The shittiest month of my life. 2 of my 4 dogs died within 2 weeks of each other. Attacked by a pack of neighbor's dogs, so 1 other was lost and ran over (we found her, she's fine). Ghosted by the person I love the most. Not one single submission sent. Life feels like a never-ending night.

British lawmakers are scheduled to vote Friday on whether to legalize assisted dying for the terminally ill. The proposed bill would be a landmark piece of legislation in England and Wales, where the law treated attempted suicide as a crime until 1961.

Hoping for a miracle. So yesterday, the vet came to put my baby to sleep, and he thinks we can give her another chance! Seven days on antibiotics, cannabis, and chicken broth! Please keep your fingers crossed.

Today, the baby that came to me at one week old, whom I bottle-fed, wiped her little ass and kissed her mud-covered nose for 14 years, will cross the 🌈. She told she she is tired 😪 The one on the right.

Apparently there’s a growing meme subfield obsessed with chronicling the Trump-Musk relationship and how hilariously toxic it is. The upshot is that Trump was fed up with Musk and fully done with him like days ago but feels stuck with him forever due to Elon buying the election for him. Funny stuff.

...Labarca had never been more than one dusty road along which houses crouched like brooding hens in a coop. Winter moisture stamped mildew patterns on the lime-painted walls, and steamy summers battered the rotting timber into networks of cracks...

Just for the fun of posting something positive - the Galapagos turtles actually try to communicate with people! I know this one (nearly a 100 years old) did.
