I think everyone needs to see Olive at her dignified best. #DogsOfBlueSky
A golden retriever lying on her back on a grey carpeted floor getting belly rubs. Her front paws are in the air, curled, and her eyes are shut as her tongue falls out of the side of her mouth in blissful contentment.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

Hello everyone today we are getting some basic menstruation education! No, actually, MOST mammals do NOT menstruate! With maybe one or two exceptions, only primates shed their uterine lining in a regular cycle.

Other mammals have something called estrus.

As a vet and MP, I’ve seen both sides of this issue — the heartbreak for pet owners facing huge vet bills, and the pressure on vets doing their best within a broken system.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld bond, starting with Guards! Guards! and Ancillary Justice by @annleckie.com for books.

It's funny how my opinion has changed over time on this. Was brought up to "respect" books so I don't keep them open upside down, use only paper thin bookmarks, don't fold corners or mark them... I still do all of this, but I've stopped being judgemental about anyone else who does it!

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

This is a wonderful thread that explains how & why Portland is Like This.
