Very important news everyone

This is Hudson. He is a strong, independent dog who boops his own snoot. 13/10 (IG: hudsonstaysgolden)

Cute light beige dog dressed as a Halloween ghost.

Even winning this year’s Halloween costume prize couldn’t ease Carol’s existential ennui. “Another October, another ghost, another shiny prize. Maybe a pig’s ear would cheer me. Ah nuts, who am I kidding.”

happy halloween!

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

Happy Halloween. I'm having anxiety already because I'm apparently one of the two people who decided to dress up for Halloween at my job even though there are signs everywhere encouraging that we dress up.

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores.

And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)

weratedogs v 1/5 BORDER PATROC ICE AGENTS KILL DOG DURING UNLAWFUL SEARCH, REFUSE TO RENDER AID, AND LEAVE WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES

weratedogs This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place. Do not open your door for these fucking losers.

Great turnout at #NoKings protest in Jefferson City despite the weather

London outside the US embassy: many citizens came to rally against tyranny. The frogs and dinosaurs are not missing.

[Exit King.]

MAGAts fear Barney because he's "woke." He sings about love. He's not on Epstein's list. Barney is rumored to be appearing at our No Kings rally in Jefferson City on Saturday...

I'm not a morning person, but I have to be at work by 8:30, so most of my morning is spent trying to wake up and stay awake. Today's weather isn't helping because it's dark and raining which I think is making me more tired.
I'm also hoping this doesn't affect the protests too much today.

This is Dumbo, Mela, Peaches, and Chiquis. They are a championship napping team. Their built-in sleep masks give them that competitive edge. 13/10 for all (TT: brokeboilopez)

Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

a picture from an old Clifford book. Clifford is much smaller than usual, implying he is baby. he is holding a brown paper bag in his mouth and is covered in a sheet with eye holes. it is obvious he is trick or treating. his tail has action lines around it, indicating he is rather excited for both the tricks and the treats

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week.

I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought?

Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌
