Sister: testify. I am asked to present at statewide & regional criminology conferences & have precisely one business attire pant suit- and never learned to do makeup. Male colleagues look like Sasquatch & no one bats an eye. Women always get a comment on appearance vs content. Infuriating

Your daily shelter cat…a beauty like this could be yours if you adopt, don’t shop 😽

The kind .. you find … in a second hand store

Okay. Our foster dog, The Professor (shelter name Bean), is up for adoption. He's cute as hell. Love having him around. He's in the office with me now. He's fun, weird, and very affectionate. He IS a puppy, mind you. So he requires work, time, patience, and care. www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

“Ford, you’re turning into a penguin. Stop it.”

I've been receiving so many messages from people here having their own "MELIA" in their home. Many looking like her too. I can't thank you enough for sharing your story. Many think she's a forgotten soul. I know there's someone out there for her ❤️ 516.785.5220 [email protected]

I'm running a fundraiser for our local animal shelter in honor of our wonderful Fergus who passed away this year. I just really needed to do something to keep his kind and loving spirit alive by helping other shelter kitties like him. Please consider a donation if you can! ❤️ givebutter.com/n5l31M
