couldn't say no to ted #but it's ultimately just. because ted asked him. #and trent respects him; trusts him; cares about him #and that's pretty heartwrenching #but like on the other hand if we say 'no that was ted's wishufl thinking trent definitely went 'sorry ted it's called the lasso way'' #also like.... him being like. like quietly not changing it and if ted said something him just. being like #ted. i respect you. i care about you. i trust you. but with all due respect absolutely not #yes it isn't ONLY about you but YOU made this happen. YOU are special and YOU have a place here whether you can stay forever or not #yes it's about the team and the coaches yes you aren't a one man band but ted. TED. you touched lives. you changed lives. and that was YOU. #that was you and your philosophy and your attitude. #you made richmond what it is today. yes the team deserve credit too for the kind of bond they have now but YOU facilitated that #none of the coaches currently here woudl be coaches if not for you. the diamond dogs wouldn't exist. literally every single one #of our friends--OUR friends--wouldn't be where they are and probably wouldn't be as happy #you got through to people over and over again who were hurting and lashing out. to rebecca. to roy. to jamie. to nate. to me. #and you can be humble but there's being humble and there's acting like you don't matter to any of us like you didn't have an impact #like you can just leave without a trace. we don't blame you for leaving--i especially don't--but acting like we won't miss you and like #your time with all of us--our time--meant nothing is more insulting than it is humble because we /love you/ #and yes. it was the goddamn lasso way that built this place #this community.

she was the silliest billy 🥹

#dogs #rip babygirl i love you so so so so much you were better than all of us #mia.txt #jojo #we had to remove all her front teeth not long after we got her bc they were rotted so i have a ton of pics of her sticking her tongue out #she had a sense of humor too btw she was so playful #she was abused in the past so it took her about a full year to trust us but once she did she was so so so loyal and loving #mia.jpg #goddd i wanna die i cant believe im like. looking at pictures from two weeks ago where she was running and playful #and in the past week she just. gave up. she just stopped eating and stopped being able to even stand on her own #i had to hold her while she used the bathroom cause she kept losing her balance :( #sorry if this is too gross and upsetting i just. feel like i need to reach out. to anyone #like she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease with no real chance of recovery several months ago so i should have like #prepared myself. but idk i guess i just had blinders on lol. the vet said his dog lived with it for 4 years before dying #idk. i guess i just thought she could survive longer

My rez got rid of these giant, metal garbage bins for the houses & replaced them with these shitty, small plastic ones they use in the city (which are easier for animals to get into) because Indian Affairs decided we're getting less garbage disposal funding for no reason, fuck you INAC

#our garbage bins dont come as often as city garbages so its just going to pile up #and/or youll have to use up gas to drive the garbage to the dump yourself #they didnt have to get rid of the metal ones we already had but. they did.😒 #we live in the bush you stupid bitches now the rez dogs & bears & coyotes & wolves & foxes & crows can get in there

HAPPY MANDO DAY!!!

#Being judged by my dog is just something i have to live with on a daily basis. #She should be used to my antics by now #We would totally save the galaxy tho. And we'd be great rulers of mandalore. #And id look awesome in a full suit of armour. #Also baby belle can in fact use jedi mind tricks to get what she wants. #The force works in mysterious ways. #This is the way

craig mazin, a screenwriter on HBO’s upcoming The Last of Us tv show, proclaiming that death in the games mean less because it’s just “watching pixels die”, is a part of an ongoing worrying trend of writers that devalue and demean the medium of videogames. those measly moving pixels you’re talking about launched an entire beloved franchise with a dedicated fanbase, and those pixels gave you a show to create and profit off of. the so known curse of the bad videogame adaptation is mainly due to its own people not giving a fuck about the games they’re taking source material from and holding live-action movies or shows as this supreme ultimate form of art, which is such an uncreative, boring, stale and rigid way of thinking when the whole point of adaptation is to explore all the ways you could expand and reshape a story, live-action or not, intelligently and with care

#if i was neil druckmann i wouldn’t have let that slide but that’s just me …. #these writers need to be taken down a notch and actually respect the stories they’re using #we shouldn’t even be having a tlou live action show in the first place like it’s literally so unnecessary. sure it’s cool #but the games itself already feel like interactive Movies no? #what’s the point then of ultra realistic graphics? #why did some intern have to miss christmas & the birth of their kid to animate joel’s beard hair bristling in the wind #the last of us #tlou #tlou 2 #tlou hbo #the last of us hbo #joel miller #ellie williams #videogames #naughty dog #hbo #the last of us 2

I started playing Warframe on my switch in April 2020 when I was stuck isolating in my bedroom for days and weeks at a time. Later, when I moved in with my sister, I started playing it on her PS4 for the better graphics, and got way further in the plot on the PS4 than I got on my switch...

Except that the PS4 version doesn't have gyro controller aiming. Idk why!!!! Allegedly the hardware is all there!!!!!! But switch is the only version of Warframe with gyro aiming, and without it my headshot accuracy TANKED.

I do not play Warframe as a multiplayer game. I frequently forget that it IS a multiplayer game. I use exclusively my bow and sneak around the levels headshotting all the enemies from stupidly far away and they can't find me because my bow is mechanically silent and I run the same spy missions over and over and over again because I like doing them and I like hacking consoles and finding all the different ways to sneak around. Warframe is also the ONLY game I have EVER played where I like the dang fishing minigame, but I will also go fish and mine all over the open world sections. It's great. I love it.

But it was killing me to not be able to make good headshots anymore!!! And I didn't want to replay half my progress and jump back to switch!!!!!!!!

Which is why I am extremely extremely fucking excited that they have as of the new year enabled account merging and cross platform save.

I merged my accounts and now i have all my progress and all my stuff on all the different consoles and if I want better graphics I can go play PS4 for a bit but in the meantime I am playing on switch again for the first time in years and I am headshotting all these grineer soldiers from halfway across the map!!!! let's go lets go!!!

#corpus maps tend to be more corridors and less longrange headshots lmao also I like hacking grineer consoles more #someday i will get all the parts to ivara and i will never use anything else!!!!! bows for life!!! #i gotta run higher level spy missions is what it is lol I like steamrolling the weak ones too much but i already have the chassis blueprint #also when the accounts merged they even let me keep both my dogs!!!!!!! I was so worried!!! lost my orbiter color settings but I'll live lo #lori chat #warframe #do i play warframe like it is supposed to be played? absolutely not. do i really enjoy it anyways? yes!!!!! #saw one cool as hell space shanty years ago and here we are hahaha
