retrieval

via https://ift.tt/3cUxNXZ

Yesterday afternoon we went to get our cat back from Dude’s mom’s house (my mother-not-law). She loves it at Skin-Grammy’s house, and always comes home smelling faintly of scented candles. (To my sorrow, I pointed this out, and I think MNL thought it was a criticism. Listen I fucking love scented candles, and don’t burn any because I can’t handle Dude’s mockery about it.)

Chita never likes to be retrieved from Skin-Grammy’s. Mostly, she hates the car, but it always makes me feel sort of bad. Last night we hung out for a bit and actually ordered pizza and had dinner together; MNL is about to go visit Dude’s sister in CA, now that they’re all vaccinated, and so she’s trying to eat everything in the house that might go bad, and we haven’t been grocery shopping since we got back into town, so.

I tried luring Chita closer to me, so I took a photo at one point where I lay on the floor and stalked her. I thought it was quite funny:

When it came time I scooped her up and she put her claws in and we took her home. She forgave me within an hour or so, and sat on the desk bonking her head periodically against mine. Much faster than of yore, she used to sulk for hours.

Anyway. Still haven’t gone grocery shopping so today’s packed lunch is a bit dire… yes I have ez-mac in the plastic cup, don’t mock me it’s saving me today. (Your picture was not posted)

this blue hellsite

do love you all, really!, and if tagging is too hard then don't, it just means i gotta unfollow, please feel free to keep following, interact all you want, i'm not mad at you, but i can't use my dash like this, it's worse than ever

so– as a side note, I thought this was just a function of the terrible internet connectivity at work, at my sister’s house, at home, and then I remembered we have FiOS at home and actually at work too and really I am so spoiled for Internet that it’s absolutely not Internet speed’s fault at all. No, it’s Tumblr.

So, about 40-60% of the images all y’all put on my dash never load, no matter what I do. There was one gifset in particular that from the scant caption (NONE OF YOU FUCKING CAPTION IMAGES ON THIS SITE ARGH) I could tell was likely something I really wanted to see, and no matter what the fuck I did I could not get a single image of it to load, so (for real though, i opened it in a tab, clicked thru to the original source, reloaded it at home, reloaded it at work– nowhere, there was no way I was ever going to see any of those images, i even viewed source and tried to find the images directly, no dice)

anyway. (CAPTION YOUR FUCKING IMAGES GUYS. Or at least tag what fandom it is? mournful pleading face)

(Yeah– if we were mutuals and I’ve recently unfollowed you it’s because you frequently post large gifsets and don’t so much as tag what fandom it’s from. I’m probably going to unfollow some more people, and don’t take it personally, but my dash is unusable. Tag your shit, or don’t I guess and just DM me if anything important happens to you or you see a thing you think I’d actually like. I blacklist shit I’m not interested in and it helps so much but if you don’t tag your shit I can’t do that and have no choice but to just unfollow.)

I had to post this screenshot because it is, in fact, probably much much funnier this way.

[img desc: Tumblr post that says “Behind every fanfic update, there is a writer being turned into THIS as they await your reactions” and then there’s just a blue fucking gradient labeled “image” and two commenters have reacted with “Never before has a cat gif so succinctly summed up my emotions” and “I wish this weren’t so accurate”] (Your picture was not posted)

(I was going to reply to your post, but as tumblr sometimes makes that difficult I thought I'd do it

ahh, thank you– I actually wasn’t complaining about reaction gifs particularly, generally you can get the gist of what’s going on in a post from that, and I don’t mind them.

It’s just that I mind that Tumblr doesn’t load any goddamned images, and so many people I love so dearly and enjoy following, in some cases have enjoyed following for YEARS, post what turn out to be large blank screens and nothing but on a regular basis, and those who tag them accordingly are easy to filter, or at least to catch the gist of what I’m missing, but many people just post stuff, and if there’s no caption and no tags of any kind then not only do I have no way of knowing what those blank screens were, I also can’t filter them off my dash to save on frustration.

oh ha ha I can’t tag this, since I’m doing it on a browser without xkit installed, haaa. (Your picture was not posted)

Urbe Aureā https://archiveofourown.org/series/1635157 by dsudis https://tmblr.co/mi4JURR6RANSHn-yhHvMOmA

Every once and a while I face plant into a new Witcher ship and this week it’s Emhyr/Geralt after reading this wonderful series by one of my absolute favorite fic writers! Mostly I just really needed to draw Ciri in her ballroom dress with her two dads from the second part of the series. (Your picture was not posted)
