PUPPY BREAK
A small caramel colored dog with floppy ears looks up at you. He is wearing a black harness. His pink tongue is out, his expression one of good-natured interest.

A tweet by Josh RR Jokien, reading: "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "lmao" said Gandalf, "well it has."

Cooper is a very good boy and promises he is NOT a freak (until the zoomies start, then all bets are off)

UGH TODAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS. Fortunately, I have an iron-clad excuse for leaving early!
A small tan puppy is sleeping on the floor with his head against the base of a lamp. There's no way this position is comfortable but who am I to judge.

Me toooooo. At least my company is cute.
A small brown dog having a nap on the floor. His head is against a lamp base. It is unclear how this could be comfortable but he has a perfectly good dog bed three feet away so this must somehow be preferable.

You said "brown bread" and I immediately thought of The Great Dane in Madison, whose brown bread is MAGICAL. You didn't mention veggies, and this is on cheese bread instead, but it still sounds really good and I'm sure it would work on pumpernickel too.

A screenshot from the San Antonio Current, showing Robert F Kennedy Jr and Greg Abbott at a press conference. The headline reads "RFK Jr plays fast and lose with autism statistics during rambling press conference with Texas governor." The post text reads "Kennedy, who arrived 30 minutes late, said today's youth suffer from obvious 'mitochondrial deficiencies.'"

I didn't cheat I swear he's just RIDICULOUSLY photogenic
A smol puppy dog is looking up at you. He is lying on a dog bed because being a puppy is exhausting. His coat is a light red sable

Maybe I would write more if I had a judgemental orange cat. Unfortunately, this grumpy old man passed out of my life back in 2016.

Please accept this cat. He was purring as I took this.

I will take this advice to heart! I did have a friend give me a very deep blue lip color and having tried it on, decided that I was in for a pound...

There is a lot of darkness on the skyline today. Here, have a cat.

This parasite in particular.
The cover of the book The Host by Stephanie Meyers. A very close-up picture of a nose and an eye. The eye has fairly distinct eyeliner, and the border between the iris and pupil is a glowing ring.

LET'S F***ING GOOOOO

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility, y'all.

I'll be honest -- being a trans person in Texas is kind of scary right now.

And also ... it feels important to be visible for my trans, queer and gender expansive students. Existence is resistance. Things get better, but only if we make them better.

Via mastodon.online/@nikitonsky/..., replace semantic versioning with pride versioning.
In large text, "2.7.123". The 2 is annotated "Proud version - bump when you are proud of the release." The 7 is annotated "Default version - just normal or okay releases." The 123 is annotated "Shame version - bump when fixing things to embarrassing to admit."

The colleague who shares my lab space has a copy! Right next to this one, which maybe you might also find useful?

A small mackerel tabby cat snoozing in the sunshine. She does not know anything about politics and is an example for us all.

This cute mackerel tabby has been hanging around my porch -- today she took a sunny snooze.
