I'm trying so hard to focus on being grateful for our short time, and knowing we never took a day for granted. He was ridiculously clever, incredibly sweet, loud and funny, and we're going to always miss him.
Go hug your dog for me.
Giving Sunny a kiss on his huge orange melon. Sunny and him mom on their last walk together.

Sunny packed a lot of living and loving into three and a half years: he swam in Half Moon Bay, played in the Sierra snow, ran with the coyotes in cow country and explored the desert in Death Valley.
A brain tumor took him from us two days ago.

We adopted Sunny in Riverside, CA, on May Day 2022, the meekest and sweetest of a litter of Queensland heelers.
Sunny, a big red heeler lays flat on top of a dude on a couch. Sunny always dropped his ball in his water bowl before pushing it around to drink the water. Not sure if he loved the challenge, or wanted to wash his ball. Sunny as a two-month old puppy, one ear flopped to the side, chews on a blue plush toy on the kitchen floor. Sunny, a big red heeler, on his side on a wood floor, his feet against the wall.

Boo, with ball.
A brown and white spotted heeler mix holds a bright orange ball in his mouth. The lens distortion makes his head look comically huge. A brown and white spotted heeler mix holds a bright orange ball in his mouth. He is on the rug, his eyes twinkle.

Had a few drinks, walked up to Lovecraft's house but he's still dead.
Providence is pretty nice.
A shadowed figure looms outside the gate. Stalking up the hill towards the DEAD END The Providence riverfront at night, a few ducks bobbing around in the dark water.

Birds nest fungus grows all over my dad's house and I'd never noticed it before. Hooray for tiny, weird mushrooms!
A young bird's nest fungus grows out of mulch. Dew drops are formed on the bright white tops of the fuzzy brown conical fungus. Bird's nest fungus viewed from above amid faded brown mulch. The fungus forms a cone, a pale white in the middle with what appear to be tiny eggs inside Bird's nest fungus looking like tiny trumpets erupting from brown mulch

Can't forget the second act of GWOT Mania: everything is anthrax (feat. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's best quote)
The Guardian, October 10th, 2001 Headline: 'Guacamole is not dangerous' A little bit of spilled powdered milk has caused commercial jets to make emergency landings and led Northwest Airlines to stop providing coffee creamers or artificial sweeteners on its flights. On another flight, a man opened a greeting card and some confetti spilled out. The plane was grounded for 3 hours while the hapless passenger was escorted off the plane stripped and scrubbed with detergent. In Chicago, hazmat teams looking like spacemen were called in to analyze some green goo. It turned out to be guacamole. The city's mayor Richard Daley was forced to issue a statement he can never have anticipated making in his long political career: guacamole is not dangerous.

Found a cassette tape stuck to a wall today.

Plenty of rooms available

Saint Booboo
Boo, a brown and white cattle dog mix, sits patiently with an orange ball in his mouth. Behind him is a metal sculpture of circling fish, creating a halo behind his head which is appropriate because he is an angel

Learned all about Dr. Karl Leuger, a real bastard, while visiting Vienna. Good candidate for a Behind the Bastards episode, if @iwriteok.bsky.social hasn't already. Rabid antisemite, cult of personality, big influence on another fash piece from Austria...

Hey, fuck you Karl.
The Dr. Karl Leuger monument in Vienna, tagged with paint and the words "Shame" and "nazi" because Karl was a rabid, dangerous antisemite piece of shit. My middle finger may be visible also.

Honestly, nothing says "popular American historian" like quoting racists.
Image of a post from Kevin m. Cruz arguing that people shouldn't wave flags representing their cultures or countries while facing off against fascist cops. He quotes a post from white replacement theorist Tom Nichols that says, "oh good people waving Mexican flags in Los Angeles"

The toadying doesn't age well
A Ro Khanna opinion piece titled "Democrats can work with DOGE. I know exactly where to start"

Did Elon buy Ro Khanna a horse already? Seems overdue.
"We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic party has more of the values that he agrees with," [Rep. Ro] Khanna said. "A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him." A news release from Rep. Ro Khanna reads opinion: Democrats can work with DOGE. I know exactly where to start.
