Kindly take a break from scrolling to read this, it's important.

Take your time to grieve and come to terms with the election results, but once you've done that, it's time to get to work. We have two months. And a lot to do in that time. We have to prepare, to be ready.

Be careful about what you post or say online. Anything potentially incriminating should be avoided. Threatening language, even if clearly a joke, can be used against you.

Know someone who's trans? Someone who's had an abortion? Someone who's LGBTQIA+? Someone who's an immigrant? Someone who attends protests? Someone who's disabled? Someone who might in any way be at risk due to laws being put into place? No you don't.

Move away from social media platforms and browsers that require you to use your real identity or input a large amount of personal information. Now's a good time to find alternate means of communicating online. Tails, Element, Tor, Mastodon, Firefox, and Lemmy are all decent options.

Find a community. Someone you can talk to, either online or in real life, that you'll have reliable contact with. We need to try and create a network, but one that's as anonymous as possible.

Start scrubbing your trail as much as possible. Get rid of old accounts that can still be traced to you but are no longer used, delete personal data off the internet. There are websites out there that will freely remove your data from the internet, but be careful about which one you use, make sure it's safe and legitimate first.

Change any usernames that you can that contain any personal information. Names, birthdays, anything.

Plan B has a four year shelf life. Stock up, but don't take more than you you'll need. We don't want a COVID repeat where everyone buys an excessive amount of things and leaves none for everybody else.

There are doctors that will sterilize you, if that's the way you want to go.

Stop using online period trackers right now. Delete all data from it if possible first, then delete the app itself. If you must, write it down, but in a subtle manner and on something you keep at home. Don't label it, just put the dates. If you're really worried, discard older records and only keep the most recent few, and label the dates as other random events, like "go to mall" or "chicken salad for dinner this night"

Get your vaccines now.

Save money.

Archive. We have to start collecting records, media, data, books, and articles now. On racism, on fascism, on homophobia, on gender, on self-reliance, on survival, on safe travels routes, on equality, on justice, on anything that may be useful and/or censored soon. We can't let them erase it.

Collect those online resources. Bookmark them, copy files into your storage, Screenshot pages. Create a decentralized library where everyone is working to be part of a whole, storing what they can individually and sharing it between one another. Again, be careful about doing this.

Second-hand bookstores are your best friend. Books are usually very cheap in them, and they often have a decent stock. See what you can find.

When buying ANYTHING I have mentioned above, or anything else that maybe put you in danger, try to use cash to reduce your spending trail.

Check your car information online, many newer models can be remotely tracked.

Turn your phone completely off if you may be at risk due to your location and current activities. Turning off your GPS also helps.

Take note of where you are. Who are your friends? Who's a safe person? Where can you go besides your own home that you know you'll be safe? Establish these connections now.

Who around you is not safe? Who and where do you need to avoid? Do you need to move? If you cannot afford moving but need to, there are fundraisers that can help you. If even that is not an option, at least try to make sure your home is secure. Have someone who can help you. Have a fallback safe place.

And finally, I want anyone with resources to put them in the replies. Flood it with useful links, information, tips, anything. We're in this together. Do not panic. Organize.

EDIT: Please be civil in the replies.

Stan & Kenny South Park Headcanons ♡

Feeling a bit stuck so here are some headcanons about Stan and Kenny specially from my kyman fanfic "Be Nice to Me" ^^

🧡 Kenny's been working overtime while attending school since he turned 14. He gets paid under the table for most of it.

🧡 He saved up just enough to buy a really run down, beat up, used car. It's a stick shift and requires a ton of repairs.

🧡 He learned a lot about mechanics in order to save money and not have to take it anywhere to get fixed.

🧡 He learned how to drive stick shift and how to fix a car through YouTube.

🧡 He takes and picks up Karen from school. He also pays for all of her school supplies and encourages her to pick up extracurriculars.

🧡 Kenny doesn't have to study in order to get good grades in school. He barely has to do his homework either. As long as he listens to the lectures and skims through the material, he’ll pass. If he didn’t work overtime then he would be highly ranked in their year.

🧡 Kenny barely sleeps 4 hours a day. 5 on a good day.

🧡 He plans to keep working at the same pace and go to a trade school. Once he is more settled and his sister is an adult able to stand on her own, he might go back to school but he doesn't really stress about it and prefers living day by day then worrying about the future.

💙 Stan loves writing and listening to music. He's very big into metal, rock, and Midwest emo right now.

💙 His extracurriculars are football and he's co-captain of the board game club along with Nichole.

💙 He's an average student, usually getting C's, a B here and there, and a D if he doesn't study enough.

💙 He's terrible at multitasking. He's a very forgetful person.

💙 Wendy and Kyle constantly have to remind him about deadlines and big projects.

💙 On his 16th birthday, his dad gave him his hand me down pick up truck.

💙 Tolkien comes over often and they do homework together. He helps Stan with math a lot.

💙 Stan and Kyle still consider themselves best friends even if they don't live right next door.

💙 Crimson Dawn meets up often, practicing at Stan's since they can be as loud as they want there.

💙 Sometimes friends like Kyle, Wendy, Timmy, and Tolkien come over to just hang out with the others and watch the band practice.

💙 Stan and Wendy have been off and on since elementary school. It's obvious when they're not dating since Stan sometimes relapses back into his goth phase.

💙 Stan and Tolkien have hooked up on a few occasions when Stan and Wendy broke up.

💙 Tolkien has also dated Wendy on more than one occasion.

💙 Stan is the type of kid that casually gets along with every “clique” in school since he doesn't really have beef with anyone. He's a very chill guy who often reacts pretty indifferently to most things.

~ Hozier, "Who We Are"

@rowaelinscourt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night had fallen over Doranelle when Aelin finally pulled off the interstate and slowed down as she drove up the ramp and turned into the slumbering city. The streets were nearly deserted save for a handful of other late-night drivers, probably travelers like herself, their vehicles chugging quietly through the gentle drizzle drifting from the skies. The light rain dusted a soft sheen of crystals all over the city; the drops glittered faintly in the yellow hues of the streetlights.

After what felt like an eternity, Aelin turned into the parking lot of a simple brownstone building whose sign labeled it "Mistward Hall Bed & Breakfast -- Your Home Away From Home." She found an open spot, parked her car, turned off the engine, and exhaled a soul-deep sigh of pure relief.

For at least a snatch of time, she was safe.

She glanced into the backseat, eyes locking on the small figure slumbering peacefully in the bright purple booster seat that had been installed in the car after multiple screaming tantrums. Four-year-old Alanna Galathynius was fast asleep, her mussed blonde curls squished against the side of her head where she'd leant into the carseat's headrest, her little button lips dropped halfway open as she slept.

"Mama will be right back, my little love," Aelin whispered. Grabbing her purse, she ducked out of the car, locked it, and kept one eye on the vehicle for the whole of the three minutes it took her to enter the B&B, check in, and return to the car, which was conveniently parked right by the entrance. Lana was still there, still peacefully asleep.

"Come here, little love," Aelin murmured, carefully unfastening her daughter's seatbelt and lifting the small child into her arms. "Shh, lovey, it's alright, Mama has you." She cuddled her daughter close, whispering softly to her as she took the overnight bags out of the backseat, arranged them so she could carry both the luggage and her daughter, and headed inside.

It was only a short walk to the suite where she and Lana were staying for a few nights, and Lana was still fast asleep when Aelin unlocked the door, entered the room, and laid her daughter on the smaller bed. Gently, she unfastened and took off Lana's shoes and jacket, slid the barrette from her unruly hair, and decided not to try and change her into pajamas. "You're safe, baby, I swear it. Rest now, Lana love," Aelin murmured. She kissed her daughter's forehead and tucked her into bed. Within fifteen minutes, she too was burrowed into the comfort of a warm bed, and sleep claimed her almost as soon as she had closed her eyes.

~~

It started with a collision and a smile.

Aelin was twenty years old, a senior at Adarlan University thanks to AP credit and accelerated courses, and she was walking back to the campus apartment she shared with Elide, Lysandra, and Nehemia when she collided with a body that had come out of seemingly nowhere.

"Oh god! I'm so sorry," she gasped, stumbling over herself, her feet, and her words as she picked herself up and scrambled to collect the notebooks she'd dropped all over the sidewalk.

"No, no, it's all my fault for not paying attention to where I was going." The guy she'd just run into--a few inches taller than her, standard athletic build, brown hair, brown eyes, khakis and a fraternity polo shirt--offered her a charming smile. "I'm Chaol Westfall, and I have no sense of direction."

That got her to crack a smile. "I'm Aelin Galathynius, and I really need to look at my surroundings once in a while." She shook his hand.

They exchanged idle chatter for a few minutes before Chaol flashed another of those polished, charming smiles and hit her with the unexpected, but not unwelcome, question. "Could I have your number, Aelin? I know we've just met, but I really want to get to know you better. Maybe coffee? Lunch?"

The warm, tingly feeling of being appreciated and asked on a date spread through Aelin's limbs. "I'd like that," she agreed, typing her number into Chaol's phone. "I have an insane schedule, but I'm always free on Tuesday afternoons."

"Tuesday it is, then." Chaol's parting smile stayed at the front of her mind until their first date. Which turned into another date, and another, and studying at his frat house, and visits to her apartment, late nights and exhausted crashes and everything.

His only potential flaw was how oblivious he was to when she was really, deeply struggling. But Aelin hadn't spent years fortifying the barricades around her mind and memory for nothing.

~

She graduated, and he was there for her, smiling his whitened smile and holding her close to his side, the perfect proud boyfriend. She got a job in the city, and he offered to let her move into his townhouse, even declined her repeated attempts to contribute to the rent. Let me take care of you, he insisted.

Being young and foolish and fancying herself in love, she'd acquiesced. Lost in the throes of young love, of first love, she hadn't recognized the warning signs until it was too late.

"What do you mean, I shouldn't drive myself to work?" Aelin literally couldn't understand where Chaol was coming from. "Babe, I've been driving myself around in this city for years, and everything has been perfectly smooth and safe and fine."

"You don't understand, Aelin, babe," he sighed, rubbing one hand over his face in what appeared to be worry. "The crime downtown, it's grown so massively in these last few months--there was a goddamn scene only a few blocks from your office last week!" He grasped her hands, running his thumbs soothingly over her knuckles. "I can't keep going through my days wondering if you'll leave work and find your car stolen or broken into or compromised and if you'll never make it back home." The anguish in his voice, in his face, was so convincing.

She stepped closer and looped her arms around his neck. "I can change my parking permit to one for the garage. It's not that much more expensive, and it's definitely safer than street parking."

He shook his head, pulling her closer as if in protection. "It's still not enough, babe. I...I need to drop you off and pick you up, otherwise I'm afraid I'll go fucking insane."

"Babe," she whispered, sympathy glowing in her still-innocent eyes, "is that the only way you'll feel safe?"

"Yeah," he murmured.

Aelin exhaled deeply, choosing to cede this battle. "Alright. You can be my chauffeur."

"Thanks, babe." He kissed her gently. "It's for the best, it really is."

For a while longer, she believed it.

~

A little over a year after she moved in with Chaol, Aelin went out with Lysandra and came home to an empty house, which made her stop for a moment. For as long as she could remember, Chaol had been home whenever she returned from going somewhere, or he'd been the one going with her, so he was there with her when she returned. So, the empty house threw her for a loop.

As did the lingering stench of cheap beer.

Still, like she'd become accustomed to doing, Aelin texted her boyfriend once she'd set down her purse. I'm home, babe. Simple and direct, the little heart punctuating the sentence a reminder that she was there and waiting for him.

He didn't respond.

It was late, later than she wanted to be awake, when he half-stumbled through the front door, the faint but unmistakable sheen of alcohol glazing his eyes.

"Hey, babe," she greeted him, tentative.

He blinked, slowly adjusting to his surroundings. "Aelin? Babe? Where are you?" His speech was clearly enunciated--perhaps he wasn't that drunk after all.

"Right here," she responded, coming to stand in front of him. "I texted you when I got home, just like you want."

"How long were you'n Lys out?" The question was casually asked.

She shrugged. "Oh, probably longer than we meant to be, but I haven't seen her in ages since we've been so busy, and I--ah!"

The sharp, burning sting of his palm across her cheek stunned her into silence.

He stared at her with huge, disbelieving eyes. "I'm so sorry, babe," he breathed, immediately folding her into his arms and spilling apology after apology. "I'm so sorry. I think I'm drunk, I don't know why I did that, god I'm so sorry, babe." He went into the kitchen and grabbed an ice pack out of the freezer, wrapped it in a towel, and settled it gingerly against the blazing red imprint on her cheek. "I'm so sorry," he repeated.

She believed him when he said that, too. She kept believing him the next time, and the next time, and the next time. He loves me, she told herself as she concealed the bruises with artistic makeup and stylish clothing. He isn't himself. He's drunk.

Are you sure he isn't himself? pushed a tiny little voice in the back of her mind. Or are you just believing him because he'll hurt you worse if you disagree?

She told that insidious, dangerously true voice to go fuck itself. Even if it was right, even if she was making excuses for a boyfriend who was a completely different man now that he was when she'd met him two years ago, he was still her boyfriend, and he still loved her. He said so himself.

Then she found herself pregnant, and everything changed.

~

Aelin had resisted telling Chaol she was pregnant for as long as she possibly could, both out of fear that he would react badly and out of her lingering worry that she had inherited her mother's fertility struggles and might lose the pregnancy. When she made it to the second trimester, though, she couldn't wait any longer, and she told her boyfriend. She was terrified, shaking with nerves the whole time.

Chaol was floored with shock, but he reacted surprisingly well. He swore that he'd clean himself up, that he'd stop going out to clubs and bars and parties with his old frat brothers, that he'd become the man and father he needed to be.

Pretty words. Empty lies, all of it.

At six months pregnant, with her heart just about ripping out of her chest, Aelin broke up with Chaol and moved out of his townhouse into Elide's apartment. He'd tried to sober up--for about two weeks, and then he'd chosen the party life over his girlfriend and unborn child. He'd come home wasted out of his mind. He'd...he'd hurt her, and he'd been completely callous to the horror that he could have hurt the baby.

So she left.

And he followed.

He followed her to work, where he cajoled her with pretty, plaintive words to come back home. He followed her to her new neighborhood, where he pleaded with her not to cut him off from the girl he loved. He followed her on her errands, where he listed all the reasons he was sorry and how he'd do better if she just gave him one more chance. He followed her to the doctor's office when she had ultrasound appointments, where he begged her to keep him in the baby's life.

It took Lorcan Salvaterre--Elide's huge, hulking, and honestly rather terrifying boyfriend--to convince Chaol to stay the fuck away from Aelin, who clearly didn't want to see him any more.

A month before Lana was born, Aelin left Adarlan for good, telling no one, and flew back home to Orynth. She changed her phone number, her email address, deleted her rarely-touched Instagram account, bought a new laptop and wiped the old one clean before discarding it. Her cousin Aedion gave her his spare room, no questions asked, and provided the steady, stable support she needed during the last month of her pregnancy, through her birth, and through her recovery.

Over the flurry of months that turned too quickly into years, Aelin found herself slowly healing, the cracks in her fragile heart repaired with the love of her family and friends and the all-consuming love she bore for her daughter. She grew more secure; she laid aside the tension and anxiety that she'd turn around one day to find Chaol behind her, ready to barge back into her life and steal everything she'd come to love.

She should have known that he would hold a grudge.

~

"What the fuck are you doing here?" The words spilled out of Aelin in a breathless gasp.

Standing opposite her in the parking lot of the grocery store, Chaol lifted his hands to placate her. "I'm not here to cause any trouble, babe."

"Like hell you are." Her vehemence came as a surprise. "I'm not falling for your bullshit lies anymore, Chaol. Why are you here?"

His face hardened. "You've kept my daughter away from me for years, and you have the fucking nerve to ask me what I'm doing?" He laughed coldly. "She's mine too, Aelin."

"She will never be your daughter," Aelin hissed. "You forfeited any claim you might have had when you...when you ab-ab-abused me." The last words came out in a halting rasp.

"Don't be dramatic," he condescended. "I admit I've had troubles with anger management, but I would never consciously hurt the girl I loved, and I'd certainly never abuse her."

Her jaw slacked in disbelief. "You are such a liar," she breathed. He isn't worth your time, her inner voice reminded her, and so she breathed deeply and ended the interaction. "Go home, Chaol. Don't you ever step foot in my personal space again."

Chaol followed her to Aedion's house, because he just didn't know how to stop or when to take no for an answer. He stayed outside the house, too smart to pull into the driveway and trespass on private property, but too stubborn to admit defeat.

"I'm terrified, Aeds," Aelin admitted after dinner, curled up in a tight, tense ball on the couch. "He just...he's not going to just disappear."

"He will if I make him," Aedion growled. "Bastard."

"Language," she chided, shooting a sharp look at Lana, who was happily throwing foam blocks around the living room. "That's all kinds of illegal, Aeds."

"Legal and illegal don't matter when your probably-psychotic ex is stalking you, Aelin."

She was quiet, knowing that her cousin spoke the truth. "I won't let him force me to run."

"But you want to leave, anyway."

"Yes." She nodded, firmly. "Only for a little while. It'll be like a vacation, just me and Lana. It'll leave you and your...friends...free to handle the Chaol situation."

He propped his chin on one fist and latched his solemn gaze onto hers. "Are you sure, Ae?"

"I am." Despite the deep-seated fear glimmering behind her veil of conviction, Aelin's voice was strong.

"Okay." Rising, Aedion wrapped Aelin into a breath-stealing hug. Just soft enough for her to hear, he whispered one word into her ear.

Doranelle.

The mountain city was just over 500 miles away. It had been on Aelin's vacation bucket list for years, and she'd never made it out there.

"Lodging?"

"Here." He scrawled a phone number on a piece of scrap paper. "One of my buddies always rattles on about this place."

"Okay." She gave him a hesitant but genuine smile and headed down to her room to pack and make a reservation.

~~

Rowan had the night shift at the B&B that week, because he had stupidly gone and agreed to switch shifts with Enda. Lesson learned: never trust a man who says he prefers stay-home nights. Most guests came in and out during the daytime and early evening hours, though, so he didn't entirely mind the night shift. It was just a pain having to stay half-awake in case he was called to the front desk.

As if the thought had summoned it, the buzzer went off. Rowan suppressed a tired sigh and walked out to the reception desk, sliding a toned-down version of his customer service smile onto his face. That smile morphed into something damn near awe when he saw the impossibly beautiful woman waiting at the front desk.

He shook himself out of that highly unprofessional thought. "Hello."

"Hi." Through her exhaustion, the woman could barely muster a tiny hint of a smile. "I'm here to check in. Aelin Galathynius?" She held out her driver's license and credit card.

He typed the name into the computer and nodded. "Three nights, yes?"

"Yes."

"Perfect." He checked her ID. Aelin Galathynius, a poetically lovely name fit for such a stunning woman. "Do we have permission to keep this credit card on file for incidentals for the duration of your stay?"

"Yes."

"Thank you." He typed something else. "All right, Ms. Galathynius, you're all checked in." He passed back her ID and credit card and handed her a key--a real metal key. "You'll be in room 203."

"Thank you." She offered him another tiny, tired smile and went back out to her car. In a handful of minutes, she reentered, pulling two suitcases and a toe bag behind her. And carrying a fast-asleep little girl with the exact same hair and face structure as hers.

Rowan had seen a vast myriad of travelers passing through the B&B throughout the years his family had owned the place--families, single people, friends, students, commuters, the list was endless. He liked to think he'd grown proficient at reading the stories on the travelers' faces as they passed through; he liked to imagine what could have brought them to scenic, picturesque Doranelle.

The woman--Aelin--the exhaustion on her face and the tender protectiveness with which she cradled her child told a story Rowan had never wanted to see again. Hers was a story of pain that followed in her footsteps, but also of the incredible strength it took to push forward and of the powerful love she clearly had for her child.

He didn't know Aelin. He doubted he ever would know her, other than as a guest passing through the Whitethorn family's B&B.

In that moment, though, Rowan knew that he would do anything that that woman wanted, whether his actions would be known or not.

Even make the demons from her past disappear.

"Stay a while," he whispered after Aelin had gone upstairs. "It's safe here. You are safe here."

The Fearful Stigma of Herbs and Energy Known as “Witchcraft”

Witchcraft has an enormously stigmatized history. Ya know, burnings at the stake and whatnot. Growing up in the heart of the bible belt, I feel as though I’ll be burned just writing this.

A notoriously violent species, we are. Though the fact that it IS safe for me to write these words lends to the belief that we really are living in the safest time in written history.

Even if it doesn’t seem so.

Fear follows that which isn’t understood. And where there is fear, there is violence.

Understanding is what we should all be seeking in all things to remedy the conflicts of the world. BUT ANYWAY, let’s take a look at witchcraft and what it is exactly.

If you were able to travel back 1000 years and face someone of that time with the contents of your pockets, you would “Risk” (Emphasis on that word) be labeled a witch because you possessed a magical device with moving pictures upon it.

You recognize this as science. What is science but magic that we have studied enough to understand?

In a world where google doesn’t exist and understanding is based on the individual education level of the often scare resources of who you talk to, it’s easy to see where “magic” would be used to fill in the gaps of confusion.

Magic Vs Magick

“Magic” is Harry Potter. Flying cars and Unicorns.

“Magick” is science that is still eluding us. For what is science but the workings of the natural world? And all that is, is.

It ties together all aspects of life. The connection between the physical and nonphysical, all scientific and some unexplained.

Despite what limited beliefs we may tie to it’s definition and understanding. We don’t have to understand it for it to be true. Like a child who doesn’t have to understand the workings of technology for it to exist.

Witchcraft is the art and spiritual practice, often healing in nature, that ties it all together.

The Order of Healing

As discussed in the podcast episode above, healing is easiest accomplished in the order presented to us in Moslow’s Pyramid which can also be translated into the chakras.

The concept is that you must start at the bottom and secure a solid foundation before we’re able to build upon that base.

Witchcraft Through History

Other/older cultures / /civilizations revered witches as:

Leaders

Seers

Healers

Priests

Priestesses

Advisors

Teachers

Wise men/women

We could talk about Christianity and the effect it had on the world from a societal, cultural, philosophical point of view in a lot of directions but let’s save that for a podcast episode.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the crusades.

Anyway, enter politics, I’m sure. It’s all just “spicy psychology”, right?

Holding “powers” of knowing, understanding and working with the natural world required skills and knowledge often passed down from one “witch” to the next.

These people were the leaders of the village. Looked up to for their guidance and translations. They healed with their herbs, offered advice to the workings of community and were loved among their people.

Skills once celebrated began to be labeled witchcraft and demonized with the rise of the patriarchy and Christianity along with it. Including but not at all limited to:

Living in harmony with nature / the universe

Crystals

Herbalism

Meditation

Spirituality

Energy work

Midwifery

“old wives tales”

Living with the tides of the seasons, elements, cycles of the moon, etc

Side Notes

Patriarchy demonized women and the powers they held in these areas of natural science.

Media painted pictures of villans

Humans fear that which is different and mysterious (Men women and children killed for being different

Wicca is a whole religion. Some wiccans are witches. Not all witches are Wiccan.

The root “wic” or “wicca” means “wise”

Witches were seen as keepers of knowledge

“Wiche” – to practice witchcraft – old English

Lots of origins, barely varying

Phytoncides: antimicrobial compounds created by trees and breathed in by us during forest bathing.

[the-adventures-of-john-and-timmy]

Remember kids, don’t ever follow your dreams! Frequently, the you you are when you’re a kid is totally incapable of grasping just how fucking exhausting being an adult is, and will pick something cool and fun like astronomer or linguist or paranormal investigation. Conveniently not realizing that A) all of these things require so much more math than you were expecting, B) non of those majors are getting your bills paid, C) somewhere down the line you’ll get roped in to a “breath a word of this and you die” kind of government job trying to speak to some recently contained Xeno-sapiens, and despite having replaced your car battery just two months ago, you’ll end up stuck in the woods between your shitty job and your shitty house with nothing but your car keys to protect yourself from the giant alien pinning you to the dirt.

Stupid fucking back roads. No where to run. No serendipitous passerby. And no light save for the emergency flashlight John had dropped.

A long, lean and spined tail swished back and forth proudly, strong animal like legs were covered in mud -and what John could only hope was suspiciously red mud- a tattered pink shirt/dress covered most of the body yet still made visible the short and wet gray fur. Large pointed ears sat twitching about in blue green hair but the rest of the creatures face remained in shadows. Since joining his job he’s seen a lot of non earthly creatures, but this one did share some similarities with his current projects. Still he couldn’t be for sure without seeing the ey-

“Jhewehgerat Nu’gzhut Ho’kt Yiks,”

Or by hearing the language. The same language he’d been spending months trying to decode.

“Ho’kt Yiks Til’ete!” John shouted. It was his best version of “I am not a threat,” though the notion of John being a threat to a giant alien made of razor blades was probably pretty laughable.

Incidentally the creature did laugh. And laugh. And laugh. The damn thing howled with laughter so strong he fell over on his side, clutching his ribs. Unbeknownst to John the cultural connotation of his words made his sentence closer to “I’m a widdle smol boi,”.

John watched frozen, unsure if moving would break the spell, when Elns words of warning came back to him.

Extremely friendly and playful.

Even the three in custody -who were all on a decent amount of sedatives at all times- showed a strong desire to play, though each one did prefer a different kind.

The largest (who had actually given John the human nickname Brad to refer to him as) liked to play cards. John had gotten the most work done with him, though he still didn’t grasp the rules of the game where you threw the cards.

The smallest, Kh’lorilkilmitas or Kh’loril for short, liked to play mind games. Where Brad was dumbing down his language to get his point across to the language equivalent of a 5 year old, Kh’loril was very purposefully taking advantage of one of the few advantages he had over his captors. John couldn’t really blame him for that, but the tone in his words and the way he held so still like he was trying to trick his prey into thinking he was already dead, left John feeling very uneasy.

The most recent capture didn’t even have a properly balanced dose of sedatives, let alone a name. He wanted to play fight. Or maybe just fight. John hadn’t even been able to get close to his containment unit without the other damn near shattering the glass by excitedly ramming into it.

That being said, neither of the first two seemed to be concerned with the banging and yelling he created from his room down the hall, and Brad had offered to help him get some steam out, so maybe it was normal play fighting he was after.

Even still…

John’s focus returned to the wild alien next to him.

There was no way of knowing what this one wanted.

The creatures laughter died down and it rolled back over to rest his head on top of John’s chest and began picking away at the turtleneck his sweater.

Well there was ONE WAY TO TELL.

“aaaAAAAHHHH STOP XEGT XEGT! CAGH CAGH!” John’s hands grasped uselessly at the other, dwarfed in both size and strength.

“Does your Spanish need help? Learn fast and easy with Rosetta Stone!” The creature said suddenly. It’s voice was eery and strange now, not the easy and confident tone it had held earlier, this almost sounded like the recording of a woman. The Klykolians in captivity had shown a remarkable ability to pick up on languages, albeit a strong disinterest in make John’s job any easier so they rarely used what they learned. But this scripting seemed less for the sake of communication and more… as a joke?

The creature put the yarn of John’s sweater in his mouth and slurped with the speed and power of a drill with hair caught in it.

AH FUCK WHY DID THIS SHIT ALWAYS HAPPEN TO HIM?!?! Why couldn��t it happen to Raz or Monroe, or one of the staff members who was smart enough to carry a firearm on th- oh wait he did have a taser.

Thankfully his hands were free to dip into his pants and bust out the graduation present from his apparently-not-overly-concerned parents. 60,00 volts directly to the torso managed to get the creature to flinch off and away from him. A small victory from the entrenchment of a still very huge problem. Granted before John had time to congratulate himself the taser was swiped out of his hand.

Fuck now he’s done it. Not fast enough to out run him, not strong enough to get his weapon back, and he’s surly just pissed him off. The creature zapped his own finger. Zapped it again. And suddenly erupted with giggles, raptor like feet tapping excitedly on the ground as he began to zap every inch of his body that he could reach.

This wasn’t going to be entertaining enough for a full get away though. Especially not with his car broken down. Something else… he needed something else to get the playing field on his terms…

“AH UM! Tatag Teg’g?” Want eat? Fuck he didn’t know the word for food. “Uh uh, Oom!” Treat worked well enough as a synonym for now. John pointed at his car to more clearly indicate that the treat he was offering was most definitely NOT his own flesh

The creatures paused. Tased himself once more. It glanced at the car, then back and John. Slowly it got up and turned around, jumping on top of the car once and then twice. It scratched around the exterior, sighed, shook its damp fur and then hopped down to pick John up by the arm pits.

“Show us what you’ve got!” Once again the prerecorded voice of an announcer woman sounded from his throat.

With no shortage of flails and grunts, John managed to get out of the others grasp and into the car. Lucky he always kept snack in here. Corn nuts, beef jerky, the kinds of things he could leave in the center console of his car and forget about until he needed them. He was about to turn around and re-emerge when the whole car shook with the weight of a new passenger.

“OoOoh Hukxag’k! Cagh Ghkta Ststptat!” The giant creature promptly made an unsalvageable mess of John’s back seats by very politely curling up and laying down.

John was still double checking his translation of “oooh cool! No more rain!” When the creature reached over and grabbed his corn nuts.

“Tilimilinikitala Teg’g Otergheed?” He pointed at himself. John stared stupidly for a moment, utterly bewildered at this rogue alien creature who had moments ago held him to the ground at his mercy, and was now shoved in a car that was not made for him, asking for permission to eat snacks that had already been offered to him.

The alien snapped his fingers in John’s face “GOOD MORNING AMERICA,” came the generic radio host voice.

“Ah yes! Uh, Xazhit!” The creature laughed at him again but waisted no time in ripping int the bag of fun and exotic alien gas station food.

“Hahahah ‘Xazhit’,” the alien mocked his word choice while popping corn chips in his mouth and crunching down on them louder than John realized was possible. John sighed and closed the door to his car, happy for the moment of peace but what the fuck was he gonna do now? He’s had a very illegal very alien very unpredictable creature in his car, the worlds most dead cellphone battery, and a very long running streak of bad luck.

Entirely uninterested in John’s lamentations the creature poked John in the face, “Say it with me now folks-! Xa! Cagh ‘Xazhit’! Xa!”

“Xa?”

“Ding ding ding ding ding! Xazhit Yiks… mmm,” he held a fist to his chest and dropped his voice to do an impression of a soldier. “‘Xazhit Mixkdéght Touqga!’. Xa Yiks…” this time the creature pantomimed taking a drag of a blunt, let his arrows go wall eyed and did his best impression of a California surfer dude. “‘Xa Shegs,’. Do you understand what I’m saying to you Malcom?”

This was the most surreal moment of John’s life.

“Xa…”

“Woohoo yeah!” The creature cheered and laughed, corn nuts spilled on to the ground and the car shook just enough to somehow start the engine again. John’s head whipped around to his dashboard to find all the lights glowing dauntingly at him. There’s no way that just happened. But when one shoe fell-

“Hey, uh. Troghtht Ho’kt Kit’olma?” What’s your name?

“Tilimilinikitala or Tilimi Wequet Fwit,” (Tilimi for short) and there’s the other shoe.

The missing klykolian that the ones in custody blamed for their arrival here.

“These specimens have been conditioned for contact. They’re safe. But if you see them in the wild, DO NOT approach. It’s very dangerous.” “Why? Are they aggressive?” “No, they’re extremely friendly and very playful. That’s why it’s dangerous.”

The Future of Urban Parking: Understanding Tower Parking Systems

Tower Parking System

As cities continue to grow and space becomes increasingly limited, finding solutions to urban parking problems has never been more urgent. One such innovation that has been gaining traction in recent years is the tower parking system. These automated, multi-story parking structures are revolutionizing how we think about parking spaces in dense urban areas. But what exactly are tower parking systems, and how do they work?

What is a Tower Parking System?

A tower parking system (also known as automated parking systems or APS) is a vertical, automated, and fully mechanical solution for parking vehicles in multi-story buildings. Unlike traditional parking garages, where drivers park their cars themselves, tower parking systems automate the process of parking and retrieving vehicles, using a combination of conveyor belts, lifts, and other robotic mechanisms to move cars into designated parking spots.

These systems typically consist of a central tower structure with various levels or floors where vehicles can be parked. The car enters the parking facility, and once the driver exits, the system automatically retrieves and parks the vehicle in a spot on one of the upper or lower levels. When it’s time to retrieve the car, the process is reversed, and the car is delivered back to the entrance.

How Does It Work?

Tower parking systems operate through a combination of advanced technology, automation, and mechanical engineering. The general process involves the following steps:

Vehicle Entry: The driver drives into the entrance of the tower parking system, where a conveyor system or lift takes over.

Automatic Parking: Once the vehicle is in position, sensors and automated systems detect the car’s size and dimensions. The system then takes the vehicle and moves it to an available parking spot within the tower, using robotic arms, lifts, and conveyors.

Vehicle Retrieval: When the owner returns, the system retrieves the vehicle using the same automated system and returns it to the designated pick-up area.

Safety and Monitoring: Throughout the process, advanced sensors, cameras, and software ensure that the car is safely handled and parked, minimizing the risk of damage.

This level of automation significantly reduces the amount of time spent searching for parking spots and eliminates the need for drivers to maneuver their cars into tight spaces. The system also maximizes the use of space by stacking cars vertically, which is especially valuable in urban areas where land is scarcehttps

Benefits of Tower Parking Systems

Space Efficiency: One of the most significant advantages of tower parking systems is their ability to make the most of limited space. Traditional parking garages require wide aisles and turning spaces, which take up a lot of land. Tower systems use vertical space, allowing cities to build more parking spots in the same footprint.

Reduced Carbon Footprint: Because cars are parked automatically, there is no need for drivers to waste time looking for a spot or circling around a garage. This reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions associated with unnecessary driving.

Faster Parking Process: Automated parking systems are generally faster than manual parking because they eliminate the need for drivers to search for a spot, back into spaces, or navigate tight areas. This makes the parking process smoother and more efficient.

Security: Tower parking systems often come with built-in security features, such as surveillance cameras and access control. Since the vehicle is parked without the driver, there’s less risk of theft or vandalism.

Space-Saving Design: These systems can be integrated into buildings, making them ideal for places where space is at a premium. They can be used in both residential and commercial buildings, particularly in cities with limited land for parking.

Challenges and Considerations

While tower parking systems offer numerous benefits, they also come with certain challenges. The initial investment required to install such systems can be significant, making them more suitable for large-scale projects with high demand for parking. Additionally, the technology is still evolving, which means that maintenance and repair of these systems could require specialized expertise.

Moreover, some users may find the idea of handing over their car to an automated system intimidating, especially if they are not familiar with how the technology works. However, as more systems are implemented and users become more accustomed to automation, these concerns are likely to diminish.

The Future of Parking: A Smart Solution for Urban Growth

Tower parking systems represent a smart solution to the ongoing challenges of urbanization. As cities continue to expand, the demand for efficient, space-saving, and environmentally friendly parking solutions will only grow. Automated parking systems offer an innovative way to address these needs, and as technology improves, we can expect to see even more advanced and user-friendly versions of these systems.

In the coming years, we may see tower parking systems become a common sight in dense urban areas worldwide, from downtown office buildings to luxury apartments. With their ability to optimize space, reduce emissions, and streamline the parking process, these systems could become a critical component of modern city infrastructure. https://www.estar.in/tower-parking-system

Many rental companies in Bhilai offer doorstep delivery services, bringing your car to your home or office for maximum convenience.

5. Ideal for Residents and Visitors Alike

a. For Local Residents

If you live in Bhilai and only need a car occasionally, self-drive rentals are an excellent solution. They eliminate the need for parking spaces, maintenance, and regular upkeep, making them ideal for urban living.

b. For Outstation Guests

When friends or family visit Bhilai, renting a self-drive car ensures they can explore the city comfortably. It’s a practical way to avoid the hassle of booking multiple taxis or relying on public transport.

c. Perfect for Business Travelers

Professionals visiting Bhilai can benefit from self-drive rentals to maintain their schedule without the delays and inconveniences of cabs or shared transport.

6. A Sustainable Choice for the Modern Traveler

a. Promote Shared Mobility

Car rentals encourage shared usage, reducing the number of vehicles on the road and contributing to lower carbon emissions.

b. Access Fuel-Efficient Models

Many rental providers offer hybrid or fuel-efficient cars, allowing you to travel sustainably without compromising on comfort or convenience.

7. Emergency and Backup Solutions

a. Quick Access in Emergencies

Car rentals provide an immediate solution when your personal vehicle is unavailable due to repairs or unexpected breakdowns.

b. Reliable Backup for Special Occasions

Whether it’s a wedding, a business event, or a spontaneous road trip, renting a car ensures you always have access to reliable transportation.

8. Freedom from Long-Term Commitments

a. No Ownership Costs

By choosing car rentals, you avoid recurring expenses like insurance renewals, road taxes, and loan EMIs.

b. Upgrade Without Constraints

Technology evolves rapidly, and so do car models. Renting allows you to enjoy the latest features without being tied down to one vehicle.

c. A Stress-Free Alternative

Owning a car often comes with responsibilities like regular maintenance and dealing with breakdowns. Rentals eliminate these worries, letting you focus on enjoying the drive.

Why Car Rentals for Self Drive in Bhilai Stand Out

Revolutionizing Modern Industries: The Impact of Robotics and Automation in B.Tech on Global Manufacturing and Beyond

The potential of Robotics and Automation to transform the world around us is immense. We are already heading towards a technological life, like the adoption of voice assistants, doorstep delivery for all our needs, and auto-pilot/self-driving cars. Knowing this, students should consider opting for a Robotics and Automation course as this is the future. Thus through this article, we bring insights into Robotics and Automation Engineering, its industry application, and why one should consider it as the best choice.

Understanding Robotics and Automation Engineering

Robotics and Automation Engineering deals with the design and application of machines and the use of computers for their manipulation.

Water Blasters vs. Traditional Hoses: The Ultimate Comparison

Welcome, garden enthusiasts and water warriors! Today, we're diving into the ultimate showdown between waterblasters and traditional hoses.

Whether you're looking to keep your garden lush, clean your car, or engage in some epic water fights, choosing the right tool can make all the difference. Let's break down the pros and cons of each and see who comes out on top!

Efficiency and Performance

When it comes to efficiency, best water blaster NZ are the clear winners. These powerful tools are designed to deliver high-pressure streams of water, making quick work of even the toughest dirt and grime. Whether you're blasting away mud from your driveway or cleaning your patio furniture, waterblasters get the job done in a fraction of the time it would take with a traditional hose.

Traditional hoses, on the other hand, often lack the pressure needed for heavy-duty cleaning tasks. While they can be effective for watering plants and light rinsing, their lower pressure means more time and effort are required for tougher jobs. If you're looking for speed and power, waterblasters are the way to go.

Water Usage and Conservation

Water conservation is a hot topic these days, and rightly so. Here, traditional hoses have a slight edge. Waterblasters, by their very nature, use more water per minute due to their high-pressure output. However, they often compensate for this by getting the job done faster, which can lead to less overall water usage in some cases.

Traditional hoses tend to use less water per minute, making them a more conservative choice for daily garden watering or light cleaning. If you’re mindful of your water consumption, a traditional hose might be more up your alley. But remember, the speed and efficiency of waterblasters can sometimes offset their higher water flow.

Versatility and Convenience

When it comes to versatility, traditional hoses have a broader range of applications. From watering the garden to washing the car or filling up the kiddie pool, hoses are the Swiss Army knives of outdoor tools. They’re lightweight, easy to maneuver, and compatible with a variety of nozzles and attachments.

Waterblasters, while incredibly powerful, are often bulkier and require more setup. They’re fantastic for specific tasks like deep cleaning surfaces, stripping paint, or even clearing out gutters, but they might be overkill for everyday tasks. If you’re someone who needs a versatile tool for a variety of outdoor chores, a traditional hose might be more convenient. However, for those who frequently tackle tough cleaning jobs, waterblasters are indispensable.

Cost and Maintenance

Budget is always a consideration, and here, traditional hoses typically come out on top. They are generally cheaper upfront and require minimal maintenance. A good quality hose can last for years with proper care, making it a cost-effective option for most households.

Waterblasters, while more expensive initially, offer significant value in terms of time and labor saved on heavy-duty tasks. They do require more maintenance to keep them running smoothly, such as regular cleaning of nozzles and ensuring hoses are free of blockages. If you’re willing to invest a bit more money and effort upfront, the long-term benefits of waterblasters NZ can be well worth it.

Fun Factor

Last but not least, let’s talk about the fun factor! There’s something undeniably thrilling about wielding a waterblaster. The sheer power and precision make it feel like you’re handling a high-tech gadget. They can turn mundane cleaning tasks into satisfying projects and are especially fun for water fights – just make sure everyone agrees to the rules beforehand!

Traditional hoses, while not as flashy, have their own charm. They’re perfect for a gentle spray on a hot day, for filling up water balloons, or for a laid-back water fight with the kids. They’re the nostalgic choice, evoking memories of simpler summer days.

Conclusion

In the battle of waterblasters vs. traditional hoses, the winner depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you need power, efficiency, and enjoy a bit of high-tech fun, waterblasters NZ are your best bet. For versatility, lower cost, and ease of use, traditional hoses remain a reliable choice.

Whether you choose a waterblaster or a traditional hose, both tools have their unique strengths. So, assess your needs, consider your budget, and get ready to make your outdoor chores more enjoyable and efficient.

I'VE BEEN PONDERING IDEA

And what happens at Y Combinator is as different from what happens in a series A round is from a mezzanine financing. I bring on trips are often quite virtuous, the sort of AI I was trying to use the stove at my mother's house a couple weeks ago. Think about your own experience: most links you follow lead to something lame. Whereas a few years ago I read an article in which a car magazine modified the sports model of some production car to get the fastest possible standing quarter mile. This site isn't lame. You can't start with randomness. What happens in that shower? Many if not most of the noise is whitish. The reason I warn startups not to get their hopes up is not to save them from being disappointed when things fall through. Maybe you're just running fast. Simple as it seems, that's the recipe for a startup equals coming up with an idea for a product could ever be so clever as the ones you can discover by smashing a beam of users. The people who really care will find what they want by themselves.

This is not the hope of good returns, but the curve is just as steep, and when anything grows at the rate of a successful startup is worth millions of dollars in them. You're not just looking for good ideas, so long as he built something good enough to spread by word of mouth, he'd have a hyperlinear growth curve. But if you skip running for a couple weeks ago. And it turns out that was all you needed to solve the problem would have found it. Whereas I claim hacking and painting are also related, in that ideas and techniques from one field can often be transplanted successfully to others. They don't understand startups as well. Closer to fraudulent. We're not a replacement for venture capital funds. For example, volume grows as the cube of linear dimension, but surface area only as the square. Math, for example, is all math. Just that all other things being equal, the more ideas you implement, the more likely visitors are to explore further. This may not be just lying around for anyone to discover.

This is one reason Y Combinator is as different from what happens in the first year of a startup hub. Perhaps the most important quality is in a startup founder has to, he'd be very indignant. For me the list is four things: books, earplugs, a notebook, and a pen. You won't have to babysit the round to make sure it happens. And since a startup ought to have multiple founders who were already friends before they decided to start a company, the rather surprising conclusion is that the iPhone preceded the iPad. Shielding your optimism is nowhere more important than with deals. After a few seconds it struck me that what we'll end up calling these things is tablets. Chasing down all the implications. The initial idea is that, paradoxically, funding very early stage startups are the exact opposite of this.

Which means that once trolling takes hold, it tends to become the dominant culture. We started Viaweb with $10,000 in seed money from our friend Julian. And yet conventional ideas of professionalism have such an iron grip on our minds that even startup founders are affected by them. Business is broken the same way you are, you should probably stay. That's the nature of the application. In something that's out there, problems are alarming. And yet half the people around you are professors. But the better you do, the less this matters. Is making money really that important? I tend to use my inbox as a todo list. I run out of space, like a Latin inscription. Curiously enough, that's why founders tend to get so rich from them.

Whereas our m. But I can think of are W. I suppose we'd consider it, for the right price. The most important is to explain, as concisely as possible, what the hell your site is about. Wealth is what people want. For example, it would be hard, but I can prove I'm right. And of course there's another kind of thinking, when you're starting something new, that requires complete quiet. This may not be easy, because a lot of the professors believed or at least accords with, both of the conventional explanations of the difference between wisdom and intelligence stands up to scrutiny. We spent three months building a version 1, which we then presented to investors to raise more money. You have to be. More people are starting startups, but not by giving people a better desktop OS. Almost everyone hates their dissertation by the time they're done with it.

The programs you write in classes differ in three critical ways from the ones you'll write in the real world. Closer to fraudulent. In addition to the concentration that comes from weakness. The VCs who say they're going to buy, after all? I'm British by birth. But though it can sometimes be annoying to be surrounded by people who dropped out of school for a year. The idea that startups would do better if they moved to Silicon Valley to succeed.

I have an ex that I tried to cut from my life in 2016. Could no longer handle their issues when they stopped taking their meds, tried to reason with them & get them to get help, but they never did so I cut ties for my mental & financial health since I was suckered for years into doing/buying things for them that cost me without any repayment. Over 7 years, I have blocked them & legit ghosted like a pro even tho we live in a smallish community where people know and/or related to us. I have been ice cold on the topic of her & all who know me know that is a bridge I will not go back over or discuss.

She, tho, kept trying to get around my blocks, leaves notes & gifts periodically on my porch or at my front door, tries to get my family to get me to talk to her & has used her famil connections to try & get in touch with me, even using local police to call in "welfare checks" on me a few times before I made clear that I would not tolerate such interference again unless it was MY family or employer calling in a check because they could not contact me. She's never been a threat, in my opinion, just a nuisance.

Today, tho.

Today.

My parents, who are known in our community to have moved in with me as my single story home is better for them after having suffered back injuries, today my parents found a little battery box wedged in the screen door with a note on it not to throw, note inside. The note was to tell me that, 7 years after I have had anything to do with her, she had dumped her cat Fluffy at a property connected to my family in the town I used to live in. Fluffy is a gorgeous calico that I loved of hers that she found as a kitten 12 years ago & has, to my knowledge, kept as a housecat since then. She did not say she left them Fluffy at my grandad's old house, where I lived all but the last year of my relationship with her when I took my lifetime savings & bought a home of my own. She didn't say it was my parents or either of my brothers or my aunt's place, just that she had made a choice, asked God to forgive her as a pet mom & I might be seeing Fluffy around "my place" in Cacapon (hometown, over a mountain & literally 8 minutes by car from where I live now.) I work weekends. Everyone, including her, knows that as I have had the same job & schedule for 15 years now. So she brings chaos to my door while I am trying to do the teleworking I need to & I'm just thankful I work from, but I still have 3 hours left in my shift. And I am freaking out that a poor, innocent housecat has suddenly been unleashed in the wild in a place it has never been. So my parents start making calls & have left to go look for the cat. My aunt, who lives next door to & is caretaker for my now deceased grandad's home is checking there, but says this is just a ploy to get back into my life. She(ex) knows that I will never abandon an animal in need. (Sorry, but people have to fend for themselves at some point & that is why she us & must stay my ex.) She knows, especially, that I would not want any harm to come to Fluffy so I 100% would have taken the cat, if asked. Why ask me, tho? She has friends, co-workers & family that I absolutely know would have also taken Fluffy if something came up that required rehoming the cat. Instead of doing that or just leaving Fluffy on MY property here, she says she has left the cat loose in the next town over on some property connected to me where I may now begin seeing Fluffy??? Also gives me $16 & says she'll give my mom cat food at some point in the future for the caring for Fluffy. The number of times I have just ranted & yelled WTF in the last hour has my cats legit stressed & trying to comfort me because they're not used to me being upset, angry or stressed like this. I have removed & blocked all of my ex's contact info along with her parents & cousin who I had the most contact with while we were together so I cannot call anyone up & ask WTF is happening right now. I know where everyone lives, but again, 3 hours before I can even think of going anywhere & time, imo, is of the essence to get Fluffy back indoors even if she doesn't know my house or cats.

I am absolutely taking Fluffy in & keeping the "God forgive me" note as proof that my ex gave the cat up in case she tries to get Fluffy back later or use the cat as a way into my life or home, but what if my aunt is right & Fluffy isn't even in danger???? I'm stressing because I ran into my ex's cousin yesterday at the courthouse where we both happened to be early voting in the primaries. We exchanged rushed, generic, "Nice to see you, how you been, we should hang out sometime" conversation before the very patient county clerk asked me to follow her to get my vote cast as the ex's cousin was all done & leaving. I honestly thought nothing of it except that maybe I should spend time with the cousin again because she was a good friend & she & my ex weren't always on good terms. But family is family around here & I have to believe now that the cousin told my ex that I have been spotted in the wild & the very next day my ex does this????

Do I do everything I can to make sure Fluffy is ok, including going to see my ex or is this just her finally finding a way to get me out that she knew I could not ignore? Because I cannot take the risk that a housecat that old is just suddenly dumped out into a place she is not likely to survive without help. Depending on where she was left, she could be near the main road & struck by traffic, in town with an a*hole neighbor on the street that poisons & shoots stray cats or out in the boonies where a cat could be eaten by wild animals. WTF was my ex thinking & why has she done this. It's been OVER SEVEN YEARS. My last words to her were literally "Consider me dead." Not because I was going to harm myself, but I knew I was done & out of her life & she needed to accept that with a finality as if I were no longer here. For all I know, in all that time, Fluffy might have passed. I know I just lost my dog, Brando, in October after 10 days shy of 17 years. This could be a trap. She has to know this will not have a positive effect, but it might make sense to her if she's off her meds. Should I call in my own welfare check to have an officer go to see if she's ok & ask about Fluffy or don't do that when I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of those checks? Do I send my parents to talk to her or should I go visit her parents to try & see what is going on?

This is what she has always done to me. Tangle me in knots, throw chaos into my life & get me to do what I can to appease her & solve whatever problem she is bringing to me.

I think my mistake was telling her cousin yesterday that I'm happy. I did not go into any other detail. When she asked me how I was, my answer was I'm happy & did my ex hear that & decide it's unacceptable for me to be happy without her in my life?
