A friend is a vendor at the Bayfield Harvest Festival. I told them to stop by @honestdogbooks.bsky.social if they get a chance! :)

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

I’m a bit late posting this, but…better late than never, right? A couple additional dates for the upcoming PWHL season: • International Break: Dec 8-15 • Olympic Break: Jan 29-Feb 25 • the women’s hockey part of the Olympics will take place Feb 5-19

A central reason we're in this mess is that the final GOP budget is going to be full of ugly, deeply unpopular stuff - exploding deficits, destructive tariffs, cuts to health care/clear energy/food, supersizing ICE, tax cuts for billionaires - that Rs simply don't want to take responsibility for. 1/

May the right fire burn within me.

Judge Young: "This case ... squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.' 'No law' means 'no law.'"

Moneypenny reporting for duty to help you deal with all of life’s bullshit

Also, I felt really old when my cousin's high schooler thought my P!nk shirt was Justin Bieber. "Who's P!nk?" He said 🤦‍♀️ Yes, I am planning to spam his phone with music links.

New rule while dog sitting. If I go to my place for any reason, I am not allowed to lay down on my bed. I'm there for a minimum of 2 hours. Just enjoying my own bed. Not sleeping. Not reading. Not scrolling. Just laying there with my own pillow. 😂

In other words ‘Ma’am, warrants are for rich white people who belong to country clubs’

Dear Ireland. My folks had a great time, but you did not slap them across the face and I'm kind of sad. They needed that American brush with reality. 😭

Hey @goldgiraffes.bsky.social my aunt and uncle went to the Louisville Slugger factory. This sounds right up your alley!

Um dog friends... I'm watching a friends dog. We are acquaintances. I reminded her I was a known person on Sunday. She is resource guarding the bedroom. Where I already have my stuff. It's where I am supposed to sleep. I'm changed into my pjs, but I wanted cozy socks and a hoodie.

This feels excessively Wisconsin 🤣

If you could use a floof enjoying a sunbeam.

Apparently, current me forgot the car is getting an oil change tomorrow, because I let myself get... excessive in the bookstore. 😬

Tacos tacos tacos!!! NOM NOM NOM!!

Hey @goldgiraffes.bsky.social Im pretty sure I got lost at Audubon today. 🤣 I couldnt find the stairs to get off of the beach! I also shrieked when started by a snake. I also got yelled at by a chipmunk. 🤣

I tried to send you all a video for 10 seconds of zen or whatever, but my camera took a photo instead.

Bought tickets for China Lights tomorrow night! I've never been, but it always looks so neat!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

#uglydogs I cant find the handle for our resident vet

The mainline Protestants are all correctly pointing out to me that the rapture is specifically *evangelical* Protestant nonsense so to make amends here is an Episcopal priest explaining why the rapture is nonsense.

AI chat bots are so dumb. I just asked the Britbox chat bot if they have BBC Alba programming. Its response? "Please give me your name, email. And country of residence and someone will contact you shortly." I didn't think it was that hard of a question.

Alicia Keys released this in 2016. It hits so much harder now. youtu.be/Zed17O3vNgI?...

Kirk *was* a martyr, a value-neutral term to refer to one killed for bearing witness to their faith. He wasn’t, however, a Christian martyr, since scripture doesn’t speak to trans identity or how to treat it politically. Kirk died while bearing witness to his faith in punitive anti-trans Trumpism.

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

Me during covid "holy shit, I really was too busy to function. I dont know the last time I cooked on my stove. Never again." Me now "ooh, maybe I can make chicken for dinner. Wait. Nope. You aren't home. You have a meeting." A friend called me out on it a couple of weeks ago. I'm so tired.

I asked the black fluffer dog I am watching if he wants to go outside. He sat on my foot. I take that as a no. 🤣

Has anyone ever had a dog that just... constantly needs touch? I'm dog sitting a new to me fluff ball. He was whining almost all evening until I sat next to him on the floor and petted him. He eventually got up, turned in a circle, and laid back down, but made sure to touch my leg with his butt.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Judging by the amount of noise this fluffer makes, he's gotta have some husky in his bloodline.

Happy FriYay y’all! ~ with love from 11 dogs on the sofa

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

This jackass and his tarrifs. If my friend wants to mail me a package that is subject to tarrifs?! I thought it was just actual orders from stores/places, which was bad enough. But personal mail?

It’s FriYAY! Mom thought everyone could use a little baby Samshine today!

Alright I have something useful for you to do. Think of any teachers and librarians you know. Do they know about Skype a scientist? Our program matches classrooms & other groups w/scientists for virtual Q&As. It’s free! They can sign up here! www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html #Edusky #StemED

My folks are going to Ireland for 7 days, and while I hope they have a good time, I also hope leaving this country gives them a slap in the face re: things.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Do NOT mess with a Chicago woman in heels, y’all! 👠 SHERO Illinois state senator Karina Villa defended her constituents against ICE goons.

Hey @revdaniel.bsky.social I forgot to factor rush hour traffic into my take out stop. I will be late to BS tonight! The local library is doing a fundraiser, and I stopped to pick up dinner to suport them. I just didn't time things well. 😬

Bethesda posted a clip from the new Indiana Jones DLC of Indy petting a cat and saying “you don’t care much about fascists do you?” And they are all pearl clutching saying this was a direct attack on Charlie Kirk. That’s where we are. Indiana Jones, known fascist killer, is triggering them.

😂😂😂 Holy fuck. The Onion can't top shit like this.

My folks dog (profile pic) is 14.5. He's definitely showing his age. I was visiting this weekend, and I told him I would be back in 2 weeks. My mom just called. They're going to put him down Tuesday. He hasn't eaten anything all day. I just wish I had said real goodbye instead of "see you" goodbye
