SpongeBob SquarePants: Sigh Of Relief

What a week this has been. I really, REALLY need next week to not be so batshit insane, please.

Okay, so, good news for once. Sapphire seems to be 99% back to normal this morning. (And I might be over-thinking that 1%, watching her like a hawk.) Hopefully a good night of sleep helped her kick whatever it was.

Oh yeah, and a visit to urgent care. There's been so much other shit that I forgot about going to /urgent care/.

These are so delightful! ;; I love how bright and whimsical they are.

My week/end has already included: a work shirt zipper disintegrating while on the job (embarrassing), my work vacuum breaking down, misreading my schedule and not realizing I had to work 6 days in a row (also embarrassing), 100+ degree temps every day, and now this.

My only vet option would be a drop-off, so she'd be there likely several hours -- and she's extremely skittish, so I hate to think how scared she would be. But if I have to, I have to.

Everyone cross your fingers that my little black gremlin, Sapphire, keeps improving by tomorrow morning (she was drooling/lethargic today) so I don't have to mix a vet visit into this week from actual hell.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

When the TV show comes out, if I see anyone talk about watching it, I'm just gonna block and move on without a second thought. I don't care if we're mutuals.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Without the online friends I’ve made over the years, some of whom have become offline friends (even recently!), I would be a much, much lonelier person. Social media feels evil sometimes, but it makes some miracles too.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Does anyone have any recs for podcasts? I'd love a nature-related podcast to sink my teeth into, or a fictional one. I need to be able to listen to it out loud at work, so it can't be TOO crazy.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

My good little patient finally had her vet appointment. She's doing well but will need a dental cleaning in a few months. Now she's back home and hiding, poor girl. 😭

Nevermind, the vet office just called and postponed to tomorrow. It's for a completely reasonable issue, and I'm not annoyed at all, but my mind is still like...

One of my cats, Millie, has to go to the vet today and my mind has been spinning in doomer circles for days. Even though, reasonably, the worst thing we could face is a giant bill. But minds, you know. Or mine, at least. Spinning, spinning, spinning. I'll be glad when this is over and we know more.
