Opal has gone in glory.
This is my last photo of her.

Four photos of little bee butts sticking out of flowers

The most viral post I've done in months is a link to a story about bees so clearly every post must now be about our little apian pals, here is a series of photos of bumble bee sploots

Opal and Milo on getting leashes wrapped around poles:
Opal - Oh, my mistake, here - let me just fix that.
Milo - What? Hell no, that's the direction that got me INTO this mess!

Beagle and Labrador sitting under a table waiting for food.

Milo is getting SO big

I learned yesterday Milo loves me more than FOOD.
I gave him a treat before going out yesterday, he put the treat down and tried to follow me out THREE TIMES.
When I got home, he picked up the treat that he didn't eat ALL DAY, AND SAT NEXT TO ME TO EAT IT 😭

Pupdate:
Milo has discovered wet lawn drifting and borking.

A young beagle-basset mix dog sits, very politely.

Someone dumped a ten month old puppy, left him tied to a car overnight. In other news, I now have 2 dogs.
Everyone say hello to Milo.

OPM is proposing a new rule that strips protections from federal workers for 'injecting politics' into their work. Please do what you can to oppose and spread the word while the comment period is still open. Some advice on how would be great.

When all else fails and you are left in the dark,
Hope is a Choice.
It may be the hardest decision you ever make, but it is *your choice*.

Speaking as an American - boycott everything from or in here. We need the world to vote with their wallet and anything else they have.

Since you didn't have a post up about your Outer Wilds video on Nebula yet:

Even though we will likely never meet, you are worthy of love and you are one of the people I keep in mind while we struggle against the dark here in the States.
When all else is falling apart, hope is a choice.
