annerb-fic:

almost time for my MDZS Big Bang 2025 fic to go live. I’m posting the first two chapters Friday! (Happy birthday, Wei Wuxian, I got you a giant whumpfest for a gift. You’re welcome.) For a little preview, here’s the basic info and summary.

blood & bone

Summary: 

Zhiji.

It is just a saying, a word with no real spiritual or physical implications. It is not a manifested bond. Merely a description for a way of being, a thing agreed upon between two people. An attachment grown and cultivated and lived, moment by moment, one choice after another.

It is not a real thing, until one impossibility after another forges it as fact.

One of them falls at Nightless City. The other is left to pick up the pieces. 


Relationships: Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji & Lan Xichen

Tags: angst, angst with a happy ending, alternate universe - canon divergence, grief, mourning, violence, injury, blood, mild body horror, loss of bodily autonomy, captivity, major character death, implied child death, resurrection, background Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao, non-linear storytelling

Okay that’s skillz

Training herding dogs side of tumblr, please explain

It’s called shedding. Sometimes you need to single out some animals from others in the herd for some reason, this lets you do it in a field relatively quickly and with less stress for the animals compare to other methods (like running them all through a chute or a race).

It’s a higher level sheepdog skill, they usually do it in trials too.

There’s a cool video on it here

Dogs with jobs are always superb but I’m especially delighted to see that the Mission Impossible theme still has its uses. 💜

Ella Minnow Pea book cover. A novel in letters by Mark Dunn. “There’s a whiff of a classic about Ella Minnow Pea” quote from the Christian Science Monitor. Cover image shows a white girl in vintage frilled hat and dress, a single minnow fish, and an open pod of peas, in that order on a plain yellow background.ALT

Me adding attributes to this book: comedic, witty, clever, fun—

Me describing the topics of the book: free speech, thought control, censorship, authoritarianism, living under a police state, weaponized religion… and umm… the human spirit?

my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she’s too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn’t read my file because it explains that I’m not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it’s impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn’t believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she “looks fatter than that”. So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?

My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.

My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.

There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.

Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.

BEFORE YOU CLICK A LINK!

Reblog this post :) Especially if you’re on mobile, you’ll lose the post if you click the link without thinking. Take a note from your elders before you

Interesting note: It definitely uses whoever you’re following now, not at that date. Even the 2020 one includes a lot of people I was absolutely not following yet in Feb 2020, which is actually kind of cool, I can see what they were reblogging from this fandom before I got into it.
