So I am a firm believer in the concept of paying it forward, and after @forlorn-crows was kind enough to share my ko-fi info and so many people were willing to help with my move, it's my turn to do the same.

This time, it's for @st-danger (who I know will yell at me about this but OH WELL GET LOVED LOSER ♡)

We all know Saint. They're immensely talented, sweet, generous, and the reason a lot of us (including myself) are here in the first place! They're also having a rough time right now - I'm not going to share personal details, obviously, but suffice to say medical bills HURT.

I know we're all struggling, but please consider donating if you can! I will personally be making my own dontation, AS WELL AS matching up to $250 in donations from others. (Proof of this will be posted.)

This community has been wonderful to so many people in times of trouble, and I'm hoping we can do it again for Saint.

💜💜💜💜💜

Thinking about the possible aftermath between Tomura and Izuku after the war, and how Inko might feel about it

Like... You tried to kill my son multiple times. You held him hostage once. You tried to kill everyone. The attack from your villain group is the reason he isolated himself from the people who love him. I can't understand you. I don't think I want to understand you. How could you do all of this? Why did my son want to save you?

Why, in the end, did it work?

You're in this room with these heroes and I don't know anything about you but still I never imagined someone like you could look so small. I don't know what they plan to do with you. I don't know what to do either. I used to think you should leave us alone, locked up and shut away. But the way my son looks at you, the way he hangs onto the hope for your future, the way he looks even more changed after coming out of that final battle, I wonder if he wants there to be another way. I wonder if locking you away is the right thing

I offered cookies to my son. I only offered them to you because I felt obligated and nervous about what you would do if left out. I can't forget the look on your face when you took one and bit into it. You thanked me, quietly, and it was strange to me that a villain like you could behave in such a way

You look small again. You keep to yourself despite how rude you can be. You keep bringing out that video game device when you're bored and take up space anywhere you can, on the floor or on the couch, in people's way. There's paperwork to do, a pile they want you to fill out before going forward, and you're groaning like it's homework. You behave more like a teenager than a villain. You're more like a kid, sometimes

I made cookies again. This time I offer one to you because I want to. You take one and thank me before you even take a bite. It's like you already know they'll be good

I could have sworn I only had one son

Some jumping + conditioning resources for @wyrddogs

The Truth About Jumping by Carolyn McIntyre

This one doesn't get specific, but the last paragraph does explain the concepts behind conditioning for jumping and why it's important. She does mention that you need to target the front limbs, rear limbs, and core. That message I got there was conditioning all over will help, lol. From what I grasp, strengthening the front end helps with the forces from landing, while strengthening the rear will help add power to the take off. The core holds everything together.

Canine Conditioning Coach Video Library

You can sort the videos by using the tags. There are videos behind a paywall, but you can sort to find the free videos only. I think a lot of the beginner/foundation exercises are free. You can also sort by the body region the exercise targets as well. I feel like I need to make an obligatory mention of the FB group Canine Conditioning and Body Awareness. CCC owner is also an admin on this group and sometimes will review videos. You could also search the group for discussion about jumping related exercises. What I think is really cool about her site is that if another program has an exercise your dog is struggling with, you can see if there's a foundation level video available on CCC that might help you build up to that other exercise.

Movement Puzzles

Not specifically jump related, but I do think Mud had a lot of fun with this concept and I did notice his coordination improved while working on them. I need to get back into it. I think there are videos on her FB page that can give you ideas. The foundation 2 Bowl Game is free. I paid for the class (after she changed it to lifetime access, lol) and never worked through it it as written. I just sort of got the concept and ran with it.

Focus on Jumping by Bobbie Lyons on Clean Run

This appears to be a purely conditioning based self study course on Clean Run. Just the list of skills the class says it will address gives you an areas and movements you can work on. I think I actually had this class bookmarked at one point for Mud when it was only on Bobbie's website. I believe that was a working class with no audit option, so it cost more and I didn't see myself following along when I didn't know if Mud was sound. Now it's on my radar again.

I follow a good chunk of canine fitness or rehab pros on FB and other dog sport people sometimes share stuff. I saw this two part webinar series shared a couple weeks ago. Like I said in my comment, I was having a hard time thinking of things that weren't behind a paywall. There seem to be plenty of those. I'm going to guess that's partially the fitness trainers protecting themselves. They don't want people saying they found this exercise plan on the internet and then it injured their dog. Most of them will only work with sound dogs. I think some of the conditioning pros might have a video or post here and there that get a little more specific on their FB, but trying to track them down would be challenging.

Edit: I also feel like I should mentioned that you shouldn't feel like you need to buy all kinds of inflatable equipment. I honestly use board like items the most. I actually picked up a couple of these things (not this exact brand, but same item) after someone posted about them and they get used the most. They happen to be wide enough for Mud to sit on, but not really long enough, so I really should make boards, but we've been making due with what I've got. Any exercise is better than nothing.

Anyway, England can make football history this year and win the first ever Women's Amputee World Cup!

They're fundraising to send the players there - which covers flights, kit, crutches, everything - as they don't get funding from The FA or anywhere else.

Here's a link to donate 🙌 They have some incredible players, incredible people and amazing stories.

Help be part of England bringing a World Cup home this year! 🏆❤️

My audiobook is now live! Enjoy!

the impossible nuance between “don’t treat fascists with kiddie gloves” and “deprogramming fascists successfully usually involves validating some of their grievances because many do successfully identify at least one legit societal issue and that’s your loose end to begin unraveling the knot with, and you have to do it gently because if you drop the Socialism word on day one it’s over and hostility just makes them less receptive”

like i think the former is definitely true at a fascist congregation, you need to meet them head-on as a herd. but if you’re alone at work with only Bill the dumbfuck and he says something stupid it’s much more productive use kiddie gloves and try prodding away at his belief system bit by bit. my partner has had success deprogramming people with this partial-agree, commie buzzword-free tactic over extended periods of time and coaxing some class consciousness out of them

I just wanted to bleh about something cuz I’m sobbing hard as i type this.

So a lot of yall might not know but I work for an NGO. These past few weeks Ive been so low and heartbroken and yesterday I accidentally channeled the sad while speaking to the head of a very important cargo company.

I told him about the sacrifices, ones that i wish could have been different so that they didn’t cause so much pain. I might have sounded so sad that i might have tugged on this old mans heart strings.

He said “the love this ngo has for their community, the sacrifices, the passion, we would love to be a part of this. We would also love to do this for free.”

I swear my heart stopped for a moment when he said that and I started to cry.

Today, my vaccines were flown safely and for free over the sea so that underprivileged girls can get the free vaccine.

My heart has never been so full 💗

This is what glory feels like…
