Light blue book cover with a dachshund, Lily and the Octopus. Steven Rowley.

#The52BookClub Prompt 42: Non-human antagonist. Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley. As someone with a 14+ dog with a heart murmur, 6 teeth left, going deaf & blind - idk if this was such a wise choice in books, but I think any dog owner will recognize the unhinged hatred of the octopus

Dappled black dachshund with both ears horizontal is in middle of street riding a bike in a front carrier

Took a 12 year old dachshund on her first bike ride. Spoiler alert: she loved it.

Latin Funk take on metal, so add a horn section

My other favorite is Brown Sabbath

oh is tourism down across the board in the united states, that’s crazy

our new slogan “we will throw you in a fucking prison camp” doesn’t seem to be gaining traction with the tourism sector

Govt. Website 'Glitch' Removes Trump's Least Favorite Part of Constitution Trump is trying to take over the Library of Congress, but its website already deleted a part of the Constitution that Trump officials don’t like.

The national library has apparently, by accident, modified its online copy of the U.S. Constitution to remove the president’s least favorite part.

Every time I witness the birds & bees enjoying my efforts to provide for them, it fills me with such satisfaction for the time & effort. (It took 2 years for the native honeysuckle to bloom & has really taken off this year)

Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

Damn the people still supporting a pedophile because he’s racist.

THE FOOLS!

Silly me thinking they would rig the jobs numbers in private when they’re apparently just gonna do it up front

I love my rain garden! Louisville is supposed to have a program that helps offset the cost, but unfortunately there’s nobody to manage it. 😕 I did it anyway, but the $100 would have been nice!

The hobbling. Skeleton Crew got passed around my bus in middle school & I’ve been hooked on SK ever since. Solana & I went to a reading he did in Portland at the Schnitz. It was everything you’d want from being in a room with him.

That book terrified me. There’s a particular scene where I kept holding the book further & further from my body, like that was going to protect me 🤣

Please share the information if you find it.

I “liked” it, but idk why you posted a blank photo. 😉

I'm sure I'm not the only GenXer who is tearing up at this. If you were there when it began, then you know why.

This is the 2nd time I’ve wanted to fight a priest. Just walk up and bop him in the face. Sometimes the glaring disrespect for women is just too much for me to bear. Can’t confess, I do not repent.

Was up WAY too late reading, but was really struck by the concept of hyper visibility through excess in subcultures. This was referencing Black & Latina groups, but this is something the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence do as well.

Yet the public only asks how much it will cost in regards to one of them...

Notice how many of these incidents have been between military & commercial aircraft? Two agencies led by grossly unqualified guys.

It’s almost as if deciding only white men can be in charge, regardless of their qualifications, wasn’t such a hot idea.

If you’re under the heat dome remember kids: you can’t hydrate your way out of Heat Exhaustion. Stay hydrated too, but get out of the sun if you start feeling dizzy, faint, nauseous, etc.

Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.

Can confirm. Grew up in the Pacific where our beef came from NZ & AUS. Moving stateside & getting US beef was a big disappointment.

As far as I’m concerned, the chicken are worth it just for the mosquito control. Usually I’m eaten alive in the garden - and I’m not even popular with mosquitoes. With the chickens getting “free range” time every day, I might see 1 or 2 mosquitoes A WEEK!

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

My stepdad convinced us early on that balloons were for inside. You don’t lose them. They’re great for little kids hand-eye coordination. #raisedbyteachers Balloons, large plastic ball, mushball, baseball - every kid, cousin, grandkid made the same progression. 😂
