I have just discovered that you don’t have to wait for an appropriate occasion to dress your toddler up like a hot dog
A 13 month old baby is taking a wobbly step forward in a kitchen next to a refrigerator. She is wearing a costume intended to look like a hot dog with mustard.

Losing my mind over this passage from 1Q84
"Oh, man," Aomame sighed, pressing her temples. "What the hell was that all about?" "I'm sorry," Ayumi said. "It's not your fault. I should never have let myself get so drunk." "But really, Aomame, you were so sweet and clean down there. Like new." "Well, of course, I really am almost new down there." "You mean you don't use it all that often?" Aomame nodded. "That's exactly what I mean. So, tell me: are you interested in women?"

Love 🥰🥰🥰
A 12 month old baby with a dirty blonde pixie cut and black pajamas with white hearts sits in a rectangular dog bed. There is also a small black and white dog with floppy ears curled up in the bed. The dog is wearing a soft blue cone and a blue inflatable collar. The baby is holding the dog’s face gently between her hands and pressing her forehead against the dog’s forehead.

The before picture
A small green and white balance bike sits on a gray and white rug in the middle of a sitting area. Pink and yellow curled ribbons are tied to the handle bars, and a small black and white dog sits protectively in front of the bike.

I can’t believe this little treasure is already a year old

I would rather just hand the extra $150 million directly to the MTA and leave fare jumpers alone

Police do not keep us safe
Excerpt from the reskeeted article that reads: “The influx of officers corresponded to a 2% drop in what police call "major" crimes in the subway, including robbery, rape and murder. But the most marked effect of adding officers was a skyrocketing number of tickets and arrests for fare evasion. Police officials said they count that as a success.”

Having hot cider with bourbon but I don’t have a proper shot glass to measure the liquor

Guess who is getting a brand new tooth for her 10 month birthday (I was tipped off by the meltdown she had when she couldn’t peel the sticker off the shelf)

You can’t tell me this photo is not art
A nine month old baby with thick baby thighs and long dark blonde hair is sitting on the floor in a white onesie, chewing on a pink Kong dog toy. The shape of the Kong perfectly echoes the rolls of fat on her thighs.

We’ll see how long this works
An 8-month-old baby lies on her stomach facing away from the camera and toward a low baby gate that is preventing her from reaching a set of dog food and water dishes on the other side. She has one hand on the gate as if ready to yank on it.

I love watching this beautiful friendship develop 🥰
A small black and white dog wearing a pink bandana is looking intently from inches away at a six month old baby in a baby activity center who is eating a teething cracker A six month old baby wearing a onesie with whales on it has both her arms wrapped around the hindquarters of a small black and white dog while they are both lying on a reddish patterned blanket on a bed. The baby has her head back and is looking up at the camera upside down. The dog is lying on her side facing away from the baby and looks very relaxed.
