slashfest Round VI closed and only 18 banned so far. Every round, that number seems to go down. Now comes the fun part of figuring out who is a member or not and what prompts to purge.

hd_worldcup had its submission deadline and dude. The quality of the fic and artwork. I'm just beyond impressed with the submissions. Best part of this deadline? Only like 7 people didn't make it. One of them, I'm rather worried about as its just not "in character". So, I'm hopeful that it's just gmail eating the email.

I'm working like a crazy mofo right now. 91 hours clocked last week between the two jobs. This week? IDEK. I have 34 hours at Fry's and 40 at the main job scheduled but with the hoarding case, IDEK about the main job. I have to be there around 7am tomorrow. Thank the fucking maker for the co-mods at

hd_worldcup because without them? I'd be insane. They deserve so many kudos.

I have thoughts and updates and reflections on this hoarding case but I can't seem to find the words. It's been such a tumultuous and emotionally draining time that the words just won't come. There are these high moments and these low moments that I keep going through and it's hard to convey what's happening. I'm overwhelmed (in a bad way) and overwhelmed (in a good way). I'm so thankful to those of you that have donated or have promised to. HSSA has collected about 150k in donations so far but it's going to cost about 500k to take care of this situation.

The birds are in dire straits and not getting near the press time that the puppies have. Part of that is that puppies are way cuter so give better press but part of that is also because the birds are in seclusion. To put it mildly, the birds are in AWFUL shape. The air was so polluted with ammonia that it was killing the birds. Add in the neglect (lack of water and food) and the filth of their own waste and these poor things were NOT in a good situation.

HSSA adopted out all the adoptable dogs from the hoarding case but it still has loads of dogs from the pitbull seizure still available. HSSA was at almost full capacity BEFORE this hoarding case so it's still overwhelming on current abilities to deal with all of this. The triage shelter is still open with the mothers and their puppies and then all the sick dogs that can't be adopted just yet.

So I did have a partial update on the animals, just not on how the various animal frontline staff are doing.

I've been trying to keep up with the flist but I'm failing miserably. I missed all of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. LJ won't let me scroll back that far :/. I'm so sorry if something happened and I didn't comment. Feel free to link me and/or beat me with a wet noodle. How are all of you?
