Max was furiously scratching at the patio door so we let him out, foolishly thinking that he had to go pee.

No! Of course not! How silly!

He just wanted to lay down on the patio and cook himself in the hot sun.

I don't hear dyscalculia talked about much but it's life ruining.

Every time I ever tried counting to 100 I'd always end up skipping a bunch of numbers.

Counting, addition, subtraction are all difficult.

I can't use multiplication or division or any complex math. God forbid you add letters in there.

I was always way too early for everything or incredibly late. Sometimes comically late.

Numbers time amounts, it all means nothing to me. Less then nothing, I can't imagine it at all.

It's embarrassing to say the least that it takes me, an adult, on average about 5 mins to likely incorrectly answer 6x8.

If I ever thought I got the answer right first try my previous failures at even the most basic math causes me to second guess myself and then get it wrong anyway.

I tried so hard to get anything other then an F and detention for being so incapable of doing math in school. I eventually just stopped trying. I resented math because I didn't get it.

I dropped out in 8th-9th grade because I was being let off easy the past years and "made up" my failing grades in summer school every year I attended school, until they decided to just hold me back in class, attempted to put me in special education, and made me to drop out of band class because I kept failing math so incredibly bad. I just couldn't do it anymore. I dropped out. I tried to get my G.E.D. 3 times before I gave up.

It still haunts me to this day how some math teachers were so unwilling to find a diffrent way to teach me instead of just punishing me for my incompetence. It was unfair how many times I got left in class alone while everyone played or even went to lunch without me because I was stupider then everyone else.

I'm irrationally afraid of even trying to interact with the subject. The mental blockade my anxiety about it makes everything worse too.

Though a love for worldbuilding has me pulling up the calculator some days. And nothing a good old timer can't fix time blindness and some time related anxieties. It still sucks man. We have got to be nicer to dumb people. I'm being so genuine. If someone's bad at something maybe find out why and help them instead of being a dick about it.

reblog and put in the tags the earliest songs you remember actively liking as a child (asking adults to play them for you, learning the lyrics, being excited when they came on the radio etc.)

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

“average scientific name contains 5 vowels" factoid actualy just statistical error. average scientific name has 0 vowels. Aaaaba Georg, who lives in cave & contains over 10,000 vowels, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

My mom took Jack to the vet to get his nail trimmed and get blood drawn so he can start heartworm meds for this year and I decided to walk Max by myself.

I rarely walk the dogs by myself and my mom was like "You should stay home and just play with the flirt pole, I don't want you by yourself because of all the other dogs in the neighborhood"

We have had incidents where dogs have:

Pushed open the front door

Run out of their yards

Jumped OUT OF THE WINDOW OF THEIR HOUSE

But Max didn't want to play with the flirt pole so I was like "lol I'll just simply avoid those areas."

I took him for a walk thru an apartment complex where we used to live, where nothing has ever happened.

Anyways I walked past a parked car and as it turns out, two dogs were in it! With the windows rolled down!

And then there was only one dog in the car because the other one jumped out of the fucking window!

It looked some kind of border collie mix, it had the B&W pattern but it was very big and solid looking.

Thankfully it was nice and just wanted to sniff Max. I just sort of looked down at it and went "Uh." and then on the other side of the car I see this lady pop her head up.

She was sitting on the ground doing something so maybe she put the dogs in the car to chill and get fresh air instead of just putting them on a tie out??? Idk

She caught her dog and put him back in the car and I quickly left because I figured that if I didn't he would jump out again lmao

Jack is such a freak dfjhjdg

Whenever he sees a bug he runs at it and then LAUNCHES his entire body at it. All four feet off the ground, mouth open, hurtling forward.

He was trying to eat a big fat bumblebee yesterday and I thought for sure he was gonna throw himself into the fence. He just hurls himself at stuff with zero concern over what's in front of him (fences, brick walls, plants, etc.)

Maxwell has thankfully learned to leave bees alone. I remember last year he was in my mom's flower garden and there was a bumblebee and he was just staring at it so intensely and watching it fly around lmao.

Jaguar refs from @animalphotorefs

It has been 24 days but I am finally done with this stupid lineup. I do have a file with all of them lined up nicely together but tumblr refuses to upload it so! You get individual pictures!

Usually I color lineart but on the dawn of the 24th day I opened this file and went, "God I can't do this anymore. Just color the lines black."

Anyways, I wanted to figure out how the sphinx in my comic look and finalize some character designs.

All of the sphinx have names that are basically reverse riddles, where they go by the answer in their day-to-day life, and only their family, close friends, and partners get to learn the riddle behind their name.

From left to right:

Valiente - The brother of Dorado, an adventurer and treasure hunter of great renown. He used to travel with his brother, but now he travels alone, always on the hunt for the next great adventure.

Dorado - Named for his golden fur, Dorado is a retired adventurer and treasure hunter. He used to travel the world with his brother but after getting Patience pregnant, he decided to settle down and raise his daughters. Not that he had much choice after Patience left. His coloration is based on a strawberry (erythristic) leopard.

Patience - A princess of the Andadia kingdom, Patience's brother (who is not pictured here) was the heir to the throne. When her daughters were very young her brother and her nephew were killed by a wyvern, and she mysteriously vanished shortly after their deaths, refusing to tell Dorado where she was going.

Luck - Daughter of Dorado and Patience, and captain of the Royal Andadian Navy. In her father's culture, being born with black fur is considered lucky, and in her mother's culture, black fur is considered unlucky. She had a rough childhood, with her peers viewing her as bad luck and blaming her any time something went wrong. She became obsessed with luck and now constantly wears good luck charms, and performs little luck rituals (like knocking on wood) before doing anything important. She needs to get tested for OCD but she refuses to go to the doctor.

Fortune - Daughter of Dorado and Patience, and her sister's complete opposite. Where Luck is outspoken, brazen, and crass, Fortune is quiet, calm, and polite. She usually doesn't speak unless spoken to first, and she often replies in very short sentences. She has a very strained relationship with Luck, and at the time of the comic they haven't seen each other in many years.
