This message is for the Orange Shitbag occupying the Oval: Hey, Moron -- we do not need or want your federalized tin soldiers here in Illinois!! Go fuck yourself!

Do you see Guapo's sad little face in the background? It's because Silverio is sitting on him, but he is under the blanket and Silverio doesn't care if he's sitting on Guapo, even though Guapo cares. They've been kind of crappy lately, all of 'em! Love them anyway. #galgo #galgoespanol #sighthounds

My therapist told me I may need to stop focusing on politics for a bit because it's making me feel helpless, crazy, anxious, exhausted, and enraged. AMONGST OTHER EMOTIONS. So. The Hounds of Love is Kate Bush's best album. Fight me. Also, 21 days until my next foster (whom I've reserved for meee!)

Got my Covid vax yesterday morning. Hel Mart doesn't have it. ??? I went to CVS, where they have the updated. Pfizer; I've only ever had the Moderna. I somehow got it in my head that the Pfizer wouldn't make me as sick as the Moderna. Wrong. I'm pretty sick. I'll be okay by tonight, though.

Well, darn -- I was invited to this party called The Rapture, wherein everyone was supposed to disappear or some shit, and I declined the invitation, so I'm still here.

This is pissing me off beyond words. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Two pics of Silverio. I brought Cano to the walk, too, but he squirmed too much for a pic. The second pic is of Silverio with a galgo named Frani. I left my red comforter at the park so Frani's mom and dad took it and are keeping it for me. Frani and Silverio look almost exactly alike!

My second video of the 2nd annual Sighthound Walk in Lombard, Illinois today. #galgo #sighthounds

We are walking the dogs at the 2nd annual Sighthound Walk in Lombard, Illinois. I can't upload more than one video at a time so I'll have another post here in a sec.

Tomorrow is our 2nd Annual Sighthound Walk. It's our galgo adoption reunion of sorts, but all sighthounds are welcome. I'll take a bunch of pics. I know I'm biased (you probably couldn't tell, because I always keep my opinion to myself), but sighthounds are THE best dogs!

ICE is in my town/local vicinity today, probably for the next few days. I couldn't leave my office to film them, even though they were literally two blocks from my office. I did drop a pin in Coqui. If you don't have the Coqui app, download it now. You can choose English or Spanish.

"I didn't like Jimmy Kimmel anyway" -- Brendan Carr, probably. FUCKING COWARDS AT ABC

Minion ate a rather large spider uck ish gross 🤢 and now he's very proud of himself. #galgo #sighthounds

I'm so happy Adolescence is getting all the glory! What a deeply moving and meaningful show it was. I'm sure it will win for best limited series. Hoping The Pitt wins best drama and Noah Wyle wins best actor in a drama series.

Oh wow! Erin Dougherty won for playing a psychologist in Adolescence! That episode was absolutely amazing, utterly profound. It was one of the best portrayals I've ever seen of how psychologists really operate. Like, in real life.

Skylight: All videos are ok! Upload whatever you want! Also Skylight: Your video is too big! It can't be uploaded! Anyway, I'll upload it here, as opposed to the app, and then it will just appear on the app. 🙄 I'm trying to migrate from TikTok, which is a cesspool of MAGA morons. And yes, I'm tired.

I am very happy I live in Illinois. JB Pritzker is going to work around the MAHA moron's batshit vaccine mandates. In Illinois, you will be able to get any vaccine regardless of your age pre-existing condition status. I cannot tell you how much I love my gov!

I am not sad Gummy Jirk is dead. Not in the least. The world is a better place without him and his kids are better off not having a hateful father. He needed therapy and never got it. He was so defended against his own pain that not even the best therapist in the universe could have cut through.

Guess which shooting today will get more coverage: 1) The three high schoolers shot in Colorado 2) Charlie Jirk Anyone? Guess which of the following will happen: 1) Sane gun laws are passed 2) Thoughts and prayers Anyone?

Soooo. Maybe we will pass sane gun laws in this country now with the death of Charlie Kirk. No? Okay, then.

Holy shit -- Charlie Kirk got shot!

ICE has begun, or is about to begin, its raid on Chicago. The mayor of Evanston, a sanctuary city right over the Chicago city line, was on NPR this afternoon announcing that the City of Evanston Police will NOT be cooperating with ICE. STAY STRONG, CHICAGO!!!!

Protest pics! Hope everyone had a great day. Now, it's time to mourn the end of summer.

Protest pups!

The end of today's Workers' Rights rally. Happy Labor Day!

My sign for tomorrow's rally. Wish I were a) more spatially aware and b) more artistic.

Every Labor Day weekend, I watch classic movies. Last night, it was Auntie Mame. Right now, I'm watching The Night of the Hunter. These are two of my all-time faves. Tomorrow night, Some Like It Hot, and after the music festival on Monday, Norma Rae. I'll post music festival pics and videos Monday.

Lol (true, tho).

Where's Silverio? #galgo

We painted rocks at #Indivisible today. I don't need another project, but this makes me want to buy some acrylic paints to paint a bunch more rocks to leave in requisite places, if you know what I mean.

It's Sunday Night Story time before I watch a couple of saved up episodes of Foundation, which is way better than the books. Isaac Asimov, for all his polymathery, was not a great--or even good--writer. Anyway, I would like to tell a story of a few galgo adventures (or misadventures, if you will).

Unbeknownst to me, Minion ate a whole roll of gauze a few days ago. He wasn't holding down his meals so I knew he'd ingested something and I panicked. This is the dog who had to have a sock surgically removed from his duodenum. Fortunately FORTUNATELY he barfed it all up and I'm okay now. #galgo

Beautiful day, in spite of the AQI being 150 from the Canadian wildfires. This is the last walk around the park before winding down our rally. I got flipped off, told I'm crazy, yelled at for the protest being illegal. All on par from the MAGA morons. Next protest is Labor Day! #Indivisible #NoKings

We gathered for the rally. Everyone is on vacation so the turnout, though good, is lower than usual. #50501Movement #Indivisible

Got my annual election card today. Our county clerk is a QAnon Qook and also stupid. For the first time, ever, since I was old enough to vote, my voter certificate has my full birth name on it. That is ominous and I really hate this timeline.

I'm doing an early Sunday Night Story this evening. Next Saturday is a big rally/protest that, I believe, is nationwide. I'm in charge of getting our #Indivisible table set up in the park beforehand so I had to get a short-sleeved Indivisible tee. I've just been wearing progressive graphic tees.

This is behind a pay wall, but is anyone shocked? I feel like the Murdochs want the orange POS gone. That's still not a good thing, because then we're stuck with Vance. www.wsj.com/politics/jus...

Here are the three at prints I won in the Auction for the Galgos! @greyhoundfanatic.bsky.social -- more art to add to the millions of prints, paintings, photos, canvases, statues, furniture, etc., etc., etc. We will eventually need to post all of our stuff! #galgo #galgos #greyhound #sighthounds

I've been somewhat of a social (media) butterfly today -- bid on several items on the Love Hope Believe #Galgo Adoption Auction for the Galgos on Fascistbook to drive up the price of the items (won two items, too) and made a longish TikTok, so I guess now it's time for Bluesky's Sunday Night Story.

More office art. The canvas of Fernando and my friend Travis is from a photo he took to express his depression. Most people think it's about losing your pet. I guess it can be about both! Another mosaic I commissioned and an Art Deco print. #galgo #greyhound

Some of the #greyhound and #galgo art in my office. There is much, much more.

Rally selfie! We had a fair turnout today. The person who drums up the numbers got her business AND personal Fascistbook accounts banned for "terrorism" (i.e., being liberal). So, it's had to be word of mouth and sharing posts on social media. #NoKings #Indivisible #50501Movement #FDT

Wish we had some younger representation and also BIPOC. But, it's a small town and we're pretty white. #NoKings #FDT #Indivisible #50501Movement

This is what I'm doing tomorrow. #NoKings #50501Movement

JFC. I hate it here. www.cnn.com/2025/07/09/p...

#Greyhound #Galgo people: Over on the Fascistbook, my rescue group, Love, Hope, Believe Galgo Adoption, is having an auction. There are plenty of greyhound and galgo things: Jewelry, art, fabrics, bags, collars, etc. Help us out and go bid if you have FB. www.facebook.com/media/set?se...

This is what I did this morning. Now, I am going to sit by a pool with a new friend. I would say, "Happy Independence Day," but it's not happy. We need independence all over again from the tyrant who would be king. #NoKings

This cute little thang visited me in my office today! I think she's got some Iggy in her.
