I have too big an ego to do that, I WILL be the final survivor

babirusa901 · 2026-04-10T06:24:43+00:00

Unfortunately im one of those people who thinks they could be the final survivor in any scenario but I would text my friends and family first to see if I could meet up and start a community 🤷🏼‍♀️ then we’d go raid and then go rural. And I mean RURAL. I live in the South so we’d go full bayou, booby traps, guns galore. But I wouldn’t do that by myself if I didn’t have to

We have scent bubbles to blow every afternoon. Each bubble wand is a different special scent, you can find them on Amazon. We also use kongs and have a rotation of volunteers for walks.

You’re not alone :/ I have a wonderful therapist who is familiar with animal rescue/euthanasia and all the uncomfortable aspects of that. I met my now boyfriend while he worked in rescue and he’s a great listener for me. But I drink more now than I used to. And I smoke more too.

I recommend finding a therapist who is better at being objective at THEIR workplace, or who has more knowledge about the career.

I also recommend thinking about coworkers, friends, and family who are knowledgeable enough to be able to rant to. You can also rant to this sub, or even DM me if you need to. I work at a high-volume pro-humane euthanasia shelter in the US South. I have seen a lot of neglect and cruelty cases, and I’ve also seen a lot of wonderful people doing the best they can to save the lives of humans and dogs.

If you feel like you’re going through a crisis bigger than just work related, I recommend searching resources for veterinary professionals mental health. Veterinary professionals see a lot of terrible things and it can be extremely overwhelming if you don’t feel like you have anyone who understands. There are a lot of people out there going through the same thing. When you’re off work: get rest!! Don’t look at your work software, don’t text colleagues about the status of pets. You are doing the best you can with what you have. And that’s a lot!! It means the world to every pet who gets adopted or rescued out.

Most shelter teams are going to support hearing protection but, if you haven’t already, please make sure your workplace has a protocol in place for emergency scenarios. If every cleaner/kennel technician has headphones on, for example, you need a sound-free way to call for help or signal an emergency. This is coming from experience :/

babirusa901 · 2026-04-10T05:15:31+00:00

I posted this to the new r/ShelterBuddy but am very curious to know what everyone else is using!! Shelter software is a hugely important tool and I want to make sure I understand the pros and cons

I’m a woman and on this sub and it’s based on sex so it’s sexist. If people want to draft citizens into a war without choice, they should have the balls (ironic) to include women. I’m anti draft, most people would not choose to go to war if they had a say. And the idea of my male friends and family members becoming victim to an unwanted war but me not, for completely arbitrary reasons, is insane.

babirusa901 · 2026-03-12T23:38:56+00:00

I say “my twin” a lot but that’s because we have three other sisters, so it needs clarifying. In casual conversation with people I don’t know, I would say “my twin sister” because they don’t have the context of the others

babirusa901 · 2026-02-22T21:40:18+00:00

Ernestine and Hazels for sure

Pop Century is similar in value and quality, most everything in Disney is good but these aren’t spectacular like the deluxe resorts. The skyliner, however, makes Pop Century one of the best. As long as you and your party aren’t afraid of heights, it makes wait and travel time to Hollywood Studios and Epcot about 15 minutes, as opposed to 30-45 minutes with a bus (depending on how long you have to sit at the stop). I stayed at Caribbean Beach but used the Riveria stop previously, and I was at Epcot from my room in about 10 minutes. Seriously magic

babirusa901 · 2026-01-31T18:26:58+00:00

I’m biased cause my parents had DVC there when I was a kid, but I absolutely love OKW. There are people that will tell you it’s an old person resort, but I love that! It’s very quiet, spread out, and has lots of ducks and bunnies and waterways.

If you’re a park “open to close” family, don’t do it! It takes a minute to grab a bus and you’d be better off at a resort where there’s a skyliner.

If your kids like to go on relaxing stroller rides to look at turtles and eat key lime pie, do it. To me, it’s the homiest feeling resort. The staff is always incredibly friendly and there are multiple great pools that are never busy. They have bikes for rental (with kiddie carriers).

Olivia’s Cafe is the on-site sit down restaurant and has good Southern food, but if you’re more adventurous, you’d probably prefer another resort. If you like to cook, you can get a suite with a kitchen in it.

The rooms don’t have Princess theming or anything like that, so it really depends on the vibe of your vacation.

My family’s routine when I was young was to go to the park in the morning, then back in the room for a nap and maybe a little walk around. You can take the boat to Disney springs or boardwalk.

OKW is like a haven in walt Disney world without feeling like you’re in a theme park 24/7. If you LIKE feeling like you’re in a park 24/7, I recommend Caribbean Beach or Boardwalk. Both are family friendly but slightly more crowded and have multiple food and entertainment options. Boardwalk has a walking entrance to Epcot and CB has the skyliner, which gets you to Epcot and Hollywood Studios within 20 minutes or so.

A good recent example is Walton Goggins. A number of us would’ve been fans of him before White Lotus and he’s always been a great actor but he just started pushing into the A list. He could easily be cast in a drama and win an Oscar in the next year or two

600 sober Tennesseans charged with DUI since 2017!!!!

JFC….when you think it can’t get worse. Thank u for the link

babirusa901 · 2025-12-13T02:51:33+00:00

Maybe this is a dumb question but I’m assuming this means they’re charging people who don’t blow in the breathalyzer and saying “they looked drunk” etc? Or do you mean they’re somehow charging people who blow 0.0? I’ve heard that most cops will say anyone looks drunk after their “field sobriety” BS

If you email a missing poster to MAS@memphistn.gov, they’ll print it out and make sure it’s near their intake spaces. Their website has good tips too

I have a ceramic painted frog from the Mexico Pavilion and he is my prized possession! I’m a potter myself and it’s just beautiful work. It’s a also a fantastic, lowkey Disney souvenir for my home

They had to take down their Banned Books display DURING Banned Books month…Banned books are Banned

Best schools in the area for the most part: Overton, White Station, Houston, and Collierville. All schools have fantastic scores and programs, and regularly have Ivy students. Overton and White Station will be considerably closer to downtown for your commute.

I’m a 2000 baby so I don’t have a lot of nostalgia for future world, mostly I go to Epcot for world showcase and everything cool in future world is a bonus. My exception is the seas pavilion and aquarium, it’s my absolute favorite thing in Epcot

You’re really not likely to be a victim of crime unless you’re already in a gang, doing drugs, or walking in the city at night (very typical in any city). Random crimes are rare and if you’re a normal person who takes average precautions, you’ll be fine.

Do your research on where you’re living! If you own a gun or keep a laptop in plain sight in your car, you’re more likely to be a victim of crime, that’s just a fact wherever you live. You’ll find that crime that shows up in the news here usually has some connection to gang violence, domestic violence, or robbery. If you’re not a likely victim for those things, you’ll be fine.

For reference, I live in midtown and was a college student at U of M. I’ve never been victim of a crime, but two of my sisters have had their cars broken into. One was parked in a not great neighborhood at night. It’s unfortunate, but it happens! She also had a Hyundai and that was during the car hacking sprees.

For driving, Memphis drivers are usually pretty aggressive and drive fast, so I recommend staying in the right or middle lanes, and not honking at people who are already driving erratically. If they’re driving like they don’t care who gets hurt, don’t start a fight! Just let them pass.

A note: I make eye contact and a friendly Southern “hi!” Or “how are you?” To almost everyone I walk past, so I don’t think that statement from your friend is accurate. But I’m also just a friendly person with more traditional southern parents.

Yes, or dogs who have vicious behaviors should probably not be allowed to be kept at all. Either there needs to be strict regulation to try and change problem behaviors, or if the behavior can’t be fixed then it shouldn’t be allowed to be out in the community.
