"The light always wins over darkness." Karla Sofía Gascón accepted the award for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy for Emilia Pérez at the Golden Globes last night. She was also nominated for Best Actress - the first out trans actor to be nominated. Her words were powerful:

Zeus is our 15yo rescue dog. He’s nearly blind and goes just any everywhere with us now. He was given up by his previous owner when he was 6yo bc they couldn’t care for both him and their other dog who had medical probs. We have to steal HIS blankets bc he now owns every blanket in our house.

Picked up at the #library this week. Politics impacts business, the economy, and our daily lives more than we’d like to admit IMHO. It’s been a long time since I took a class in poli sci, so this caught my eye!

It’s Woofer Wednesday! Show me your dog pics!
