lost dog
he's a pretty little thing, seems a Pomeranian/terrier mix, gold and white, with perky ears and a curly tail. looks rather like a miniature golden husky.
the office people will take care of him until they can track down the owner or animal control picks him up, and in case of the latter I know he'll go to PAWS, which is a no-kill shelter, so I know he'll be well taken care of regardless. I hope he goes home, or finds a new, better one soon.
lost dog
well ok then. I just "rescued" a small dog that was wandering around the apartment complex. dunno where he lives; he doesn't seem to belong to anyone in the complex, but he's got a harness and collar, is in good health, is quite well-behaved, and wasn't particularly hungry or thirsty, so I suspect he escaped very recently. I can't keep him in my apartment, he immediately went after the cats and they both puffed up 5x regular size, so he's down at the rental office for the duration.
@shel ah, here it is! https://www.technologyreview.com/s/538866/the-social-network-illusion-that-tricks-your-mind/ sorry for the delay, was afk. XD

Depression /anxiety care tip
Hi Seattle friends (and elsewhere!)
The rain is lovely but this means we get less sun. Make sure you find other ways to get vitamin D, they help me a lot compared to when I don't have it!
If you also suffer from SAD consider getting a treatment lamp. There are some reasonably priced ones on Amazon all the time. I went big and have had mine for almost 10 years so if you can save up for a real good one it will probably pay off for ya!
@shel you're a hub person! like that article that was linked a while back that I boosted about the power of certain nodes in social networks. USE YOUR POWER FOR GOOD (AND SILLY)
@ThorGoLucky yes, I will greatly enjoy doing that when it is time for me to go to sleep. however that time is not yet now.
boobs, my commissions, rad artists that could do with your support
I don't know if I've posted this one here but it's hella rad - commissioned it when my feelings of dysphoria were hitting pretty hard
anyway, the artist (@lizardsmooches@twitter) had a hell of a shitty day yesterday and is taking ko-fi sketch requests (SFW or NSFW) if you want to help out! https://twitter.com/Lizardsmooches/status/909919377444745216
Network scientists have discovered how social networks can create the illusion that something is common when it is actually rare https://www.technologyreview.com/s/538866/the-social-network-illusion-that-tricks-your-mind/

@zebratron2084 *bitebite* I will resume hectoring you for social interaction next week, dammit. this is not exactly apropos of the thread but sort of indirectly maybe? idk hi :D
@Kistaro *nodnod* thanks, I will check into it. and yeah... I've been using a new password standard that I think is pretty secure, but... well, yeah. :|
@Kistaro what password manager do you use? I have one that's... less than optimally secure, and I'm interested in finding one that's better, especially if it's relatively easy to use.
