it's 1:30 am and after a month of peacefully enduring Interesting Times, trying to set up a new laptop is turning me into the joker.

every day i am spending money and having problems.

Moonpaw, I know you are a fictional character, but I am SO sorry people are being cruel to you.

While I'm on my soapbox I want to apologize to everyone who is the product of incestuous abuse who has to sit through shit like this. OH my god. I'm so fucking sorry.

Like, Moonpaw's not real and her feelings will never be hurt. But there ARE people whose parent was a victim of abuse who carried to term, either because of lack of access to abortion or just because they CHOSE to. It's super shitty that people are so casually cruel like this, where they say "your birth doesn't define you" and then turn around and make unfunny deformed cousin banjo jokes.

Sooo often in conversations like this, it's forgotten that there are REAL people who are just. Alive and existing. Incest specifically is a form of incredibly insidious and common abuse, this isn't a hypothetical, y'know??

so for your dragon aus, how do hoards work?

I typically see it as something that’s incredibly important to the dragon, that their instincts kinda latch on to it, and that becomes the thing they desire the most. The items (or people) they will collect and protect and feel the safest around! It hurts to lose a part of their hoard, and it’s hard to resist adding to the hoard. Being allowed near a dragon’s hoard, or even being allowed to HAVE a part of a dragon’s hoard (like Raph sharing plushies or Ink letting someone borrow a sketchbook) is an incredible sign of trust.

It’s a defining characteristic of them. If you look at their hoard, you know a lot about them already! Like what they cherish in life the most, and that may not always be the actual physical item itself.

For Nightmare, that was providing safety and companionship to others that struggled as well, because he didn’t have that. For Mikey and Ink, it’s artistic creativity and a comforting mindset. Life admires the beauty in nature itself and all that life has to offer. Dream and Raph have comforting items to help with overwhelming pressure/emotions, that they can also hope to bring comfort to others as well! And so on and so forth.

That’s a hoard to me ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Yes! When Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome was discovered, the working collie people said it was a "show-only" disease. They blamed the ANKC and NZKC. Then it showed up in Aussie and kiwi working dogs, so the disease became a "Aussie" thing. The goalpost shifted when North Americans reported the same in their working dogs, then British working BC lines started blaming everyone but themselves. Turned out TNS is rampant in ISDS-only lines in the UK as well.

I'm not super up to date on everything border collie these days (because oh lord...) but this is not the first time I've heard of this and not the first time, even recently, I've had some in depth discussions on breeders waving away health problems as "random" or "not in their lines" or whatever.

I think the hard thing is for purebred dog people is 1.) breaking that cycle of thinking about genetic diversity and 2.) taking responsibility for the genetic issues bred into dogs (because much of purebred dog breeding is upheld on either preservation of improvement of said breed) and 3.) lots of us, myself included, like purebred dogs for their predictable conformation and temperament and even doing breeding of the same breed, but as unrelated as one can get in a closed gene pool, can sometimes provide unpredictability.

I really wish that purebred dog people would focus less on the consistency of dogs beauty and conformation, but their longevity. A dog that does not meet the standard perfectly, but still has good temperament and has a long life span should be considered a breed worthy success imo (note that i understand the ISDS does have more a focus on working/trial ability than conformation bred BCs and have a greater diversity of looks, but that I still find them very recognizable specifically as ISDS BCs looks-wise).

I'm just ??? about someone else's anon trying to pull ISDS information out of their ass. This do is a fully registered ISDS border collie, he is the grand sire of Ever. He is ALSO a ROM border collie, meaning he doesn't have a complete pedigree, but is a full rights registered member of ISDS because he passed the herding test required. Not only that, but IMO border collie tend to be in the lower end of COI numbers. Even Ripley, who is HEAVILY line bred on a single male is DNA tested to have a COI of 23% per Embark. For comparison, Echo had a 12% COI per Embark.

I think they were really betting on Dream holding back and just being like “no :/“ and not just going out and be like “fuck it. Receipts here” and now they go surprised pikachu face that they can’t walk over the internets favorite cc punching bag

I found a old cyberdeck in my attic… says it belonged to Spliff SkyWalker…

[junkie-virus]

anyways. i have been feeling vaguely unsatisfied with media. mainly queer media . i dont know it all feels the same. of course maybe i could widen my horizons though i dont know where to start but im kind of tired of the halfway-redonating. i can never really fully resonate with any queer media because it only wver focuses on one identity in a way i can’t relate to because mines are heavily influenced by one another . only ever gay/bi. only ever trans. only ever white. only ever allo. etc etc

I’ve recently discovered this radio comedy. It is by no means new (2005 - 2006) and there are only 12 episodes so I’m trying to drip feed myself with it.

It is a cracking cast (as you can see) and is very much a dry humour rather than laugh out loud.

It’s set at Cambridge University. A man dies, seemingly naturally, but the Master doesn’t believe it so calls in Simon (Sam West) to investigate. Simon is bored with his job as a health and safety exec, eternally snarky, and determined to solve the murder that nobody else thinks happened whilst also trying to get back with Zoe (Sharon Small) his ex. Meanwhile Gilbert (Geoffrey Palmer), the Dean (Michael Maloney, Bernard (Jonathan Coy), and Patricia (Rebecca Front) all involve themselves in the competition to become the new Master when the old one dies suddenly.

If dry British humour is your thing, I’d recommend it. With a cast like that how can you go particularly wrong?

You can get it on iTunes and Audible I think.

[rosicheeks]

It's obvious. You're high and horny and hungry for a dick in your mouth. Rosi you're cute trying to be coy like that

...I hate Everbreed, lmao. I don't think I'm going to renew my subscription this year. They can't seem to do anything right.
