So I just wanted to thank everyone for the support on the 40th birthday existential crisis/what do you mean my cat is sick??? episode. Missy is on a much more chill pain med now (photo is her earlier, doing a half sploot and purring) and she's regained her appetite for tubes which definitely addresses my panic about her being dehydrated.
Shoutout to @puddeneen @medinaquirin @defiantbird @nightowlqueen @reallyginnyf @gaffsie and @smitchsmats for the replies and messages, they really did help to get me through a truly shitty day.
#personal#when i find myself in a vet office having a crisis at 3am of course i'm gonna end up on tumblr#thank you all for rolling with the vent posts and reaching out

#ok i am in a peaceful headspace because i entered this meeting in a zen state of mind and told myself that nothing could disturb my peace#but i must just relate what happened#me: it's such great news that higher-up leadership has greenlit this multi-year plan!#since they want to see the first stage implemented this next academic year i plan to get started on faculty recruitment & course developmen#redacted: [vague faraway expression] i had a great idea which is [long rambling description of a totally new program#that is totally disconnected with anything we've ever done before and would cost a gazillion dollars to implement]#me: that's... great. however i wonder if leadership will expect us to implement the plan they just approved#which we spent months developing and iterating with them#so let's keep thinking about that but i suggest we move forward with the things in the plan#R: now I haven't read the plan yet [VERBATIM QUOTE LMAO]#but i think the main problem with it is that you're always coming up with these new ideas. and then you never explain#how we're going to implement them or how much it'll cost or what it will take to make these things happen#me [breathing in for four - hold - out for four]: perhaps we can look at pages 14-17 together#where i have put together a detailed implementation plan with a timeline + estimated costs + commitments from partners#who will need to be involved#R: [staring at me with a look of poorly concealed dislike] ok..why don't you go work on revising this draft so we have an actual plan#me: this is the final plan. this is the plan that has been vetted and revised with your boss's feedback & officially greenlit by your boss#R: the real issue here is that you have all these new ideas... let me tell you about the amazing work i did on this back in 2011.#why don't you go back and look at that report and see if you can just use that to develop your plan#me: that report - which is two pages long and 14 years out of date - is already incorporated in this finalized plan.#i don't know how many ways i can say this. i can't revise the plan anymore because we are done revising it. it has been formally approved.#they are asking us to implement the first stage of it this fall#i have to move forward or we can't implement it this fall#because we won't have done any work. because we were revising a plan that is already finalized#LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING#WHAT IS EVER HAPPENING

well zinnia and I are finally home at 2am lmao 😭 she was stressed at the vet and had really labored breathing that seemed to be all she could focus on, but the good news is that now that we're home she is being curious, social, active, grooming herself, and she even ate some yogurt. she's a little bit more reserved than usual but it's not like insanely stressed out dying behavior. the vet seemed concerned but he didn't diagnose anything worse than what I was already expecting. lower respiratory infection obviously isn't Great but it's not cancer and there was no fluid in her lungs or anything. I think the stress of the long vet visit definitely exacerbated her symptoms as well so hopefully the super labored, painful looking breathing does not return. and the other good news is she's one of the chillest rats I've ever had so medication time is not a ten minute ordeal
#now to keep an eye on her and do meds every 12 hours#which. they gave me a fuck ton of predosed syringes instead of a bottle and one syringe??? which I've never received from a vet before#at first I thought they accidentally hadn't given me the meds 😭#they only gave me a 7 day course which usually its two weeks for these things so 🤨#but now that she has started meds I can buy more online and dose it myself lmao#and not feel like she's dying as I wait for it to arrive#ghost posts#text

urgh urgh urgh im pretty sure my cat Dmitri had a seizure last night - we went to the emergency vet and things seem to be okay now and he’s acting totally normal but it was terrifying. We were supposed to fly out for a lovely vacation this morning but now we’re canceling everything because we’d be too nervous something might happen to him when we aren’t home
#I’ve been super paranoid because on Thursday I took him to a the vet and we decided to try an injection for arthritis pain#and i haven’t heard about it but the vet recommended it so im like yeah okay#but then i got home and started looking things up about it and freaked myself the fuck out#because there’s like real horrible horror stories of it#and listen. I am a scientist. correlation does not equal causation#only elderly cats get this drug and of course people are going to be more hyper vigilant after a new med is given if something happens#so I’m so anxious because if I knew it actually had a risk of real severe side effects I would have never done it right before we left#and literally last night we are completely packed watching the great Budapest hotel#both crying our eyes out#and he’s next to me#on the couch sleeping#and he’s doing his cute ‘twitching when I’m sleeping’ thing#and we are like awww. should we wake him up?#so I pet him and. he’s. completely lax.#like a flaccid stuffed animal.#his eyes are rolled into the back of his head#he’s not responding at all but still twitching#I see his chest moving so I know he’s breathing#and I’m like. fuck. I think this is a seizure.#and just like with seizure like a minute later he wakes up. just normal. a little confused after.#and I’m like. fuck. what else could it BE#and it’s late and my husband had a bit to drink cause it’s Saturday and we’re on vacation#and was definitely not helpful. like a total wreck.#luckily I was completely sober so I’m like. okay. find the nearest emergency vet. call them#we are going#he got some blood tests and benzodiazepines and has been completely normal since#but damn. that was so freaking scary#I’m happy he’s okay right now. I just hope nothing else happens.#man. I’m just bummed on so many different levels right now.

Here was my look for most of the day / here is my perfect girl. She was subdued today. The internet says a side effect of her pill is depression—and of course I always get sad and tired after a surgery. And she is effectively going through menopause.
I’m deeply conflicted about the ethics of spaying. I’m unmoved by the arguments about Oh there’ll be fewer strays, because I simply cannot be convinced, by anybody for any reason, that it would be better if there were fewer living things. I don’t care that cats are invasive. It seems monstrous to change an animal’s body and life like this. But they say she’ll be safer this way—and I’ve read that sex hurts for girl cats. That’s really all that convinced me to go through with it.
The whole thing of owning pets seems so wrong to me. All of this seems immoral. I’m being quite serious. But the order of the world is immoral and I’m not going to fix it by acting like the state of things is different. And I love my girl enormously and I do say horrible things like Do you want mommy kisses? Are you coming up for mommy kisses?
I let her sleep in my room last night—normally I can’t, because she’ll get bored and smack me in the face to wake me up for fun in the small hours, and once I’m up I’m up. But I didn’t want her to be alone after her terrible day. She slept sweetly on me, and when I turned the light on she was sitting on the floor beside my bed looking directly at me like the bad roommate on Friends who watches Chandler sleep. It was great.
Anyhow, another 5am tomorrow so she can have her pill right away. Ignore my horrible thumb—I was trying out different shades. Idk which color I want to do next
#my photos#and of course I know that more domestic cats means fewer living birds#but it’s different#by the way none of you will respect this to the degree you should but I was able to stop myself yesterday from asking the vet if he thought#perhaps our cycles were synced me and the cat's#It was an incredible save because in the moment I was like 'I really can't see any reason why I shouldn't ask this'#and my sober angel had her hand on my shoulder and said Wait. Wait. Just don't say it and consider later why you shouldn't

Misty is driving me absolutely crazy trying (and too often succeeding) in eating chicken poop. It was beautiful yesterday. I needed to not think about current life events. I spent basically all day outside doing garden prep. When Misty was done, let the chickens free range
Now, today, very pretty again. A certain puppy is going to be banished to the indoors if she keeps hunting for poops. No amount of leave its will save me. They've never worked on chicken poops. On the brightside, she does recall every time I tell her to come... but goes right back to the scene of the crime

Literally going back to the chickens even though I just said no and recalled her
#ive been seeing someone who's really into gardening and outdoor plants and I'm an indoor plant person#who struggles significantly with outdoor plants. somehow? im not really sure why im so bad at gardening#but you know. newish relationship. the desire to impress is present#meanwhile the bf is like. are you going to be able to maintain this and do things with misty and also maybe get a puppy this year??#and also setting up a little greenhouse to expand my houseplant hobby.......#all i know for sure is. im making myself very busy#the grief is. heavy. funeral the weekend after next. i think itll just keep coming in waves#anyways anyways. enough rambling.#lure coursing this weekend so i need to be good and get Misty's nails dremelled down#with everything happening it hasn't even been on my radar#shouldve said yes when the vet offered to trim them...

Except now we also have to contend with 'AI' (Machine learning) aggregates that make it even harder to find the Thing you need, because most the search results now are cloaked info-barfers that are just ouroboros-ing information tidbits that have a 50/50 or so chance of being even kinda right, so who knows if the Thing that you've been presented with even is the Thing.
This is especially frustrating when dealing with incredibly niche medical/surgical/biological information for what should be obvious reasons. You'll get a result, sure, but you'll need to spend an extra hour or so to make sure you don't end up in the hospital just because a formerly useful resource is now run by bots.
People are definitely going to die because of this.
"every possible kind of content can be found on the internet" yeah sure except for the One fucking thing I'm looking for. why does no one want to talk about the One Singular thing I'm looking for. but yeah other than that everything is on here.
#I mean I don't put all my eggs in internet search result baskets of course#but y'know sometimes it'd be nice to not have to go get an actual catalog to see what kind of poison something is#or how to do some kind of procedure#nowadays your best bet for accurate information is somehow reddit#crowdsourced info can have bad apples but bot sourced info is pretty much half meh apples and half rocks painted like apples#thankfully most people don't need to know how to do minor field surgery but most people have money#and/or access to doctors and proper vets#now; *I* know what I'm doing for the most part; but the next person who finds themself needing to learn might find it harder than I did#and disclaimer I don't make real surgery a habit; sibling and I have got debridement routine down pat#dead flesh isn't surgery but we follow similar protocols#with pretty good results so far if I do say so myself#had a hen with a nasty lookin pressure sore on her chest; is currently pretty much completely healed and fat and happy and warm all winter#cause she's been of service keeping my hen with balance issues company#rather wish I had process photos of that wound cause I think we did pretty darn good#it looked real gnarly at first#and I didn't find a ton of info online on it so it was pretty much 'welp we'll do what I'd do if it was me and keep a close eye on her'#btw hydrochlorous acid appears to be a legit fuckin godsend#done lots of research on it and actual trustworthy studies and shit have confirmed it's like both the gentlest and strongest anti-microbial#stuff's the shit#been using it on everything for years as vetricyn cause there's just. not a lot out there for farm animal care. but now I just get it from#the chemical manufacturer and it's so nice to have around#been using that for flushes for a good while; always seems to work great knock on wood#plus hey it's a good face cleanser#anyway#I am very tired#what else is new

I plan to eventually start sharing some more Sudan fundraisers. I just want to check out one of the well known claimed vetters first ( she's not on here, but her efforts get shared by people outside of her platforms a lot it seems ).
#Bob mod#delete later#I myself am not experienced at vetting at all of course.#But I couldn't get a lot of information just off of her Bluesky.#However she seems to be very trusted and the campaigns she sponsors tend to get a lot of traction off of her from time to time.

Why does everyone want my dog to die lmao??
#I'm not a dog person. I'd love to be dogless but I promised my dad I'd take care of his dog ~12 years ago#The little menace is now 16 so I'd say I've been doing okay for someone who isn't a dog person and also allergic#He went blind two years ago via a combined oopsie between the vet and myself#''It's just an irritation so I'm going to prescribe this heavy duty ointment don't use it too much!''#''But I'm not going to give you a maximum amount of days to apply it! Just guess :)''#but he adjusted easily enough after like. the first few days lol.#Of course the person responsible for this vent also - when I asked her - said that yes.#She thinks blind PEOPLE should die too ''because they're suffering!''#To which I did not ask but should have--#why didn't she kill her kid with cerebral palsy if she thinks these things?#Why did she raise her paralyzed handicapped kid until she died in her 30s?#She was ''suffering'' too wasn't she?

my cat almost definitely has a gi bleed and i have no idea what to do
#go to the vet of course but i have no money at all to be doing that#i just got some from my mom and even w that i don't have enough to make it through the semester#i feel so guilty i know i don't have the means to take care of my cats in the way they deserve but i know they don't have any better options#txt#genuinely considering a fundraiser#even if i don't think it'd help#and i wouldn't feel right making one for myself

Help Mohamed To Survive and Restore His Life
Hello Everyone... I am Mohamed Mikki From Gaza, Palestine. 24 years old, my life has been difficult since I was young, when I was 17 years old, I lost my father, and with my determination to build my future, I decided to continue my education in the field of multimedia technology and develop my skills through many courses in the same field, and I was working alongside my studies to cover my expenses in the field of graphic design, I was preparing myself to establish my life and future.
My Father:

When I try hard and acheived success in my university college :

When I start my own work:

But the war in Gaza, especially in the north, brought with it a great tragedy, the war destroyed my home, my university, and my work, I was in the north, and I was displaced to the south where I faced famine and moved from one place to another in search of safety.

I have lived countless difficult and painful days during my many attempts to escape death, bombing, and destruction. In my places of displacement that the army says are safe but are never, life has become limited to escaping danger and searching for food among the rubble of destroyed homes.

My dream now is to travel abroad to continue my education, develop my skills, survive, and build my future that has been destroyed, as for the past nine months I have been unemployed due to the war conditions and the power and internet outage since the first day of the war, in addition to the frequent movement from one place to another to escape the war machine, missiles and death, as there was no stability for the absent work conditions.
Here your generosity can make a big difference, your support will help me rebuild my life and continue my education and will provide me with the opportunity to escape the circle of danger and destruction and strive towards a future full of hope and potential.
I humbly ask you to help raise funds to cover the costs of travel, education, and basic expenses as I seek to start a new life, every contribution, no matter how small, brings me a step closer to safety, stability, success, and building a better future.
Breakdown of Expenses
Rafah/Egypt crossing: $5000
Minimum Living Costs: $3000/per month
Egypt/Canada Tickets: $5000
Minimum Living Costs in Canada: $7000/per month
Vetted by:
@90-ghost
@northgazaupdates2
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest in my request, your support means more to me than words can express, with your help I can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience...
With sincere gratitude
Mohamed Mikki

Today's vetted fundraisers
I'm Yara, 22, from Rafah, Gaza, now living in Mawasi Khan Yunis. I'm a physical therapy student whose studies have been disrupted by the war. I’m supporting my family of nine, including parents, siblings, and three young children. We were displaced from our home in Rafah, which was destroyed. Before the war, I was pursuing a cupping course to support myself, but the conflict has halted it.
The message is a heartfelt appeal for help to rescue the family from a dire situation. It emphasizes that any contribution, whether financial or through sharing the message, could make a significant difference in their lives.

Jason's fucked up new dog-DCxDP prompt
Based on this video
Jason found a decrepit Xolo dog a few months ago. The thing looked half dead. It was almost entirely hairless and thoroughly unpleasant.
Jason refuses to listen to any negative talk about his puppy. The thing weezes and has a cough of a smoker.
How it escapes death—no one knows. That is until a boy showed up at Jason's door with a clipboard.
"I'm here for—Darcy." He said "He's like 4 years overdue and he's evaded everyone before me."
An apprentice grim reaper had come for Darcy and Jason needed to convince him to not take the dog.
Force wasn't going to work, and telling him that he loved his dog and didn't want to lose him didn't work either.
The teen wasn't moved in the slightest.
"Look, dogs die. We treasure what time we have, and we learn to move on. I have a dog myself, and I get it. You can get a new friends and know that he'll be fine with us." The grim said.
Jason had an idea. Two people that could wear down anyone. Tim and Damian.
His brother actually came in handy as they argued Jason's case.
"The paper says that Darcy is overdue to die. But that's impossible because he wasn't named Darcy until 2 months ago. If anything his new name and identity would transfer to a new contract and thereby extend his life as a grace period." Tim argued.
"While I appreciate the semantics, Darcy has lived a good 17 years for a dog. He is also a xolo which means he has an important role to guild the dead and looking after the deceased." The grim said.
"If that's the case, he belongs with Todd." Damian said confidently.
"What do you mean?" The grim asked suspiciously.
"You're all about paperwork and contracts right?Well, Jason is legally dead and physically half dead. So Darcy is like a service dog." Tim said, backing Damian's claim.
The grim cased a look at the twitching, cow eyed dog. Then he sighed.
"Alright. The death dodgers is yours. I don't think we are in short supply of reaping dogs anyways. I'll be checking in of course because the oldan is going to croak eventually. Take my card and call me when you are finally willing to give him a peaceful death natural death, and not a needle from a vet." The grim said, handing Jason his card and disappearing in a black mist.
The black card had white ink lettering.
"Danny Phantom. You only need to say the name."
