i don't know why youtube recommended this to me, but i approve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOxWVubWkfU "Furret on an Escalator for Another Few Hours"
omg i think the amphibians in the backyard are going to bully me into learning herpetology thru sheer numbers
one big lad has made his hidey hole home right by the door, and i saw him this morning
and just now when taking the dog out, i saw TWO MORE toads just hoppin' across the porch with no care in the world
idk if the big lad is the same as this morning, but i did catch him and asked if he would like his portrait taken and he gave me SEVERE STINK EYE before wriggling and hopping away
@abby it's true for most people - you might want to get a tetanus booster if you step on any rusty nails of course. if you're worried, ask your doctor if they can do blood titers ( https://www.healthline.com/health/antibody-titer ). (if you need a way to trick insurance into paying for it - this is standard protocol for people with uteruses when they declare an intent to get pregnant, bc things like rubella are very nasty to pregnancies. if you've got a uterus you can always immediately "change your mind about kids"lol)
my working dog is very good at her job that she has trained for: pre-wash for the dishwasher #hollypls #dogsofmastodon
i rose to a new level of salt, there
not only did i look at my contacts to blacklist that whm, i actually passed along the name to my guildmates to do the same lol
this is the fuckin fanciest ice cream cup i've ever eaten
definitely saving the container, it's really nice sturdy plastic. should be able to drill a drainage hole in it no problem
or maybe i'll figure out some low-light houseplant that wants like pebbles/sand to drain into? that way i can show off pretty stratified layers
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz ah i've been there often lol
for the next massage, you can really reduce the sore by just chugging water and hydrating like a motherfucker right after the massage - the sore is all that lactic acid that muscles are finally giving up after they relax and then making it all ouchy, but more water helps wash that shit outta there
i try my best to remember that after the massage therapy i get and it's annoying to become a piss elemental but better than sore lol
incidentally the questline opening up ninja is a bit funny after you've done stormblood
"we come from a faraway land, called doma -"
"oh yeah! i've been there!"
"what"
"came, liberated, fought a primal, y'know, all in the day's work around here. lovely place"
"wh... but...."
"you ever thought of helping the reconstruction? they're getting it looking great these days!"
i had forgotten that the ninja storyline in #ffxiv (30 to 50 at least) is just "this is what happens when the goth kid starts hanging out with the theater kids, and it all goes wrong"
i discovered what lives in the hole by the backyard door today!
or rather my dog did
bc it's a big ol' toad
i'm glad my dog does not like to chomp toads. she just wants to boop them with her nose. toads do not appreciate this lol, but she thinks the fun game is "find frog/toad, poke frog/toad, it jumps!!!!!, go find frog/toad again"
