Linguistic pet peeve: signs that read

"No pets allowed (except service animals)."

By definition, a service animal is NOT a pet.

"No pets allowed (service animals welcome)" would be a much better phrasing.

Please support this game! I've been following it forever and the developers obviously put a lot of love into finally repping my people as Not Just Generic Bad Guys To Be Slaughtered in QuickTime Events, but the unabashed horse girls we truly are. I really love how outspoken she is about representing proper care and compassion for these animals in the industry too.

This is the foundation of all hope btw. In the words of Tolkien, 'despair is for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'

Via NPR...

---------------------- LAGO DI TESERO, Italy — A local dog made a bid for Olympic glory Wednesday morning, breaking out of his doghouse and onto the homestretch of the cross-country ski course in the middle of a race.

Two-year-old Nazgul was quickly collared by race officials and returned unharmed to his home at a nearby bed-and-breakfast, but not before his genial presence lit up television sets and social media channels around the world — even if he perplexed some of the athletes who encountered him.

"I was like, 'Am I hallucinating?" said Tena Hadzic, a 21-year-old Croatian skier who encountered the dog on her trip down the homestretch.

But his owners connected with NPR for a brief interview while they were driving to watch an Olympic biathlon race at another venue.

"He was crying this morning more than normal because he was seeing us leaving — and I think he just wanted to follow us," said the owner, "He always looks for people."

Nazgul is a "stubborn, but very sweet" Czechoslovakian wolfdog, the owner said.

Race organizers did not make Nazgul available for questions after his capture. -------------------

My favorite part was showing the Omega photo finish.

Sometimes I see article headlines where it’s like “wholesome: people crowdfund lifesaving treatment for patient” and it’s like. “:/ i wish lifesaving treatment was affordable” but this is just. So good and pure and wonderful??? The kids get to see their pebbles picked and the penguins get fun pebbles??? I’m crying, there is still good in the world

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

SUPER TOP SECRET WORK HACK!!! If you explicitly tell people, "You are an adult and a professional, I trust you to do your job; just keep me in the loop and let me know if there are questions," then thank and/or praise them when they accomplish your mutual goals? they will keep doing things for and with you. Sometimes they will even side with you over other people in the organization, because you've taken the time to establish that baseline respect and trust! hashtag winning or whatever

Ah, yes, the frequently repeated question: "Do I have a migraine aura, or is there just a smudge on my glasses?" In today's episode, it appears to be a smudge. :)

Just me?

Had a medic shift at a festival recently. People came up to me panicking, telling me that a diabetic person with a cognitive disability had just walked to the drinks stall and started drinking pure lemonade syrup. Surely this was suicidal? Should they call an ambulance???

I walked up to the person, asked them why they're eating so much sugar. Their answer: "blood sugar too low". They were self-medicating a hypo. They knew what they were doing. I hung around a bit to make sure they were okay and watched them monitor their own blood sugar by the book.

Please folks, talk to people before you assume that you know better. People with disabilities. People with psychosis, mania or hallucinations. Neuroatypical people who communicate through cards or writing tools. Try to communicate before jumping to conclusions. Most people understand more than you think about their own needs.

Don't just go to a medic or other form of help behind someones back. That's really not okay and can get people in real trouble. Bypassing someone's autonomy like that is a huge call to make. It shouldn't be the first thing you do.

[butchcurious]

OP in the replies:

"PLEASE READ THIS. The people who came up to me were not ignorant about how diabetes works. They knew what a hypo was. If the person had not had a cognitive disability, they would have interpreted the situation correctly. They did not recognize self-medication because they made the assumption that a person with a cognitive disability wasn't capable of self-medication. This story is about the ableism of assuming other people's capabilities and bypassing their autonomy."
