i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

No big deal, just a tiny dog and a giant dog snuggling a little bit.

Just 4.5 days to sell at least 14 framed pieces (or the equivalent) to have rent. I need to pause on saving for car work, as having a home is more important (especially w/o a car). LOTS of specials in the feed & new paintings! Thank you for looking/sharing! The boys also say thank you.

I'm sorry, but if you don't bring a cute dog - or any damn pet at all - to a job interview,
you're disqualified. It's not hard, people.

For some reason this thoughtful paragraph by Ian Bogost makes me think about A.I.

Optimization is terrific if you want to get somewhere else in the future. But it's terrible for being where you actually are right now. When goals overtake experience, you lose the freedom to encounter your lfe as it happens. And when you lose tha ability, you are no longer living in full. We used to optimize work so we could do everything else. Now we optimize life as though living were another job. Too many of us seem to be maxxing our way out of the experiences and perspectives that give us maximum meaning.

Barking news: Thieves broke into the animal shelter and stole all of the puppies. These brazen criminals—who include a bear, a flamingo, a lobster, a shark, a bumblebee, a penguin and a lumberjack—have taken command of the shelter. Please come get them so this madness can end. sbhumane.org/adopt.

Actually, we are not allowed to leave the house, even to go to the grocery store.

i didn’t want to share this until they left the country… we adopted fluffy from my daughter’s high school friend whose dad decided it was best that his family return to venezuela rather than risk being kidnapped and placed in an ICE concentration camp. fuck ICE and everyone who stands with them.

Fortunately we got in a walk for Poppy during a brief less smoky period this morning, but for most of the day the air quality has been terrible throughout the East Bay. Not sure why a prescribed burn was scheduled for a hot day, again. 😷🥵

The prescribed burn on Angel Island happened again today, and supposedly ended at 2:15. But the smell is lingering over the East Bay, due to almost no winds. Somebody open the Bay window!

Once again, a controlled burn on Angel Island created extremely dangerous air quality in Richmond. We did not agree to trade our lungs for this. Either they aren’t really experts or there’s actually no way to burn there without us paying for it. @calfire.bsky.social @richmondside.org

The fence has been working well so far, in the sense that Poppy is not able to go over or around it. On the other hand, my lovely ADHD housemates are not remembering to close the gate...
