Image is tweet from @ Kate_Kelly_Esq which reads:

I don't know who needs to hear this, but hyper-independence is the result of trauma.

"I don't need *anybody* & must do everything myself" really means, "My ability to trust has been injured by people systemically letting me down and failing me."

You do need people. We all do.

HELLO good reminder!

This is from a whole thread, which I strongly recommend you read in full! In short, being alone and insisting on doing everything "independently" and without help makes you a hell of a lot easier to take advantage of, and there are plenty of people who know this.

golf sucks but mini golf is fucking awesome....truly one of life's great paradoxes

[peniswakt-deactivated20210717]

golf:

wastes crazy amounts of space and water

soul-crushingly boring

extremely frustrating to all but the highest level of players (most golfers will never even shoot par)

prohibitively expensive (golf clubs are very costly and one round of golf can cost $100+)

mini golf:

18 holes will fit into an area the size of a small park; most courses use astroturf, which doesn't even require water

a fun game of skill to challenge your friends to

easy to get into, but difficult to master

cheap (you and your friends can probably play for like, $20)

BONUS: cool obstacles and gimmicks (windmills, water features, secret holes, etc.)

Golf: completely fucking silent practically on pain of death

Mini golf: dunking on ppl while theyre taking a shot is pretty much required

golf: never glows in the dark

mini golf: can glow in the dark

We don’t like what we don’t understand. Our judgements come from fear. The fear of not understanding what exists in front of us that we haven’t yet personally experienced and learned the lesson of. Next time you find yourself judging yourself or someone else, ask yourself what you can learn from them.

Hello yes winning a shitty ex competition and watching a hagfish tear Alien-style through a fish carcass named after the boy who faked leaving the country instead of dumping me properly has done more for my mental health than the months of therapy he caused.

[shutupmerlin]

Honestly this just added 10 years to my life

Of all the comments clients make to me at work, I think the one that frustrates me the most is, “if you really loved animals you would work for free.”

Not only are you insinuating that I don’t love animals, but you assume that I can work 40-50 hours a week with no pay. I already make little to nothing. I’m $25,000 a year below the poverty line.

The assumption that Veterinary professional make a lot of money needs to be changed. We don’t. We struggle to make ends meet and do so because we love what we do. I know veterinary services cost a lot of money. It’s not because we take all that money and put it all in our pockets. Overhead is really high, way higher than what we make.

Just a Vet tech - Britteny Greene

JUST a Vet Tech greeted you at the door with a smiling face, even though we’ve been running around for 11 hours straight. Your pet was assessed by JUST a Vet Tech and, when we noticed he wasn’t stable, JUST a Vet Tech carried your 70 plus pound dog to the back and screamed for a doctor.

Once the doctor assessed your pet, JUST a Vet Tech placed the IV catheter and started to bolus fluids. JUST a Vet Tech got a blood pressure on your pet today and administered mediations because his blood pressure was low. JUST a Vet Tech drew blood and ensured it got run as quickly as possible. JUST a Vet Tech wrestled your dog to get x-rays today, with the help of an assistant. When we found that your pet needed surgery, JUST a Vet Tech made certain he was stable throughout the procedure. When your pet left the surgery suite, JUST a Vet Tech sat with him to make sure he recovered with no problems.

JUST a Vet Tech got vitals on your pet every couple of hours today and reported all issues to the doctor on duty. JUST a Vet Tech noticed your pet was painful and asked the doctor to administer more pain medications. JUST a Vet Tech sat with your pet today and gave him love while you were at work. JUST a Vet Tech told your pet that he wasn’t there forever, only until he got better. JUST a Vet Tech promised your pet you’d be back for him.

Just a Vet Tech took your dog outside for a walk today. When we realized he was cramped up in that cage and his legs were stiff, JUST a Vet Tech walked your pet around the building at his pace to ensure he got proper exercise. Your pet got a lot of fluids today and couldn’t control his bladder. He’s still so weak. JUST a Vet Tech checked and changed his bedding so he didn’t have to lay in his urine. JUST a Vet Tech administered all your pets medications today.

Your pet was scared (this is a new place with new people), and he was fearfully trying to bite me. JUST a Vet Tech took the time and did everything possible to show him that we weren’t going to hurt him. He accidentally wiped his stool on me when he sat in my lap today. It happens after surgery. But, that’s okay, he didn’t mean it. JUST a Vet Tech cleaned him up nice for you.

I’m so sorry to tell you, your pet had a rough night last night. He took a turn for the worse. You’re letting your pet go today. JUST a Vet Tech understands how hurt you are, and brought you tissues. You were too upset to see your dog leave the world today. JUST a Vet Tech hugged and loved him as he crossed the bridge today. JUST a Vet Tech went home emotionally drained because all the hard work didn’t pay off today. JUST a Vet Tech will do it again tomorrow.

Remember this the next time you call someone JUST a Vet Tech. We are JUST an important part of your pet’s care. And we care about your pet. Sincerely, JUST a Vet Tech
