This book is about the administration of harassment complaints on campuses, our ideas about campus safety/security, sexual vulnerability and the institution. It's out of print so, with the publisher's permission, I am sharing a PDF. drive.google.com/file/d/1S5vE...

Shelby (13/yo whippet) is so mad at me for not letting her eat treats for dinner that instead of eating the meal options I set out for her she is passive aggressively nibbling on nonexistent crumbs on our living room floor

all dogs have their idiosyncrasies. Truvy, for example, will only eat her prescription wet food if she can carry a bite from the kitchen to white carpet, drop it, step in it, devour it, repeat.

life hack: our dog Truvy is on approximately 1 billion medications, all of which she takes well except for one. this morning, when she tried to spit it out, I said: don't think of this as me giving you medicine, think of this as crip mutual aid. quickest she's ever chewed that tablet!

trying to convince my partner that getting a whippet puppy would actually be a time-saving measure because then we could refer to our three whippets collectively as Rolaskatox instead of by their individual names.

The federal government should compensate the homosexual human parents of disabled whippets for their care labor and patient advocacy. Also Medicare for All should include pets.
