#will be doing extensive research to care for it

[mattastr0phic]

What’s myr’s daily life like at the foundation? Know you've talked about her working with animals

Here's a general overview!

Myriad doesn't travel as much as he used to as a field researcher, mostly interacting with onsite anomalies rather than those in their direct environment except in cases where it's required. He changes sites every few months, but hates planes, so tries to sleep through flights.

Usually he'll go through tests 2-3 times a day depending on how extensive the care is for each subject, what he's scheduled for, and what tests are being run.

Aside from work, Myriad has a moderate amount of free time, but having his special interest woven into his job means that spending time with it still feels blended with work. So he comes up with new pranks to break the monotonous loop. He hates feeling stuck in a loop. Her therapist says that "doing something new" doesn't have to go that far, but she thinks it does.

That's Myriad's typical days at the Foundation :.]

Update because @the-red-planet-mars said that it would be a good way of motivating me

I have started planning my English homework but it is really boring and I don't want to do it. Genuinely, please motivate me to do the whole entire thing because I really don't want to ask my teacher for an extension. I know she would probably give it to me, particularly because I have two of my GCSE papers that morning, but I have asked her for so many extensions this year and I would feel so bad if I asked her for another one. Why are English papers so boring though?

I have updated the whiteboard with my 'Aeneid' translation.

I have found a Quizlet with the entire vocabulary list necessary for the Spanish GCSEs and I have created one with the vocabulary relating to 'The Aeneid' that I will need for the End of Year exams, though I might have to update it soon.

I just did an Italian listening practice paper. I genuinely disagree with the mark scheme but I got 39/40 anyhow. I technically transcribed one of them incorrectly but I rushed that part and will be more careful tomorrow so we won't count that.

I started planning what I will be saying for my French oral, particularly regarding the picture, but I will be planning practice questions after I have done my two Italian papers tomorrow and I will just casually ignore the fact that the reading paper exists because it is not too bad and I have it on Friday anyhow. I will probably do a practice paper, but not now is not the time, despite it being more tempting the writing one.

I still desperately need to practice my Italian grammar and then do a practice writing paper, since thus far I have only done my mocks as practice. I should probably research Virgil and also actually do my English homework, but that is a problem for later. If you could possibly motivate me, without just casually spamming the comments, I would genuinely appreciate that basically pretend that there are the same rules as last time.

finally went to the orchid show at the botanical garden, GOD i love all those funky flowers. they’re so weird, and so varied. there’s flowers that smell like chocolate, and roses, and sweet vanilla. and petals in every shade of purple i can imagine. and flowers the size of my palm, and petals littler than my pinky fingernail. incredible.

i bought an oncidium with tiny red flowers that smells like the sweet pea lotion from bath & body works.

#literally terrified i will kill it #will be doing extensive research to care for it #i’ve managed phalenopsis orchids but not oncidiums

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.

#B'Elanna's difficulty with Klingon myths and religion (especially due to her internalized racism) #Chakotay's current strong belief in his own spirituality despite his initial complete rejection of it (and how B'Elanna seems to admire #and have talked with Chakotay about it extensively in the past given how many specifics she's aware of) #Neelix's belief in an afterlife being the only thing that comforted him after his entire family was killed - the knowledge that he would be #able to reunite with them again and that knowledge being ripped away from him #Does he still believe? Are there other aspects of his previous spiritual beliefs that are thrown into question? #Just because it isn't 'real' does it make it unimportant? How do we even know whether or not it's 'real'? #He died and doesn't remember reaching that tree and seeing his family - does that mean it didn't happen? #Tuvok's line in 'Innocence' about how he's begun to have doubts about whether or not a katra exists and what happens after someone dies #and his firm ties to Vulcan spirituality and ritual #ALL SO INTERESTING!!!!!!!! #star trek voyager #I don't think it'd be a calm or healthy conversation either - they're not therapists and I don't think anyone but Chakotay #would be particularly careful with his words #and before you say Tuvok's a Vulcan so he would be let me remind you that Tuvok told B'Elanna to her face that he thought Klingons #were basically savages - he is INDELICATE to say the least #Neelix is careful with his words bc he's a people pleaser for survival but also he has a tendency to bother people and be overly pushy #and I think he'd do a lot of research and be the one leading the conversation/the reason they get on the topic and continue on it #B'Elanna wouldn't want to talk about it. She wants to talk about it the least. But she must!!!! Bc the episode demands it!! #st voy

Rabbits are not beginner pets. There is a fuckton of research that needs to into owning rabbits. But here's some general advice:

You need to neuter and spay your rabbits. Rabbits are extremely prone to cancer (their evolutionary survival tactic isn't to be sturdy, it's to proliferate like crazy). The majority (yes, majority) of female rabbits will develop uterine tumors if they are not spayed or bred. Male rabbits must be neutered for similar reasons. This also helps behaviorally, as male rabbits can be a nightmare around other rabbits (especially other males) if not neutered or spayed. They can do serious, permanent bodily injury to each other. Rabbits can be very vicious. They also pee everywhere and spray. 👎

You need to check their poop regularly for health and consistency. This will often be your first sign that your rabbit is unwell, dehydrated, ill, etc. Rabbits hide their illness extremely well and only begin to "look sick" at near-death, in many cases. You will also have to check for very, very slight behavioral and mood changes and visit the vet regularly. It is better to be safe than sorry. What appears to be mild lethargy could be pneumonia.

Rabbits can and should be litter trained! Paper litter is best. Wood shavings can be inhaled and cause respiratory issues. Some rabbits do well with hay, but others will have a party and throw it all over the place or eat soiled hay (its normal for rabbits to eat their poop, directly from the source to redigest, but old poop and urine isn't great). If you use newspaper shreddings ALWAYS look for ones that use ingestible ink.

Adopt, do not buy from pet shops. But if you already did, you need to get your rabbit's sex checked again. It is very difficult to tell the sex when rabbits are young, and pet store employees will often get them wrong. Have them checked at the vet if they're still little; or if they're at sexual maturity already, you can check yourself (it's obvious when they're older because Balls).

Rabbits need a LOT of space... Like a lot. Petsmart cages are torture, unless you're using them as a litter box (even then, just buy plastic trays from the dollar store. Lifesavers.) It is best to let them free roam, but if you can't, making a custom cage out of storage cube grids and something sturdy for the floor (or just the floor itself) is a great option. If you go this route, they need daily exercise time, and you should look up appropriate size guides.

Never use grid flooring. If you have hardwood, lay down a towel or blankey so they have somewhere to rest their feet and won't develop sores.

Keep their area free of flies at all times. Flies can kill rabbits if there are enough of them via Fly Strike.

NEVER. FUCKING. LEAVE. YOUR. RABBITS. OUTDOORS.

It's best to change their litter most every day. But again, if you don't have the energy to dump it out that often, you can always just use a fresh litterbox from the dollar store and throw the whole last one away lmao.

Rabbits are social and like friends!

Contrary to popular belief, a rabbit's diet should NOT be pellets! It should be hay (timothy is good. Avoid alfalfa unless they're babies). They will not be able to grind their teeth down if they eat just pellets. They should be given greens daily. Do not give them iceberg lettuce (it makes them gassy).

Root vegetables like carrots are actually kinda junk food for them, but it's a myth that carrots are their favorite food; a rabbit's favorite food is the banana! They lose their absolute shit over bananas. Be careful giving them too much fruit, fruit is to a rabbit what candy is to humans.

Water bowls, not bottles. Those can damage their teeth and discourage drinking (which leads to dehydration).

ALWAYS have a packet of Oxbow Critical Care formula in your fridge. If your vet is closed and your rabbit is not eating, you will need to force feed them in the meantime to prevent G.I. Stasis (which can kill them rather quickly). Crit care is basically a powder with food, vitamins, and minerals you mix with water to make bunny baby food. Many rabbits will straight up eat it out of your hand if you mash a small piece of banana into it! Makes life easier.

Rabbit hidey houses are required. Rabbits can be scared to death. They need a place to hide. If they are spending a lot more time in their hidey house, they may be stressed or sick.

Oftentimes they like toilet paper tubes more than expensive toys.

Try not to make pop noises around rabbits. They hate fireworks. Sounds like their little danger stomp :(. That being said, if they bite you, you can tap the floor once with your palm to communicate to your bunny that you didn't like that.

Rabbits can have attitude especially the smaller ones. Mini lops, my beloved little divas.

#okay im stopping here because it's getting long but DO YOUR RESEARCH #i hope i communicated how much care and attention these fragile fellas need #THIS IS NOT EXTENSIVE. just some pointers. you need to research a lot more #🐇 rambles

[just-bendy]

To Bendy: Do you miss any humans in the studio other than henry?

Well uh, I can't say I've met too many a' them bein' uh, locked in the dungeon an' all. The only other humans besides Henry I know is Joey Drew and Sammy and I hate their guts... So, I can't really answer yer question, sorry about that.

#bendy #batim #batim bendy #ask #anon #noncanon au #(( i know nothing about the humans in the batim universe ahaha #i hear of a janitor so maybe i can add him to the list of humans he knows but he never had a chance to meet anyone else #he was locked in the basement along with all the other rejected bendys #away from the view of most of not all employees #still trying to figure this part out but tbh i dont really care for the non-toon characters enough to do extensive research #all the canon lore and all the fandom lore... its too much #the new game coming out does not help at all ))

god i just thought of the post i saw on here that was somewhat bad writing advice to never quantify anything because it would lead to readers getting immediately nitpicky about the figures (altho this is true) anyway i was just reminded of the single best quantifier in a novel ive ever read. where a character is called six balls because he weighed six balls when he was born. how much does a ball weigh? well that is never specified. a ball weighs as much as 1/6 of six balls when he was born. hope this helps!

#the main problem i had with that post was a commenter being lije #you can use measurements and figures but your characters should immediately refute it! and gave some bad examples #and i was just like man. this is not good advice for everyone this is your writing style and requires a tongue in cheek style BOOK #itd be so out of place in another book! and it bugged me like itd be good advice for everyone lil #anyway you can give specific numbers just be very careful about making sure theyre consistent. i make timelines. i make very careful #planning documents. i do extensive research. i just felt it was bad advice lol #anyway mxtx i hope your writing is going well 🙏🙏🙏🙏

feeling like a Whole Person tonight despite feeling so tired that i could pass away. that's always nice! i don't care for the alternative (feeling so tired that i could pass away coupled with wanting to pass away).

#maybe because i've been doing stuff with my hands #had a first GIS class tonight... ditched it because i realized it would be nearly 6 hours long. twice a week. #i literally and physically cannot do that lmao dropping and getting that money back #will have to look at some university extension programs again instead #local community college only has like one gis class that they can barely get anybody to do so it's cancelled more often than not #but been doing some carving and been taking care of my plants #set up some ginger and garlic and yarrow cuttings to sprout #need to get some larger pots my poor little juniper needs a bigger home #and then some aloe and cactus cuttings are ready to get their own spots too :) #and some research on how to make some diy orchid fertilizer #was going to do some coding practice tonight but siiiigh my brain simply cannot hack it #i think i'm still recovering from doing things on saturday #just gonna have to live with that #watching some resident evil playthroughs and piddling about the house #it's nice #oooh and found some good sdr videos today so i'm excited to pick up radio stuff again when i'm less completely wasted #also a couple of very fitting job listings to apply for that pay way more than what i'm getting now #heartening! #prattling about the self

#might delete this later because i havent actually done extensive research on it #this is purely just based on my own personal opinions #but labour seriously fucked it when they stopped caring about any country in the uk that wasnt england #like a lot of the people in scotland moved from labour to snp especially because of that #because they moved away from their original left wing working class roots #i guess what im trying to say is just that its a shame and this is exactly why we just need independence #we are completely separate countries that are running on different systems and politics #the only thing still being connected to england is doing to us at this point is ensuring we remain held back and dragged down with them #and its sad you know because we voted to remain in the eu during the brexit vote. and i really believe the only reason we didnt get #independence the last time it was voted for is purely because we were for all staying together and staying within the eu. there was just too #much up in the air at that point. and then we got fucked over 2 years later by england voting for brexit. #sigh. anyways like i said i dont actually know anything for fact this is my own personal feelings. but yeah its just a shame really #le text post

experiencing i think burnout for the first time in a couple of years and i did not miss this :))))

#there is so much to get done… and i literally just don’t care #i asked for a one week extension on a paper that was due today bc i haven’t even looked at it in three days #another paper due friday and i’m also about to email the prof and ask for an extension on that too bc it’s a 3000 word paper and i haven’t #started any research for it bc again i’ve barely touched work in the last three days #well i guess that’s actually kinda untrue i got two assignments handed in saturday night which was good #but it’s my complete lack of caring and detachment and the fact that i’m sleeping for 10 hours and still feel exhausted #and also probably not eating objectively the greatest but at least i’m eating period bc cooking feels like such a task #maybe it’s not burnout just seasonal depression idek but like my mood doesn’t feel that low?? it’s literally just a lack of care toward #school work and being physically incapable of doing it when i know i need to #hngngngngnngngngnnnggg not fun at all #talk time

in b4 95% of all websites in june 2024 announce that "for security" they will only work with browsers that use manifest v3

E: "Oooh I'm just gonna use Vivaldi." "I'm just gonna use Brave 😏"

You damn poor pitiful fools! Vivaldi is chromium! Brave is chromium! Edge is chromium! Opera is chromium!

Blink, avast, falkon, Samsung, epic, yandex, and whatever basic "internet" browser your phone came with, all chromium!

Anything on iOS ever, now, is safari (including firefox, brave, vivaldi). If they're chromium, they're limited. If they're safari/webkit, they're limited by apple (y'all already had your extension apocalypse two years ago and now have to, like, install and use three local VPN servers in a trenchcoat that call themselves an ad blocker but still break the *shit* out of a ton of professional work).

If you used Firefox 3+ years ago and it was slow or whatever, there's been a complete rebuild and it rules and is mature and stable. Firefox Android allows extensions, including ublock origin! Marketing and business and research wings of big businesses *do* care about 2% of users, if it can even come back to that.

I wish there were other options, but there aren't, really.

This, legitimately, will shape the rest of your digital lifetimes, however long that is.

#chromium #google chrome #use firefox

imagine Fig asking Ayda if she'd still love her if she was a worm and Ayda takes it the wrong way thinking Fig will turn into a worm soon. This leads to Ayda doing extensive research on how to care for worms. One day Fig comes to the compass point library and notices an empty terrarium and asks Ayda about it. Ayda is bashful but answers,"It is for you. If you become a worm, I will give you the utmost care. I will mist your terrarium. I will put vitamin powder in the soil to keep you healthy. Your well being is most important to me. Even if you become a worm." Fig is touched and almost in tears

Updates to AO3 "Mythology" Fandoms

Hi AO3 users! You may have noticed that recently, fandoms previously canonized as "Mythology" are being updated to "Religion & Lore". This renaming project is part of a wider ongoing process on AO3 about respectful treatment and naming of various religions, spiritual beliefs, faiths, and collections of folklores belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition. This includes both major and minor religions, as well as reconstructionist, ancient, and modern religions.

In the coming months, the term "Mythology" is being phased out of canonical fandom names. This is because of its potential for use as a disparaging term, and the way in which it is used primarily for religions which are already under-represented. Since "mythology" has connotations of being fictional or inferior to the religious beliefs of the speaker or writer, and is unfortunately used in this way by some, the decision has been made to replace this term with something that the Wrangling Committee believes is more inclusive and less derogatory.

After extensive discussion between individuals from varying religious backgrounds and beliefs, including wranglers representing the various fandoms which were being covered, it was felt that "Religion & Lore" was an appropriate and neutral way to describe the bodies of faith, belief, knowledge, and tradition associated with many of these religions which were ancestrally imparted and regional in nature. It is also hoped that this will decrease ambiguous or confused use, allowing people to more accurately describe their works and find works in which they are interested moving forward.

The use of "Ancient" in many of these fandoms' names reflects that these countries still exist but now have different predominant religions or spiritual beliefs. For example, Ancient Greek Religion & Lore (as Greece is now a predominantly Christian country) or Ancient Egyptian Religion (as Egypt is now a predominantly Muslim country). Because "Norse" does not refer to an extant country, region, or culture, it is not necessary to specify that it is historical or ancient in nature.

The names of these fandoms will also have the native language piped, if the English-language demonym is significantly different from the native-language demonym or if there is a culturally specific term based on consultation with individuals who speak these languages as a first language. We hope to give representation to the language of the source culture by doing so.

Each of these changes has been and will continue to be carefully researched and discussed with traditional knowledge keepers and researchers from the cultures represented in the fandoms under discussion.

Many religions face the issue of texts being written long after their events occurred. Unfortunately this is something which is shared across many religious fandoms; AO3 seeks to treat these religious fandoms equally. Care has been taken in researching characters relating to these fandoms, and character tags will be canonized or made a synonym on a case-by-case basis. Fandom tags that are currently synned to the Ancient religious fandoms have been checked as thoroughly as possible to ensure that they are not referring to modern folk tales, and where possible such relatively modern folk tales are canonized as their own fandoms.

(From time to time, ao3org posts announcements of recent or upcoming wrangling changes on behalf of the Tag Wrangling Committee.)

also like adopting pets from rescues nowadays is so hard the applications are wild. “what do you do for a living?” male girlblogger “do you rent or own your living space?” neither, I leech off my mommy “if renting, can you provide written approval for your landlord?” my mommy wants me to get another little cat because she’s a little afraid I’ll kill myself if I don’t have a living creature depending on me “list every animal you’ve owned in the past 10 years and where they are now?” I do not think you should hold the now deceased goldfish I owned as a 13 year old against me, if anything they taught me to do extensive updated research on animal husbandry and made me value animal life. it’s a very sensitive subject to me. “do you promise to keep your pet up to date on all vaccinations and provide veterinary care?” let me put it this way, I tried to get my cat vaccinated against rabies again two months too early because it scares the hell out of me. I made my mom take my childhood cat to the vet for excessive sneezing and it turned out he just inhaled cat litter that day “pay the nonrefundable $70 application fee” actually I think I’ll just go check under dumpsters for my next cat
