Boy-o always comes home from daycare + training wrecked like a frat boy on Rush Night...
A red haired Standard Poodle puppy standing on a gray mat on the floor, looking up at the camera from about six feet away. He is very fluffy.
A red haired Standard Poodle puppy, side profile, standing on concrete with a board fence behind him, looking away from the camera. From his body profile, you can tell he is very fluffy.
I love bath night...
When he is restored to all his sweet smelling, poofty, Hollywood hair glory.

Pretty much literally my doctor at my last visit...
Cover of the book "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism" by Tim Alberta. The black outline drawing of a church painted like the US flag, backlit against a dark gray sky and black hills on each side.
A good read....or listen if you prefer audio books.

Texas banning judges from performing same sex marriage...
So a bunch of us go online and become ordained to perform weddings just so we make sure our LGBTQIA+ friends can get married...
Dear Greg...
*bit
Then let me say this and I hope they are listening....
Trump is converting ICE and the National Guard into his own Sturmabteilung.
Feel free to Google the term. I'm not spoon feeding it to you as you need to have some investment in that but of your education. Maybe it will stick then.
Apricot colored Standard Poodle puppy with medium length, shaggy, hair but shaved face, wearing a black mask and a black cape with purple stars on it against a purple background, criss-crossed by yellow caution tape with "Do Not Enter!" printed on it on red letters, and black letters hung on a string above him which spell out "Halloween". The puppy has an indignant, judgy look on his face.
Yesterday was Halloween photos day at my Standard Poodle puppy's training school....
I'm*ded* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol! He gets so excited each time his fresh @doggielawn.bsky.social refill arrives. It is his little Happy Place spot.
My bonus mom is awesome 🥰
My UK friend: Maybe America *would* like a king....
Me: Confidently....no. Like, we had an entire war over this exact topic, bruh. It was a resounding 'No...and fuck off.'"
Screenshot of the Conclusion part of the order by US District Judge, Charles R. Breyer, ordering Trump to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Newsome, enjoining Trump from deploying members of the California National Guard to Los Angeles, ordering Plaintiffs to post a nominal bond of $100 (unclear why) within 24 hours, and ordering Defendants to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued - setting a hearing date for such cause and laying out deadlines for each side to file their paperwork for such cause.
• US District Judge has ruled Trump's federalization of the California National Guard illegal & unconstitutional, & has ordered control returned to the state.
• Order is stayed until noon tomorrow before taking effect.
• Expect appeals - because of course the asshole will.

Screenshot of text which reads as follows: Quick note for those who may not know. This is the Greater Los Angeles metro area. That red circle you see on the right is where the protests are happening. To give you an idea on how much of Los Angeles is "on fire" versus not. This is all propaganda and a clout grab by Trump. There’s maybe 3 blocks of protest, an occasional rock thrown by an idiot (at full riot gear clad cops) but otherwise it’s not violent, it’s as fuckin far from a “riot” as possible and is at worst an inconvenience for folks who live/work in DTLA around City Hall. Also, the people being grabbed by ICE are not cartel members nor violent criminals, they’re hauling off impoverished Home Depot day laborers. If you’re sitting in a flyover state or the swamps of Florida, you don’t know shit. Stop parroting what Fox News and “your own research” of unverified Twitter videos tells you.
Map of Los Angeles. On the far right side of the map, approximately midway between the top and the bottom of the graphic is a small red circle. This small red circle is where the entirety of the protests are taking place.

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.
I spent the afternoon countering my neighbor playing Christian Rock at full volume by playing Pagan ballads by Damh The Bard at full volume....
There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.
This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
8/8 Dynamite emoji Bottom Line: This bill endangers the lives, health, independence, and dignity of disabled Americans. It’s not a budgeting exercise—it’s an ideological assault that: • Strips vital services • Devalues non-normative bodies and minds • Enshrines productivity as a moral prerequisite for existence For disabled people, H.R. 1 is not just bad policy—it’s existential. It puts lives at risk and rolls back decades of hard-won civil rights and disability justice advances.
7/8 6. Threatens SSI/SSDI Recipients Indirectly • What it doesn’t do (yet): Directly cut SSDI or SSI—but creates a framework where such cuts are ideologically justified. • Why it’s dangerous: a. The emphasis on “makers vs. takers” sets up a future where disability benefits are the next target. b. With enough political momentum, this bill could pave the way for dismantling Social Security disability programs under the guise of “efficiency” or “fraud prevention.” • Severity (long-term): Four flame emojis It’s a warning shot.
6/8 5. Increased Power for States to Restrict Access • What it does: Shifts responsibility for welfare programs more heavily to state governments. • Why it’s dangerous: a. Disabled rights vary drastically by state. This bill would widen the disability civil rights gap. b. Some states may create bureaucratic or ideological barriers (like “drug testing” for benefits or harsh eligibility reviews). • Severity: Three flame emojis It creates a patchwork of survival, where your zip code determines if you live with dignity or die in a ditch.
5/8 4. No Investment in Accessible Housing, Transportation, or Workforce Inclusion • What it does: Prioritizes tax cuts and military spending while ignoring housing, transit, or workforce accessibility reforms. • Why it’s dangerous: a. This represents a massive opportunity cost for real inclusion. b. Disabled people remain disproportionately unemployed, unhoused, or institutionalized due to systemic inaccessibility. c. Failing to fund these areas entrenches exclusion and poverty. • Severity: Two Flame Emojis It’s not just what the bill does—it’s what it refuses to do that’s damaging.
4/8 3. Undermining of Social Safety Net Philosophy • What it does: Frames all government support as conditional, earned, and transactional. • Why it’s dangerous: a. Disability often makes consistent employment or independence impossible. b. A shift in cultural and legal framing—from care as a right to care as a reward—dehumanizes disabled individuals and undermines disability justice principles. c. Encourages public hostility toward people on benefits, fueling stigma, harassment, and isolation. • Severity: Three flame emojis This accelerates a long-term erosion of disabled people’s social standing and public support.
