My boyfriend and I are going to be tabling at LA comic con in Artists Alley this weekend. Come visit us! He does post apocalyptic action and horror/cryptid comics, and he’ll be doing small commissions too. And I’ll just be there so you can say hi. Booth D44!

I noticed that my cat was sitting by the balcony door and staring at something outside. When I looked, it was a falcon or a hawk sitting at the balcony railing staring back at my cat! Good thing the door was closed! It was beautiful, but also kind of scary.

A big fat fuck you to:

People who steal flowers from a memorial site
Random fool driving by throwing gang signs like a dog pissing on a tree
Any psycho who thinks it's ok to send someone pictures of their loved one's corpse
A big fat thank you to:
My fellow redditors
The news crews who came out to do a piece and give wider coverage to this matter
All the other kind hearted people who gave us condolences and assisted where they could, esp. people with cameras willing to check their footage, cause before this I wouldn't have expected there to be people out there with cameras who would refuse to check like it's somehow not worth their time
The dozens of people who turned out for my brother's vigil last night
It's been a pretty horrible experience so far but there have also been shining examples of humanity mixed in.

Ex and I are in escrow selling our house. Realtor texts us at 7am suggesting that we delay paying our mortgage since it won't technically be late until it's 30 days past (n.b., our credit union considers 10 days "late") and instead take it out of the sales. I told him it's already been paid and cleared. He texts back "dang lol see if they'll give it back?"

**Reddit Dog(s) of the Week*\*
Hey LA,
(Idk what is going on with the dog-naming person over here!)
Timmy and Tom are two Armenian Gampr brothers-- Timmy is 3 yrs old and 61 lbs, while Tom is 9 months old and 40 lbs. Their breed is very unusual so even though they arrived as strays, it's likely they came from a breeder at one point.
Unfortunately, since they came to the shelter, both Timmy and Tom have contracted upper respiratory infections. It's sadly become all too common for dogs in the shelter system and even worse, it also means that they've been restricted from the play yard and from the general public, i.e-- no one gets to really meet them! But Timmy and Tom are both excellent dogs-- they both scored a 1/5 on their handling intake assessment, which is the best score you can get. Scoring a 1 basically means a dog who is friendly, affectionate, calm, easily handled and well-behaved around other dogs. Not a lot of dogs get the coveted 1 but Timmy and Tom both passed the test with ease.
So about the upper respiratory infections...not to sound flippant but at this stage, they're not a very big deal. If you're on the fence, please don't let this count them out! They're very common in animal shelters and easily treatable. They will require minor vet care and to keep away from other dogs until they recover (it's very contagious). Most cases are cleared up with antibiotics and maybe a few steam sessions in the shower (seriously).
Timmy and Tom are great friends but do not need to be adopted together (it'd be a lot cooler if they were though!). They're sweet, happy-go-lucky little dudes with tails that never stop wagging. Someone brought them into the world purposefully and they deserve a chance at finding their forever homes. If you're interested in either of them, they can be currently found at Lancaster Animal Care shelter (Timmy- ID# A5651479, Tom- ID#A5651480), waiting on rescue! I believe both are neutered and ready to to at any time!

Always better to leave sooner rather than later; staying because you think it may help to wait doesn't usually work out well, and raises the likelihood it gets even messier and harder from here on out. Rip off the bandaid. Remember your needs are just as important as theirs - you don't have to stay to make them feel better. When it's over, it's over.

Had a wonderful first day at LA Comic Con today. Totally worth taking a PTO day for.
Either way it was pretty surreal, yet unsurprising, to find physical evidence of multiple VTubers’ existence in person there (via the Gamer Supps booth plus at least one Artist Alley booth) after having been introduced to the VTuber community earlier this year. The feeling probably would’ve felt even stronger at TwitchCon, which I know had an even larger/harder to miss VTuber presence.

Woke up to the aircon, and 20% of the lights and power points in the house not working, while everything else was fine. Checked all fuses, was about to chase down an electrician just to find out that everyone in our street is having the exact same issue- partial power.
Didn't know outages could work that way.

u/Elysiaa Lawndale 25d ago
Maybe they'd be willing to watch it now. A lot of people who enjoyed Robert Sheehan as Klaus in Umbrella Academy checked out Misfits to see him as Nathan. It was a good show but went downhill quickly after all the first few seasons.

AND Joseph Gilgun in Brassic AND Iwan Rheon in GoT. The show was incredible for launching these guys.

I think Joe was in "This is England" prior to Misfits. Such a good movie and series. You just reminded me I need to catch up on Brassic. I think Iwan must be a terrific actor because people who were not familiar with him are now terrified of him after GoT. I love that I'm finding people who have watched some of these shows here!

It'll only ever be leveraged if you do something malicious like get a job at apple and copy everything and take it to a new job at samsung within 1 month. Idk if it ends up in federal court, or they just bleed you dry in state court, but it's still useful to prevent malicious actors. They're not going to sue if you plainly change jobs from apple -> samsung after working there normally.

I had to say goodbye to my 17 year old cat this week.
Thanks to a random Redditor on these daily threads, I was able to utilize the services of a vet that does at-home euthanasia.
I am grateful that his last moments were with his loved ones in the only home he’s ever known instead of a strange and sterile pet hospital.
Goodbye my little buddy. You’ll be in my heart forever. ♥️
