I love her so much but she has been insane this morning.

The stars aligned and we finally had a day where we both felt good and not too tired, distracted, etc.... and could talk about one of our favorite episodes! It deserves us at our best!

Every day she puts me through a battle of "how do I got back to work when she is like this?"

this was a great moment in modern American history, it instantly stopped this man from becoming a more consequential figure

Using a photo of the guy open carrying from a completely different neighborhood in the city to represent protestors and supposedly congregants who got angry at a pastor who is working as the field director of ICE is just fucking egregious.

Your daily dose of Mokey.

Trying to convince her to go outside is an ordeal. The disinterest and lack of bones is intense.

She looks like the weight of the world is on her shoulders.

Despite US politics being a total clusterfuck, this is an incredible development. It will be the first time anyone under the age 54 will have been alive to see a Lunar mission. Part of the spacecraft was also built by the European Space Agency. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A rare photo for this time of year - an awake Mokey. She takes hibernation season seriously

Baby been burrowed in these pillows all night

Don't worry, her next haircut is already scheduled.

It's Girl Scout cookie season and soon troops will be out at booths. As someone who participated in many booths back in the day... Here are some good reminders on how to interact with the kiddos... -say hi, ask them questions! They are working on confidence, social skills, communication, etc ...

This is a wonderful annual resource! I’d like to add that your local council may also have troops organized in hospitals, homeless shelters, resident foster homes, refugee centers, or other troops organized specifically to support marginalized kids, some of whom may also be trans.

I somehow ended up being important enough at work to have major deadlines but not important enough that anyone else respects those deadlines and I would just like to not be important at all.

The winter sadness has taken over the baby. She was living her best life the past two days when it was above freezing.

Asking me why I am allowing it to snow like I can do something about it!

It's warm enough in January for a lil lay down

There is a lady in our neighborhood who stops us every time she sees us because Mokey looks like her dog that passed a couple years ago. We used to run into them all the time when the dog was around too. They looked nothing like each other. Like not even a little bit. It forever confuses me.

Mokey would like to show off her Christmas Zero.

Me on said call

Yes, nearly every Thursday.

Don't question the muse when it hits

Sound on for puppy dreams.

The screams I’m hearing up and down the street would be very concerning if I weren’t aware of the football game tonight.

Who needs to pay attention to the football game when everyone in your neighborhood just starts screaming at the same time?

Cuddles!

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Best friend!

Yes, the story is that the alderman of the neighborhoods where cops live is a fearmongerer (in addition to his crimes and corruption). But also it's January in Chicago. "After dark" includes afternoon rush hour.

She could tell

I absolutely believe this asshole has never ridden the CTA in his life and assumes people just do it for funsies and not because it's their only mode of transportation.

I guess I'd have to leave the show to make that last point happen.

It's a blanket burrito day.

Chicago 🖤

I've spent the past two days at all day in person work things and I need to not speak to another human (aside from Grant) for like minimum 36 hours to recovery

New episode! Bridger returns to commandeer seaQuest for an operation to cover up the UEOs past crimes, and his part in them. Farewell Roy. rss.com/podcasts/wsk...

This is insane. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

The Trace has been tracking shootings connected to Trump's immigration crackdowns — an important project that I had somehow missed but shines today: www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

At least 3 solidarity vigils are scheduled tonight in the Chicago area. The one The TRiiBE notes here, at 26th & Troy in Chicago's La Villita neighborhood, at 7:30 pm. Another at Winnemac Park in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, at 6 pm. A third at Fountain Square in Evanston, IL, at 7:30 pm.

What a little creature.

“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.” Monstrously cruel.

You ever go on a nature walk so good it makes you rethink the entire global economy? And the accidental murder of hundreds?

She deserves the world.
