older than I used to be

❤❤❤

Its definitely better than what we started with! Her nips, knees/elbows, and under her chin have not really grown back any fur, but her back and tail are almost completely healed! Her face also still has some scarring as well. Im not sure that it will ever completely grow back to normal tbh

But what has come back is very soft and healthy! And shes not itchy amymore either, which was our main concern. We were super worried that she would have a ton of complicated skin issues and allergies, but all we had to do was get her on consistent flea medication (after a short course of antibiotics) and shes feeling great. Must have mostly been flea allergy dermatitis.

She also gets medicated baths and a nice medicated skin cream massage, so the skin that is still left is feeling much softer. Its still very pink though, and she's got a lot of weird skin tags lol but thats to be expected with her age. None are looking like they are anything concerning at this point.

Over all, still a little crusty and saggy looking!! But shes comfortable and happy :) so we don't mind

Shes also on carprofen for her arthritis, and holy crap its turned her into a younger dog!! Bounding and running through the house and yard! Its very very cute.

When she went to the vet for her check-up, the Dr wrote "pendulous teats" in her medical record 💀💀

"My supermodel. See how fucking beautiful you look here. You are hockey and sex. Everyone in this city sees this billboard and wants to fuck you. But only I can. Only I get to fuck the sexy billboard man."

He keeps Shane this way for ages, not touching him, bringing him right to the edge, only to stop and talk about another part of Shane's photo he likes like he's talking about a work of art in a gallery. Then he goes right back to fucking him.

When he finally wraps a hand around Shane's cock and tells him that it's okay to let go, that he's done so well and that Ilya wants to see him come for him now, Shane comes so hard he almost blacks out.

It is peak situationship era, Ilya is in some away game and not against Montreal, Boston has booked him the room and he's sharing it with Marlow or something

And Ilya normally would like it, think it's funny, send Hollander a picture of the window with some chirp, get a bit worked up about it when he's alone... But he's not alone, and Cliff thinks this is HILARIOUS

So Cliff takes pictures of this window and this huge billboard, and you can see a bit of the room, the bed, they're actually nice pictures

And he starts to talk about it at the group chat "hey, any of you lucky fellas also have a room facing North? 😏" and no, no one does so what is Cliff on about?

So Cliff sends the picture to the groupchat and it explodes, all sort of comments, they're acting like pigs, shooting the shit, the saner and less dirty ones being things like "didn't know it was that type of hotel" "I think that room must have cost extra" "I bet the sheets get changed much more often in that side of the hotel", and, because they're not in Montreal "do you think Hollander's fans know?"

And Ilya is already trying to keep it together after watching his straight teammates all slobber over a giant half naked Shane Hollander, sure it's all jokes, but some of them really went into detail, some locked in and pointed out specific drops of moisture amplifyed by %10.000. Some of them are making plans to go to Cliff and Ilya's room later to see it in person, for what?? But he keeps it togheter, scowls and just ignores it, even if the team is trying to bring him into their jokes "Something tells me Roz won't be able to sleep"

But Ilya is keeping it together, that is until Cliff says "Oh, Hollander fans MUST know"

And Cliff tweets the picture of the hotel room and it's window, in all his glory, taken with his very expensive phone with amazing camera, and captions it "For all of you sick fucks out there, if you're going to Buffalo, you might want to stay at the North facing side of the Wyatt hotel... It's got a view"

Then, at a training, a professor told us something that changed my view entirely.

We are not measuring race - we're measuring RACISM (especially in the US)

And that has fundamentally changed my work and my view of race, gender, socioeconomic status, and most other identifiers. There is repeated documented evidence that experiencing racism (or most any form of bigotry) has detrimental health effects. The increased stress, the withheld and subpar care at hospitals and clinics, the fucking history of redlining - all of this had led to repeated reports on how Black people in America live shorter lives, how Black mothers have higher mortality rates, how Black children under perform in schools. None of this is because of their race - its because of the current experiences and historical impacts of racism.

Die Mimik der Tethys (The Expressions of Tethys) is a high sea buoy (last was in Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin, 2024), that is suspended in space and moves synchronously to another buoy in the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. Continuously transmitting motion data via satellite to its relocated double, the information guides eight electric motors and cable winches, which precisely reproduce the buoy's movement in the ocean. The buoy functions as a hypnotising machine that inevitably leads to the idea of waves lapping around inside the exhibition space, creating an ocean in the minds of people.

2) the unsexiness of the Velcro sound

3) the barely-qualifies-as-kick of the leg kick

4) the fact that I truly cannot tell if the slip was planned or not

But Ilya is coaching and obviously Shane is an incredibly supportive husband so would go to all the games that he can and would know the team. And Ilya will work on things at home and Shane cannot help himself from reading over Ilya's shoulder and offering tweaks and corrections because seeing them play is enough for the greatest hockey mind of his generation to see alot of their strengths and weaknesses. Eventually Ilya just hands him the ipad and that's how they go back to having the C and the A- this time for coach and assistant coach.

And Shane doesn't think Ilya needs him because Ilya was always the better camp coach but Ilya points out how incredible Shane always was at guiding their teammates to be better and not knowing how to teach children is different to coaching grown professionals.

Very excited to finally share some pictures of my Dread Pirate Frogerts build! I've been thinking about making this outfit for my Kermit for a while now, but the proper motivation to actually get this done was hearing that Cary Elwes was announced as a guest for my local comic convention! So with any luck Dread Pirate Frogerts will be getting to meet the real Westley very soon.

Kermit as Westley is obvious but Piggy is not Buttercup; she's Inigo. You look me in the eyes and tell me what other Muppet would obsessively seek revenge and murder their sworn enemy.

Annie Sue or Denise as Buttercup. It doesn't really matter which, because Piggy will call her a tramp and karate chop her at the end of the movie to get Westley.

Sweetums as Fezzik

Sam the eagle as Vizzini

Statler and Waldorf as two Ancient Booers

Rizzo as the R.O.U.S.

Gonzo as The Albino

Dr. Bunson Honeydew as Miracle Max

Beaker as Valerie

Swedish Chef as The Wedding Officiant

Scooter as Yellin

Pepe as The King

Annie Sue or Denise is Count Rugen. It doesn't really matter which, because Piggy will call her a tramp and karate chop her at the end of the movie to get W̶e̶s̶t̶l̶e̶y̶ revenge.

Daniel Craig as Prince Humperdink

Fozzie as The Grandfather

Robin the Frog as The Grandson

Various cameos: Electric Mayhem, Clifford, and Rowlf as musicians at the wedding, Crazy Harry is responsible for all of the explosions in the fire swamp

Muppets I couldn't think of obvious spots for but definitely need to be in the movie: Uncle Deadly, Walter, and Lew Zealand.

I think I’ve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause I’m obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago

Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???

Here’s some pics from the workroom when I visited in November, and some pics from in-progress pieces before they were finished, if that gives you a better idea of how it works ^^

And here’s some finished pieces!

Also updates on the phoenix!

You can kinda see the metallic details on some of the fabrics chosen! I love them. Also a glimpse at some of the bits cut out to use in the tail!

I was given two options for background as my mom was finishing up the bird part—

I ended up picking the greener one cause I love all the gold stuff, and my mom added even more gold details for that mythical feel

So this is the current most recent form!
