good people, just a moment!

A regular part of my job is trying to reach out to people who have been quietly trying to make their community a better place; the volunteers, the teachers, the fucking. People who rehabilitate injured wild owls in a Quonset hut in the woods, and to a one this is the kind of person who immediately reviles at recognition. The kind of person who immediately says that they never got into this to get praise for it, and that they’d infinitely prefer to quietly plug away at this anonymously forever.

Me, before I saw this: old timey dancing in cartoons has to be over-exaggerated for effect

OMG I CAN HAZ TUMBLR

When medicine is holding the migraine back but you can still kinda feel it in the distance waiting to return

Smoke from the Boundary Waters wildfires has been blowing in and it is so so so bad here. AQI higher than I've ever seen it to the point where I feel like something must be malfunctioning but there's multiple local stations reporting numbers above 500. It is visibly smoky and orange outside and even with windows shut and AC and air purifiers cranked it still smells like a campfire inside. Wildfire smoke absolutely wrecks my health and this is the worst I've ever seen it so I'm anticipating the World's Worst Crash coming soon.
