May Day rally selfies! I took Diego and he was overwhelmed and cold because we're in northern Illinois and it's May and, therefore, cold. #Indivisible #galgo #sighthounds

I can't believe I have to type these words, but TDS will never be in the DSM. It's not a real disorder. Delusional disorder, however, is. I hate it here.

Trying the hands-free leash again. Silverio is about 11 years old, so even though he is highly prey-driven, he isn't about to bolt on me. At least I don't think so! #galgo #sighthounds

At this point, you'll have to convince me that it wasn't staged. Every time his poll numbers are in the toilet or he finds himself in an increasingly unpopular position, in this case Pakistan canceling the negotiations, he arranges a shooting. I am so fucking sick of this country.

I think one of the nearest things about having a galgo is that they come from Spain. Whenever I walk one of the galgos, people will tell me what a good looking dog he is. When I try to tell them what a galgo is and where they come from, this is what I get: 🦗🦗🦗#galgo #sighthounds

"I'm too hot." "I'm too cold." "I want to annoy Minion." "I want to annoy Mom." ONLY GUAPO IS BEING GOOD! #galgo #galgoespanol #greyhound #sighthounds

I grew up on a National Heritage Corridor site (the first to be designated in the US!) and for Earth Day, my Indivisible group did a clean up along the towpath. Here's some graffiti from the viaduct.

Sixty-two million visits to that site. SIXTY-TWO MILLION. In March, it was EIGHTY-TWO MILLION. I am beyond sickened and it's time for the patriarchy to fall. Here is a palate cleanser to help soothe the horror of a FUCKING RAPE ACADEMY!!!!!

The Artemis II mission has not stopped giving me life and hope, even though those 4 beautiful poets have been home for 2 days now. And today, a reign of autocracy ended in Hungary. The world is starting to feel beautiful again. Slowly, slowly. But the horror we're living is draining away.

I'm a prog/experimental/psychedelic rock FANATIC--old, new, don't care. My latest obsession is Angine de Poitrine and I'm branching out from there. (Horse Lords have a new album June 11!) Weirdly, I do not like KG and the LW. More info in the alt text. It takes HOURS to explore even a little of it!

No, you can't have supper right now. Calm down! #galgo #galgos #sighthounds

Today is Tamarind's 14th birthday. I think that's a pretty big deal and I hope everyone wishes him a Happy Birthday, Bestest Boy! #greyhound

I was just outside in my backyard screaming. Like, full-on being-chased-by-Jason-Voorhees screaming. Anyone else been screaming today? No? Just me? This is when I asked AI to draw my dearest departed Jeremy. It was sort of a hallucination, but it was sort of good. I need something good! #Apocalypse

I've spent the morning in Yakutsk (YouTube). It has shamed my blanketed-up-in-60°-F-weather self. I've also hollered at whiny galgos that, "Hey! You could be in -80° F Yakutsk right now, ya know!" But, of course they couldn't; I'm not delusional like our "president" and his CRAZY ASS EASTER POST.

I have so many questions from my previous post. How do pancakes fit in pockets? Why pancakes? They seem inconvenient. And a tortoise, to rally a team? Aren't they, uh, slow? Why did the team get the turtle after the manager got told no pancakes? What do those 2 things have to do with each other?

I do not understand these words in this order: Brewers inherit ‘rally tortoise’ after manager Pat Murphy is told no pocket pancakes in TV interview I also do not care to read the article for which this is an unfortunate headline, so if any sportsball enthusiasts care to explain, please do.

I don't gamble, except for the occasional scratch off or mega billions Powerball, but my money is on the orange shitbag bitching about the Supreme Court more than talking about the war. When, or if, he does talk about the war, it will be gibberish and self-contradictory. He's an IDIOT.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, ET FUCKING CETERA!!!!!!!!!!!! www.reuters.com/world/us-sup...

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Some of my favorite signs from today.

Videos, pics to follow. I hadn't been to Indivisible for a bit because of my pain, but I went today, because of course I was going, no matter what. Many hugs with many people I haven't seen in a while, and someone I worked with 30 years ago, which was the highlight and surprise of my day! #NoKings

Wherever you are, whatever time your rally starts, be there! YOUR VOICE MATTERS!! #NoKings

I went on a 2 mile walk and you'll never believe what I saw! I saw all of the republican Congress members and "President" Dipshit and his viper, I mean wife, Melanoma! There was no security detail for any of them; it seems that not even the Secret Service can stand them.

Today is my birthday and I'm going for a walk later because the weather is shockingly good for northern Illinois. I also saved up the entire second season of The Pitt just to binge for today. I have lunch and dinner dates with friends tomorrow and Friday, so a lot to look forward to! Thread ⬇️

Galgos snuggle together way more than my greyhounds ever did. It's weird how breeds can be so close genetically and have such different behaviors. Mind you, the galgos snarl and snip-snap when another dog is in their space, but they do love to lie on top of each other. #galgo #sighthounds

Tamarind will be 14 in 2 1/2 weeks. He's slowly declining and it's heartbreaking. He's not ready to go; he still runs around the dog yard and eats very well, but his back end is starting to sink a bit and he's almost blind. I've had him since he was 18 months old! He's so precious to me! #greyhound

I need to vent, so this thread is mostly for me, but if you're using one of the platforms I'm going to bitch about, you might be interested. I have been looking into the online mental health companies that are advertised mostly on Insta and Facebook. So far, I've talked to 4 companies.

Mary fucking Miller, the worst fascist in my state. www.huffpost.com/entry/republ...

IT'S OFFICIAL!! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hooray hooray hooray! Wales has banned greyhound racing and Scotland is set to do so next! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Congratulations to our next senator, Julianna Stratton! I don't know, nor do I care, which white, male, MAGA republican running against her in November. Illinois made it crystal fucking clear today that we are done with MAGA and centrist "liberals." Progressives ruled the day! #Illinoisprimary

More good news--Conyers-Ervin was HEAVILY backed by pro-Israel money; Ford was not. Ford is more progressive. Also, Darren Bailey won the R nom for gov. Not that any R could stand a chance against JB, but Bailey is a full-on MAGAt. Illinois is on fire with all these progressives! #Illinoisprimary

Julianna Stratton is ahead of Raja Krishnamoorthi and I could not be happier about that. Raj took AIPAC money, is a Zionist, took Palantir money, and most unforgivable of all, is a centrist. Julianna, on the other hand, is progressive and is our current Lt. Governor. #Illinoisprimary

I know the sidewalks are shitty and it's cold and the roads suck and the snow is piled up in horrid, icy piles. But if I can get out to the middle of the country in the middle of nowhere to my polling place, you can, too. If you're in Illinois, VOTE IN TODAY'S PRIMARY! #Illinoisprimary

All right, Illinois -- it's Election Day! GO VOTE! #Illinoisprimary

Omg, I haaaaaaated OBAA! I wanted Train Dreams or Sinners to win. So disappointed. #Oscars

Beautiful speech by Jessie Buckley! #Oscars

Michael B. Jordan absolutely deserves this win. I know it was a long shot, but I'd have been okay if Wagner Moura won. #Oscars

Am I the only human alive who hated One Battle After Another?? #Oscars

Wow. No. Golden is AWFUL and two other songs were 1000% better -- Nick Cave was robbed and so was Sinners. #Oscars

The Secret Agent should've won. #Oscars

YES, Javier!! #Oscars

Feel like Train Dreams should've won for cinematography but I'm okay with a woman winning for Sinners. #Oscars

Ludwig Goransson was the only choice, IMHO. #Oscars

Wtf? Bridesmaids reunion???? Why! #Oscars

I'm done with the stupid filler jokes falling flat and being used as an excuse for advertising and branding. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 #Oscars

Okay, I'm going to bawl listening to Billy Crystal talking about Rob Reiner. #Oscars

That's Matt Berry announcing the Oscars tonight, isn't it? It sure sounds like him and if it is, what a perfect choice! #Oscars

Oh, I knew Amy Madigan would win! Her turn in Weapons was hysterical! I loved that movie; it was so funny and so different. #Oscars
