Hello friends!
In case you don’t know me, my name is Em and the… Em Madden needs your support for Bella and Moneypenny both need surgery. Please help!
gofund.me
Hi my wonderful #uglydogs & friends. I mentioned a few weeks ago that Bella and Moneypenny both need surgery. I lost my jobs in the DOGE cuts back in April and am currently unable to afford the care they need. Any help would be SO appreciated. I hate seeing my babies in pain. gofund.me/bfe99ebd2
Welp Bella and I are headed back to the vet tomorrow. She’s been letting out yelps if she is pet a certain way or Moniez bumps into her. Didn’t think too much about it because she’s opinionated sometimes. Today her hip gave out while someone was petting her and she’s been hiding behind the toilet.

This is exactly what I’ve been telling everyone who mentioned that initial ‘DOGE is dead’ article. It’s embarrassing that the original article ever got published, because it is very obvious what happened with DOGE staff.
NEW: DOGE is far from dead, contrary to recent reporting. Instead, its operatives have “burrowed into” federal agencies “like ticks.”
Here’s what the DOGE crew is up to now:

A dear friend and colleague lost her husband to gun violence on Friday. My heart is beyond shattered for her and her sons. It doesn’t have to be this way.

How do you tell a former coworker that you highly respect that just because you tell ChatGPT to stop hallucinating, it does not stop hallucinating because that issue is fundamental to how LLMs work. Even in the paid version.

What he’s leaving out here is that Olivia would have been 18-22 if the timeline of this story is correct. I don’t really think that anyone has a particular problem with a wealthy person buying expensive gifts. It’s the dynamic of the relationship.
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

If you’ve never seen a dog throw a hissy fit before, I’m here to share that it is realllllly something. Bella is extremely upset that she couldn’t have a third bedtime treat (had to cut food off at 10) and is feeling all her feelings out loud….very expressively. I was hoping for some cuddles….

Bella goes in for surgery tomorrow. I’m always a bit of a mess when a dog has to go under anesthesia.
She’s gonna murder me for not letting her eat hard foods for 2 weeks.

I need ideas for a fun, interactive dog toy (think puzzle-like but I’m not sure I want to get a puzzle) and the sturdiest cat toy you’ve ever seen.
Bella needs something that stimulates her brain a bit and Moniez LOVES all cat toys but is too good at destroying them.
