Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Bark louder, little dog.

In my day, never was longer.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The willow is too close to the house.

Everybody saw this coming.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Republicans do not pay their debts.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Tick tock motherfuckers!

This really is a full service blog.

Fight them, without becoming them!

This is a picture of Murphy I took in 2017 while visiting.  I knew him from the time he was a puppy, in 2006.  My sister and brother-in-law had to put him down yesterday.  A really good, sweet dog.

    It’s hard when they leave, even when a good, happy and long life was achieved.

    Now is the time to grieve and in a few months an opportunity will come along to fall in love again and give a new soul another good life.

    Blessings to you and your family, Sherparick

    The animals in our lives — they love us, and we get to love them back. Rest in peace, Murphy. You were a good dog.

    @CorgiMum: 18 years is a great run for a dog, making it all the more poignant when it’s time to go. May her (?) memory be a blessing.

    We had to send the tiny but fierce Empress of the Known Universe over the rainbow bridge right after Thanksgiving, and we still miss her like crazy. ? As soon as our remodeling project is over in a couple of months, we hope to find a new kitty to love and help re-balance our Cat Town. (H/t Werebear for the name of our autonomous collective.)

    We lost one last year and are currently on hospice with another. It’s painful, but helps to share. Thanks for the beautiful photo.

    I miss Alain, and I’m so grateful for On the Road as well as these very poignant posts and the tears that spring free in respect for the lives of good dogs and wee moggies.

    Our last loss was a smaller (for us) pup we adopted from our Vet Clinic, a golden mix one of their clients rescued from a backyard chain late one night in a brave and compassionate action. She spent 9 months at the Vet clinic kennel recovering from wounds, parasite infections including a bad case of heartworms..

    We always wait a few days, at least, before trying to pick a name, but this puppy was named Happy nearly as soon as she hit the dirt at our house. Was Happy all her life, until one afternoon she seems listless.

    So I took her to the vet, and they put her on an iv for fluids as she was dehydrated, and later after out clinic closed for the weekend, I took her on to the ER nights and weekends clinic, where they diagnosed her with an abdominal tumor which was bleeding. Such a short time we get to love on our furry babies.

    They were quite compassionate, and very professional, not too busy, so I got to spend quite a while holding her and loving on her.

    Thanks so much for the drawing, Raven, it helps me a lot when these things happen. They do know how much we love them and care for them. And big white dog Alice walks over to cop some pets. She’s finally losing a little weight, now that the bambi bits in the woods season is ending.

    I miss Alain too.

    ETA: Thank you Watergirl for continuing Alain’s On the Road series, and keeping his memory attached to it. Really, Alice wanted a biscuit, but pets were good too.
