Top Three Biggest Risks I've Taken While Enjoying the Outdoors
What are the biggest risks you've taken in the outdoors? Here are three of mine and they may surprise you...#hiking #outdoors #trailsafety
So I’ve been listening to podcasts on the National Parks and wilderness type adventures lately, my favorite is Dear Bob and Sue: A National Parks Podcast, and it has made me realize that over the years I’ve taken several unnecessary risks while enjoying the great outdoors. Surprisingly, none of them involve rock climbing, surfing, or even spelunking: Not carrying bear spray in bear country. This…

dyke!Chilaios has me understanding breeding kink all of a sudden
#chilaios#that's a lie i understand breeding kink very well lmao#HOWEVER IT MUST BE SAID#they finish up a great scene. hot lesbian sex. all going well.#and laios lies back with her eyes closed. still flushed and sweaty. she rests her naked hand on her naked lower stomach and says. 'hah....#'did you know ...that tallmen and halflings can have kids together?' Like its just another fun monster fact.#she's trailing her fingers absentmindedly over her stomach now. tracing idle patterns.#'with our lifespans being so similar it isn't even as big a deal as it is for elves and humans. they're even fertile and that's ...#that's really rare for hybrids.' her eyes are still closed. she swallows hard. She's more red now than she was when they fucked.#'you should talk about that next time you're in me. i'd like it...' and she cracks one eye open a sliver#to see chilchuck . BEET. RED.#because Chilchuck DID NOT. KNOW.#She was already fucked out and now she's dying?? she's dying. Laios still has her huge hand resting on her huge smooth stomach#miles and miles of soft skin...that she wants chilchuck to put a BABY in#she's thought about the hypothetical lifespan and safety of the hypothetical baby! is this just a sex thing? is this a for real thing?#chilchuck does not know and does not know which one she's hoping for now!! cause both sound GREAT#AND OF COURSE THERE'S ALSO#chilchuck remembering that conversaion next time Laios's huge huge fingers are inside her. Laios's hot wet breathing by her ear.#Laios's breathing going ragged even though no one is touching HER she is the one toying with Chilchuck right now. She always does that.#between the breathing and the fingers and the warmth and the smell Laios is all around her and she just thinks -#'Laios is so huge. Laios's baby would be so huge. I'd be so huge. Pregnant with it.' And she cums.#rattles her to her fucking core. Chilchuck who HAS BEEN PREGNANT BEFORE realising. holy shit.#i want this fluffy haired socially awkward 26 year old doggirl to . to fuck a baby into me. in a sexy way.#i think . I think it's hot.#enough to turn you to drink isn't it!#u may ask - hey how come chilchuck has a girlcock and has got pregnant? can laios get chilchuck pregnant?#does anyone even have a womb in this situation? I may answer - don't worry about it#a wizard did it. whatever. its a fantasy world.#whatever is sexiest in the moment i don't care#lesbiance

dp fanfic ideas are getting to me again goddammit
#so like a typical giw facilities type thing with enclourses and all#but the ghosts keep escaping and so they commission the dr. fentons to make a weapon that calms ghosts#like an anathesia#BUT its the fentons so it doesnt work that way it actually just switches the fear of the ghost into what it wants. desires (NOT OBSESSION)#but what is the fear of the ghost in the moment? being stuck with the giw. so they calm down and let the giw take them and keep them#<- which makes it LOOK like its behaving as it should#so they use it more and more and the giw mass ghost kidnappings are becoming widespread- now successful#so set the scene. phantom teams up with some rouges and co to break some ghosties out#it works but the giw are hot on their trail and phantom-being a fenton-sacerfices himself for the team and is used as a distraction#(so the others get away)#BUT he doesnt fear being taken by them. fuckin hero complex kicking in and all#which means that when they use the gun. he isnt complict. at all#because whats his greatest fear? becoming a monster. and so. it flips. to what he wants.#and uhm. the giw arent there anymore#BUT as said before his obsession wasnt overidden so he cant hurt civilians and stuff#(his core rationalized the giw being a threat to peace and others safety so it uh. made an exception.)#but while he was taking them down he got shot again by the weapon. (a fruitless attempt really)#and uh. is being a monster is his (former) worst fear. pray tell what is the runner up to that?#people thinking hes a monster.#and yknow. he may not be able to harm innocents and good people#but he CAN pretend. really fucking well#and uh. yeah :) thats all i got and also some reactions by team phantom on it#<- some of the escapees and the rescuer ghosts saw the start of what happened to phantom while they ran#and considering the fact that they havent seen danny in a week? kinda concerning#(he swears he isnt avoiding them he just needs the time to set up he SWEARS-) meanwhile. hes lying to himself#someones priorities and mentalities switching doesnt necessarily change their morals or tolerances. just saying :)#yeah okay thats all i ACTUALLY got#really busy and will be busy and very tired rn so nothing may come of this#fanfictionfuckeries#<- starting a tag for this typa shit? more likely than ya think :)

Beautiful spring weather. Blue skies. Warm temps. Sounds like a great time for a hike in your national park.
And it is, if you take some Springtime precautions.
Tumblr media
Remember that Mount Rainier soars over 14,000 feet above sea level. While there may be some trails melting out of the snow at lower elevations, there is still some snow at the higher elevations. With these warmer temperatures, the snow up high is melting. This mountain, the mother of many waters, has snow melt rippling down the hills and creeks, filling the rivers.
As you go out hiking, remember that as a warm day heats up, the snow melts more and the creeks and rivers get more water. Bridges might become impassable or even be washed away. Before you head out, stop at an information or visitor center and ask a ranger for current conditions.
Stay safe out there. Enjoy your time in the national park. Come home and share your photos and memories.

Park information on weather can be found here  https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/weather.htm For a view of current conditions, these webcams may be helpful https://www.nps.gov/mora/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm

Yet another thing I didn't expect from crochet: I have stitch markers in my car, my bed, they are even being run through the washing machine because I didn't see them while loading my laundry. I think I'll drown in them

Hi, do you or followers have any tips for safety when riding alone and unsupervised? I don't have a smartphone, and the phone I do have doesn't reliably work at the barn. I've currently been texting my mom before I get on and saying I'll be finished in an hour, and then texting again when I get off. But I've never ridden alone before. Would be very grateful to learn any tips or advice for what others do?
Hi, riding alone is always a bit risky, but there are a lot of things that can be done to mitigate the risk. Off the top of my head:
Wear a helmet and possibly a safety vest.
Make sure your girth and saddle are secure.
Keep your phone on you, not in a saddle bag. If you keep it in your pants pocket, make sure they are deep enough. I have had my phone fall out while wearing jeans and breaches with ordinary pockets many times; I have since purchased these breeches specifically for trail riding because they have deep pockets with zippers.
Take off jewelry like dangly earrings that can snag if you fall off.
Use safety stirrups. No worse place to get dragged than a trail.
Bring mace in case some dumb person has their dog loose (also keep it on you and not the saddle).
If a horse is spooking or acting up, there is no harm in getting off and walking back. Additionally, it may be good to hand walk them on the trail before riding once or twice so they know what to expect.
As for safety apps and trackers, I am unfortunately not really in the know-how. I know some endurance people use personal locator beacons or satellite messengers when cell coverage is bad, but don't have experience with them myself.
Followers please chime in.

it's always crazy that my first thought about the end of the world or escaping or having to flee is: god i hope i die
does that make me a coward? i don't see myself living through fleeing if an earthquake collapses our house or something just please end it
being told everything is weird and unprecedented and that they're preparing for something just please i don't want to live through another global catastrophic event just let me die man
with my health problems already it's a struggle enough to get up and live i can't imagine bejng in a real crisis if my body is already taking this as a sign im going tk die
do i like how reactive i feel when ppl talk about the possible catastrophe of earthquakes or eclipses or preparing for some unknown something to happen? no. i don't like the fear and the immediate "i need to kill myself or ill suffer unknown tragedies" maybe ive read too much apocalypse fiction where the world ends and factions split and people run rampid
because i know im not built to survive it. im not and i cant. i don't want to live in fear again by the powers over me I don't want to be subject to cruelty and horror

Beginning of the day we ask clients to each name one of the rules here
One client says “stay with your team” which indeed is a rule!
Same client later today leaves the team while we’re in Publix and gets all the way out in the parking lot

As someone involved in agility, last weekend's attack left me struggling to sort through my thoughts and feelings.
I had a whole big rant typed out about calling out the mentality of sweeping problem dogs/behaviors under the rug. But I think this addresses things with a better eye towards a solution than my angry reactions would.

I think my frustration with Julia Serrano is that she will have a GREAT TAKE (A butch getting misgendered in a bathroom is an example of transphobia regardless of the butch's identity as trans) and follow it up with a RANCID TAKE (trans men being allowed into TE/RF events is an example of "cissexual transgender privilege". It's really frustrating because it leaves the book very one sided in its analysis of misogyny in the trans community.

Internet safety flag - consider whether you're ok with everyone on the Tumblr knowing your name before sharing your results. There's a lot of little ways your anonymity gets chipped away at by seemingly innocuous things like this.
If you're not sharing personally identifying info on purpose, you have to be extra vigilant about not sharing by accident.
OK new game. Use this website to see how common your first name is, and then put that number in the tags.
