This is Horus. He got a lot of attention on a recent flight in Mexico. Clearly the other passengers have never flown with someone so handsome. 14/10 we're told he was very well behaved (TT: denniabuendagalvn, paulinagtza_, cheetahbash, cristianjbetancourt)

Fuck cancer.

This is exactly what the internet is for.

Wolf 2405, born in Colorado under the voter-approved reintroduction, was killed in May. Now, ranchers want the entire Copper Creek Pack removed.

No decisions were made during Monday’s CPW Commission meeting, but the pressure to escalate lethal action continues.

This is Taco. He is the most relaxed little guy in the world. Mostly because he does not know about emails or the economy, but shoulder rubs help too. 13/10 (IG: tacofoxyhuahua)

Ch 69 - Regretting Aggression

There is an axiom of military strategy:
I prefer to be the guest rather than the host
I prefer to retreat a foot than advance an inch

This is acting without moving
Fighting without bearing one's arms
Advancing where there is no enemy
Grasping no weapon

a tiny white fluffy pomeranian is belly-up in a person’s lap. she looks a little nervous, and her front paws are being held in the person’s hands. all four paws have the teensiest little black toe beans, each one small and perfect. she’s got nothing to worry about.

This is Miso. She is reporting for her weekly paw inspection. All toe beans are accounted for and are as teeny tiny as ever. Inspection passed with flying colors. 12/10 (IG: lifewith_miso)

When you find your perfect partner in crime! 📸 Monty Sloan

a golden long-haired dachshund sits on white floors and looks up with large dark eyes. from this angle her head eclipses most of her body. she has an innocent pleading in her expression.

This is Boksil. She wanted to let you to know that she is free to hang out right now if you are. In case you were wondering. 12/10

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

“At least it can't get any worse”

Well done, you just set the universe a challenge it can't refuse.

Monday motivation:

It is what it is so get on with it.

a white sheet of paper hanging from a black clip against a blue wall. the paper is a worksheet with the words, "my dog is a..." with the instructions to circle one of the following words, "hero," "companion," or "worker." instead, the word "circle" has been circled in pencil, and the rest of the sheet reads, "because he is round" in crude handwriting. next to the explanation as to why the dog is a circle, is a drawing of a very rotund dog with a tiny tail and little feet. this is an A+ assignment if we've ever seen one.

This kid slightly misunderstood their homework assignment and we could not possibly love it more. 12/10

Therefore, the Sage says:
I do not make any fuss, and the people transform themselves.
I love quietude, and the people settle down in their regular grooves.
I do not engage myself in anything, and the people grow rich.
I have no desires, and the people return to Simplicity.

The sharper the weapons the people possess,
The greater confusion reigns in the realm.
The more clever and crafty the men,
The oftener strange things happen.
The more articulate the laws and
ordinances,
The more robbers and thieves arise.

57.
You govern a kingdom by normal rules;
You fight a war by exceptional moves;
But you win the world by letting alone.
How do I know that this is so?
By what is within me!
The more taboos and inhibitions there
are in the world,
The poorer the people become.

You’re dead on, here.

“Served” by marketing geniuses who have done nothing but tie them in knots, the mythical everyperson has become used to letting the world adjust to them.

I suspect (hope!) that this year will be a wake up call.

Drinking a little Schramsberg and realizing I’m not the target market for NYE shows, I suspect.

Good morning from @wolfdaily.bsky.social
