Man, Zenni's customer service ain't it.

At the end of the day, it's important to remember that your service dog is still a *dog* and have needs that should be fulfilled as well. #servicedog #dogsofbluesky #germanwirehairedpointer

Me, terrified of even accidentally dropping Hudson's leash even though I've fallen walking him and I know he won't leave me.
Hudson's trainer sending me this pic and my heart skipping a beat.

The #BritishBookAward for Freedom to Publish (in association with Index on Censorship) goes to Margaret Atwood ✒️
Long championing reading as an act of resistance, she has used her voice and platform to campaign for a fairer world and promote free speech, which has never felt more necessary.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

I work in the field and can attest to the truth of this.
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Barnard 68…The dark hole in the Space
It is not actually a hole but a molecular cloud that is so dark no light can pierce through it, leaving the stars and galaxies behind it invisible from our view.

OTD 2 years ago in OK, I chased the most incredible storm of my life. I documented 8 tornadoes, including two sets of twins and the widest tornado I've seen (1.3 miles). The structure and lightning was unlike anything I had seen. It was a true behemoth of the plains. Real time clip:

When Hudson heads dump trucks or garbage trucks, he doesn't shiver, bark, or growl. He just runs over to me and leans against me while he listens. Look at that face. #dogsofbluesky

I love that I can do the right thing for my dogs simply by sitting outside before work in the mornings/evenings. They feel free to run around like mad until they're ready to fall over and start snoring, and I get to chill.
