I mostly reblog or post fic recs. But expect to see a bit of everything. For a full listing of the fic recs head over to my pinboard page linked above. Feel free to ask me anything. I'm a bit shit at replying promptly, but I will in time.

I have friends a quarter of my age, if that counts?

[copperbadge]

If I was friends with someone 184 years old I would never shut up about it. They would be "my friend who is 184 years old..." every time I opened my mouth at least until next year when they would become my friend who is 185 years old.

I just finished reading Tevinter Nights and it's a shame how a lot of low income folks like me can't have access to it or any of the other Dragon Age novels or the cookbook or the two editions of world of Thedas *sigh* I did put a photo of my cat right here though if you want to see how beautiful he is, please ignore the loose pdf files in the folder!

Also you can reblog this so more people can see the picture of my cat. And since there's nothing in this post relating to Dragon Age please don't tag it with anything related to Dragon Age because there's nothing related to Dragon Age in the folder I'm just putting it on a blog that is dedicated to Dragon Age because I love my cat

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

nimble, a border collie-papillon mix, wins the 12” class in the 2024 masters agility championship. the first time a mixed breed has won at westminster ever.

context explaining why the announcer is screaming, this is supposed to take a high level competitive agility dog 40 seconds

[sandersstudies]

This video makes me cry every time it’s on my dash and I can’t even iterate why.

Like the dog doesn’t even know it’s a competition and she’s made history. She(?) just is happy and knows she made her owner happy too.

always a pleasure to see this girl on my dashboard

[charlesoberonn]

It wasn't there 😔

[slushyseals]

I'm not sure if "defect" is the right word. It is living it's life as a pillow. That's like, the dream.

Edit: After a little digging I believe that this species of starfish has a mutation that sometimes occurs, here's a different photo and "biscuit starfish" individual:

i might have already talked about this before but it’s actually crazy that jogging gets treated as a default ‘getting into shape for the first time’ exercise ESPECIALLY if someone’s goal involves weight loss. people who are more than ~200lbs often need special gear and running techniques to avoid shin splints etc *even if all that weight is solid muscle*, and the likelihood of injury only goes up as strength to weight ratio decreases. someone who’s both heavy AND untrained is just going to be miserable for however long it takes their bones and connective tissue to adapt to the sudden increase in demand. usually this takes months, but it can take even longer under adverse conditions like, say, suddenly eating way less than normal. and all this for an activity that literally isn’t even fun unless you are a specific type of insane. there are so many low impact and actually enjoyable forms of cardio why are we slapshotting biomechanically disadvantaged novices into the david goggins torment dimension

[mumblesplash]

obsessed w all the people in the notes saying some form of ‘i love running! don’t do it 👍’

[13thgear]

My boss is one of those insane people who likes to run marathons and even 100 miles races that have you running for something like 24 hours straight.

Completely incomprehensible to me!

Some days I struggle to walk around the block.

I have some chronic pain issues and other health shit that means I'm never going to consider running as a benefit to me. Seeing a physio for joint strengthening exercises and then moving on to water aerobics with the nanas is the way for me.

Slowly, steadily, and safely
