Milli is a giant live action derp muppet #dailydogjoy

Funny how this sounds like it fucking sucks for anyone who’s not Larry Ellison.

The cutest dog moments of the day

Update on the Somerville Dog Mayor race. My dog’s boyfriend, Wally Pascal, placed 5th… thanks to everyone who rallied and barked the vote to get him there. The mayoral seat was won by Jake, a 10-yr old mix of all the goodest boys … and lifelong resident of Somerville.

Find someone that squeals with happiness when they see you like Wally does for Jessica! #dailydogjoy

If you live in Boston area - Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, etc. and you need a little joy… this pawlitical pawty at Remnant Brewery in Somerville’s Bow Market (Union Square) this coming Tuesday will provide a nice little distraction for a couple hours. Free ice cream for the pups, raffles, & more!

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

Little Wally is only 18 votes away from the top 5 for local Somerville Dog Mayor election. His mum needs some joy after TWO rounds of layoffs (2 companies) in 12 months. Voters don’t have to live here. Could you help Wally get those 18 votes by voting & sharing? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Luka really loves his soft serve!

this may brighten your day tbh

Shutdown? Dems must play hardball no matter the cost until they can guarantee there will be free and fair future elections.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Today’s pupper moment of joy is… well, there were a bunch of moments today. Just look at these candidates for Somerville Dog Mayor!!! Beau, Wally, Missy & Luna, and Jake… just 4 of the 40 … all are incredibly derpy and easily more qualified to run the city than any human politician I’ve met.

Asking the important questions … and being ok with not knowing the answers

This is Winry. She was having a very action-packed dream. Can't remember the details, but Keanu Reeves was there. 13/10 (TT: itsaudreylauren)

A $200 million ballroom, the Gulf of America, the mugshot hanging on the front of buildings, the worsening economy…the clues are there. Living through the rise of a dictatorship just means inhabiting a space that is gradually shrinking. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Today’s daily moment of pupper joy is your favorite little pup Wally - out on the Somerville Dog Mayor campaign trail, sniffing butt and wagging tails, with his supportive gurlfren Jessica!

Today’s pupper moment of joy… my girl Jessica with her stick. She never dogs like this. In our 7 years together, she’s only played with a stick 3 times! I love watching her do traditional pup things.

Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

Today’s pupper moment of joy is Whiskey, after a peanut butter soft serve … saving a little piece of cone on his wiry chin for later. This is your sign to savor moments in life like Whiskey savors an ice cream cone! Make a mess. Get it all over your face. Save some for later.

Bagging up the candidate bandanas for the (original) Somerville Dog Mayor election. I vote more pawlitics and less politics

Today’s daily pupper moment of joy is Mogul… this sweet boy has tri-pawd mobility and doesn’t let that stop him. He swung in today to check out the fall sweaters and grab himself some dog-formulated soft serve. A total win of a day.

Today’s pupper moment of joy is Wally, exhausted after a long play date with his bestie at the parko. He stopped into my store with his mom and quickly fell asleep on her lap, ears and toe beans tucked.

It feels like the news is awful and everything is ugh. So, I’m going to commit to posting one moment of doggie joy each day. These are pics from my shop - just the happiest and goobest puppers. Here is an ice cream eating montage

@goldengirls.bsky.social thanks for the follow. I haven’t been super active here in awhile but I’m going to try to be better about it moving forward.

There’s a dog mayor election happening in Somerville, MA. Wally is one of the (40) candidates… he’s my dog’s boifren and bestest pal. Can we get everyone to vote for him (or the pup that aligns with your values?) www.somervilledogmayor.com

back in 2019, I took all of Donald Trump's lies as documented by Polifact and created a text mosaic out of them; this was the result

Created this super short protest safety guide for pet owners. Any protest has the potential to shift quickly and escalate in just moments - especially those planned for this weekend! Please keep your pets inside at home (including cats), tucked away from the protest action, to keep them safe.

GenX lost two incredible people this week: Mike Peters of The Alarm passed of aggressive lymphoma, aged 66 Jill Sobule passed in a house fire at her residence, also aged 66

We know Elon Musk is in the process of smashing and trashing the US government—but why? As @elienyc.bsky.social theorizes, the reason about more than trying to strip the government to his studs: it’s about creating a nothing less than Neo-Apartheid in the US.

Call them want they really are: HACKERS This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit! They are boy hackers! Plain and simple This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

@saramccandless.bsky.social hey Sara! Michele from @scritchesandboops.bsky.social here! Xx

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

@bornmiserable.bsky.social you ok? Checking in

The British neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick, a leading authority on near-death experiences who collected anecdotes from some 2,000 people who described their visions, has died at 89.

I had Santa visit my store for the pups today. SO GOOOOD! www.instagram.com/p/DDTJ6o5MbIQ/

@henningo.bsky.social welcome, great to see you over here. Hope you are doing well.

Jessica the freckled hound doesn’t “dog” often, but when she does… it’s h*ckin’ cute!

Girls only want one thing. And it is to wake up just one goddamn day a week without some fresh hell to deal with.

This is worse than 2016, when the country sort of stumbled into Trump, not fully knowing what he was. This time around America knew what he was and chose it anyway.

AI folks have now discovered “thinking”

@alexwinter.com just saw the news about Waiting for Godot! Signed up to be kept in the loop. Sounds absolutely fantastic. Love Beckett!! Hope you and all you love are doing well. Happy Thursday.
