This is Charlie, also known as Chuckles.

I need to put on my patient pants today because I'm going to be spending most of it in airports. First flight is delayed at least 1.5 hours, which means I had to rebook my connection so now I have a 3 hour layover instead of 1 hour, and I'll arrive at 5:30pm instead of 1:30pm 🫠

Green light on for Kieran tonight. Rest well sweet boy. Say hi to Ellie for me 💚 #UglyDogs

I love when smart people get the chance to show off what they know!

#UglyDogs outta context 🤣

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

Today's adventure in home ownership - my undermount sink detached from the countertop and is hanging on by one short side. I have it propped up underneath for now, but hopefully I can find someone to fix it quickly 🙃

Why do people insist on answering "a or b" questions with "yes"? I cannot finish this time sensitive task without a real answer!

Pick a Bond villain from the pictures you already have on your phone

I missed Rescue Pup Day yesterday - oops! As an apology, please accept this picture of Charlie on his gotcha day.

Me-rote control, courtesy of my younger brother as a child. Also, my family still occasionally calls me Fricksy because that's how a baby cousin said my name 30 years ago.

Between work travel, personal travel, and caretaking for my mom post 2 cataract surgeries, I have not slept in my own bed for the last 21 nights, and I won't for another 11 🫠

I left my house at 8:30am ET. I will get to my hotel at around 7pm PT. For a 2 day meeting 🫠

Privilege. I want that second i to be an e so badly.

This is a dance off. If you see this post, you have to repost or be eliminated.

#UglyDogs and dog people in general - any tips for making life easier on a dog who's going deaf? Layla has always been anxious, but since her hearing has really started going her startle reflex is in overdrive and I feel so bad for her.

I live in FL. I've been in WA state for a week and get home about 10:30pm tonight. I fly to Nashville 36 hours later and don't get back until Friday night. Then I get a week at home before I have to fly to San Diego for 4 days. Then I'm staying with my mom for a week and in NYC for a weekend. 🫠

I'm currently on the west coast, but my body is still very firmly on east coast time, so I'm enjoying a quiet morning with coffee, pastries, a book, and a fire. Life does not suck today.

Y'all, I am flying to Seattle to see my bestie and there is a DOG in my row! Meet Tao (named after Tsingtao beer 😂). Best seatmate ever!

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using with no explanation.

Fort Frederica, Sapelo Island, Howfyl-Broadfield Plantation, and at least every other year we had to climb to the top of the St. Simons lighthouse.

Tell me a random fact about yourself that sounds fake but is 100% true. I got my Associates Degree before my high school diploma.

Psychology has a name for this pattern: hyperindependence. It often forms when someone has to self-manage too early, whether emotionally, practically, or both. Independence becomes a strength — but also a shield. #News

Central Park covered in snow is absolutely beautiful, but my Floridian ass now needs 3-5 business days to thaw 🥶

It's Layla's gotcha day! She's staying with my parents while I'm in NYC, but that means she's spending the day with her bestie, Jackson 💜 #UglyDogs

The world may be a dumpster fire, but there are some glimmers of hope and I'm on a plane to NYC for a long weekend, so for the moment, life is good.

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

Our rights exist in a use-it-or-lose-it moment. If we sit down and shut up because we're afraid of what might happen, it is DEFINITELY going to happen.

If the US can abolish USAID, we can sure as shit abolish ICE.

Excuse me, I live in Florida! This is just rude and uncalled for.

So far in 2026 I have a new job, a new phone, a new mattress, and a new car. In a month or so I'm going to have a new couch. 2025 is staying firmly in the past!

Altamaha River

I officially survived my first week back at work. I'm making a little less than the job that laid me off, but I have about a third of the responsibilities, so I think I came out ahead.

Today was my first day back at work after 2 months of unemployment. I have a sit in front of a computer job, but I am out of practice!

New year, new job! After a 2 month hiatus, I go back to work on Monday! I'll be doing exactly the same type of work for the same client agency, just employed by a different company.

Ok then!

This year on Bluesky I wrote 103 posts and 763 replies. I received 3,460 likes, with 123 from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "not" and 🟩 (thanks Wordle)! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

I walked past Leslie Odom Jr in Shuberts Alley as he was headed to the Richard Rodgers and I was headed to dinner. I should have said hi but I just kind of froze instead.

BSky friends - does anyone have a walking pad they love (or one to avoid? I want something I can stroll on while watching TV since it's too hot to walk outside about 9 months of the year.

#UglyDogs Today is Charlie's 10th gotcha day! His plans include demanding all the mama snuggles when he's not barking at the appliance repair guy & the kids who have the audacity to play in HIS street.

Merry Christmas from Florida, where it is a balmy 70°!

I got laid off and didn't fall into the depression pit!

Thoroughly enjoyed this thread!

I got a job offer today, contingent on govt award of contract (normal in my line of work). It's a step up in title but not responsibility, & a minor decrease in pay & benefits. I'm going to take it because I don't have a partner as backup, but I was really hoping for a position to be excited about.

Well that was pure dumb luck Wordle 1,626 2/6 ⬛⬛🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

And if you're not sure when your last TDaP was, get one, especially if you're going to be around a baby. 10 years is max, not a minimum!

We buy prepared turkey from a restaurant and use our energy on sides & desserts.

Definitely the face of a dog who was not digging in the grass 😂
