I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m quite certain Bertie loves her Christmas sweater!

It may take until we are very old and grey but there WILL be reparations for this shit. We have to spend the rest of our lives demanding it.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

A cool thing about living in Pullman is that there’s an excellent vet med school here. So Beetle’s first adoption applicant is a vet student! Fingers crossed.

Because the algorithm knows I foster dogs, I get constant alerts on FB for dogs needing rescue. The ones for dogs left behind after ICE raids are getting more and more common. I know there are a million things to be infuriated and sad about right now, but those ones especially just break me.

This is the dream. Someday if I am in hospice care and can’t tell you what I want, this is what I want.

My amazing little bug is now available for adoption! If you’re in the Pacific NW and are looking for a tiny guy to cuddle, check him out.

This is some bullshit.
On the day that @opb.org CEO Rachel Smolkin posted this video, saying OPB’s funding gap of $5 million was closed, I was also told by the Chief Content Officer that Hush was canceled. Eighty percent of my income, and my health insurance - gone. I was given no reason for the cancellation. 1/x

OPB has closed this year’s $5 million budget gap created when Congress ended federal funding. Our work is not done. A strong future for free and fair journalism requires your support.

We have an almost snuggle! I think Bertie is warming to her foster brother. Or she’s too tired to tell him not to tuck himself in behind her.

GLP-1s and Thanksgiving are not a great combination. But the situation has further reinforced my view that dessert belongs in the morning after. I enjoy it so much more when I’m not stuffed from dinner.

Guess who got his first walk on the beach today? You’d never know he had a major surgery a week ago. And, unlike some dogs I know, he did not growl at any children of guests during our dinner party.

Beetle’s rescue agency is doing a special fundraiser to help pay for the surgery on his little snaggleface. Throw him a few $ if you can.

What’s the German word for when you go to take a lovely picture of an animal but it pees or shits instead? I have so many of those.

When a woman consumes it it is trashy True Crime. When a man consumes it, it is very serious Criminal Justice reporting. It’s so weird that we ever pretend otherwise.

I was so sure Beetle would spend the day wiped from surgery. Instead he is bizarrely energized, zipping around, nuzzling for affection, and generally delighting me.

Ok so I took some time, did deep breathing, talked to a friend, and still the quiet piggy thing is making me incandescent with rage. Is there a 800# for this?
November 19, 2025 at 5:58 AM
I think I have my infinite anger in check and then I read quiet piggy stuff and I realize I have so much more work to do to keep from exploding. May these motherfuckers never know what is in my heart.

When nature takes him, as it takes us all, perhaps his entire obituary will simply read “quiet, piggy”

What will you do with your one wild and precious
15-minute period of non-meeting time tomorrow?

Why is every one of his emails marked as High importance?

the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge

All these people belong in prison for their punctuation alone. Well not alone I guess. In addition to all the other reasons they belong in prison.
