Kieran & I were listening to the Hymn to Aten (Egyptian sun deity) by Erika Mermuse. And then the sun came out.

Sit with us a minute & breathe 💜

#UglyDogs a pack member (who I don't think is on here?) goes to the hospital tomorrow night to start the process of delivering her first baby.

I won't make an official time or anything, because baby isn't expected until morning, but if you find it in you, awoooooooooo with joy.

Idc who you offer up prayers or good vibes or positive thoughts into an unknowing universe or whathaveyou. Dolly Parton has brought good into the world in many ways. So for her, we pray.

I'm so proud of her for being quietly interested vs boisterously interested!

All those praises are a good start but not enough! Congrats 🎉

RavenMae @ravenmae.bsky.social · 15h

This is my take too! If I die alone with Kieran, I don't want him to die too. If he eats me or drinks my blood, fine. I don't believe this creates a vicious man-eater of a dog.

RavenMae @ravenmae.bsky.social · 15h

Ah, she's both a service dog in training & a volunteer pest control service at the hospital!

RavenMae @ravenmae.bsky.social · 15h

Sending good vibes to Priya! And love to you as you worry 💜

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Adoptable husky alert in Modesto!

Brynn Tannehill @brynntannehill.bsky.social · 2d

Hey, putting this back out there: please help me find someone to foster or adopt this sweet husky mix. She's going to go on the red list soon, and I need ya'lls help. If you see this, please share / re-post to get the word out and get it in front of as many eyeballs as possible.

Brynn Tannehill @brynntannehill.bsky.social · 4d

I visited Breezy / Scratch today in Modesto, and she needs a home. I did all sorts of behavioral tests on her, and she's going to be a great companion: she just needs some training. Please, someone give her a home before I do. I can't afford a divorce. #BG3

Exactly this! Boosting means more here than it did on the old place because it's so much easier to miss what was originally posted 9+ hours before you logged on. When I had a GFM, I'd often get donations while I slept because someone RT it during my offline period.

West Philly, our beloved indoor cat “London” is MIA, and might have gotten out on the 4700 block of Baltimore—please let me know if you see a fluffy gray cat who looks way too soft for the street life.

The moon was so bright last night! Beautiful!

Yes! My BedJet can blow hot air under my blanket but I only like it when the room is very cold.

I feel for her. I still have daily migraine pain but the severity has decreased to a bearable level with botox. But whenever my other neuro disabilities flare, I still need a rescue med. I hope your friend gets some relief as the Botox builds up in her system!

My latest for Outside is an investigation into forest bathing, which all about finding nature where you can: "At the time, she was working with clients in care facilities. She started bringing in baskets of grass that they could step in with their bare feet." www.outsideonline.com/culture/essa...

Can You Really Forest Bathe in the Middle of a City? I Tried It.

Now that Kieran is slowing down & taking relaxing breaks on our walks, I find myself forest bathing more. It started as checking out what he was hearing or smelling & became my own interest too.

I purchased from Abi's shop because every random cheapo artist glove I've ever bought has fallen apart within weeks and I'm tired of it! I like buying things that are cute and made with care and will last– it's economically sensible AND less wasteful to support individual craft. what's not to love

This isn't towards those who are broke.

I've noticed that people devalue my work. I could have hundreds of reviews raving about my products. But people only wanna support me if they feel they're getting a VERY "cheap" price. While so many other creators can charge whatever for their products.
