#Swimming is do cool

[sunnycanwrite]

Paralympic swimmer Barbara Gordon is an idea I hold very close to my heart. The way she'd find water as recovering, maybe she swam when younger. Was swimmer in highschool, used to pull her hair into swim caps, and go throw swimsuits much to fast.

So while trying to find something to hold on in the aftermath on her injury and there it is. She gets help, learning to adjust. To pull her self through the water again, new prescription goggles helping her along the way. It's hard, learning to swim after an injury. Even a broken arm takes recovery it gets it moving properly in the water. But she keeps going, runs tech at night, swims early in the morning.

She never thought swimming would mean much to her, not like this. But than there she is is. Transferring into the pool, a team USA cap on her head, and swims. Her arms pulling her through the water to victory.

my love letter to every queer person that came before:

it is because of seeing you that a teenager feels a little more comfortable in their skin. it is your joy and your love and your bravery and your authenticity that proves to queer kids that it will be alright. just living, just growing old is an incredible thing, and you are bringing so much more good into the world than you know.

I watched a seminar about scientific diving and got so excited and passionate and interested..and then my heart sank.

Ill never be able to do that will I?

Sure I may be able to do one diving trip once in a while, but to have it be my job, well its the same issue as doing surveys on land.

I feel so jealous of people who get to go and do those types of things. Who are living my dreams...with their strong and painless bodies. I'll always be stuck behind a screen, not doing what I'm most passionate about. Weighed down by pain and brain fog. I'll always be 10 steps behind everyone, no matter how hard I try. And like one diver said, they only take the best.

guys I still can’t believe that one day soon we are gonna see [+] LuzuVlogs back on the qsmp I’ve missed him soooo much. I really loved watching his qsmp streams in the early days. silly guy coming back can’t wait for him to meet new people!!

And the day I hear those beep boops of q!Arin…? oh you don’t even know. I will cry real tears I love them so dearly

If you’re new to Arin lore and wanna catch up before he comes back check this playlist, it’s only 3 VODS, and mostly reading. If you can’t read spanish here’s a tip: pull up google translate camera reader and point at the screen :D

all these horrible tumblr updates, but WHEN are we going to get an update that allows us to look at public tags in chronological order huh. i want there to be an acknowledgement & archive of media & blogs & such from the WAY back. i want to be able to see the VERY FIRST FEW SURVIVING POSTS of any given media ( TSP for one ) without having to dig around through old obscure blogs for it ( if so i can FIND THEM ), as fun as that is

I’m on mobile I can’t add this to my reblogs. Do you see this shit. Anyways this map calculates stuff assuming that you’re traveling at a constant speed (and on the current world) so the entire round trip is approximately 4 years but I’m imagining that aside from that stretch riding the current across the southern ocean there’s going to be frequent stops and they’re not going to be moving constantly so I could definitely stretch the reasonable travel time by more than that. Just one of the major Salmonid migration routes I was thinking could exist. This is not the one that comes by þ squidcountry

once in a while when i'm in the murderbot fandom tag i see a shark fin of ship discourse and i'm like wrow... i guess there's shipping out there. so anyways.

Thinking about my Rory goals again and its been a minute since I updated on her progress so here are some thoughts:

Tomorrow will be seven weeks of Rory! I've been working really hard to convince her to be a good citizen and we've had some big successes:

She is fully crate trained, very rarely if ever makes noise in her crate.

She is housetrained and fully understands how to ask to go outside. Only one accident since I've brought her home!

She sleeps really well and will put herself back to sleep if I'm not ready to get up (provided she doesn't have to go outside).

She can maintain her path walking past people on the sidewalk, some wiggles and staring but no attempts to jump on them.

She has never met a stranger and was excited to meet her vet, groomer, misc trainers, etc.

She is neutral to excited around strange dogs of all shapes, sizes, and behaviours.

She rarely alarm barks and her demand barking is way down.

She's eating reasonably consistently and understands how to ask for food.

She's a really cool dog and has a lot of potential. I've been thinking a lot about our goals for competition. I got her "as a friend to dabble with" so there's a tiny bit of pressure to perform, but not much.

I want to get her CKC CH since I've never had a show prospect and we have so many local shows (and lots of competition locally in the breed).

I want to run puppy stakes to learn more about CKC pointing field trials.

I want to work through the trick dog program as something easy and low pressure to do while she grows up.

So no huge goals for her first year or two. As for upcoming outings:

Confo debut at two semi-local shows at the end of March and beginning of April.

Field trial at the beginning of May (if they hold puppy stakes).

Big road trip at the end of May.

Local shows in June and August if we're feeling it.

So anyway, we have some plans but mostly we're just chilling. She's a cool little dog and I'm trying to keep the pressure off her.

Can't wait for the spring and summer though, it'll be so fun to get her out! 💜
