hi daniiiii <3

how are you? i hope you're doing good.

first of all a 22k chapter?? you're really doing the gods work huh. it's very very appreciated. and also the single dads au had me giggling and kicking my feet IT WAS SO CUTE OMFG.

it's exam season again at my school. french and german this week, maths and english in the next. and believe me, i've never analyzed so many poems in the span of three days ew ew ew

(which is why i couldn't help noticing that 'french fucker' is a beautiful alliteration. true art.)

Nah but even with all these exams, I'm suprisingly chill. I've just recently distanced myself from a friend who has become extremely toxic over the years. She fetishizes queer men, has no regard for the rest of the community cause she's cishet, made shit comments about my therapy journey, said the n-word (she's not black) and constantly misgenders and deadnames a good friend of ours.

His name is Milo, they use he/they pronouns and they're a wonderful person. He came out a few weeks ago. And some slip-ups are acceptable and normal, as long as you learn and apologize. I mean, you can just practice pronouns if you're having problems. On paper. It takes no effort at all. But my friend even makes jokes about deadnaming them and doesn't respect him at all. I've known her for a very long time, so distancing myself was really difficult, but I just feel more free now. I met a lot of new people who are really good for me, so good riddance to her. We still talk, but I just can't be as close to her as I once was.

anyways my whole inner friend circle now consists of queer people. we really come in packs don't we 😬

so yeah that was me rambling hehe <3

SO MANY EXAMS! I hope you are keeping well 🥺

I'm glad to hear that you are handling it well. Life gets surprisingly chill after you cut off toxic people from it.

I had a very similar experience where one of my closest friends turned out to be transphobic (and racist?). I was so surprised to see that I didn't notice it before - or maybe I thought 'it was a joke'. But then it got to a point where it was absolutely unacceptable and I cut him out and honestly I have zero regrets.

I'm so proud of you for doing this. It's always harder to set boundaries and call out people we're close to and friends with. But those are the most important ones to call out. Because when we don't, we become complicit in their awful behavior.

I'm proud of you! Really!

PS - My inner circle is also a bunch of queer hoes. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

GOOD FOR US, ROSA!

Good luck with the rest of the exams 🤍

Hellow <3

How are you doing Dani?

I've recently been catching up on all the chapters you posted this and last week (there were so many. how do you manage to write so much you machine).

I have a very bad cold tho :( My head hurts all the time and I can't really form any clear thoughts, which is why I'm just saying hi for now. I'll send you some other asks when I'm feeling better <3

anyways. gracing you with another picture of my cat because she's gorgeous

byebye 💫

Are you a really good photographer or is your cat just THAT photogenic? I demand answers.

I genuinely have no idea how I write so much. At this point, it's almost like another job.

It's flu season everywhere right now. So, I hope you are being careful. I hope you feel better! Drink hot fluids! TEA! DRINK TEA!

My December is jammed packed. But I'm kinda thinking of running away for a quick holiday. Somebody send me the energy to do it. I'm too tired to plan a getaway lol.

Sending love!!!

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE 5.10 — Game Night

[anthonysperkins]

It Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Society in Which He Lives (1971) dir. Rosa von Praunheim

[montereybayaquarium]

Remembering Rosa the sea otter

Hello Aquarium family. It’s with great sadness that we share that our beloved sea otter Rosa passed away today. At 24 years old, Rosa was the oldest resident otter at the Aquarium and one of our most experienced surrogate moms, having raised 15 stranded sea otter pups in her time with us. 

While Rosa spent the last few months behind the scenes getting extra special care from our staff, she was the matriarch of the Sea Otters exhibit. Beloved and cherished by millions of visitors and fans of the live Sea Otter Cam, she was instantly recognizable thanks to her blonde head (eclipsed only by Ivy as our most grizzled of kelp grizzlies) and her signature head-all-the-way-back swimming style.

“Rosa was one of our most playful sea otters, and even at 24 years old, she would still be seen frolicking and wrestling with the younger otters when she instigated it,” said Melanie Oerter, curator of mammals. “Rosa was usually found sleeping against the window while on exhibit with her chin tucked tight into her chest and her tail swishing back and forth.”

After being found stranded as a four-week-old pup in September 1999, Rosa became part of the Aquarium family before our sea otter surrogacy program even took shape. Our Sea Otter Program staff raised her by hand for nearly seven months before releasing her to the wild. 

Rosa eventually returned to the Aquarium once again in March 2002 when she didn’t take to life outside of human care, and she immediately became a fixture in the formative years of our sea otter surrogacy program as a caring adoptive mother for rescued pups destined for wild release.

She was a delight to work with, though she certainly had her expectations of our staff according to the many Sea Otter Mammalogists who trained (were trained by?) Rosa over the years. 

"Rosa was an incredibly smart otter! Generally calm and patient with the staff. However, she could be defiant at times and there would be no convincing her to do something she did not want to do," said Oerter. "She would often just look at us or swim away. I believe she was the one who was really training us all of these years. I certainly learned a lot from working with such an incredible otter. It has been a privilege and to say we will miss her is understated."

Rosa relaxed into retirement from surrogacy in 2019, acting as a companion and cornerstone in the ever-changing raft of otters in our care. 

Wild female sea otters live between 15 and 20 years, and reaching the age of 24 is a testament to the exceptional care Rosa received throughout her life from our Veterinary and Animal Care teams. In recent years, she began showing signs of age-related health concerns.  In the last few weeks, her health had been deteriorating. After an exam, the veterinary and animal care teams made the difficult choice to humanely euthanize Rosa because those health conditions were compromising her quality of life. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her caretakers.

Rosa’s legacy lives on both at the Aquarium with our other resident sea otters Kit, Selka, Ivy, and Ruby, and in the wild, where sea otter pups she raised continue to raise pups of their own, contributing to the recovery of their species and their ecosystems along the California coast. 

Rosa was an inspiration to millions as a charismatic ambassador for her threatened species while playing a leading role in the story of sea otter recovery from near-extinction during the fur trade. Rosa will be greatly missed by all of us who got to know her over the years.

To celebrate Rosa’s long life, please feel free to share photos and stories of your encounters with Rosa at the Aquarium in the comment section on this post, in her memory and for the staff and volunteers grieving her loss. Thank you all for being such a big part of Rosa’s life. 🦦♥️
