Watching Pillion and... ffs... I had such high hopes... :-/ Really hoping it'll turn around!

New basket type unlocked. It'll go in the kitchen. Questiin is: should I stain it or leave it as is? 🤔 I'm leaning toward staining it...

Today's edition of "Anything to avoid even slightly inconveniencing our furry family members": I dumped the laundry on the couch for folding. It started raining and she came in. She just stood there, staring at her spot and me, back and forth, until I moved the laundry... 😅

Fluffy grey dog, Thyra, curled up on the couch and giving me (behind the camera) an "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed" look. Right next to her is a mounta8n of laundry in need of folding.

Honestly, I know why our weather is what it is, but it still boggles my mind that we're as far North as Newfoundland and Novosibirsk and yet I haven't seen proper snow in years!

Didn't feel the best earlier. Bought some plants about it. Downright medicinal!

Three small houseplants in ceramic pots. A struggling fern (who doesn't love a fixer upper, right?), a dracaena fragrans, and one that has pointed oval leaves with shiny stripes, but I don't know what it's called

Time for my traditional Boxing day post I think 👍

A decorative plate showing a traditional fox-hunting scene with riders (cunts) on horseback and hounds, overlaid with large bold text that reads an offensive anti-hunting slogan containing profanity (If you hunt, you’re a cunt)

If you were expecting a Christmas card from me, it's nothing personal. I sent them (and before the deadline, too!), but it looks like none actually made it (yet). 🤷🏼

I know it's Christmas Eve, but an Ontario animal sanctuary (pet pigs, horses, etc) just had their water tank system fail. It's going to cost over $3000 to fix it, and it's an emergency situation (the animals have to have water). Please donate/share if you can: www.ralphysretreat.ca

They didn't have the size I ordered, so they sent me a bigger one and I get to enjoy a humongous tree this year! 💜 Happy Christmas! 🎄💜

Rough night plus day before Christmas makes for a rough therapy session. I'm going to go stuff my face with party food now and then have a nap. Or maybe just go to bed. 😴😴

What a total disgrace that Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and, above all, Sinn Féin voted this down. Very few want this terribly cruel colonial sport, which sees hordes of horses, riders, and dogs rampage across the countryside. The wishes of the majority were ignored. Again. share.google/GFZMEYpIfSe0...

Good morning from Her Ladyship! 💜💜

Fluffy grey dog, sitting adorably in the sunshine, in front of a football field. Her tongue is out, her legs look disproportionately skinny, because they're less furry and wet, so she's giving the overall impression of a very cute cotton ball on sticks.
Still majestic as all hell, though!

Same dog, same place, now she looks up in anticipation (of a treat I'm holding off camera).
So much floof. Seriously!

Same again, now looking down, elegant with the sun catching one side of her floofiness.

Mortifying trying to promote work at this time of year, but unfortunately it's still necessary to make a living from drawing due to a significant delay in successfully wooing a wealthy Kerry farmer and being whisked off in his John Deere to a life of diamond-encrusted wellies

So... today's big question is: Is this the "exercise will make it better" or the "exercise will make it worse" kind of pain? It's not often that I haven't a clue, so I guess I'll give it a go and see what happens? 🤷🏼

Even if you don’t care about sex workers losing one of the few voices in public life that spoke for instead of over them, you should 100% care that they were refused funding for not toeing the line of the parties in government. Imagine if IFPA were unfunded until FFG changed their minds on abortion

Under the guise of 'speeding the delivery of essential infrastructure', the government is going to basically remove the option of taking judicial reviews. Very often, this is the only legal route communities have to defend local ecosystems against being destroyed. share.google/0844XAjcdexK...
