I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

11 o'clock today marked the end of nineteen and a half wonderful years growing up alongside my childhood dog, Cody
She went peacefully, surrounded by her family in our family living room. I remember the day we first brought Cody home, all those years ago when I was small enough to sit on the steps outside our kitchen, and I was with her at the very end - stroking her ears and pressing kisses to her forehead
Cody wasn't the first dog my family has owned, but she was the first dog of my childhood. I've made dozens of wonderful memories with her: running on the beach, throwing tennis balls for her, sneaking her bits of my dinner under the table, letting her sleep on my bed and so many more!
I'm going to terribly miss my girl, but it was her time. Cody was old and I'm happy knowing that she is at peace now, I'm grateful that - as a final gift to her - we were able to let her go without pain
I wouldn't change a thing about Cody's life, she was a good dog. Miss and love you always Cody

Question for y'all, because I have almost zero experience with babies not old enough to walk and at least say "no" and like, point at things they want and that age is well past the usual baby shower age

Are true riverdale fans of the opinion it is a very good and nearly flawless show or does being a true riverdale fan mean being able to mock writing choices
it's long-running serial television plotted a season/half at a time so definitely not even "nearly" flawless.
BUT. i'm not doing combat with the writing team. i'm not actively reading against the text the way i have to in order to enjoy something like supernatural or the 90s robin comics or the fucking sopranos, which are patriarchal christiancore copworld rapeworld white supremacist horrorshows that hate their minority audiences, with like 2 good creatives involved and martyring themselves to fight the good fight on sparse rare installments if you try to approach them sincerely.
riverdale writing staff are like a favorite smart problematic tumblr mutual to me. I don't always like what's on their blog or who they're referencing. but we're in the same community and i'm interested and inspired and i trust their agenda overall, even when i see shit i wouldn't have fucking posted. but bc i'm not being condescended to or actively spited i'm not gonna condescend to or spite them, you know?
i expect rvd to age like twin peaks (another very uneven, highly referential serial juggling a couple of intensely cool metanarratives on top of its core story). and twin peaks fandom mocks twin peaks all the time. twin peaks includes some CLUNKY shit. it's kitsch. it's camp. it has a second season that is largely ASS. james is there. and on top of that it also includes some genuinely offputting-to-me stuff that just bothers me to sit through, even though i feel like i understand and respect what they're going for with it. i just don't want to watch someone sweep the fucking bar for minutes and minutes as entertainment. OK!!?
...so yeah. mock riverdale but in the right spirit. is that an answer? do i sound like i'm chugging the flavoraid koolaid fresh-aid? probably.

Okay, realized another thing about me that might be weird and now I'm just curious in general so it's poll time again!
When you were getting to be the age where you could sign things yourself, like paperwork and receipts and such, did you sit down and spend time figuring out and practicing your signature until you had something you liked and were comfortable with, or did you just wing it? Bcs I remember when I was in high school coming to the conclusion that I was Almost An Adult and obviously an Adult must have a nice signature, so I sat down and spent a couple days brainstorming ideas for my signature and practicing different ones until I came up with something unique that I liked and that felt natural, and I still use that same signature to this day.
And I guess I kinda assumed everyone did that?? But when I've brought that up to people they've been like "???" and the only other person I know who practiced his was my fiancé, but only once he became a notary bcs your signature basically has to look exactly the same every time for you to be one.
Also, it bears mentioning, pls do NOT post a picture of your signature here!! I don't want anyone getting doxxed or having their identity stolen!! Explain your process all you like, but keep actual examples to yourself!!

In 'vis a vis' Janeway doesn't mention B'Elanna in the list of people who're worried about Tom which implies that B'Elanna didn't report the fact that "Tom" grabbed her arm, called her a disappointment and broke up with her (as Janeway definitely would have mentioned it as evidence of him acting strange if she knew about it) which makes sense on several different fronts but also makes me scream and cry loud enough to break glass.
