whenever i see someone looking at their phone and smiling i can only imagine they are, at that very moment, unfollowing me

I’m not sure why I’m getting such a kick out of this, but on my walk this morning, my foot slid on something laying on the sidewalk. Looking down, angry and expecting to see a pile of dog crap, I found, much to my delight, that for the first time in my life, I’d actually slipped on a banana peel.

I know the feeling. I’m so sorry.

She was, and is still, so immensely loved. ❤️❤️❤️

Jezenel the heeler pittie chowchow mix dog sitting and staring at me very intently. Shes a blue ticked/gray spotted dog with a black mask over her left eye and black ears. She's sitting with her rear legs at a weird angle and she's definitely trying to send psychic brain waves to make me drop some egg for her.

made the mistake of giving jezebel a little tiny piece of egg white the other day and now this is the look i get any time i eat an egg

Rats taught to drive tiny cars to lower their stress levels Researchers taught rats to drive tiny "ratmobiles" in exchange for food, which helped the rats relax.

I’m so sorry.

I missed this. I’m so sorry, my friend.

Somebody on ao3 made a super detailed guide to how the NHL works specifically for people writing heated rivalry fic, gosh I love the internet (sometimes)

I’m so so so glad that you found things that worked for him and your family!

I’m thrilled to relay it!!

As a “failure to thrive” kiddo, this fact made me feel the need to sit down immediately and cry and I was already sitting down AND crying.

FOLKS. FOLKS. I forgot to tell you too that between our (admittedly quite long) gap between nutritionist appointments, Pens gained nearly 10 POUNDS. TEN. A ONE AND A ZERO FOLLOWING IT.

Like, I don’t know, folks! I don’t know if she’ll have it throughout her life! We’re on her schedule with this! But it felt GREAT to make a step forward with maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe weaning off the pump someday

I CRIED tears of absolute joy/disbelief that we were in a place where we could cut out a feeding for her; there’s been SO MUCH pressure over the years by well-meaning people who ask “when’s she getting off the pump??” and it always makes me feel bad when we’re stuck, for years, doing the same thing

But I DON’T know of any programs besides special education; would you mind talking to me about them?

Yeah, I figure she’ll be in a special education or “blended” classroom, I doubt very much that she’ll be in a classroom setting other than those

I do have good Pens news though! We’re gonna try 2 pump feeds a day instead of 3, because she’s eating so well and we think she can make up the calorie deficit from taking out a feeding, and in hopes that it’ll get her hungrier throughout the day!!!!!!! We’re also gonna try a dairy formula!!!!!!!

What if I’m not ready?

What if she’s bullied? What if she hates it? What if *I* hate it? What if she doesn’t make lasting friends? What if she does poorly? Do we try to afford tutoring? What if her teachers and peers don’t understand her? What if it’s too much pressure for her? What if she’s not ready?
