#that’s why they’re no longer in use

[orcinus-veterinarius]

Hello!

When I googled ​“veal crate” the same type of enclosure pops up as the pictures of calf hutches that were in your post, so I’m wondering what is the difference between veal crate and calf hutches? Is there a difference?

Hey Anon! You’re right, googling veal crates mostly turns up pictures of dairy calf hutches. A traditional “veal crate” was designed to restrict movement as much as possible, to ensure extra tender meat, and would restrain the calf’s head.

You’ll notice that basically every picture you can find of a true veal crate looks like it was taken on a Polaroid. That’s because they haven’t been in use for years now. Modern veal operations raise calves in group pens.

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

just quit my fuckass job

#last day’s Saturday <3 #cause I am NAWT putting up with the bullshit I’ve undergone just this week any longer #can’t have our phones in our pockets anymore eventhough no one is ever on them bc we literally don’t have time #new owner’s making us park across the street at a different store’s parking lot bc ours is small and she wants to reserve the parking #for customers like yeah okay do that at the expense of your employees sure why not #they’re making us do double the work for lower pay #everyone is thinking of quitting they’re just trying to secure jobs before they do #but I genuinely just couldn’t handle it I was genuinely gonna snap at some point so I’d rather just quit than get fired #but now I have to find another job BOOOOO #but I was going to have to leave anyways to find someway to do my shadowing for grad school so this gave me a good opportunity

Okay I made this to represent a specific event but then I thought about it and realized that more generally soeaking this actually sums the exact dynamic I have with my fourth grade girls.

#like you guys don’t understand this is LITERALLY me and my girls #like. the example this was originally made to represent. I road the bus with [name redacted for privacy reasons] who is the apple of my eye #my incredible little girl who I have known for a year who I just adore. #I was taking the bus with her and she saw there was a security camera and asked about it. and it was like a 30 minute bus ride we had time #and I often will teach her about things I’m interested in even if they’re like. advanced right #so I was like alright have you ever heard of a man named Foucault? #i took the next 15 minutes to explain to her about who Foucault was and his essay about the panopticon and what that meant #described was a panopticon was described why he was talking about it talked about how that applies to us now #about how the police state is increasingly harnessing more and more technology to create an era of surveillance hitherto unknown of #and how this helps enforce the status quo etc. #she listened intently. nodding along thoughtfully. she quietly thought about it longer. #the whole time. GLOWERING. which is her response to everything. #I’m like. it’s interesting right? trying to prompt her to say what she was thinking. #instead of responding she just turns to the security camera at the front of the bus and very carefully puts up her middle finger #and then mouths ‘fuck. you.’ #I could not be prouder of her but this is also just how all our conversations go #no matter if it’s about tattoos or Ancient Greek tragedy or Taylor swift.

(I really hope I'm not being too much I just love the way you see them so much 😅)

so for any House MD character(s) you prefer :

💡How did they discover age regression?

🌈What about their regression is unusual, unexpected, or non-traditional?

🃏Your favorite random headcanon about their regression?

(No no no don’t worry I love these asks! You’re fine haha) (though I would like some from other fandoms)

I’m going for (naturally) House and Chase because why not?

(This one’s a little less safe, I think. There’s mention of restricting necessary drugs in the second question, and briefly of meltdowns. Other than that, it’s OK.)

💡💡 They both already knew about it. It’s required to do a psychiatry rotation for medical students, so they certainly came across it. When House started regressing, he was in a lot of denial about the fact. Chase was more open to it, though he had to ease into regressing completely and not just partially.

🌈 I’m not exactly sure what this question means, actually. I have a gist, though, so…for House, it’s his Vicodin. His pain doesn’t go away, after all. Unfortunately, he’s not the one in control of how much he can take at a time when he’s little, and Wilson is, incorrectly, under the belief that restricting access to the pills is a ‘good’ way of tapering House’s addiction. He hid them, but the system didn’t last very long after the first few meltdowns, and now the Vicodin is a given (though Greg has to swallow them with water sometimes. And he generally has to tell Wilson when he needs the pills instead of just taking them.)

🌈 For Chase…I don’t know. He’s just a very energetic kiddo who has to get bribed because his caregiver can’t handle running after him.

🃏 I mentioned that Greg is a cuddlebug in another post, and likes falling asleep with some part of him close to or on Wilson, but now we’re talking about Wilson as a caregiver! Yay! It takes a while for him to get out of his caregiver headspace, and while they’re working he’ll sorta…treat House like he would at home. Hold hands while walking, brush a thumb over his cheek, slip up and call him ‘Greg’ or ‘sweetie’ a few times. The usual stuff.

Unfortunately for House, this has proven to be too effective (he will never admit in a million years that Wilson’s mere presence makes his voluntary-involuntary regression a little more involuntary than it used to be). Wilson would never say anything either, but he likes that his best friend can allow himself to be that vulnerable with him, and that makes him value their relationship more.

🃏 Robert LOVES story time! Adores it! He can’t go to bed without a story. Sadly, it’s usually the same few books over and over because House doesn’t want to clutter his shelf with kids books or people asking questions (he doesn’t work with kids, so he has no valid excuse). But Robert doesn’t mind. He’s just happy having a story read to him, and House can be surprisingly ‘gentle’ (read: quiet) when the situation calls for it. He’s also the only reason House has ever bought chocolate milk AND hot cocoa mix. He doesn’t get nightmares often, but when he does, they’re really messy (figuratively and literally- Chase regresses very young), and he’ll have to get a nice drink and a few stories to calm him down again.

(Also, Robert has a lot of pacifiers because he needs them and they make him feel safe while Greg has, like, one or two - that he does actually use - because he’s too old for pacifiers! Duh! Jimmy just didn’t get the memo.)

#This one took a little longer haha #house md agere #ask games! #little!House #Caregiver!Wilson #I dunno why I didn’t use that tag before #agere headcanons #age regression headcanons #sfw age dreamer #Regressor!House #Again they’re mostly about our titular character. Sorry I just like him a lot

I’m making myself feel sick by getting sad about Carson

#no one cares about Carson #why does no one care for Carson. why #nobody cares!!!! sad #Carson dies from not being acknowledged or loved #Lord Grantham sadder about his dog dying than if Carson died and that’s real (no offence <3) I bet if Carson died right now then his leodhsi #lordship wold be like ‘oh well he was a good butler but we had no real connection so I’ll move on immediately and this won’t affect my day #or state of mind or anything ‘ #he’s like Carson why did you come to France with us ew? :( #why not!!! why don’t you want him there he’s been at your side longer than everyone else in your life apart from ur mom #he’s RIGHT THERE #why is he just a joke????? everyone else gets to have serious storylines but Carson just a joke :( okay……..I guess…….. #i love Carson <3 could that be enough? i don’t know. it doesn’t feel like enough I need the other characters in the show to legit care #but he’s just whatever and they’re like oh it’s that guy and yeah

Do you ever listen to someone speak and marvel at how smooth, free-flowing, and free of pauses it is?

Because I sure do. I can’t do that.

Maybe that’s why I feel like most people’s speech is insincere even when it isn’t… because it sounds like how I would recite or read a script. That explains why I view people who aren’t native English speakers, have a heavy accent, and take long pauses to think of the words they need to say as being more trustworthy… because my cadence is similar to theirs; and we both stumble over words.

#I feel like that little kid “If you ever had a dream where— you want— you wish— if you could— you want….” #I’m not that bad; but I come very close to sounding like that sometimes LOL #I feel like I spoke more smoothly as a little kid… #but that’s probably because my verbal communication is almost at the same level it was at when I was eight years old #Like those people who have a growth spurt but end up being on the short side as adults because they stop growing immediately after #I figuratively shot up to 5’0” in third grade and never grew past that point #(with regard to clarity and flow specifically; not vocabulary… my vocabulary has definitely grown a LOT #but that’s only because I get sick of writing or talking in the same way for longer than a year… which is why I currently sound #like a pretentious 20th century englishman whenever I write fiction) #I have no “real” vernacular because I don’t feel comfortable with having a personal vernacular… #because using the same patterns of words over and over again for the same situations counts as para-scripting and feels fake #(to me) #sometimes I hear someone use a new word I’ve never heard in conversation; and I say “Cool! I’ll use that word myself.” But I later realize #it’s not just a fun one-time usage of a word; but it’s a catchphrase they say all the time and forsake any common synonyms of the word #— I assume — solely for the purpose of sounding smart to others (their behavior usually justifies my assumption; because these people #act like they’re better than everyone else) #And sometimes I catch myself doing the same thing; and I switch to a different word or format than I’ve been using; out of nothing #but embarrassment and twisted perfectionism #Or sometimes I come off the high of using lofty words and want to speak in a more commonplace way #and after awhile of that I start thinking “Wait a minute wait a minute…. Now I’m just trying to sound cool and normal. #This isn’t how I talk.” #But the truth is I really feel spoken language is an insufficient medium for communication. #I want a language in which the speakers pry open each others’ chests #rip out each others’ hearts; and rub them together #But at the same time it kills me that I cannot do the same amount of tonal shapeshifting when speaking #especially when my default (socially-acceptable) speaking voice sounds extremely airheaded #I’ve been trying to use larger words and more archaic sentence structures in speech lately and it feels good #but also like I’m trying to show off (even though I’m not and that’s just how I’d prefer to speak) #even then… all my speech patterns are copied from somewhere #It’s been a years-long identity crisis and I want it to end

Why does it hurt so bad to care about people?

#whether they leave or they don’t care about you or whether life just gets in the way #why does it have to hurt so bad? #my friends are going to bigger and better places and i knew they would and i knew this day was coming but oh god it hurts anyways #and i want the best for them and i know they’re going to excel #but i am selfish. please don’t leave. please don’t leave #please don’t leave me #i am trying to be brave and put on smiles for them but it hurts so bad to care so much #it’ll be my turn soon enough but it hurts so bad in the meantime #will it ever get easier? i almost hope not i never want to stop being so full of love but i do hope i learn to bear it better #all i Can think of us that one post that says something like linger uncomfortably in the doorway and forget your scarf in my life and come #back for it #please come back please linger a little longer #i will survive this but it will hurt so badly in the meantime #mine

This has been haunting me since forever. How tf does Kourin’s hair work.

Like yes I know she’s not the only person in cfv with Anime Hair but at least Aichi’s lil swoopy bang thing and Kai’s hairstyle and even Chrono’s fucking spiral could happen with enough hairspray and patience but how does Kourin’s ponytail hold her hair up??? The ponytail only seems to be connected to the hair in the loop, by all logic it should fall off the top of her head but it doesn’t how does it work 😭

#cfv #tatsunagi kourin #you don’t want to know how many times I’ve thought abt this and just had to take a couple minutes #like if you were doing a cosplay wig ig you could create her little loop thing with the same method some cosplayers use for pigtails #(i.e. the little tube that you’d just stick the ponytail on top of) #but how is supposed to work in the show?? #‘if you’re so concerned about how her hair works why aren’t you more concerned about the possession or the supernatural forces?’ #IT’S CALLED SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF #yes I can accept card games that influence the fate of a planet but Kourin’s hair? that is actually where I draw the line #Kourin’s logically unsecured hair loops just haunts and vexes me #‘maybe it’s a hairclip/comb’ the hair tie falls to the ground like a ribbon during lj & Misaki wears it around her wrist in lm #‘maybe she just has a rlly short strand of hair at the top of her head that she secures it to’ #first of all OUCH that’d hurt second of all we see her take it down so we probably would’ve noticed the shorter piece. #plus how tf would she get the hair tie around both her loop of longer hair and the shorter piece? it’d be real difficult. #I definitely think about this too much when it doesn’t even matter #both bc she’s fictional and bc I’m not planning to try to replicate her hairstyle #but c’est la vie #rekka’s is crazy too (the hair in her drills is probably longer than her hair in the back since they’re curly) but whatever
