Just beautiful

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

Nikai's howl gives us chills - the good kind 🐺

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac!

I love listening to the chickadee sing. Love watching them flit around the yard

It didn't take long for our new Director of National Intelligence to start spouting Russian propaganda. What a shameful lie.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Pass it on.

All must “bloom where they are planted”

Not everyone has the ability/availability to do the big big things, but all can do little things right where they are

Never think your effort or contribution is too small

Do the best you can

Give as much as you can

be active

talk to everyone

Then repeat

a black and tan dachshund puppy stands in front of a blanket pile and looks at the camera. his long ears hang down lower than his chin, and they’re fanned backwards slightly so you can see their tan interiors and little black tips. his right ear covers up most of his long sausage body so you can just make out his black rump and little tan back paw. his tan eyebrow dots are raised slightly and he’s looking at you with a stoic, closed-mouth defiant expression.

This is Ralph. His body composition is approximately 40% ear. But that does not mean he wants to listen to your podcast. 12/10 (IG: ralph_kd0821)

I'm so sorry for your loss. It hurts, so very much. Hugs.

Cutie!

a chocolate lab puppy does his best impression of sitting in a grassy lawn. his butt is down, but his hind legs are extended fully out in front. one of his front paws is standing on his tail. his chubby pink puppy tummy paunches out in a few wrinkles. his eyebrows are raised in concern over his grayish eyes. in the background, and elder statesman yellow lab looks on with mild disapproval.

This is Breuer. He's still figuring out how to sit. Wants to know what you think of his plop in the meantime. 12/10 (IG: chase.n.breu.labradors)

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Please read this thread, from Jon.

The unraveling is happening with shocking speed.

a brown and white italian greyhound is sitting upright while being held in the crook of a person’s arm. both human and dog are wearing layers: the person in a cream colored shirt, white zip up, olive green jacket and gray scarf, while the dog has on a fleece onesie and four polka dot leg warmers. the pup’s ears are tucked into the turtleneck collar of his fleecy jimjams and his expression can only be described as plaintive.

This is Zuko. He has decided he's done with winter. If anyone can expedite the arrival of summer, he'd really appreciate it. 12/10

A world without howls is a world without happiness 🐺

The rest of the class has to stand up against him. Bullies are cowards at heart.

MAGA morality: Put thousands of federal employees on leave, cut aid that sustains countless lives, demonize your opponents, and then enjoy the suffering of your enemies.

But then - when one DOGE worker is fired for vicious racism -say, "Where's the grace and mercy in this country?"

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

No mystery what we're seeing here:
-Illegally withholding spending/nullifying contracts
-Purges of law enforcement and prosecutors
-Taking bribes for lenient treatment while threatening enemies with persecution
-Pardoning violent/paramilitary allies
-Granting vast powers to an unelected billionaire

Think about this.. for a second. Doesn't take you much time to get it!
Them? Eons.😉
