My neighbor had an accident & was in the hospital & we looked after him when he got home until his daughter could fly in the next day. I would do that for any neighbor, but I have to say, being that his daughter is a chef at Le Bernardin, getting a homemade thank you treat is extra special! 🤤

Today's furcast comes 8-9 year old lab mix Gus! Gus is the best combination of fun guy outside and lazy couch potato inside. He gets along with all sizes of dogs, and he’s great with kids and cats. He’s chill and just wants to be near his person. Gus' adoption info -> #COwx

What kind of sorcery is she doing getting the duvet in that easily? I can’t do it that well even without dog!

No applicants yet for Banjo! Pup & kitty friendly! Low/medium energy 8yo sweetheart! Only 25 lbs. Super sweet boy who just needs a comfy bed & a yard or walks to explore! Nationwide transport! Sponsored adoption! RescueCoop.Org

I feel like it’s been forever since someone I voted for won 💙

Holy cow my district’s special state senate election is a horse race! Dem up by under 700 votes with 148/152 precincts reported. (I still expect last minute disappointment bc FL)

Canine Companions puppycam is live for Nat’l Puppy Day ❤️ The B-team this year: Berkley, Barley, Bliss, Blossom, Boone, Bogie & Brynn 🐾 www.youtube.com/live/a9rXR0i...

Mateo had his Cytopoint allergy shot & snoozed at home while I did some geocaches biking on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail on a gorgeous day.

It’s been beautifully cool & clear here this week, but Mother Nature sure is upping the bike ride difficulty. The last 3 or 4 rides 💨🥵

Rush, Tom Sawyer. And now goddamnit it is stuck in my head.

I’m bowled over by the response to this. Thanks all, and thank you new subscribers. Please read the story, bc these activists trusted me with it when they could’ve gone somewhere bigger, and I want to ensure their work and what they’re exposing stays the focus. gillianbrockell.com/video-proves...

Slo-mo Mateo playing at the neighbor’s this afternoon 💚

“Hardly anyone dies from that illness, so why is preventing it so important?” Any death is worth preventing if possible, and it’s not only about whether you live or die, it’s also about helping you and the people around you prevent severe health outcomes and live the healthiest life possible!

What in the ever loving fuck?!

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

So much love for #Shrinking. Getting to see Ford & Bergen be icons together ❤️ Plus so many laughs I really needed this week (along with some good tears).

Mateo came from the Cocker rescue & I always suspected by his appearance he was part English Cocker, but I didn’t care enough to spend $ for a test. Got one as a 🎁 and no surprise! ❤️

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

Happy outcome, whew. That said, running around excitedly after a 100ft+ fall sounds on brand for a Cocker Spaniel 😂

Because I had a super terrible day of mom caretaking (& discovered another medical thing that’s going to take even more of my time 😫)- a good thing…. The $34 clearance Pumas I ordered from Nordstrom Rack came & they fit! They’re a groovy champagne/silver metallic leather 😊

@thegoldenratio4.bsky.social Listening to the latest pod in the car, and as I do with any of the sciencey discussions, start yelling aloud to you like a crazy person… “hyaluronic acid is hygroscopic!!!” 🤣 (It attracts way more than its weight in water)

HEY‼️ Come work with my team this summer! We're hiring 2 crew leads and at least 4 crew members to work on ecological research projects across OR, WA, and CA. Postings below 👇

Sweetest little beagle boy looking for forever home! Milo is 4-5 yo, only 22 lbs & a gentle, friendly boy. Found stray, he’s now up to date on vet care & ready for his happy ever after! Nationwide transport possible! RescueCoop.Org

Went for a paddle on the Hillsborough River today since it was really hot. Was looking for a geocache in this cypress, but a mama bird found it to be a great nest spot. Right next to her, 2 osprey were bringing in more moss to zhuzh up their nest!

“Helpful” dude at my mom’s rheum appt felt the need to be funny (I’m assuming) about our masks (only ones) & pointed at the drinking fountains “I call them COVID delivery devices.” I looked him straight in the eye & said “the air everybody’s breathing does just fine.”

Happy Valentine’s Day from Mateo 💘💝💖

#medsky you need to know that HHS released a Medicaid dataset today, with your NPI in it, linked to procedure codes and volume

Hey #DogsofBlueSky -goes to a good cause for the folks in Mpls 🐾❤️

Humane Society Valentine’s adoption event at PAW brewing ❤️

Oh, that great feeling of finding standing water under kitchen sink 3 days after getting home from vacay 😟 Dried it all out & don’t feel pipe leaks. Suspect may be the junction where the dishwasher hose meets the disposal to drain-ran the DW morning I left. Could’ve been freeze related too.

@chargetotheparks.bsky.social Just got back from skiing Big Sky & Rivian scored a great marketing gig this season. Their trucks are pulling the trailers that haul people from the free parking lots & they have a display as you walk to the lifts. Lots of positive comments overheard.

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

Outdoor layover at DEN. For those still masking for travel- so nice to take a break and have food & drink. In secure gate area at the concourse 😊

We celebrate the return of Liam & his father Adrian, while also knowing that ICE has been as active as ever staging at Powderhorn & Folwell park today. Rent is due today for so many families and we have a big need at NE middle. Donate to NE middle school families in need: givebutter.com/neschool

It had been long enough between Shrinking seasons that I forgot how you laugh yourself through the whole show right up until the gut punch ❤️

Thanks to this community, our office has raised over $40,000 for rental assistance. Read my most recent statement about this ongoing fundraiser and Minneapolis' response to ICE: https://content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd/MPLS-4068228?wgt_ref=MPLS_WIDGET_119

Oh the joy of tucking into bed on a cold night, happy to have a warm dog who loves to cuddle up, only to have him unleashing such toxic farts I’m glad there’s no open flame in here 🤢 Whomst among us, right?

#TongueOutTuesday from Saturday lunch out when Mateo was so happy the waitress brought him a whole water trough!

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I was so disappointed in the Tampa Bay Times today- the Mpls murder was not front page news- buried page 6. I emailed the managing news editor basically wtf & said I was thisclose to cancelling. I actually got a (fairly substandard) reply but was surprised she wrote back.

if you are looking for a place to give a few bucks today please think about b.resale in Minneapolis. the shooting yesterday happened in front of their store. they are staying open as a refuge. they’ve been handing out free supplies for ICE watch for weeks. cashapp $bresalempls paypal.me/bresalempls

Goodnight everyone 💞. Dream of a better world ☮️. I know that's not easy right now. #Goodnighteveryone #KindnessMatters #WeMissYouRex #Dogsofbluesky #LoveYouRex #SweetDreamsSpike

Mateo is in picnic table jail at the fish camp lunch today 😄

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.
