gonzo18.bsky.social @gonzo18.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Don't let the dog reactivity scare you off. There are resources out there that can help. She may not ever love other dogs but it's possible to acclimate her so she's easier to handle and less anxious. I had a reactive dog and he was a very good boy. They just take a bit more patience/work. 020

gonzo18.bsky.social @gonzo18.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Fair point about other slurs. My intent certainly wasn't malicious and I'm sorry if seeing it used, even in this context, was hurtful to you or others. 030
gonzo18.bsky.social @gonzo18.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I debated using it in the post. Honest question: would it have been preferable to put an asterisk or something instead of fully spelling it out?

gonzo18.bsky.social @gonzo18.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That quote didn't come across as very devastating in real time, Jackson didn't really drive it home, but it strikes me as the kind of moment folks are going to point to if/when Jackson wins.

gonzo18.bsky.social @gonzo18.bsky.social · 07/10/202615 years ago I was an intern and one day I and the other interns were chatting and I referred to someone as a "tranny."

gonzo18.bsky.social @gonzo18.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The idea that Emanuel, a notorious prick with no electoral juice at all, is a compelling enough candidate for any news stories really shows how utterly useless our media is.
