I have helpers with my broken ribs recovery. #galgo #sighthounds

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎊🎉🎈I'm hoping for a woke, liberal lunatic 2026!

Wtf!!!!! My sister just broke her femur! I'm not superstitious or prone to magical thinking *at all* but really? Is the Universe mad at us????

Diego Dog is glued to me. He doesn't know that it's somewhat painful for me to have him prioritizing space on the bed for himself over my comfort. Pain meds are nauseating me, breathing hurts, and I don't feel like doing anything. I'll be glad to see 2025 in my rearview.

Home from the hospital! That was certainly an adventure. Thank god I posted in our Indivisible Signal chat, because a friend texted me right away asking if she could look after my dogs. That was my biggest worry. Not my physical trauma, the dogs! So glad to be home and my friend did such a good job!

Well, *%&$, I am headed to a Level I trauma center and there aren't enough swears in the English language to adequately convey how mad I am, so if anyone has curse words in other languages, feel free to tell me. Broke 2 ribs and now have a pneumothorax/hemothorax. -10000/10 Do not recommend.

Day after Christmas vibes.

I took Diego dog to see the lights tonight. He looked out the back window of my van the whole way! It wore him out, though. He is sound asleep on my lap. Merry Christmas, everyone! #MerryChristmas #galgo #galgos #sighthounds

The galgos and the greyhound and I wish you a very joyful and peaceful holiday! Diego and I are going to go see the garish display of Christmas lights in the local park this evening. I may or may not have photos later. #MerryChristmas

Diego is stuck. He's half on one couch and half on my couch, which Cano is also on. He can't figure out what to do. #galgo #sighthounds

I feel like I'm drowning in all of the crazy, yet normalized, behavior out of DC. I'm especially worried for my job, as many people will be dropping their healthcare altogether and will not be able to afford therapy. I'm not kidding when I say I want to sue this fucking administration. Here's a dog.

The dogs were HORRIBLE today. Minion chewed a hole in a dog bed and dug out wads of filling; Cano and Silverio got into it with each other and someone was bleeding, although I can't find a wound; Silverio peed in the hall; Diego hurt his leg or got hurt in a tussle, I don't know. They're cute, tho!

Everyone in the US needs to send an email to the following: [email protected] with this in the subject line: OMB Control Number 1651-0111 Comments are open for only 60 days. This is in response to a new policy demanding any tourist show 5 years of social media history before being allowed to visit

It was vet day today! We went in for routine care, but I could only manage two at a time, so I had two appointments -- first, Tamarind and Guapo, then Silverio and Diego. Luckily, I live only 5 minutes away from the vet clinic. #greyhound #galgo #sighthounds

Time for Spotify Wrapped. Yea, Spotify is a shitty, sketchy company, but it's what I have. Anyway, I am shocked, SHOCKED, that Prog Rock was my top genre and Rush was my top band. Yes came in second! Rush topped my year. Here’s how I listened in my #SpotifyWrapped.

This is the first year I've done this. I took a little ornament tree and hung all the ornaments I've made on it and put it in my office for Xmas decor.

SNOW! We're due to get 12-15 inches by tomorrow afternoon. ❄️❄️❄️❄️🌨️🌨️🌨️ This is Diego's first exposure to snow, I believe.

Going through some of the ornaments I've made over the past few years. This is one of my favorites.

Watching the Macy's Parade. I stream everything so I haven't seen a commercial in years. Big Pharma ads are out of control! Also, this parade isn't really a parade. It's one sponsor after another. ANYhoo, drop what you're cooking in the comments!

I'm watching Train Dreams and it's heartbreaking. What's everyone making for tomorrow? I'm making cornbread dressing, curried sweet potatoes with fried sage leaves, orange-cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, deviled eggs, buttermilk biscuits with herb butter, and Black Forest cake.

Those files are never going to be released.

Just got Diego's Embark DNA results. I was very surprised. He's not 100% galgo, only 53%. The other 47%: greyhound. Furthermore, he shares enough DNA with Tamarind to be his half brother! So glad I sent another DNA sample to Washington State University to test for DPOH. Anyway, Diego is 100% loved.

It's Sunday Night Story Time. Haven't done one in a while and I need to get away from thinking about the shithole country I live in. I stocked the mini pantry this morning and I had a lot to do today, so I've tried to stay off social media. Oh, also, FUCK ICE. Anyway, here's my story.

Mark my words: NOTHING will be done about the decaying shitbag pretending to be the president when the Epstein files are released and he's all over them. Not a single thing. THERE IS NO BRIDGE TOO FAR.

Tonight in northern Illinois.

SCOTUS made a good decision this morning--for once! It has not mitigated my ire significantly, however, over what the traitors in my soon-to-be former party did yesterday.

@durbin.senate.gov WHY DID YOU CAVE?????????? I am ENRAGED!!!!!! You have done us Illinoisans a terrible injustice!!

If the goddamned Dems cave, was it all worth it???? What happened last Tuesday will not happen at the midterms if the Democrats continue in their spineless behaviors. I am, and I cannot emphasize this enough, FURIOUS.

It's raining and still the dogs pee on each other. I mean . . . In other news, there's a bug (that got eaten). #galgo #sighthounds

Lol newrepublic.com/post/202813/...

No person is worth a trillion dollars. Especially not THAT person.

That orange POS is going to have a heart attack. SCOTUS is on the verge of dealing him a huge blow, and I couldn't be happier! It's about time SCOTUS stood up to him, but even better is this country and its judiciary telling him, as my governor said a couple days ago, to fuck all the way off.

My mental health is a lot better this morning.

Can't wait until tomorrow to see all of the unhinged, psychotic, word-salad posts from "Truth" Social that he'll be up all night long banging out in ALL CAPS. And in case I wasn't clear: Tonight was a big ol' FUCK YOU to the orange shitbag and all of his henchdemons.

Prop 50 passed! Lol!!! Tonight was all about FUCK TRUMP! Now, let's get the Democrats into the 21st Century, whether they like it or not, and move in the progressive direction.

MAMDANI!!!!!!! 🥂🎈🎊🎉

Lol. Rethuglicans are getting trounced.

Ding dong the Dick is dead! For those of you who suffered through the W years, this is good news. Up next in the queue, the shitbag calling himself the president. Come on, cholesterol, DO YOUR JOB!

I filled the micro pantry this morning before going to my Indivisible social hour. It was completely empty so I figured I would come back after Indivisible to put more food in it. When I got back this afternoon, it was completely empty again. I hate it here. Also, the dogs are still on DST.

Welp, it's a new season of The Witcher, so now I'm sat for the duration. Even though it's not my boyfriend Henry Cavill, I'll take whichever Hemsworth brother is taking his place.

Does your local pet shelter have a pet food pantry? Ours does. You can donate bags and cans of dog and cat food for people who struggle to buy their pets food. If your local shelter does not have a pet food pantry, think about asking them to start one. Diego thinks it's a good idea!

THANK YOU, JB, FOR TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS! www.wbez.org/springfield/...

Class action, anyone? (I had to take this down from TikTok; the MAGA bots, trump humpers, and cult members sent me death threats in the comments.)

There is a micro pantry in the town where I live. I put together self-care packets of soap, lotion, multivitamins, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, ibuprofen, a toothbrush and toothpaste, and a Chapstick. People will be so focused on food that they may not have money for these simple necessities.

Oh, hey -- I'm going to foster again in December. I AM INSANE. Here's Diego acting goofy. He's very young. His passport says he's almost 3, but they tend to just make wild guesses at the shelter. I think he's barely 2. I won't ever know for sure but Embark does have an age test. #galgo #sighthounds

No, I'm not spoiling him at all. 🙄🐾😄 #galgo #sighthounds

There are some things that just break your heart, y'know? Like the destruction of the East Wing. But also, I went to the vet this morning to pick up Tamarind's meds and a very old man with a cane was walking to his beat up, ancient truck with his dog's ashes. 😢😢😢

Diego came to the office with me today. #galgo #sighthounds

Barking at nothing! Last night was tough: Silverio peed in the hall around 3:00 a.m.; Tamarind, my #greyhound, barfed at 5:00 a.m.; Cano, who has had diarrhea for a week, had to go out twice in the middle of the night; and this one peed in the room around 4:30 a.m. I hope tonight is better! #galgo

My vet just called to tell me that Cano is positive for the DPOH gene. He said Cano "is recessive"--not sure what he meant, but I will talk to him sometime this week. I think he meant Cano is homozygous for the gene. Nonetheless, he will need pre-surgical treatment if he ever needs surgery. #galgo
