I love dogs, especially mine (Gatsby). I'm also trying to stay better informed about politics in the UK and the world from rational and non hateful sources as I'm tired of self gratifying vitriol.

“We don’t yet know the name of the ICE agent who pulled the trigger and killed Good. But we already know enough to say that Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and the bullshit conspiratorial ecosystem they’ve built around themselves – and which they use to sustain their rule – are complicit in her death.”
