So Google’s so-called AI was apparently feeling snarky about my Sunday cooking plan 🤣 Or just really doesn’t like roast 🐓

#my911story tldr: I was stationed overseas in South Asia and that reality always makes today kind of odd for me #911anniversary

Screenshot of a Twitter post from September 11, 2019. It begins with # my 9/11 story then reads: first tour foreign service officer in Chennai, India. 10.5 hours ahead of New York City. Had been out of the office sick Monday and Tuesday. Was watching “The Seige” movie about terrorism on US soil. Movie ended and I turned on CNN. I remember seeing the tower on fire and thinking “Is the movie still on?”

Screenshot of the second post in a Twitter thread from September 11, 2019 that reads: saw plane hit the second tower. Quickly informed that the Consulate would be closed Wednesday (since it was already Tuesday evening for us) and security around our living quarters was upped. I remember my then boyfriend (Aussie/Brit) walking in after work with just a horrified look on his face.

Third screenshot from a Twitter thread from September 11, 2019 that reads: Heard the State Department had been evacuated. I was scared for my friends. Made the boyfriend drag a mattress into the TV room because I wanted to watch coverage overnight but didn’t wanna be alone. This day is always weird for me because I lived it so differently than folks in the US I think. The post ends with # the world turned upside down, which is a reference to the musical “Hamilton”

Final of four posts in a Twitter thread from September 11, 2019 that reads: I was 24. I knew instantly we were going to war. I knew it was probably going to be in the region I was in, South Asia. It was my job to know. But that didn’t make it any less surreal.

Where we are as a country 🇺🇸 I was so excited to get this @weratedogs.com sticker and put it on my car… and then I wondered if ICE would be more likely to pull over my husband with a Spanish-language sticker on the car 😭🤯😳😡 #murica

Photo of a sticker saying “salúdame a tu perro,” which means “tell your dog I said hi” in Spanish

My husband has repeatedly told me that he hopes to be reincarnated as my dog in some future life... BC supposedly the boys are spoiled or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

A large short-haired black dog looks like he's sitting on a smaller, long-haired red and white dog. The big black dog is actually on a pillow behind the smaller dog. Both are on a couch near a window and are looking directly at the camera

Happy 4th #gotchaday to our goofball 65-lb lapdog who aggressively gives kisses, is afraid of everything including at times his own shadow, and needs to be solar charged at least an hour a day #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #sunbathing

A large black dog sits in the yard on a sunny day. Looking intently at the camera. With green grass behind him and a yellow patio visible in the background as well.

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet Nothing makes this dog happier than goose poop 🤦🏻‍♀️

A red and white dog is sitting in a field of green grass. Part of his face is completely covered by bright green goose poop. The dog is sticking his tongue out and looks very happy about the poop on his face

Happy national #puppyday 🐶 I never got to see either of these mutts as puppies, but that doesn't make me love the goobers any less (@naridoggy on IG) #adoptdontshop #dogs

Two dogs snuggle together, both looking out an open window into a back yard. On the left is a muscular short-haired black dog with a thick turquoise collar that has the name Calu in white letters. On the right is a very fluffy smaller (but not small) red and white dog with his ears perked up. A patio and shed are visible in the background

My best friend came home with us 10 years ago today 😍 Happy #GotchaDay Nari 🐕 #adoptdontshop #Adoptaversary

A senior rescue dog -- mostly red but with white on his belly, paws, and especially around his face -- sits on a fluffy dog bed. He's looking soulfully into the camera.

Finally! The Andor team is free to talk about how the show speaks to fascism in the US in 2026 www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

The director of the Star Wars show Andor answers the following question about fascism: You were inspired by history books, including the use of pretext?

Yeah, it’s the same shit all the time. Get rid of truth, get rid of a free press, destroy communities, nationalize the businesses, find an arbitrary enemy that you can elevate and false flag them through propaganda. Flood the zone with as much gak and atrocity as you can so that nobody can pay attention to what just happened, and pray that you have an overwhelming majority of sheep that will follow you. It’s just tragically and sadly familiar. It’s on them; it’s not on us.

Today in 🦇💩 news Shot: 👇 Chaser: bsky.app/profile/donm...

An excerpt from the article that says: "But if they missed the fact that I was an anti-ICE journalist who didn’t fill out her paperwork, what else might they be missing? How many convicted domestic abusers are being given guns and sent into other people’s homes? How many people with ties to white supremacist organizations are indiscriminately targeting minorities on principle, regardless of immigration status? How many rapists and pedophiles are working in ICE detention centers with direct and unsupervised access to a population that will be neither believed nor missed? How are we to trust ICE’s allegedly thorough investigations of the people they detain and deport when they can’t even keep their HR paperwork straight?"

For #seniorpupsaturday please enjoy this video of my 14-year-old rescue soul dog in his buggy since his arthritis has gotten too bad for long walks. But he still wants to go with the family on weekend mornings for coffee @weratedogs.com

Happy National Dog Day to everyone but the fucking fascists. They don't deserve dogs #nationaldogday #adoptdontshop

Two dogs lie on a couch next to a window. In the front is a red and white, long-haired, distinguished old gentleman. Just behind him, his younger, short black-haired little brother is using the senior pup as a pillow.

A. Hydration queen. B. I can't set up a sprinkler for this #dufus. He loves it SO much that he... runs on top of it? Runs into it? Pushes it over? Tries to destroy it? All of the above within 90 seconds? #adoptdontshop

Not gonna lie: rather proud of my two-sided sign 🪧 Doggie pic on one side is what my pupper (IG: Naridoggy) wore at a protest in 2018 after the Parkland shooting #handsoff

Protest sign that reads: Dogs yes DOGE hell no

Protest sign that reads: how frail the orange ego

Most folks I know here are academics. But hubs works in agricultural commodities. Inherently international business. We don't produce bananas or coffee, for example. And we produce far more of some foodstuffs than we would ever need www.fb.org/market-intel... ICYMI this just happened #ExportTariffs

One of my favorite quotes from a TV show: "If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you."

A group of people from the TV show sports night are looking at a TV. Superimposed over them is the quote from the show: If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you
