Merry Christmas from Gus!

Great essay from @sandyernestallen.bsky.social, expressing a sentiment that I'm very familiar with. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Whether or not it's difficult or painful, you are well within your rights to cut off your family permanently. Nobody in this world is owed access to you.

The Professor, our foster dog, is up for adoption but has had zero applications. And I get it, people are busy, but he’s wonderful. Not a sleep in your lap dog but the king of sleep next to you dogs. Just a nice little 4 month old gentleman. With a PhD. new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

More than two miles under the Greenland Sea, tubeworms, snails, crustaceans, and microbes live on gas hydrate seeps that leak crude oil and methane.

And as several folks are saying in the comments: curiosity about the Epstein files is understandable, but just for yourself personally, think carefully about what you want in your head forever. It will come to you later in upsetting ways that you may not expect. bsky.app/profile/sass...

My 5 kids are living in freezing cold without a warm shelter, blankets, or food. They are shivering now We urgently need a tent. They are sleeping in the open air, freezing cold.

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

It will shock you all to learn that Gus was very interested in the girls across the street throwing "Reindeer food" all over their driveway and yard before bed
