A watercolor painting of a happy white samoyed (Sprout) in front of a giant monstera plant. The first panel of the Cup Pup comic. A yellow puppy walks down a sidewalk lined with daisies. They are carrying a reusable cup in their mouth and wearing a backpack. Text: "I love my cup. I bring it everywhere." A tableau of 4 golden retrievers. 1 sleeping, 1 rolling on it's back chewing a teddy bear, 1 looking at the previous, 1 jumping happily at food on a counter. 3 white ducks swimming through lily pads. The 1st is carrying fairy bread and leaving sprinkles in its wake. The 2nd looks at a fish. The 3rd is wearing a flower on its head like a hat.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Hand holding up the children's book "The Day Leap SOARED" in front of a flowering bush. Hand is somewhat covering text at the bottom that reads "Words by Blair Braverman Pictures by Olivia When". The cover shows a young alaskan husky (Leap) leaping over a snow bank at sunrise. Six other tiny huskies in harnesses on the right, and the musher and sled on the left are all cheering her on.

Some sketchbook paintings from a recent trip to NY! 🍂🍁
A gouache painting of an intersection with yellow, green, and red trees in the bg. There are yellow taxis and school buses waiting at the light with some other cars. A long haired person is walking a big grey dog, waiting to cross. The green street sign reads "5 Av". Below the painting in the white space reads "11/3/25 - 5 Av, NYC" A little white and brown spotted dog with a red collar and leash is waiting behind the yellow line in an underground subway stop. A train with the number 7 in a red circle is approaching. The floor is tiled, and there's an escalator in the bg. Text below reads "11/2/25 - 7 line"

Good morning! The rain has stopped in Tokyo this morning, so I was able to go for a walk. Masuke is doing well. The osmanthus is in full bloom.

If you've ever faced food insecurity in the past: you know how it stays with you. Things are about to get tough for 40 million people. If you're in a place where you can donate some money (or TIME) to your local food bank, please be really intentional about it in November.

Leap has arrived! What an adorable little book. The lovely illustrations had me smiling ear to ear.

Thanks to @blairbraverman.bsky.social and @oliviawhen.com and Leap - I needed that! #uglydogs
The cover of "The Day Leap Soared," written by Blair Braverman and illustrated by Olivia When. The cover picture shows a sled dog puppy in mid-leap against a sunset sky. Signed by Blair and Leap! A page from the book "The Day Leap Soared," with the text "This is Leap. She is a sled dog puppy." The illustration shows a gray & white puppy chewing on the sled harness.

I'm squealing! Just got my copy of "The Day Leap Soared" by @blairbraverman.bsky.social. I had high expectations for this; but the story, the illustrations, the quality of the printing, blew me away. If you want a special gift for children, or an adult who's a kid at heart, this is a wonderful gift!

Blair Braverman’s 'The Day Leap Soared' Is Inspired by a Real Sled Dog
Braverman’s first picture book is inspired by her irrepressible pup Leap—and the lessons of individuality and teamwork she carries on the trail

It's the release date of The Day Leap Soared!! To celebrate here are all the dogs doing some interpretations of "reading."
A brown and cream Alaskan husky (Jenga) is sitting at a table with her head resting on a closed book. The bg is a bright yellow, and she has a red "...?" above her head. Is this reading? Not as exciting as expected. A big dark brown and white husky with freckles around his mouth (Colbert) is sitting while chewing on a book. It already has a chunk missing. His tail is curled in, and he appears pretty satisfied. A dark grey and cream husky with brown ears (Leap) is jumping over an open book on the ground and looking at it as she passes by. She looks interested, but probably only read a couple words on this pass.
