Here I am to piss in everyone's Cheerios again.

It is so dangerous for dogs to ride in the back of a pickup truck.

Sososososo dangerous.

I've been doing emergency veterinary work for almost a decade and I have seen dozens of dogs with injuries from this very thing. Dogs who get tossed from the back of a truck in an accident, or when an owner needs to swerve or brake quickly to avoid an accident. Dogs who randomly decide to leap out of the truck. "But he's never done that before!" Well, he did that today.

Injuries have ranged from full body road rash to spinal fractures and a dog who broke a rib that punctured his lung, requiring emergency surgery and weeks of hospitalization. Oh my god, so many broken legs. Some we could fix, some we couldn't and they lost the limb. And there were more than a few head traumas that resulted in death.

Yes, doggie goggles are cute, but this situation is not. Don't put dogs in the back of your truck. Not if you claim to love them. Not if you want them to make it to your destination in one piece. I don't care how much they like it back there, and I don't care how good a driver you think you are. It doesn't matter.

It's not fucking worth it.

Hi my name is Hawke and I have short ebony black hair and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Flemeth (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!“) I’m not related to Cullen but I wish I was because he’s such a major fucking nerd. I’m a dragon and I live in Kirkwall where I’m the Champion (I’m 26.) I’m a badass (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly leather. There was no sun today. Templars stared at me. I put my middle finger up at them.

This joke never gets old.

A couple weeks ago, my wife spotted a roadkill squirrel in our neighborhood. Her initial reaction was fox squirrel – but then she doubled back and said ground squirrel, because fox squirrels, simply put, aren’t found where we live.

I went to retrieve it and – surprise! – it was indeed a fox squirrel (Sciurus niger), the first I’ve ever seen in our region of the Upper Peninsula! He was pretty banged up, his head crushed and his intestines and testes spilled out of his body. Nevertheless, I skinned him out and froze the pelt, because I knew that this find was of scientific importance.

I contacted the university downstate and, as it turns out, there are zero records of fox squirrels in the Upper Peninsula! I’ve arranged to overnight the frozen pelt, and I’ll be writing a short paper about this cool discovery.

Poor duder. But yay for science!

Pride Poster Series

Gay, Bi, Pan, Ace, Aro, and Trans information posters. Feel free to print and use anywhere, but keep the URL caption at the bottom of the page.

They were initially designed for an all girls high school (ages 12-18) so they are directed towards AFAB teenagers, but they can be used for anyone.

I don’t feel like they got the bi/pan definitions right. I don’t want to have sex with *any* person. That makes it sound like I’m just walking around with a lady boner for everyone.

Bleh.

So I found this caterpillar on my way to class

We’re bros

I named him chicken nugget

Aaaa he’s turning a duller color… I hope he’s alright

So apparently chicken nugget is a spicebush swallowtail and they turn yellow before they pupate. He was making little silk things everywhere Bruh this caterpie is going to evolve to metapod today my boy isn’t messing around

update hes entirely yellow now

i made him a tube room

hes crawlin all over the place checking it out

its happening

False alarm he moved a bit This guy

??? caterpie doesnt evolve into kakuna

whats he doing

its happening part 2 For Real This Time

chicken nugget using those advanced tactics balancing my man doesnt do anything halfway

i put on some tunez for him so he can get into the metamorphazone

sorry for keeping you all in suspense but chicken nugget is doing fine and he has a cool hat now

hes been chillin like this for a couple days 

hes been in cocoon for 10 days now 🎉🐛🎉

let me know how he’s doing soon

HES BUSTIN OUT

im going to sleep, chicken nugget is snoozin and ill check up on him as soon as i wake up

hope he doesnt party too hard 

🐛 💤 💤

CHICKEN NUGGET IS A CHICKEN WING NOW BABY WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!!!!

This is so cool!

Small side note: butterflies create a chrysalis, not a cocoon. Cocoons are spun, whereas a chrysalis is actually made from the caterpillar's hardened skin. Moths, on the other hand, spin cocoons. Science!

Ok who’s joining in Drunk Writing Circle tonight??? @redinkofshame @lepetitchounerd @fairymelt @heteroflexiblemermaid @galadrieljones

So I got a notification this morning that you tagged me in this. Did you untag me when you remembered I’m knocked up? 😂

yeaahhh…. BUT you can be there in spirit! and send us prompts.

And do “type while the toddler tries to do everything, and simultaneously prevent them from doing things”

YOU’RE PREGNANT????

@justanotherlyriumlovesong (I can’t tag you???)

@lepetitchounerd Yup! 10 weeks tomorrow. And no, I didn’t block you!! (Why would I do that??) Sometimes people just can’t tag me. It’s a thing. I have no idea why. :/ And that’s why my AO3 updates have been slow and I’ve been quieter on here. My energy is in the toilet. Along with my breakfast, a lot of mornings. Oh, the glamour of motherhood.
