Santa Fe. Snow won’t stop us.

The associate, Rachel Cohen, recently organized an open letter that called on Big Law to respond to Trump's executive orders designed to sanction three prominent firms. The letter was signed by more than 300 Big Law associates. www.law.com/americanlawy...

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

This week’s adorable adoptable is Mina. She’s a little bundle of joy and fun. She’s all heart and cuteness. Looking for a partner but need one that tucks into a small space, she might be your girl. www.espanolahumane.org/adopt-a-dog/... #rescuedog #newmexico #santafe #shelterdog

Almost all the chickens are in full production mode.

This week’s Espanola pup is Koda. He’s a laidback dude who loves a good walk, but maybe more importantly, a good butt scritch. www.espanolahumane.org/adopt-a-dog/...

Will we get apricots? You never can tell.

This is Reece. He’s looking for a new place to call home. He’s not just a looker, but he’s sweet and smart and treat motivated. If you can’t resist this face, he’s ready. www.espanolahumane.org/adopt-a-dog/...

Zelenskyy is a better man than me because I would have started biting people.

Done.

What have I gotten myself into. Good thing I some expert assistance. #blackcats #catsky

When Social Security checks stop showing up because of gov’t employee purges, millions of Americans will finally understand what’s going on. “It is no exaggeration to say this will kill people — mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor.” [thehandbasket.co]

First daffodil of the season squeezing it’s way from under a rock. Also current mood.

This week’s round up of pups I walked at Espanola Animal Shelter. If any of them catch your eye, go meet them. www.espanolahumane.org/adopt-a-dog/ #rescuedog #santafe #adoptdontshop

Some of the pooches I walked this week at https://www.espanolahumane.org/adopt-a-dog/ Looking for a Valentine? They’ve got you covered.

Year of the snake. 🐍 finished this and called my representatives. Can I go back to bed now? #sketchbook #yearofthesnake 5calls.org

Scales completed. Now color? Ink? Not sure. Maybe I’ll leave it alone. (Very unlikely)

Drawing scales. So many scales. I may have lost it. We’ll see if I finish this. #sketchbook #yearofthesnake

February coming in with some beauty.

Apple love.

The final installment of Baking > Doomscrolling. English muffins. #bread #bakingasresistance

First experiment done. Now I just have to wait to see what it looks like inside, but it’s pretty cute outside. #bread

Now we wait until tomorrow to see if I’ve completely blown it🤣

Day 2. We have dough. What have I gotten myself into. Bulk fermentation is in full effect.

Last year I painted little watercolors of my friend’s and family’s pets and gave them out as presents. It was really fun and got me out of a painting slump for a bit. #dogart

Baking experiments are on the agenda for this week. Trying two new things. Fingers crossed.

This weekend 100s celebrated the life of New Mexico’s foremost bicycle advocate and elite bike mechanic Chuck Malagodi. Most every bike advocate from across NM came to ride together and remember him. www.abqjournal.com/multimedia/c...

The daily nap.

Walked some more shelter dogs today to try and tamp down the dread.

Every Tuesday I can, I walk shelter dogs in Espanola. Today’s crew was Scruffy, the fluff nugget of joy. Sassy, a chunk of love who really likes walks. And Donner, a distinguished gentleman, who is a complete sweetheart.
