I like dogs. I’m a Democrat and a feminist. I also read a lot (mostly fantasy and detective novels).

Dogs are still good.
Black collie mix with white blaze sits on kinda dead looking grass and dirt, grinning broadly at the camera. She’s just happy to be alive and with people who love her.

Sometimes my dog is too cute.

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

I hope you like seafood, because this mosaic floor is showing what’s on the menu. 🦞 🐟

Said to be from Populonia, in Tuscany, this mosaic emblema was probably part of the floor of a triclinium, a dining room, of a patrician villa. That lobster is magnificent. 🏺 #mosaicmonday 1/

This mosaic emblema features edible sealife from the Mediterranean, exactly what a patrician household could expect to serve to guests for dinner. Therefore, although its findspot isn't exactly known, it almost certainly graced the floor of a Roman villa's <i>triclinium</i> or dining room. There’s a giant lobster, upside down, with a white octopus, a moray eel, and several varieties of fish against a background of black tesserae. Roman, ca. 100 CE. Said to be from Populonia, Tuscany, near Rome. British Museum, London (1989,0322.1)

Last night, Pepper *really* wanted some of the chicken we were cooking - this was just after my husband put it on the stove (so it was still mostly raw). Unfortunately, the dish includes onions and raisins, so she had to settle for a whimzee.

We finally decorated our tree yesterday and I put my two favorites of the ornaments I bought this year right next to each other. #uglydogs
Two Christmas ornaments on a tree. One is a mixed media hairy coo and the other is wooden with an image of a sled dog and text underneath reading “Nature’s Kennel Sled Dog Adventures.”

Well, this looks like a very good chance to finally get a marker for PCD.
If the gene can be isolated, a test may be possible in the future.

I've known Snotty.
Most of us have.
Let's do this in her memory.

I will add $50 to any donation until the goal is met.

Hello friends! I've been keeping this under wraps for a long time, but finally ready to share. Watkins has Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), the same disease @beccaj.bsky.social 's Snotty had. I am working with the University of Minnesota to research PCD in Alaskan Huskies.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

When I tell you this Red-shouldered Hawk yesterday was at EYE LEVEL... 😂 #birds
Photo of a hawk flying right at me above a snow-covered wooden rail fence with a blurry black car driving past directly behind it. Only the tips of the hawk's upturned wings are higher than the car roof.

I read the marvelous @cheriepriest.com’s novel Grave Reservations all in one day yesterday and it was great! Witty, charming, fun, and fascinating. I highly recommend it.
