Everyone, please come see how handsomely my dog posed for me today. (Not pictured: 37 other photos almost exactly like these.)

A black dog with his floppy ear toward the camera sits on a blue chair to look out an offscreen window.

This song came up in the shuffle this morning. It remains one of my favorite song/video combinations, and not just because it makes me want to awkwardly and unselfconsciously white-girl dance out the end of the world through (what I assume is) Boston’s empty streets. youtu.be/Mc_wtqSSp5I

Dunno what kind of reach this will get, but does anyone have any recommendations for soft dog treats? My poor food-motivated elder pooch had a lot of teeth extracted yesterday and I don’t want to risk oral injuries. Dog tax included.

I've been representing protesters pro bono since Trump 1.0. In that time, I've represented protesters against the Muslim ban, ICE, trans bans, DEI bans, genocide in Occupied Palestine, police brutality, and more. Want to know why more people don't protest? Here's why.

I live between a major road and rail tracks. In extreme weather, both get unusually silent, which is simultaneously my favorite and the most surreal time to live between two active transportation avenues. But my new favorite happened today: watching someone snow-mobile their way down the highway.

If you’ve had a career where you keep getting unwanted responsibility heaped on you because other people routinely mistake your anxiety for ambition and it has burned you the fuck out, I heartily recommend returning to non-managerial roles.

Every day is heavy now but yesterday was Black Dog Day, which raises awareness of how black dogs are often overlooked in shelters. This saucy Aussie has been my favorite house wolf for almost 12 years, and being his second chance is the only motherhood I crave. (Even if Daddy is Favorite Parent.)
