Sly side #blep from Ms. Penelope
A black labrador retriever lays on her back on a couch. She is gazing up at her human, the top of her head resting against the human's leg. A little bit of her pink tongue pokes out of the side of her mouth, having escaped its toothy confines.

812,000 Arizonans don't have a representative right now because Republicans refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The GOP must stop playing games with our democracy.

Good trouble, or just trouble? Goose and Pepper can't seem to make up their minds...
A petite tortoiseshell siamese cat on a kitchen counter and a large tuxedo cat sitting on top of a nearby microwave look like they are up to no good

We're coming up on the 3rd anniversary of my mother moving in with us when she needed a place to land. It was meant to be a temporary, 6mo arrangement. Sometimes she surprises me by doing the dishes and I come home to gestures like this. I am so grateful to have her safe under my roof. #sharejoy

I can't stop cackling at this video thumbnail of Penny with her ears mid-flap #sharejoy #dogsofbluesky
A black labrador retriever's ears are sticking straight out from the sides of her head as she returns to earth following a mighty hop. Her expression is one of zaniness.

We have the most creative, talented team of staff and students running our socials. This was a hoot and a half to film, and we surpassed our fundraising goal! Happy #piday www.instagram.com/p/DHL4nsSRymd/

Caption this? #dogsofbluesky
A black labrador retriever named Penny is laying on her back on a couch. Gravity is pulling her lips and forehead down and back, giving her a derpy yet startled appearance. She looks very silly indeed.

"You gonna eat that?" #pennydoggosays
A black labrador retriever with honey golden eyes by the name of Penny looks across a dining table surface. Her profile is visible from the nose up, and her facial expression conveys longing.

Hmm. I don't recall adding "tortie-siamese, a little on the small side" to my grocery order this week.
A small tortoiseshell-siamese cat named Pepper is poised to jump out of a cardboard box. The box has a pink "Imperfect Foods" logo printed on its side.

Goose would like y'all to know that he does not, in fact, like hot sauce.
A handsome black & white tuxedo cat sits tall and proud in a sunbeam. His face conveys a deadpan expression. An assortment of hot sauce bottles are in the foreground.

Meow. #sharejoy
A small green hedge is vaguely trimmed into a topiary cat. It has large false eyes with cat pupils. It is decorated with a kelly green tulle skirt dotted with satin shamrocks and a golden tie with a rainbow ending in a pot 'o gold and black belt applique. A small yellow sign is staked into the ground next to it. The sign, printed in the round, reads: "NO POOP & PEE BE RESPECTFUL".

If you see this, post a photo from your device with no explanation
A hotel hallway is garishly decorated with metallic silver and cream wallpaper. The carpet is muddy brown with a black squiggly line design, and it sorely clashes with the wallpaper. It is both ugly and disorienting.

So excited for @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social and Amanda Montell as they discuss gossip and Kelsey's new book -- let's goooooooo!!! #sharejoy #normalgossip
A woman holds a copy of Kelsey McKinney's new book, "You Didn't Hear This from Me," up to her face as she smiles A theater stage is set with two comfortable-looking chairs slightly facing each other. In-between the chairs is a small wooden table with water bottles and a copy of the speaker's book. Attendees fill in the rows of seats leading up to the stage. Though the picture doesn't capture this, there are strong "fucking cool ass people" vibes in the space.

Dogs of Class One 🍩 #sharejoy #dogsofbluesky #donutshops
A large picture frame displays many small photos of regular customers' dogs inside of Class One, a popular donut shop in Glendora, CA. A label at the top center edge of the frame reads: "DOGS OF CLASS ONE." All of the dogs have their names written below their photos, and they are adorable names like "Bluey" and "Maddie" and "Loki." They look like they are all very good bois and girls.

Other folx are sharing moments of joy, and I'm finding them a welcome reprieve -- like coming up for a gasp of air in the deluge of breaking news. I'm adding my moments here with the hope they help someone else. #sharejoy #dogsofbluesky #labradorretriever
