Squeezing oc like a stress ball. Throwing oc at the wall like a tennis ball. Dribbling oc on the ground like a basket ball. Whacking oc with a club like golf ball. AND OTHER SUCH ACTIVIES THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE.

You cannot diagnose people's pets over the internet.

Whether you think you are being helpful or not. Whether you are being judgemental or not. Doesn't matter. You do not have hands or eyes on that animal in person. Even if you did, if you are not a veterinarian you have no business diagnosing them anyway.

I have had people tell me my dog's complex condition was X. It was not. And I wasn't asking. It's carefully managed by her vet.

I have had people say my dog has ectropion based on a photo that was from an unfortunate angle. My dog had recently had an exam with a veterinary eye specialist and definitely doesn't have ectropion.

I have had people tell me to give my dog a specific food or drug to relieve stomach upset. That food or drug actually probably would kill my dog. She is incredibly sensitive.

I have had people tell me my dog was overweight based on photos. My dog who was at her absolute physical peak, out there winning agility regionals and competing most weekends. Sorry that my weird mutt was shaped like a barrel and you couldn't tell her condition without hands on her, and her colouring hid the definition of her waist and visible ribs in photos.

Diagnosing someone's dog that is probably miles away from you that you only see a small snapshot of in photos and videos on the internet is laughable. And could be potentially dangerous if someone did follow bad advice! Leave it to veterinary professionals.

you can’t call something a crackship if they have multiple scenes together and insane sexual tension. not even if only a few people ship them. that’s just a rarepair. the line must be drawn here.

“crackship” is for when he-man cheats on skeletor with sans at the skeleton family reunion

i love a morally grey ruthless woman who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals (that she believes are for the greater good) and is also constantly wracked with guilt about what she's had to do but can't show it so she just comes across as cold and unfeeling to everyone

Just a note for the local crowd

Every now and then a difficult period like this comes along: so it's time to request some assistance.

I've kind of been neglecting my vision for the past year or so, aware that I needed new glasses (and to go have a consult for possible eye-related surgery), but putting it off... and now the situation has, as it were, come home to roost.

The other day, when I was typing something and then (to check it before posting) had to pick up the Mac and hold it up to my nose to see what I'd typed... I realized that if this went on much longer, even with dictation (because after you dictate, you still have to edit...), I wouldn't be able to write.

That would be bad.

I need to go see my Eye Lady, get examined, and get both sets of glasses re-fitted with new prescriptions. This—as usual, each time it needs to be done every year and a half or two years, due to Weird Eyes—is going to run into a low-four-figure-ish kind of money. And due to other recent unexpected medical expenses, right now there's not enough dosh around (or spondoolicks or whatever term you prefer...) to get things sorted.

Therefore: can I get people interested in keeping a writer, you know, writing (as I've got three novels working at once at the moment...), to consider doing one of these things?

(a) Go over to Ebooks Direct and buy a book. (Or a bundle. Or a gift card for somebody else who might like my work.) And if you do: thanks so much!

(b) Stop by my Ko-Fi and drop a little something in the pot. It'll be most appreciated.

Support Diane Duane

And if you can't do either of the above:

(c) Reblog this and let other people see it?

Whatever you do: thanks very much!

"You know what's harder than Getting Better? Living Like That" is just the thesis for my whole shit going on right now honestly. You know what's harder than doing my physical therapy? Hurting All The Time. You know what's harder than addressing my gender dysphoria? Hurting All The Time

I'm Doing The Hard Thing and it's *easier* than how I was living before. If you make yourself feel better you will have more energy to spend on Getting Better. Nice inch nails - the upward spiral. Crawl out of your grave Thursday
