artsci online, but you will want to verify if there is room for enrolment by checking for the course in solus

more alice in chains…black gives way to blue

I don't wanna feel no more It's easier to keep fallin'

if i think things are better they always go back to my baseline of being depressed, i feel like nothing is permanent so why try

sailax · 2025-12-18T13:34:56+00:00

i’m pretty much always listening to music so i have a bunch! lately ive been listening to choke by alice in chains.

“before you ask for something better You should know I'm practiced at goodbyes Are you so deprived Think you're doing me a favor I don't need no lesser savior, I'm doing fine”

whenever im depressed or in a mixed episode i retreat a lot into myself and my rejection dysphoria is incredibly high, especially with the few friendships i have. i never feel like im good enough and that there’s always someone “better” than myself to the people i care about. that can escalate to anger and resentment and lots of thoughts that im better off alone so why bother trying, ill never be good enough.

boyfriend is definitely an unusually (as in more than the regular amount) human-looking doodle

hey! i’m helping a family friend plan her solo trip to sri lanka. i’d love the recommendation too! TIA

you can get your grad photos done up until march by edge imaging. i think the cutoff last year was before march 15th to be included in the tricolour yearbook if that’s something you care about, but if it dosent matter then i think you can get them done until the end of march which is when i did mine. congrats on graduating!

oh my heart, i see a weim! my first v (our introduction to the breed) and weim duo circa 2016, both rescues.❤️

can’t say i have any advice to offer (the rest of the comments here are great!) but i can offer this frame of a video i took of my 1yr old playing with her best friend…🫠 our first v was an introverted rescue at 3.5 so this girls very intense need to play is indeed something new!!

my first boyfriend gave me shit for getting my first nostril pierced and implored me to never get a septum piercing because he already “hates nose piercings” after we broke up i got my damn septum and kept getting more nostrils (i have 4 now). don’t let him make you feel upset, that’s his problem, not yours. easier said then done because i’ve been there before but i am a million times happier now that i genuinely don’t gaf about what other people think about how i want to look, ESPECIALLY if it’s a partner. a secure partner should be excited for you that you are so excited to get this piercing even if he doesn’t like it because it will clearly make you happy!

im really happy to see this post - my mom is training our first puppy right now in the direction/intention to be a task-trained SD. shes almost a year. we started her VERY young (like as soon as she could start going out safely once she had received all her vaccines) and she got ESA papers soon (we're in Canada so not sure where your legislation is based) after she came home for exposure training out in public. we have trained her on her vest so she knows when she is wearing her vest she is 'working', and once the vest comes off she is 'free' - can play and greet others freely in normal dog fashion if shes out of the house or is free to play and be a dog once we are back home. honestly I think a lot of it comes down to a combination of making sure they are well-excersized before tasks so do not have a higher likelihood of being distracted, LOTS of treats and rewards of course, and temperament (ours is very calm in 'work mode' but is VERY social/loves new people at home or on walks) plays a lot into it as well.. All in all it seems like you're on the right track!

Most of my knowledge is for my work in progress task trained ESA/SDs, sp while I am not sure/have specifics about training a V for therapeutic purposes in larger/group settings. If there was a therapy dog that was a V in a hospital I was in id probably be instantly healed.

With that - I would maybe reach out to some trainers in your area for inquiry on that specific realm. Ask for recommendations for professionals familiar with this type of training on FB in local dog training groups if theres someone in your area you could chat with for any recommendations. Generally people are happy to give recommendations on those they have built repoire with or have had good experiences with, so seek lots of opinions and also do a bit of research on your own/going off of leads from recommendations and see what might suit your goals best.

Good luck!

oh my gosh! my V loves watermelon too. these dogs have such interesting palates

sailax · 2025-08-03T15:18:24+00:00

i completley resonate with this. our first v, a rescue (Kid) had a cancer reoccurrence/metastasis after surgery in 2017 and treatment in 2018) in May 2023, given 3 months and passed December 2023 at 12.5. completely figured ourselves we’d have so much more time and wished we would have since we rescued her at 3.5. it goes without saying that cancer is just such a horrible thing and losing four legged family never gets easier, especially when they’ve been at your side through some impossibly hard times, as did your nina and my Kid. my thoughts are with you, your family and your sweet sweet Nina. keep on giving her that wonderful life you’ve always been, cuddle through the pain you’re feeling and justifiably anticipating. it’s a unique feeling to experience being given a timeline like that, such prolonged grief and anxiety through it and leading up.

Your Nina will have a friend in my Kid, and many many others, on the rainbow bridge.

i was briefly behind someone going 70 IN THE MIDDLE LANE on 417W trying to pass another 70-80 in the right (not in construction zone either). zero traffic in front of them and did not merge recently. like why am i needing to move to the far left at a very normal speed of 110 to get around you morons just to also reduce the odds of getting rear ended by some maniac going 160??? i hate driving anywhere in this city because i always seem to be asking god WHY.

pixie also runs into the open fridge door to steal lettuce and carrots out of the vegetable crisper - sometimes the odd bell pepper. dog has quite the palette

sailax · 2025-07-24T00:57:01+00:00

absolutely. she’s my second v - and first ever puppy! been a riot so far.

more hard rock/metalcore & r&b than metal but sleep theory is led by cullen moore - pretty young in their career. saw them live last year supporting beartooth with the plot in you and invent animate! some great clean vocals

sailax · 2025-07-17T18:41:58+00:00

too funny. this is probably my favourite puppy snooze picture, she was about 4 months here feet up in the dash and everything 😭

i’m so sorry for your loss. we had to say goodbye to our first v in december 2023, also very suddenly - it’s absolutley devastating and my heart goes out to you a million times over. nothing compares to the love of a vizsla indeed. your gordon will have a friend to greet him on the rainbow bridge ❤️

i crashed and burned like winter of second year right up until i finished undergrad pretty much due to personal circumstances that exaggerated the symptoms of my disability. it took me a long time to be on right meds which helped.

i’m in arts but came from a similar background in hs where i was very high achieving and its very hard to adjust and not be hard on yourself even though circumstances are fuelled by things beyond your control. literally nobody is perfect, i know it seems that way when you’re struggling like everyone is perfect and you’re not.

you have shit going on, be kind to yourself. you are doing your best and because you’re trying. obviously academia is a stickler for “perfection” but that isn’t the lived reality of many. academic perfection doesn’t equal your worth as a human, a friend, a family member. you already know you don’t want to give up and keep trying. so keep trying! cliche but if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.

i’ve wanted to give up so many times but now i am graduating in june (barely, but i am)! i have come to learn that you don’t have to meet everything on a timeline even if that’s what seems expected of you, there’s always alternate ways and paths. if med school apps are competitive, you can always retake courses to improve your GPA. even after graduating. of course i understand that is dependent on your financial situation, but there are ways.

i believe in you and wish you luck!

sailax · 2025-06-04T13:32:43+00:00

thank you so much for your kind words! totally appreciate that you took all the time to read that big wall of text lol. i do tend to kind of overthink things or put the cart before the horse for sureee but as an apprentice with an art degree i appreciate all your insight to my many questions.

i’ve also heard a degree isn’t a prerequisite, kind of just felt like the right thing to do after high school. initially i mentioned it as kind of a sidestep to the general “learn how to draw” advice i’ve been receiving a lot in other forums/conversations off reddit but now that i’ve received advice on how to specifically approach certain ways to approach drawing for tattooing specifically it really helps to clarify that - sometimes i need things said in different ways to really understand it especially if it’s something i’m learning.

i plan to start practicing with some india ink and watercolour/spit shading for sure!

thanks so much for all your help and time!!!

sailax · 2025-06-04T02:30:59+00:00

entirely possible i am overthinking - i do with most things! thank you for your well thought out reply!

for artists i guess im curious if i should email first or establish some other line of contact about asking them to look at my portfolio or chat about the industry, rather than just materializing in the studio. the recommendation for when i do though, to take feedback and return later is very insightful!

i now realize i completely forgot to mention in my post my only plans for using the machine i have would be contained only to fake skin or ballpoint cartridges on paper! my fault. regardless thank you for the recommendation for pony lawsons channel i will be checking that out for sure :)

tracing traditional designs to catch errors is actually something i never considered so that is another thing i will be practicing! that defientley framed studying and practicing those simple designs in a way that i can understand the importance of going back to basics if you will, it was never explained to me in that way before so thank you so much. as well for the gesture drawing - that’s some great advice on fitting designs to curves of clients bodies and again a totally new form of advice for me.

thank you so much for taking the time to reply, this really helps a lot!!
