Astro obs part 9

🐌 The planets in your 12th house indicate your sleeping style:

Sun in 12th house - their sleep schedule is extremely messed up; for them, daylight hours = nighttime hours and vice versa, so they have trouble being themselves during the day; their true self comes out at night

Moon in 12th house - goes to sleep very late; full moons have a special effect on these people; their intuition is more clear at night; as kids, they probably slept a lot with their mother

Mercury in 12th house - loves texting/calling people late at night; they might journal their thoughts before sleep because they overthink a lot and it helps to clear their mind or maybe they just like to relax by reading a book at night

Venus in 12th house - cares a lot about getting their "beauty sleep"; sleeps with sleep masks on, buys expensive bed lingerie, skincare night routine might be very important; loves sleeping in general lmao

Mars in 12th house - enjoys working out before going to sleep, can go to sleep angry because they tend to get into conflict more at night than during the day

I have Uranus in 12th house and i can be both a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper, depending on where i am. For example, when i'm traveling, during the first night i wake up several times, but from the second night on i sleep like a baby lmao. Another thing would be that i can't sleep in a quiet car but i don't have any problem sleeping during a thunderstorm

🐌 Mars in fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sag) and Mars in 3rd house individuals love riding motorbikess

🐌 While Mars in 9th house peeps would probably love to go on a world tour on their motorbike. The sign ruling their 9th house represents the countries they would love to visit (i'm aware that some of these can only be visited by plane, take it with a grain of salt): 

♈ in 9th house: Ireland, Poland, Japan, Zimbabwe

♉ in 9th house: Cuba, Paraguay, South Africa, East Timor

♊ in 9th house: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Montenegro

♋ in 9th house: Canada, USA, Bahamas, Argentina, Slovenia, Madagascar

♌ in 9th house: Hawaii, France, Italy, The Netherlands, India, South Korea, Peru, Bolivia

♍ in 9th house: Switzerland, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Vietnam

♎ in 9th house: Belgium, Portugal, China, Equatorial Guinea, Lesotho

♏ in 9th house: Panama, Spain, Turkey, Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE), Palestine, Lebanon

♐ in 9th house: Finland, Lithuania, Romania, Tanzania, Thailand

♑ in 9th house: UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Australia, Camerun

♒ in 9th house: Greece, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka

♓ in 9th house: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Mauritius, Saint Lucia

🐌 I have a feeling Pisces Suns like to spend their time in a garage lmao. Mostly because their opposing sign, Virgo, would hate to spend time in a garage due to how dirty it can get.

🐌As a 7th house Sun who's been in love for almost a year now (haha, are we surprised, ofcours not; i'm not even in a relationship with him but ugh we're so perfect for each other), i realised that Sun in 7th house people tend to behave differently with their partner when they're in a healthy relationship vs when they're in a toxic one

♋ Cancer in a unhealthy relationship: if they don't trust their partner, they tend to become emotionally closed off to hide their deep sadness; defensive, but if their partner attackes them, then they'll hide, worries excessively, avoids presenting their partner to their family

♌ Leo in a healthy relationship: treats their partner like the king/queen they are, keeps their ego in check so it doesn't interfere with the relationship, if they've got artistic talents (music, acting, art etc.), they'll show their love for their partner by performing in front of them

♌ Leo in an unhealthy relationship: egocentric, shows off their partner/relationship too much out of pride, often feels entitled in the relationship and wants to be put on a pedestal by their partner

California zoo accessibility data dump

I just recently got back from a short (and fully covid-cautious) zoo road trip in Oregon and California, and wanted to share my notes re: accessibility at the facilities I visited. I'll get this all integrated into the spreadsheet, too.

Wildlife Safari - Winston, Oregon

This is a large drive-thru safari park with a free walk-about area attached that contains some small exhibits. Guests stay inside their cars the entire drive-thru, although there's at least one place to stop and sit in a gazebo to rest and use the bathroom (porta-potty only). You can pull over to watch animals for longer, and go through multiple times if you missed anything. It's a long drive-thru and there isn't really a good way to truncate the experience if you've got some kind of emergency. The roads are not flat, but they're well maintained and not bumpy.

The walkabout area is very small and contains bathrooms, food options, and other guest services. The paths are mostly concrete and well tended, although you do have to cross the steam train tracks to get to lion/some of the lemur viewing. I believe the Australia walkabout area was also unpaved. There's lots of parking in a big, flat, paved lot.

Sacramento Zoo - Sacramento, CA

This is a very cute, small inner-city facility - a good option if you don't want to try to walk a huge zoo in one day. There's lots of shade from all the plants and a good amount of benches throughout, including picnic tables with shade canopies. The paths are almost entirely flat and paved, with the exception of a boardwalk ramp up to the giraffe feeding and okapi viewing platforms. The cafe has gluten-free and vegetarian listings (maybe vegan?) on their menu. No straws are provided for animal safety, but if you need one, they can give you a reusable curly-straw from the slushies (kinda long and awkward for a normal cup) as an accommodation. They've got both water fountains and water bottle filling stations. Being build in a larger city park and recreation complex, there isn't a dedicated parking lot just for the zoo: the closest is across the street, shared with another attraction, and is kinda small. I've never had issues finding parking when I've gone, but sometimes it does involve a bunch of walking to get to the zoo entrance - if you have mobility or stamina limitations, probably best to get dropped off at the entrance and wait (there are benches).

San Francisco Zoo - San Francisco, CA

The SF Zoo is huge. There's lots of green / garden / swamp space that doesn't have habitats in it, but it means exhibits can be pretty far away, so plan your route accordingly. (Going out to the grizzly bears is the longest loop). Depending on the time of day, there's not always a ton of shade for guests either. There's a decent amount of benches, and quite a few are in decent proximity to animal viewing. After a somewhat long but not steep hill right at the entrance, the paths are all paved and fairly flat. There's a hill going down into/up from the Australia area / kids playground, but it's the only one I really noticed. There's a long elevated boardwalk through the lemur habitats that connects to the top of the new Madagascar construction - if you can't do stairs, as of Spring 2024, that's the only way to get up there to look down on the mandrills or see the top of the fossa habitat. (It's still under construction, so there might be an elevator in the building in the future). Back by the grizzlies, there's an old indoor rainforest building - while there's buttons to automatically open the door going in, I didn't find any on the first inside door going out. It makes sense they don't want both doors to open at once since it's a bird airlock, but not having independent ones on each door meant the day I used an ECV I got stuck in there until a nice staff member noticed.

All three times I've ever been to SF most of the little food kiosks haven't been open, and the vending machines for drinks have been hit and miss - so bring your own, or stock up at the cafe if you need to have supplies with you - but there are water fountains and water bottle filling stations around the zoo. There are interpretive audio boxes through the zoo in English and Spanish, used with a key you get at the entrance(?), but I heard a lot of complaints in passing about some of them not working. There's lots of parking at the zoo in a flat paved lot, and there's a specific dropoff area on one side for rideshares/mobility needs.

Oakland Zoo - Oakland, CA

To be clear up front - Oakland was the hardest facility to visit on this whole trip, with regards to mobility. We went twice, and I used an ECV (electric scooter) one and walked the other. Neither option was easy and both were exhausting. Oakland is a super hilly facility - you basically have to drive up a major hill to get to the zoo. The bottom half of the lower zoo can only be reached by going down pretty steep paths. The hills are also not graded to be "flat", so if you're in a wheelchair or ECV, you're going to have to lean to compensate for the tilt and balance the chair... while controlling it going down a steep hill. It's exhausting and kinda scary. (I don't even let other people carry my camera because $$, but I had to ask for help so I could focus on driving the ECV on those hills). There's also a lot of areas of the pathways that are not in the best repair, or patterned with pressed-in images, and multiple places actually have brass bugs embedded in the pavement so that they stick out above the surface. Lots of tripping hazards and/or things to rattle your teeth out rolling over. A couple places in the upper zoo (the California wilds area) the paths switch from paved to sand and back again, for drainage, maybe? On the upside, there's a lot of benches everywhere, including directly across from prime viewing areas.

Getting up to the upper zoo requires using a gondola - there's no walking option. You can actually take wheelchairs and ECVs on these, but you have to be ready to advocate for yourself. Normally, they don't stop the carriages completely, and expect people to walk on while they're still moving slowly. You can ask them to slow them down for you (I did, because knee issues plus torque is bad), or stop it completely if you need the time/help. When I took an ECV on, they had me disembark and get in one carriage, and they loaded it into the subsequent ones. This is fine because I can walk and stand on concrete for a while without it, but I'm not sure how that practice would work for people who need their mobility aids the whole time. They were very nice about managing the stopping and the loading and didn't make it feel like an imposition, too. If they stop the carriages completely at any point, there will be a loud buzzer/alarm when the ride starts back up. If you're close, it's pretty loud and startling. As they leave the track at the bottom the gondolas tip and dip a little, which can be scary if you're not expecting it - I think it's just the transition of the car from the loading bay onto the track itself. The rest of the ride is very smooth. The track is pretty high up and gives a great view of the bay and the surrounding cities, but face uphill if you don't do well with heights. Once at the upper zoo, the path from bald eagles through jaguar is mostly a boardwalk, but it's not too bumpy.

Oakland's parking is hard if you're not there early in the day, IMO. The overflow parking gets pretty far from the entrance, and starts to go up the hill towards the upper zoo. If the lot looks busy, drop anyone with mobility/stamina issues off at the entrance before parking. Unlike many other zoos I've visited, Oakland's ECVS have added sunshades, which is really nice (and which I should have used).

Monterey Zoo - Salinas, CA

This is a fairly small facility with most habitats on one level, but some big cats and bears are up a pretty big hill. The walkways are paved and flat, and there's an ADA-graded boardwalk ramp that takes you to the top of the hill. The pipes used for the handrails on both the stairs and the ramp get very hot in the sun, however. There's a boardwalk up to the rhino overlook. They indicate that their bathrooms are accessible, but the ones in the main building didn't have bars for transferring - I didn't check the ones up on the hill. At one point in the day speakers along the path started playing really loud pop music (drowned out the birds) and it was very overwhelming. There's lots of handicapped parking spots across from the front entrance, but if you don't have a tag, the rest of the spots are up a bit of a hill and a small walk from the entrance. They do have a note, though, that they can help if you need accessible parking and don't see any, so you could probably call/have someone to go in and ask for an accommodation.

Sequoia Park Zoo - Eureka, CA

This is another nice small facility, very doable for a half-day trip. The paths are paved and flat, and there's benches available. There's a lot of shade, although it can depend on the time of day, and places to fill a water-bottle. The sky-walk through the redwoods is accessible, but might be a little difficult depending on mobility limitations - its' a very sturdy boardwalk through the canopy of the tall trees. (I had more thoughts on this from my last visit, I'll dig out those notes). If you can do even part of it, it's worth it, and there's places to turn around. Because it's in a residential area of the town there's not a huge dedicated parking lot, but lots of street parking and a decent lot directly across the street. I've never had difficulty finding parking, and you can drop people off at the entrance easily.

Album 77 initial reaction final part

*spoilers*

Accidentally looked at the comments and saw something about buckles and a crying emoji, so I'm just going to make the prediction that Jules is converting to Christianity. Why? I don't know her last one, emphasized her being agnostic and I just want to make a wild prediction because it will feel nice if I'm right.

If I'm right though I REALLY hope they pull it off well and full consider the ramifications including how it will impact her falling out with Bridget. Who as of yet hasn't been brought up again. Also they better not pull a Eugene&Katrina arc again because I do NOT have the patience for that.

Mature themes! Oh, no Pamela was in the last episode they can't actually.... Mature themes. Not intensity of a few scenes. Mature themes. Let's go I guess

intro music was cool

wow, we haven't had underage drink since like what? Pokenberry Fall RFD?

this better be a good Connie episode, the last one was right on the edge.

da what???? What is happening?

And a VERY odd picnic specifically

You've been gone for like 3 months at the most Buck chill

"Picnics in the rain are fun" -Kelly and also me whenever Picnics are mentioned or it is raining

Score! Jillian & Connie!

Yo! Are they going to give that kid his comeuppance? I thought they were going to drop it.

Jillian being actually a pessimist is such an interesting concept in my head

What's with AiO and Giraffes? Actually that might just be Kathy

Connie is doing great switching mode!

Is AiO making the characters refer to it as "special water" just to get by censorship or what because it sounds so awkward and they didn't do this back in the 90s.

This whole scene is good awkward

Jillian switching is so fun to hear

Yeah, Jules this situation isn't safe. The drinking is one thing but on top of that the refusal accommodate and refrain for a single practice. Disrespect

Why is every date Kathy writes a picnic?

Jules! Not cool

Why are they in Madagascar again?

THIS! This is fantastic character writing! Everything here is so consistent with previous characterizations and just aaaak

Ok but you couldn't have talked about this before you got to the zoo or like afterwards? You just left that poor zookeeper hanging? Zookeepers have busy schedules and one made time to give you a backstage experience and you just left! Disrespect

Wait! I have to wait months for the next part 😭.

It's fine. I've waited though worse but oy! That was a good episode. Way better than Jules converting that would have been way too fast. I would be surprised if that was the end goal for this arc but she wasn't ready yet.

Also this was absolutely realistic for how their relationship would go down. Neither Buck nor Jules were mature enough to survive a long term relationship and honestly I'm glad they wrote just all of this storyline it's really well crafted.

That being said I also had a nebulous feeling of corny soap opera that I can't pin down if it's me being embarrassed for caring or an actual writing problem

Alright back to Chris

Chris wrap up was fine

Also yeah it was Kathy because who else could it be?

[olliesmultimuse]

Not me actually spelling Madasgascar wrong for years and I've been spelling it as Madagascars the whole time.

It's like that one time, when the movie Encanto came out in 2021, I saw it in theatres and I fully believed I was right, thinking I spelt the Madrigal name right until I found out I was spelling the Madrigal name wrong. I was spelling it as Maladrigal instead of Madrigal at first until I had to double-check to make sure.

In theatres, I don't usually like asking for accommodations. Matter of fact, I've never really asked for accommodations let alone closed captions because I prefer closed captions here at home on my lovely laptop or iPad or iPhone on some platforms I use to watch stuff.

Long story short, I'm really stubborn and I like to think I'm right on a lot of things until I find out I'm actually wrong.

Madagascar Magnificence Navigating the Optimal Time for Your Journey

Madagascar is a country with diverse climates and geographical features, making it a fascinating destination to explore. When planning your trip, it's essential to consider the best time to visit to make the most of your adventure. Here are some planning tips for visiting Madagascar, focusing on the best time to go.

The dry season, particularly from May to October, is considered the best time to visit Madagascar. During these months, the weather is cooler and more pleasant, making it ideal for outdoor activities and wildlife spotting. The roads are also more accessible, and the risk of tropical cyclones is significantly lower.

The peak tourist season in Madagascar is from June to September and around Christmas. These months offer the best weather conditions, and the tourist infrastructure is better prepared to accommodate visitors. However, it's worth noting that prices may be higher during this period, and popular attractions may be more crowded.

If you plan to visit Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park, be aware that the road is only driveable between April and November, and Grand Tsingy (the main event) is only open from June to the beginning of November. It's recommended to visit no later than late October to avoid road closures and ensure access to the park's main attractions.

The rainy season in Madagascar (November – April) can bring tropical cyclones, especially in the east. The main cyclone season is February & March, and road conditions can deteriorate, making travel more challenging. Some attractions may also be inaccessible during this time.

Madagascar operates on a slower pace, known as 'mora mora' (said 'mura mura'), which means 'slowly', 'take it easy', or just 'less'. Embracing this concept will help you enjoy your trip and adapt to any unexpected changes in plans or delays.

Pack comfortable and breathable clothing for Madagascar, with women dressing relatively modestly. Don't forget to check the temperature and likelihood of rain in the season/places you are travelling. Sunscreen, bug spray, and a good camera with a long zoom are also essential for wildlife hikes.

By considering these planning tips, you can ensure a safe, enjoyable, and well-informed trip to Madagascar.
