Pantalaimon is very good at hiding.

This website is amazing

Pan's in the corner now, looking how I feel.

Honestly, Pantalaimon, I get it.

Pan has decided that silicone mats are for dogs and not dog bowls, and thus he's evicted both of his bowls from the mat and is nursing them like beers while he lies on it.

Its talons remind me of the Rockodile I printed back in 2019.

Happy Towel Day from Pantalaimon!

Relevant poem: "Deafness, An Insurgency, Begins" by Ilya Kaminsky. I first read it a few days ago and can't get it out of my head. www.poetryinternational.com/en/poets-poe...

What I don't see here from @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social: A commitment to vote "no" on the SAVE Act

If the government won't fund the American Women's History museum, I'm more than happy to chip in.

This Cory Booker speech has been riveting to watch, and it's up to 54K people watching it on YouTube. Here's the Langston Hughes poem he just passionately excerpted.

I'm rereading "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" by Oscar Wilde, and this stanza hits hard:

I've called every Schumer and Gillibrand office most weekdays for weeks now to leave comments, since they're my senators. Never once gotten anyone on the line—only ever voicemail. I hope someone listens to the voicemails.

@kenwhite.bsky.social is "Please pause these proceedings until DOGE finishes burning the federal government to ashes and sufficient predictability returns" a common argument in filings against the government? static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Pantalaimon agreed, reluctantly, to sit and wait for me to throw it instead of grabbing it from my hand.

Go to United24, you can donate direct to the Ukrainian govt. u24.gov.ua

Governor Hochul's office's answering machine: "Due to unusually heavy call volume, we are experiencing delays up to 90 minutes. Please call back at a later time to speak with a representative. Thank you for your patience. *Click*." Keep it up, everyone!

nasawatch.com/personnel-ne... I see this administration is tackling all the important issues, like *checks notes* lgbt+ rocket scientists feeling welcome in their workplace.

@jelenawoehr.bsky.social once again helping me understand the current moment, giving me hope without losing perspective of how hard this will be, listing actions I can take, and generally helping keep me sane. Genuinely, thank you.

In all this doom, a little joy: I'm proud of my dog, who's at a sitter's while I vacation and apparently being a very good boy.

@bcdreyer.social I frequently see people use "titular" to mean "from the title," as in "titular character." This feels very wrong to me: why not just say "title character" or "eponymous character"? Plus they're not a character in title only. Is my pet peeve justified?

@frankturner.bsky.social's 1933 is an excellent song, from his excellent album Be More Kind. No reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWmn...
