when you call to book an appointment with your doctor, please for the love of FUCK be honest about why you’re coming in

not only does this allow us to book you an appointment of an adequate length so your doctor doesn’t try to escape before you’ve gone over everything you need, but it keeps us from falling behind so other patients’ appointments aren’t running late and they’re not taking it out on the staff at the desk

PWHL overtime 3-3 is more exciting to watch than NHL overtime 3-3.

I’m surprised by how few people appreciate Sam's arc and how many erase him being Jack’s dad in season 13? Setting up how his powers effect him in season 12 with Magda was like FINALLY the writers give a crap instead of being lazy and forgetting his trauma and potential as a witch. Sam helping with Jack’s powers was important for them both! Sam was there since day one and made an effort bc he didnt want his son to feel scared and confused like he did.

Tripod Open Species Masterpost Tumblr Ver. AKA I made another Open species!

This time they're based on something from my favorite Science Fiction book The War Of The Worlds, the Tripods!

Here's some info about em

Tripod naming convention:

There are three different ways to name a Tripod, these are naming it after an aspect of their nature like Trill or Mosquito, naming them after the shape of their "hood" like Brodie, Adrian, Jolly & Pickel. & lastly naming them based on the shape of their main body like Bulb, Henry & Dud.

Tripod biology:

Tripods are an Arthropod-like species denoted by their exoskeletons being of an unknown high-entropy chitin metal composite.

They seem to incorporate a form of reverse biomimicry, where instead of a machine attempting to emulate a living organism it is an organism attempting to emulate a mechanical or inorganic structure, said structure they seem to most often emulate being water towers.

Most Tripods seem to have something known as Gathering spawn, small squat pentapidal miniature versions of the Tripod. It is unknown if Gathering spawn are Tripod offspring or some other species that formed a symbiotic relationship with the Tripods, as no Tripod offspring have ever been observed.

Tripod origins:

The origins of the Tripods are unknown, they first appeared around the world almost all at once in 2002, however through samples of dead Tripods & recovered bits of exoskeletal sheddings shows that most Tripods were born between 1979-2002.

There are three current theories on the origins of the Tripods

#1. They are a man-made species created by unknown means.

#2. They Naturally evolved this way & only recently been discovered.

#3. They are not native to Earth & are extraterrestrials.

Tripod intelligence:

Tripods seem to have an intelligence on par with humans, while in groups they tend to communicate to one another via their own language but are capable of learning human languages.

Tripod relations with Humans:

While Tripods seem to have a neutral opinion on humans they can often form emotional bonds with them, often seeing them as friends or companions.

Misc info:

Tripods height wise are on average between 10 feet tall to 45 feet tall, though some mutations can cause a Tripod to be hundreds of feet tall.

Despite their organic nature Tripods are able to emit concentrated infrared light via an organ located in their left hand.

Tripods have spiracles (nostrils) located typically underneath their "hoods".

finished watching cub's s6 last night and that was so much fun. i know it's scarily long but if you want a new perspective of s6 or maybe haven't seen it before i'd totally recommend watching cub - he built so much cool stuff, games and technical stuff and so much just for the sake of storytelling too! the civil war, area 77, all the golf (he's so excited about the golf guys i'm telling you it's awesome to see), the rise of concorp, demise (cub was insane in demise like oh my god)... there's so much and it is so cool

putting some random screenshots i took while watching here :D

I read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series for the first time in 2010

I was 18/19 at the time and definitely not the target demographic for the novels, but I was HOOKED from the first page.

I flew through the first five books as fast as I could, as well as the sequel series, Heroes of Olympus, as fast as it was releasing at the time.

Outside of the main Percy and friends narration, I haven't read much of Rick Riordan's work, but I'm trying to change that. I've owned the Kane Chronicles since release, and Magnus Chase was added to my collection over time. With the recent addition of the Trials of Apollo box set, I've finally completed my collection (yes, I'm including Chalice of the Gods and The Sun and the Star) and can't wait to read my way through the Riordan-verse once again.

From December to the beginning of February, I picked my way through Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and while I can't find a clear timeline of the whole universe, I found a few blogs that say The Kane Chronicles should come next, so here we are.

My 32-year-old self is enjoying the magic and mystery of these books as much as I did in my teens and twenties, I'm not going to lie. People may shy away from books in the Young Readers category, but they're just as (if not more) entertaining as any Young Adult, New Adult, or General Fiction book I've ever read.

I implore anyone who likes fantasy fiction to give the books a try, especially if you're looking for something lighter and fast paced.

Good things today and in the coming weeks:

Caught up with a friend over lunch.

Made plans with same friend to do a Ladies Night at the local pottery place on Friday. It includes mocktails and desserts.

Have plans with a close coworker/work-peer and her wife to go to a hockey game on Saturday, for Pride Night. The tickets for them to come are my late wedding gift for them.

We signed Ringo up for an advanced training class - and got $55 off with the last coupon the trainer had for any class. I suspect there’ll be some overlap with things he already knows, but he’ll enjoy it and it’s good to keep him busy. Plus it’ll mean if the place ever gets the okay for doing the therapy class, he’ll be good to go!

I’m feeling better today than yesterday.

I don’t have any plans tomorrow except to perhaps take Ringo for a walk at the lake, cause the weather should be nice (chilly but sunny) and I want to enjoy the nature and weather. Might even just take myself for a walk along the nature trail, which doesn’t allow dogs. We’ll see.
