BTW, new people, these fools are Fusilli (I know, I know, best puli name ever) and Celosa. They sometimes stop by, mainly to ask for food, but sometimes to accept adoration.

Did you know it's a norm here to use alt text? It helps people who can't see the photos very well, sometimes with humor.
Two pulis stand side by side on a red patio with flaking paint. The smaller, on the left, is looking toward the larger, who is staring straight ahead.  The little one has a grey beard and a somewhat dominant posture. The larger has a blue bow tie that is askew under his cords. Both are black and fully corded.  Both have tags hanging from their necks.  Celosa and Fusilli, both black fully corded pulis, pose in a lavish loft style penthouse apartment with floor to ceiling windows behind them.  She is a smaller dog with black cords, and is standing on a Persian carpet.  He is sitting more seriously on a red wooden divan with a white cushion behind her and to the right.  The photo looks like an ill advised attempt to project that everything is fine in some magazine profile.  It appears that perhaps both are not on the same page. A closeup of Celosa the puli. She is fully corded and primarily black, with a white beard. She stands on a wooden floor with a piece of white furniture obscured behind her.  She is wearing id tags, and she is smiling. Her shiny nose peeks out from her fringe of cords and her pink tongue is behind row of bottom teeth.  She is looking lovely. Fusilli the puli lays on an unmade bed with white and grey bedding in geometric patterns.  He has one paw thrown over his eyes in a dramatic fashion, and it is somewhat difficult given his cords of fur to determine where exactly his limbs begin and his torso ends.  His blue bow tie peeks out under a row or white teeth.  He looks both relaxed and like he's over-doing it at the same time.

It’s very strange not to care about the baseball postseason.

Celosa. Pulí. Elder stateswoman. Demander of freshened water bowl. Theme song: “Satisfaction,” covered by Devo.
Celosa the puli stands smiling on a hardwood floor. She is a 16.75 year old black puli who is fully corded with a white beard.

Fusilli. Puli. Bringer of the outside to the inside. Treadder of the dust pile. Remorseless.
Fusilli the puli smiles as he lays on the hardwood floor.  He Isa black, fully corded puli.  His tongue is pink.

Big guys so intimidating, they scared the hats off the little guys.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Note: K, an avid acorn hunter, was DELIGHTED at the discovery of bur oak acorns. We went to the one tree I know about in the neighborhood, and he collected every one on the ground.

Sorry other bur oak enthusiasts!

Desk was in dining room/kitchen part of the open plan part of the house and also had the living room.

Oh I get it. The books used to live in my son’s room/husband’s office and my desk was in the living room. We just finished an addition that more than doubled the size of the bungalow, and I’m still pinching myself that it is the same house and I live here.

These were from CB2 and I spent MONTHS looking for them. The quote I got for built ins I wanted nearly made me faint, and these were pretty damn close at a third of the price.

Thanks! I do too! This is the other side.

View of the other side of my office / library.

I’m really pleased with how it has come out. I might hang more art on the western wall, but otherwise it’s exactly what I want.

I’m super lucky to also have a spare bedroom that doubles as the craft room so this one doesn’t have double duty.
A picture of an office with a vaulted ceiling.  A blonde plywood desk with two monitors on the far left next to a cabinet with a printer and organizer on it. There are large windows above. On the far wall straight ahead is an open steamer trunk with some clothes on the left and pink satin drawers on the right.  Artwork hangs above.  On the left is a blue cabinet with drawers and doors.  Tchotchkes are on it and more artwork hangs next to it.  There is a pink Persian carpet on most of the visible hardwood floor in the middle of the room and a pink dog bed next to the desk.  The room is cluttered but the owner knows where everything is.  She loves it.

This is a really, really good act of protest that uses a protest language that has a chance of reaching people who would otherwise dismiss the issue. You can tell by how many former Catholics are seeing it here and having like entire full-body shudders despite having left the church decades ago.

About 10 x 15ish. The bookshelf wall is 127 inches wide. I’m not as certain of how deep the room is.

Final furniture piece for my office / library. Just need to hang the blinds,* and the room is done.

*the eastern sun is lovely, but makes it impossible to see my monitors in the morning, so I need to cut some of the sunlight for part of the work day.

It’s both delightful and terrifying when you hear an “a-ha!” of discovery coming out of your 3 year old’s bedroom.

When masked secret police are crashing into cars & violently pulling women out & beating them to a pulp with no warrant, answering to no one, this isn't democracy!

We have 1 chance to retake power—Prop 50!

If you care about our country, VOLUNTEER or DONATE.

WE NEED YOU!
(Anyone can volunteer)🧵

It’s a little late, but the 10:00 am YMCA water aerobics class is starting strong!

One gentleman is so enthusiastic about the class he gets here about 15 minutes early for every class.

“The president is being fed a steady diet of AI generated propaganda videos from his team so they can direct his energies and signatures towards their own goals” is a real and true statement about America in 2025
