I’m sending festive holiday wishes to all the #uglydogs . Happy Winter ❄️ , Happy Holidays 🎁, Seasons Greetings 🕯️, Merry Christmas 🎄! May the treats be plentiful and the scritches abundant! 🐾

My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find. Do let me know if you enjoy this & I'll make more 🦌

Didn't pick up any sales yesterday so maybe #shoplocal sunday will do the trick

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

I expect to see Schumer's resignation letter on my desk in the morning.

As a NYer, ”real” “small town” America now looks like a sexual freak zoo run by genital-obsessive xenophobes who make women into living dolls and shoot each other. Mamdani’s NYC (and mine) is a safe, wholesome place where neighbors help each other, do scavenger hunts, ride bikes, and birdwatch.

Happy Halloween #UglyDogs and other friends!

Pretending it’s not 82 degrees out and forging ahead with long simmering bolognese sauce and gochujang caramel cookies because Fall, dammit. 🍂🍁🥵

We keep to the old ways here

how lovely they should have leni riefenstahl shoot it

Hello friends. It is such a lovely night here in NYC. 🌃 76 degrees, a light breeze, and not humid. We have the windows open and I can hear crickets chirping in the bushes below- one of my favorite late summer things. 🦗That sound just makes me happy, and more so here in the city. ✨😊 #SmallJoys

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

The NYC #Legionnaires outbreak has grown to 22 cases, with 1 death. Cases have been reported in Central Harlem (ZIP codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037 & 10039) & bordering communities. Sounds like cooling towers (multiple?) may be the source??? www.nyc.gov/site/doh/abo...

Power loss at W.4th St has caused major subway outages. But MTA does not post updates here. So help spread the word on service status: * B/C suspended * No A b/n Columbus Circle & Jay St * No D b/n Atlantic Av & 34 St-Herald Sq * No M b/n Delancey St & Forest Hills-71 Av * E & F severely disrupted

"I asked ChatGPT" well I asked the Oracle of Delphi and she told me, in dactylic hexameter, to beware of a man with an inconsistent number of fingers

I for one think it was cool and good that nothing was done in the last four years of Democratic control to rein in the Supreme Court, I'm glad the norm respecters won out and we're all living in a rich norm-filled paradise today.

TIL (on mastodon) that the US National Park Service has crochet patterns! www.nps.gov/articles/000...

This story should not have been published. They hint at an accusation (Mamdani said he is black to get into a fancy college) they can't back up. That this was published tells me that Mamdani's most important opponent may not be Cuomo or Adams but a paper whose NEWS section will run stuff like this.

A very simple thing you can do is stop linking to the NYT. I know they do some good reporting but they are also actively upholding facism and working to subvert democracy and shaping your world view. It is more work but it is better if we start starving harmful institutions.

this is going around again, and having just read the CECOT reports from the KAG case and I’m compelled to say again: this administration is run by genocidal white supremacists and I am done donating or volunteering for democrats who don’t understand that

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

There are some useful ideas in here for obstructing or at least delaying passage of reconciliation bill in the House. Every day of delay drags the GOP's poll numbers down further, because people hate this bill when they learn about it.

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life

Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming. The bus should have two senators

By a 50-50 vote +1 by Vance—MAGAs voted for •$5T deficit increase •Cut Medicaid for 16M •Gut SNAP & food access •Ban AI regulation for 10 years •Cut taxes for wealthy & raise taxes for working people •$8B for ICE, $50B for a wall, $59B for concentration camps, $150B for war MAGA Is Fascism. Period.

Murkowski votes YES - and once again sells out the country by voting for a monstrous bill that guts healthcare for millions and turns America into a police state.

New York Democrats keep acting like they're Zohran Mamdani's boss. It's hilarious. Mamdani just secured more votes in a municipal Democratic primary than Goldman has received in all of his Congressional general elections *combined.* Take a seat, sir.

Kirsten Gillibrand just had a party member murdered along with her husband and dog but the Indian guy becoming mayor is what really scares her

At last, my final page for June’s #InvertArtChallenge As mentioned in an earlier post, this was a practice drawing that I ended up loving so I turned the awkward location of the sketch into a journal page along with the poem I wrote.

This is Sirius. He wanted to show off all of his best unconventional tricks. 14/10 what an absolute pro

my entire timeline is just a string of people saying they love New York and WE SHOULD PRIMARY ALL THE FUCKERS the energy is real and I love this for all of us 💓

Hi Friends! I’m working on my submission for this month’s new and fun #InvertArtChallenge , so here’s a little in progress thread:

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

I believe that we can have this. Let's make it happen, NYC. Let's send a message to this country that we love our fellow NYers and we demand to be represented by someone who will defend them. There are more than five candidates fitting this description. None of them is Cuomo. Rank as you will.

Anyway, have you considered how great it would be to have a mayor who actually gives a shit about this city?

New Yorkers: If you haven't settled on your five candidates to rank for mayor, here's a simple metric to use: Rank the guy who was wrongly arrested for attempting to protect an immigrant from ICE, and the four people running against him who showed up to demand his release.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

NYC is an extremely safe city. ICE and related federal agencies are actively and purposefully making it less safe. As they stir up violence in the coming days, remember which side it's coming from.

ICE needs to be fucking DISMANTLED and I simply won't vote for any Democrat in the 2028 primary who says otherwise.

Today's project: planting seeds of solidarity (printing out zines about mutual aid and anti-fascist organizing, then walking around and putting them in Little Free Libraries). 🌱📚💪

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

my gift. print it, poster it, do what you want.

#UglyDogs it’s really important to keep calling. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress pay attention to the numbers of constituents who call on specific issues. You don’t need to be eloquent. A staffer will log you’re a constituent (give your address on voicemail), the issue, & your position.❤️
