yesterday when i woke up i had a dog. today i don't. rip rosie, 2011-2025. you were the most amazing, perfect dog ever and i'm so grateful we found each other and got to spend 11.5 years together. i will miss you forever. 💔
my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie sitting on a rug and peering up at the camera, or rather the treat i had in my hand. her mustache is very magnificent in this picture. my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie sitting in front of a sunny window, looking to the right and with her mouth open. my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie lying down on paver stones on a screened patio. she is gazing to the right and her front paws are stretched out and touching. my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie lying on my bed. she's looking to the left and her mouth is slightly open from panting. this was the last picture i took, 2 days before i had to say goodbye.

last night i had an upsetting dream about my dog and then when i woke up, instead of being able to comfort myself by giving her a cuddle, i had to remember all over again that she's been gone for 5 months. this weekend has fucking sucked.

thought i'd go out to get some coffee and do some reading and 2 people have already asked me why my face is so red, swollen, and bumpy. gee, it is truly a mystery why my agoraphobia went into overdrive when i developed rosacea.

there's a utility guy in the backyard and 2 of the cats are committed to making sure he doesn't get up to any shenanigans.
a fluffy tabby cat and a dilute calico cat sit on two different levels of a cat tree and peer intently through the white blinds of a window looking into the backyard.

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻❤️

A hole runs through the bear’s torso suggesting it was threaded on a cord, perhaps worn or carried as a protective charm.

Found in a peat bog near Słupsk, Poland, in 1887.

Photo by G. Solecki/A. Piętak of a small figurine of a bear carved out of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange. The display lighting makes it glow in places. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2 It was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the museum catalogue ‘’Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished”. In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was ‘Słupcio’,

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane
Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

aquarium date 🐻
illustration of two small brown bears (that look purple in the lighting) standing in front of a large aquarium tank that has a cute whale shark and two manta rays in it. silhouettes of fish and kelp are in the background. the aquarium is in all shades of blue. the style is simple and cute.

well, this is a new one for me. my part of florida is under an EXTREME COLD WATCH for saturday evening through sunday morning, with wind chill forecast in the single digits. 😭

one of the few good things about this extended stretch of garbage cold weather in florida is that it gives me time to plan a day trip to blue spring state park to see the manatees.

I saw a critique of Springsteen's new song, it being too earnest and cringe, and if I could just take a second to introduce you to the entire Bruce Springsteen catalogue we could settle this in a heartbeat.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Our friend the Southern Toad is a common toad who lives on the coastal plain of the southeast United States! They are most easily distinguished from other local toads by the knobs and backward-pointing spurs on their head! (photo by Eli McEuen)
A greenish brown toad with black markings! They are covered in lots of spiny bumps, and along their cheeks and sides the spiny bumps are a slight reddish color! They have large triangular knobs on top of their head behind their eyes!

sending all my love and good vibes to everyone in this monster winter storm's path. it's only going to get chilly here in northeast florida but four (!!) of my library holds became available overnight and i feel like that's the universe telling me to go into cozy storm mode anyway.

If you are:
-a leftist
-who does not like the DNC
-and lives in a red district
-that is rural or suburban

I encourage you to check out your local Dems and maybe get involved. Red districts are often ignored by national Dems; you may have more influence to push left locally than you think.
