THIS. When my dog started to develop dementia, we learned that most of the time he was okay with other dogs, but sometimes he wasn’t. So in order to never ever be faced with the ‘your dog bit mine and now you need to put him down’ situation, I haven’t let my dog meet another dog in nine years. And because he’s small,…

Ha ha okay! So here is the site I originally found out about it on, and I can’t find the unboxing video, but here is a video of someone petting their pet jumping spider. It all made me want pet jumping spiders, but I keep pet shrimp, and at the time I found this out I’d just had a massive and depressing shrimp die-off…

Those dachshund/lion videos always make me so nervous. Like, clearly they get along, but at some point in the past, the owner of the dachshunds decided they were going to send their snack-size dogs into a lion’s enclosure to see how it was gonna go. I have an elderly dog that’s totally cool with people/dogs 80% of the…

I need that shirt.

I recently discovered that there’s a whole community of people who keep jumping spiders as pets and it’s adorable. I watched a video of a woman unboxing some new baby jumping spiders she’d just gotten and she was so excited.

I have a friend who’s 24 and looks about 14. She says that everybody always tells her she’s lucky to look so young, but she hates it because whenever she meets a guy, she sort of questions whether he’s attracted to her in spite of her looking like a child or if it’s because she looks like a child, and part of her…

When talking to grad students, don’t ask them how their thesis/dissertation is coming along, when they think they’ll be finished/graduate, or what they’re going to do when they finish. Definitely don’t ask if they’ve been to any conferences or gotten any papers published lately either.

Also this!

Gah, how did I forget about those guys?! I’m going to need more fabric...

In tangentially-related news, last night I printed out the iron-on decals for my custom headbags for my BOB and I am SO EXCITED. I have Trump, Sessions, Ryan, Cruz, and Robert Fisher. Aside from Pence, who am I missing?

I was originally thinking Lord Snapcase, but then I remembered how Winder was with Findthee Swing and the Unmentionables, and it definitely seemed like something Trump would be into. Plus, there’s this picture.

I can’t think of a single ruler in Discworld that approaches Trump’s level of.....Trumpiness. Maybe Homicidal Lord Winder. Save us, Havelock!

Sometimes I close my eyes and fantasize about the eventual treason trials. I can see it so clearly in my mind - Trump and his whole family (except Tiffany and Barron probably) in the dock in one of those clear bulletproof plastic boxes, he has his hands clasped in front of him with that stupid look on his face he gets…

There’s a whole movement....hang on, let me see if I can remember the name...AHA! - it’s the Free State Project. IIRC, it’s a bunch of Libertarians from Massachusetts who plan to move to NH (and sometimes do). I’m not saying my fellow NHites are always all that great, but I will say that this movement has been met…

You say that like there’s more than one city.

Having lived both places, I can say that once you get outside Burlington, Vermont can be just as bad as NH. Never forget.

THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! I read this one article about how I should check my breasts for lumps and I just assumed that other people would appreciate having me check their breasts for lumps too, and now I’m in jail.

Nothing in this article mentions massaging other people’s dogs....? And only four of the states in that link specifically disallow it if you’re not a vet, while sixteen states/territories allow it with no vet intervention and twenty-three allow it with vet supervision/referral. And that’s for if you want to do this as…

I’d pay $20 for an easy mode where people like me who are bad at combat can just walk at enemies mashing the button until the enemy dies, preferably without managing to land a hit on me.

Same thing for me with those little tubs of gel eyeliner. No matter how carefully I take care of it, it’s going to get dried out and cakey LONG before I run out of it, and since I use it on my eyes, I give mine the same deadline of 3 months as I do my mascara, and it pisses me off how much of it I always end up…
