Everything sucks and I miss my dog.

I just love this and you so much! Thank you for being a fierce advocate.

a double rainbow directly over Chaz’s favorite spot

My back while I took in the message from Chaz (double rainbow)

Chaz must have known how much I needed a message from him because he’s been sending them all night

One of the last pictures of the best dog I’ve ever known. Chaz was a brown toy poodle with tan legs. He is wearing a ponytail because i was getting ready to cut a lock of his hair before his final goodbye. We are snuggled in a blanket that is black with dog images on it. He is looking at me with all the love a dog could have in his eyes

I forgot the alt text.

heart shaped cloud. We went to get a picture of it and I swear to god it morphed into his face. This is the actual cloud. I am in shock. He’s okay. He showed me in the best possible way.

Chaz crossed over the rainbow bridge this afternoon in my arms. I asked him to please give me a sign that he was okay. First I saw the first and only raspberry on plants that weren’t even close ready to bear yesterday. We would have called it a Chazberry. Then I looked up at the sky and there was a

I’m sorry that you all are dealing with this too 💔

Thanks Jordyn. I don’t think we ever get enough time with them. We made the decision and he will be crossing over this afternoon. So much grief

I don’t think anyone can actually explain how hard making end of life decisions for a senior pet is until you’ve been there. I thought I was prepared and knew what I wanted to do if the situation came up but now that I’m actually here living it I feel like I’m walking through jello. #SeniorPets

As they prepare for mass arrests in LA due to the ICE raid, a reminder that jails & prisons have notoriously bad air quality

Incarcerated people have been largely ignored through the COVID pandemic

Clean air in jails would go a long way towards reducing infection, yet almost no one talks about it

Survival is resistance.

Taking care of yourself is resistance.

Practicing community care is resistance.

Showing up for others is resistance.

Not all forms of resistance are flashy and obvious, but that doesn’t make them any less meaningful.

I love your comics so much. They always manage to encapsulate how I feel 😷🏳️‍🌈

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction really sucks. I know my friend is in there and it’s apparent on most days, but on the bad days i hope something in him knows that I’m not trying to torture him when I have to force him to take his meds or lay down and sleep 😭 #SeniorPets

So I don't want to use google because I don't like the capitalist enshittification of the search results, but DuckDuckGo also sucks and is deliberately misleading about data sharing practices. I don't care about data sharing so much as I don't like deliberately deceptive practices. Recommendations?

Capitalism is so fucking stupid we are literally setting the planet on fire and spending tons of money mitigating climate disasters and recovering from them because a couple oil capitalists decided we should all die for money 😀

Every day is a fresh hell

Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did Since Texas banned abortion, no one has studied the statewide effects on pregnant women experiencing complications. Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and…

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.

Here’s how we did our analysis.

Some critter is taking tiny bites out of my strawberries before they even ripen and then they fill with ants. I’ve had a strawberry patch for five years and this is the first year it’s happened to every single one. Gah! 😭 #Garden #Strawberries

Hi, @motherjones.com disabled disability reporter here, I really want to hear about how tariffs are impacting disabled, chronically ill, and aging folks. Reposts appreciated and my email is jmetraux@motherjones.com.

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan arrested by federal authorities at Courthouse Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.

Wow. A county circuit judge has been arrested. “Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested April 25 by federal authorities who are investigating whether she tried to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week, officials confirmed.”

Generative AI is melting our only planet.

Don’t use it.

ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google.

And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI.

This is not sustainable.

Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.

The only thing keeping my head barely ever so slightly above water and not slipping into the impending doom is that I can buy fun plants online and put them in my garden. Highly recommend getting some plants to obsess over when the doom is too much.

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time.

People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives.

Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run
