if you don’t know about unpaywall and are researching something or studing or just want to have access to knowledge but don’t go to uni or whatever, it might be pretty helpful. it’s a free, legal browser extension widget thing that unlocks open access academia. it can unlock something like 17 million articles so it’s pretty useful if you want to keep up with academia but don’t have access to institutional repositories or subscription databases. 

(sci-hub has more access afaik but yknow. illegally. and unpaywall is still pretty great, especially at pushing subscription databases to make more stuff open access by being a legit example of what pirate repositories have been pushing for so long)

Progress picture. A stranger is holding her lead and she’s still standing!

Not pulling or slinking on ground.

On this day, three years ago:

  • Had to be walked on two leads, collar and harness
  • Standing like this was a huge improvement
  • Would bark and growl at anyone who came within 2m of us
  • Had to be dragged into stores
  • Didn’t really play
  • 24/7 scared and unhappy
  • Major bolt risk
  • No recall
  • No commands at all

On this day, today:

  • Can be walked on one loose lead
  • Doesn’t bark or growl at people
  • Sometimes even curious about people
  • Wags at people!
  • Leads me into stores
  • Non stop play
  • Still a little easily startled but not scared very happy
  • Not a bolt risk
  • Recalled from two nearby dog fights and a fright on the weekend
  • Offlead agility intro in close quarters to strange dogs
  • 54 known commands and another 4 as work in progresses

🐶 so much progress

I always got very excited when it would spell out ACDC

OMG SAME FOR BOTH

I always got very afraid when it was the same letter 4 times in a row

when I was 4 or 5, my mom was a prof at a college and she used to hand me the scantron sheet before she wrote the exam and let me colour whatever lettered bubble i wanted for each answer. if i coloured two by accident, she made an ‘all of the above’ option. one time she gave me it and i coloured the ‘a’ bubble for each of the 130 questions except for the second last one and she just went with it

later on, she told me that it was the most entertaining exam she had ever watched her students take

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

  1. i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 
  2. most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 
  3. im not a pissbaby

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

^absolutely

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌

yesyesyesyes

7. White people explored the world and found every place there were people. They left absolutely no hole unfucked. And then they wanna complain when they can’t use their expired coupons CAROL.

8. I am a white people and I don’t trust white people.

White people offended by white people jokes: Heeeyy, we’re not boring!

PoC offended by PoC jokes: Hey, we’re not murderers, thieves or junkies, stop. 

White people: Don’t be so sensitive.
