Please, everyone.

Please show respect for the arts. Think carefully while reading, watching or listening to something creative. Often, there’s substance you won’t find unless you look for it.

I probably should have asked him if he needed help, but I’m just a delicate teddy bear and he’s an adult-sized human.

Hoping there was a happy ending to that harrowing story. The dog appeared to be having a great time.

Yesterday, someone was yelling, “SILLY PUPPY ALERT! SILLY PUPPY ALERT!” while walking a young dog who was trying to run in three directions at once.

I ran for my life, but in retrospect I’m wondering if that man was begging for assistance rather than issuing a public safety warning.

Fire by The Ohio Players.

My human was a teenager when that recording was released, and she always looked forward to the laugh.

No one will agree on the answer to this.

However…

Asking the question in the first place is a step in the right direction.

Lionel and I share a couch in our human’s apartment.

We have our differences, but we agree on so much, too.

“I have a theory.”

I’ve been told that a teddy bear can make a room go silent by saying that.

I’ll try that, but will have to follow it with something really interesting to prevent disappointment.

This business of being a teddy bear is not easy. So much planning involved.

Just kidding. I get as panicked as everyone else.

My wife asked me to put syrup on the shopping list.

Now she's mad cause it's sticky and I apparently can't “follow simple instructions”

Everybody needs three types of friends: one actual adult friend to give you good advice when you need it, one introvert friend who always just wants to watch movies in their pajamas, and then also a tight-knit gang of cantankerous yet clumsy raccoons for capers and hijinks

A shop assistant tried stopping an armed robber by attacking him with a labeling gun. Police are now looking for a man with a price on his head.

Because your system has been sensitized in certain ways due to the trauma you've experienced, doesn't mean you can't trust your perceptions, interpretations, or intuition.

It means you need to be realistic about your baseline-- without invalidating what you're experiencing.

The bird screaming obscenities turned out to be a former intern in a convincing parrot costume. Sorry about that.

In the building where my human lived until 2010, the shared clothes dryer stopped working. A technician resolved the problem by removing an unbelievable amount of lint. Just incredible!

The dryer likely was a fire hazard for months before that, but people didn’t know.

“Everything is going according to plan,” said the teddy bear who has never planned anything well in his entire life.

There’s a first time for everything, though.

UPDATE: He took out the composting AND the recycling. Good work, Norman!

Agreed. Nonthinking, aggressive people are permitted to impose on others. Respecting boundaries is treated as voluntary.

Humans need to adhere to teddy bear values, and stop being cruel.

San Francisco Will Cover Full SNAP Benefits for November Amid Federal Shutdown | KQED Mayor Daniel Lurie announced an $18 million public-private partnership for the roughly 112,000 San Francisco residents expected to miss next month’s federal food aid benefits.

I’m not yet sure of the details, but it looks as if SNAP recipients in San Francisco will be getting help. This is “breaking news,” so some details might be made available later.
