hey guys just wanted to let you know i might die updates soon
so: a huge earthquake just hit my area and my stuff is sort of screwed. there’s a gas leak in my house and we got a lot of damage, and on top of that there’s a tsunami coming, but we’re headed to high ground so i’ll be physically safe
my family is safe but we had to shut off our gas and our heat, which. isn’t ideal in an alaskan winter but we still have electricity. our house is standing but there’s structural damage and our chimney literally fell off to somewhere?? it’s one of those little pipe ones so we haven’t found it but it means we’re getting a lot of cold air. it’ll be a while before the government gives us money to make sure our house doesn’t fall apart if they do at all. in the meantime we need to get some more blankets and maybe one of those plug in heaters? uhhh. things are pretty screwed up in my city right now. lots of bridges and roads are looking like this:
if you guys wanna send me some money for supplies while we figure out how to get heat back that would be pretty good, i know i’ve been making a lot of donation posts recently but i didn’t get enough to hold us over after getting hit this hard
another update: the city no longer has water and power… we need money for bottled water and i don’t know what else. i’m scared as hell right now because people are saying we might get an even bigger aftershock
I was concerned that there was no price listed per sq ft on the source site, so I looked it up and they are CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. The bigger homes cost around $34.74/sq.ft (one of the smallest runs ~$15k, but a 4-bed 4-bath home is ~$66.6k, which is damn affordable when comparable homes in my area are closer to five times that price). Color me in love. [x]
if youve never physically been in the presence of like, a real live wolf, and you probably wont get the chance to, heres some stuff about them you should know
a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going
wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that
they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not
a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting
a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed
if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now
young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it
letting a wolf eat out of your hand is actually not remotely frightening, and youll want to do it all day
I wanna know who did this research.
well, i did!
GOD. BLESS. I volunteered at a wolf sanctuary for a few years, and this is SO ACCURATE. (Especially that greeting, omg being frenched by a wolf is AN EXPERIENCE let me just say.)
• ALSO: forget hair ties. wolves will steal them. they just want to rub their floofeh necks all over your head without obstacles (automatic best stylist award)
