I found a box of my book THE MONSTER UNDER THE BED: SEX, #DEPRESSION, AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE AREN'T HAVING in storage so I'm having a FLASH SALE! Signed copies are $17 with FREE SHIPPING!

Sadly I can only extend this offer to residents of the continental U.S..

In positive news, if you’ve been keeping up with the saga of how my dog’s back legs just stopped working two weeks ago, this morning he went for his first real walk since that happened. This is what he looked like.

I’m not crying.

You’re crying.

Shut up.

For the unfamiliar, this is what my dog #GroverTheBean looks like

Dammit! The fact that someone awful ruined my favorite social media platform should not mean that the world forgets that time I was described as @brenebrown93.bsky.social -esque!

Which I know EVERYONE (and not just me) totally remembers happening

Spare a thought for me and my little guy #GroverTheBean today. We have a vet appointment that may just be about better pain management, but could possibly be a lot more dire. This little dog is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me and everything about this is kind of torturous.

This feels like a good moment to remind folks of the time Dame made this limited edition dildo and all the proceeds went to the National Network of Abortion Funds. I would never use it but I find owning it amusing.

I recently binged #SomebodySomewhere (lovely and I highly recommend it) and I reconnected with my bff @theellechase.bsky.social in person. All of this inspired me to dig out this old picture of the two of us in our #BridgetEverett “What I gotta do to get that dick in my mouth?” shirts.

In my quest to use my social media to make at least one person smile every day I would like to show you folks the #crochet project. I’ve been working on since some time around Labor Day. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift. Clearly that failed, but I’m still going. 🧶 #muppets

My brain is struggling so hard with the opposing ideas of “a good dog owner walks their dog” and “it’s not really safe to walk my sweet little 18 pound dog when it feels like it’s 9° outside”

Can somebody please assure me that I am giving this 15 year old canine a good life?

Shoutout to my sweet little dog #GroverTheBean who I LOVE so much but who has bean 3/4/5AM ensuring I never get more than maybe 6 hours of sleep. Last night this little dude let me sleep for almost eight hours!

He’s 15 and worth losing sleep over but also my brain needs the rest.
