I could post on LJ's latest clusterfuck, but it just makes me tired to think about. So here's a post of mishmash instead.

Did I tell you guys I witnessed a car accident on Sunday? It freaked me out a bit, enough to pop a Xanax. In the right line just behind me (I was in the left) I saw this car get cut off by a van that had been following me. It then appeared that the cut-off driver tried to speed up to pass the van on the right, swerved, and then overcorrected to end up swooping in a soft L-shape to slam nose first into the pylon across the road, coming to a halt perpendicular to the left line. Yikes. I'd be surprised if there weren't injuries there. I dug my phone out and called 911, but someone else already had, which is good. I'm really glad I wasn't a bit further back or I'd have been caught up in it. Lesson to drivers: if someone cuts you off, call them an asshole and let it go.

Saw an interesting post on kidfic via metafandom today. My initial reaction was "blech, no" but then I thought about it and really, it's not fic about characters' kids that I really hate; after all, scathachdhu wrote a hilarious and adorable one about Rukia and Renji's kid. It's the fact that 99.99% of kidfic is SO BAD. It doesn't help that there are lots of fics about my OTP's kids, and not a single damn one of them has been worth a horse's patoot. Pavlovian conditioning, I guess. But there was this adorable and sweet fic that I read today, so that's good.

Good animal article: Dolphin saves whales.
Bad animal article: 800 dogs removed from a triple-wide trailer. 800 OF THEM, HOLY GOD.

I really want this shirt.

How did I know breeding was going to enter into that story? You don't get 800 dogs purely through hoarding. Of course they're small so it's easier.

Canada just seized 100 horses from a breeder/hoarder, too. http://www.rescue100.com/

I saw that thing about the trailer and ... WTF? How do you even fit 800 dogs in a space that small? Horrific.

800 DOGS I AM NOT EVEN CLICKING ON THAT.

Here's the thing with kid!fic. 90% of it is about people who are identical copies of their parents. Who the fuck cares? I already read that, it's called canon.
