Basil goes in for his FHO surgery on Tuesday, since the dislocated hip he suffered when he was attacked by the loose dog hasn’t stayed in the socket and the toggle pin option for surgery is just too out of budget. His skull has healed really well, which at the time has been my biggest concern. He’s got a permanent dent above the left eye now and a lumpy ear with the scar tissue, but that’s just cosmetic. The stitches are fully dissolved on the healed lacerations to his leg.

I’ll be really glad to get him through this last hurdle of his recovery, the pain management has been keeping him mobile to go in and out for potty breaks, but it’s affected his appetite so his weight has suffered.

Between the initial emergency vet visit after he was attacked, the MRI, and the follow ups, it’s run us about $6500 so far, $1300 of which y’all contributed when I initially asked for help. Thank you so so much for everything <3

I’ve got about $1800 of the ~$2300 quote for his upcoming surgery covered and can put the rest on CareCredit if needed to make sure he gets in for his surgery date either way, but if you’re interested in chipping in towards what is hopefully the last big vet procedure for Basil, my PayPal is [email protected] and Venmo is @gabriel-ogle-wilderun

Hey y’all, I hate to ask for help like this, but Basil is at the vet after a severe attack from a loose dog during our morning walk.

Right now, the biggest concern is that he almost certainly has a fractured skull. Initial exam upon intake indicates that it appears to be a sinus cavity skull fracture rather than damage to the brain cavity itself, he wasn’t exhibiting neurological symptoms and was able to stand despite being in shock and the wounds on other parts of his body, responsive and mostly alert etc, so it’s possible that we got very, very, VERY lucky, but we will need to take him to a larger veterinary hospital once he’s stabilized here in town, since we’ll need to do a CT to get better imaging and determine if surgery is necessary. The other injuries are all pretty superficial (bruising, lacerations, damage to his ear, etc) in comparison to that.

This level of specialty care is very expensive and will push me past my emergency savings. If you’re in a position where you can chip in a few bucks towards his care, I would really, really appreciate it. My PayPal is [email protected] and Venmo is @gabriel-ogle-wilderun, but if a different method works better just send me a DM.

Basil is one of those once-in-a-lifetime dogs. Within days of him being dropped off as a foster I knew that he was never gonna leave, he just fit in so well with my crew and I fell in love. He is so, so special to me, and I’d do anything for him including ask for help.

I should be hearing back from our vet soon with an updated quote and some referrals out to specialists & their quotes, and I’ll share those here ASAP.

Current update 6-3-26 : Basil is going in for an FHO on Tuesday, since the dislocated hip won’t stay in place. They’ve tried reducing it manually again but no luck :/ we’re paid up with the vet currently, but this will be another $2,300 on top of the $6,500 we’ve already paid, so if anyone is able to chip in towards this last hurdle it would be massively appreciated <3 everything has healed well, it’s just this dang hip still giving us trouble!

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real: Nature.com

I'm a bit frightened for the time when someone less ethical than the person that did this decides to repeat the experiment but leave out the part where they come in later and announce that it was fake and people wind up diagnosed with the fake condition and all kinds of wacky hi jinks ensues.

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.

I'm so sorry Dick Grayson but the period of time where Bruce was dead is literally peak Dick Grayson era. Dad is dead. One brother threw himself off a cliff to avoid going to therapy. The other one is having a genuine mental breakdown in europe and blowing up warehouses. There's a body double of his dead dad running around threatening to destroy the carefully constructed house of lies. He has to look after a murderous ten year old with a sword. People keep asking him about how to run a multibillion dollar company. He's trying his best even though this is literally the thing he's been most afraid of since he was ten years old. He's not good enough and everyone can tell. On top of all that he's getting sensory issues from having to wear a cape.

Man having every single bad day a person can possibly have happen to him simultaneously.

Yes, UtH is a tragedy, but aging Jason up too much before he gets put in the Lazarus Pit really robs you of the comedy of a 16-18 year old doing all that.

as a writer, it’s very important that you know this: whenever you tell yourself “this will only be one-chapter-long” that is a lie. your brain is lying to you. it won’t, in fact, be just a short one-shot
