Sometimes I start getting worried for no reason like “oh no what if people take issue with my different species in worldbuilding projects having different physical needs and abilities because it could lead to inequality” as if that isn’t an interesting and worthwhile topic to think about in itself. We have a society of ONE sapient species and we still have endless variation in our experiences and one million inequalities bitch you think it won’t be a problem when there’s even MORE variety? Dont you want to think about how this manifests and how people accommodate (or don’t accommodate!) these differences. Don’t you love passively generating entirely fictional toxic tumblr discourse threads <- don’t actually do that part I think it fuels the anxiety even if it’s fun in abstract

Traveled to Florida today for another speaking engagement and I am convinced that the humidity here is proof that there is no justice in this life and God wants us to suffer...

ive been "adopting" jumping spider egg sacs that accidentally become damaged or separated from the moms when im moving plants around at work. im just keeping them dry and protected from ants/other predators until they are ready to emerge and disperse and then i'll free them. these are likely Phidippus audax. these images are the stage after theyve hatched, but still need to molt again to look like an actual jumper and be able to move independently and eat. so baby

because i had to (politely) warn/criticize an acquaintance musher who was out on the trail in 86% humidity and 80F weather running their dogs on a rig when i was there today, i thought now was a good reminder that:

dogs do not cool down effectively when it is more humid

dogs that have previously suffered heat stroke are more at risk of developing it again and will do so more easily than a dog who has never had heat stroke. This ALONE is a great risk to sled dogs.

in the northern hemisphere a majority of dog heat stroke incidents take place in July (which is the month I'm writing this).

most mushers do not recommend running dogs in harness over 50F. No your dogs are likely not an exception. All dogs can develop heat stroke.

HERE is a post with a helpful chart from the Australia Sledding Sports Association about how to determine a safe combination of humidity and heat to run in. (it is in Celcius, but the combination of what we walked in today was easily a 26 on this chart.)

Some mushers CAN train dogs during the summer. Those that are in much more arctic conditions where early am may sometimes be frosty this time of year are clear to do so. Although the Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Sled Dog Welfare Guide has some warnings about the risks running dogs in hot weather poses. Their description of heat stroke even mentions snow which, yes, is true. Sled Dogs can easily overheat even in snowy conditions. Even then though, the summer mushers i see (who are in like...the Yukon...) are regularly monitoring temperatures and not running when it is above 50F.

and look. I've been at the receiving end of weather temperature criticism myself. I once ran Sigurd and Zombie on a like...60F degree evening in summer as a novice and my mentor tore me a new one. I felt bad (and cried lol), but it is what it is and i never did it again. It's also why working with and/or seeking advice from sport veterans is important. I will also never stall or refuse to tell somebody they're posing a risk to their dogs, not only bc i care for their animals well beings, but because mushers pushing dogs like this does reflect badly on the sport.

The one thing i do to make sure i'm aware of how hot my dogs may be besides monitoring the temperatures? I overdress whenever i take them out.

Couldn't get out of bed because POTS and allergies were conspiring to kill me but have now taken extra propranolol for my haunted heart, albuterol for my lungs, Tylenol sinus severe, azelastine, fluticasone, and Afrin for upper respiratory congestion, drunk a pint of Gatorade, and eaten some salt & vinegar chips. We're getting there!!!

This is painfully me to comment on, but as someone who has, in fact, dropped and badly cracked their viola before, the scene in the finale where Belos destroys Raine's viola was too realistic. The hollow, slightly-musical "thud" of my instrument hitting the floor haunts my memory and the show managed to use a very accurate sound effect. My friends who were at the watch party with me can confirm I audibly wailed at the sound. Who on the crew was familiar enough with musical instruments to torment strings players.
