Have you braved a second trip to the vets yet?

Alas we have not. Unless she’s showing signs of actually being sick, I may wait until I can be in the room with her. They’ve never freaked out at the vet’s like that before, and I’m positive it’s because she was separated from both me and Polk. They’re almost always in the same room as me or one another at home, and the only time I’ve seen Dearborn get anxious at the vet’s before was when they took Polk into another room to have her ears washed and Deebs couldn’t see, hear, or smell her. Even when she had to get a shot last time and the vet accidentally hit the wrong place and she let out the saddest wail I’ve ever heard, she didn’t freak out as long as she could see me.

I don't have any chicken snacks, but I do have shrimpies and fish skin!! It'll make her breath atrocious but man, does it help their coats and skin

They are weirdly indifferent to fish, oddly enough. They’re so un-food-motivated to begin with -- they don’t really like treats, they free feed without gaining extra weight because they rarely even eat a cup’s worth in a day, and they won’t eat salmon flavored wet food. The only food I’ve seen them go bonkers for is chicken (preferably cooked or raw; the dried chicken comes a distant third). And Dearborn fucking loves McDonalds fries and hamburgers, for some reason.

oh what a face! what paws! how can you torment her so, by doing something besides petting her when she wants to be petted

Truly I am the cruelest cat papa of them all.

That's so exciting! I love Stealing Harry for many reasons, including the fact that a podfic version kept me company through months of vertigo when I could do almost boring, but Cartographers craft is an all time favorite, and fighting the skeleton is one of my favorite parts

Aw, that’s lovely to hear! I do think CC is not as hobbled by canon as SH, which made it easier to come up with new and fun things to write about.

"Chiacago" sounds like a style of lighting in Italian painting

Chicagoscuro! :D

I am begging you to start drama about this on Twitter. :P

But then I’d have to go to Twitter D: WHY CAN’T WE HAVE NICE DRAMA RIGHT HERE.

...I think it's a face? Like o.o ? But I'm also an Old, so IDK.

You’re talking to someone who fills in internet acronyms with the weirdest stuff instead of, you know, looking to see what they actually mean. I thought smh was “smell my hand” for a long time. Only recently found out that iirc did NOT mean “if I really cared.”

70 minutes of fluff with 10 minutes of conflict in the next-to-last section sounds like most of my favorite fanfics.

I mean, honestly, in this case it’s pretty satisfying. 

unpredictabloo replied to your photo “Have you ever 1990’d so hard in your life.”

Dude I saw this irl, it was at the Chicago Randolph street market! Cost a few hundred if I'm remembering correctly

That’s where I saw it! I didn’t check the price, but next market I’m going to go looking for it if it hasn’t sold yet, 

bi0s reblogged your photo and added:

op is it for sale I’ll pay any ammount

Given the regular Randolph Street Market prices, it’s probably around $2500.

Honestly, how hard is “What have you been reading,” or “So what have you learned this semester that was awesome?” Why are people?

People get stuck in ruts...I know when I was in college or just out of college, it was really hard to think of conversation starters that weren’t “How’s your semester going,” “What classes are you taking,” or “How was your break”

You’d just think adultier adults would be used to interacting with more people who aren’t Like Them, but they’re not.

“Yeah,” Bucky says. “Best way to do it. They’ll never expect us to try something this stupid.” They all look sideways at Steve at that point, waiting for him to put a stop to the madness, but he doesn’t, so they’re stuck with it. Bucky can’t actually blame any of them for being concerned, considering that this whole plan is only necessary because large parts of his brain are still a train wreck, but he does wish they’d at least acknowledge that Steve’s brilliant plans usually consist of kicking down doors and punching stuff until either it falls down or he does.

The life lesson is *supposed* to be compassion toward other people in the same boat, but the universe doesn't realize that you already understand this. *hugs*

I DO and the universe can go screw itself but yes, thanks, *hugs*

"Decapitalize" is a thing people say?

I suspect it’s a thing excitable baby interns say, but after two days of fixing Random Capitalization Everywhere Oh Gosh Why from one of the pastors, I was just proud of him for catching it.

You should regret nothing, they were magnificent.

Thank you! *happy caffeinated buzzing*
