We all need something uplifting right now, especially in Sydney. Here is “an absolute bloody legend” (according to his owner, but I agree):

Thank you to everyone who loved him, and especially @alexh.bsky.social and Sebby and Asha, his family, @fidlerfm.bsky.social, Finn, Murphy, and Les, his other family, as his extended family: @jasonchin.bsky.social, the UC Davis and UniMelb labs, my mom, and everyone on the internet who loved him.

Dear fans of Hugo the dog, Hugo passed away peacefully on Monday, after a wonderful last few days doing his favorite things: road-tripping, going to the beach, and getting lots and lots of pats. He was full of love and goofiness until the end.

An older photo of Hugo, how he would want to be remembered - holding a slipper in his mouth.

We stopped at the giant ram on our roadtrip and Hugo insisted we take a picture.

Tomorrow I’m on a panel about pré-enregistrement, in French. I speak French to my mom and/or dad and/or brother every week, but somehow that has not prepared me for this situation. Help!

It’s Election Day in Australia!! I get to vote for the first time, and earn my democracy sausage. Polls were close a few weeks ago, but thanks to the Liberals’ (right wing) Trumpian positions and tactics, it looks likely that Labor (centre left) will hold on and Albo will stay our Prime Minister 🤞

So great to finally meet @chrisdc77 in person, after so many years. And of course I’m not at all surprised that he’s just as wonderful in person. My career path would look very different if it weren’t for Chris, and I know I’m not alone.

Hugo came with me to do some work at the marrickville library cafe and he mostly behaved himself except for hogging the water bowl and barking at the little girl who was eating something he thought he should be eating instead.
