(Second) chance. Dogs definitely smile. And they smile beautifully, probably because it reflects who they are on the inside. Thanks for bringing that out in Chance.

Look at those eyes -- now full of hope. Noodles is the perfect name.

I had thought those bandanas were the best accessory, but I guess I was wrong.

I'm sure it wasn't easy to write that one. And feel that one. No doubt it would be wonderful to have a life without responsibility. But you and Happy Doggo show us everyday that there's nothing like being responsible for someone else's care and dignity. Especially if that someone is a dog.

This guy is cool in the most important and perhaps the only way a guy like him can be cool- by not giving a single shit whether other people think he's cool

The journey from rock bottom is upwards, in small steps, with stops and starts. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Time is important but feeling love is critical. The moment we feel the most empty, is the moment that we feel and need kindness the most. You did that for Britney.

We are delighted to partner with @eosa.bsky.social and #RISEResearchInstitutesofSweden to support the @unodet.bsky.social with facilitation and curation of the program for the Friday community side event of #UNOpenSourceWeek.

We wish all #CURIOSS members speaking at the event the best of luck!

Many thanks to @duaneobrien.bsky.social and #CURIOSS members, Tom Hughes and @lauralangdon.io for sharing their knowledge and great practices.

Big T must have loved that T-bone steak (ok, maybe it wasn't a T-bone, but that's beside the point). Little bark, big heart. And now with big heart people.

How could anyone look at those faces and think “I’m going to poison you”?!? Thank you Niall for setting them on the path of happiness.

You can see how the sadness has transformed into the twinkle in his beautiful eyes.

Is there anything more wonderful than a belly rub for a dog? 5 weeks, and lots of love from Niall and Hank.

Tina would be so happy. It makes me believe it when you say there are more kind people than not.

World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

Mom's tail is already wagging. She can sense that she's now among others who love her puppies and her.

I’m a little shy about posting this, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to express my love and support for the humanities and the university press community — especially at this critical moment in time. And, thank you to my friend Lauren for being an amazing host.

A journey of a thousand miles (well closer to six thousand miles between Thailand and England) began with a single step. And lots of love and support. Safe travels and happy gardening Matilda.

Such beautiful eyes, with hope in them for perhaps the first time in her life. Thank you Niall.

I know how Mr Panda survived. Because you and Pi Lek loved, encouraged, supported and believed in him.

What a transformation! She can’t stop smiling.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
