This is Octavia. She knows how beautiful she is.

#Photobucket has been threatening to delete my account for about two years now because I refuse to get a subscription. I am ignoring their increasingly desperate/threatening emails because I'm curious how long they're willing to send them before they make good on their threat.
A threatening email from Photobucket titled "We can't keep waiting for a response from you." The email gives me a choice to keep or delete my account. I am playing chicken with them to see how long they're willing to keep sending these emails.

Just got my first Onlyfans bot. I love that the person is supposedly too shy to approach me directly but they’re tagging five other people and advertising an OF account.
A reply to my account by a bot or spammer called @christelvanga149 with a link to an OnlyFans account, tagging several people.

The text doesn't say CONSECUTIVE days, right? I'm safe? 😬

A black-and-white still from The Enforcer (1951). Humphrey Bogart sits on the left behind a sturdy oak desk. He's wearing a white shirt with the collar and cuffs open, smoking a cigarette, the smoke pluming around his face. In front of him, in 3/4 profile and seen only in silhouette, is a man wearing a fedora and a suit jacket.

Apart from the slight colour variations, your home could be my home.
A brown and white Brittany Spaniel lies on a black ottoman with her face smooshed against a purple body pillow. Two brown and white Brittany Spaniels are lying on a beige sofa near a black ottoman. One is resting her head on a purple body pillow being used by a person just out of frame, one purple-clad leg just visible in the bottom right corner. A brown and white Brittany Spaniel is lying on a black ottoman with her head and one paw on a large purple body pillow, staring directly at the camera. Behind her, a tan and white chihuahua is glaring suspiciously at the camera. A brown and white Brittany Spaniel is lying head down and butt facing skyward on a sofa with a grey and white cover. A purple body pillow has fallen on top of her, leaving only her head and butt exposed. She regrets nothing.

I also have two Brits and a chihuahua.
Two orange and white Brittany Spaniels and a tan and white chihuahua are lying tucked up against each other in a row on a beige sofa with a grey and white sofa cover.

Here, have some good dogs as a brief respite from all of the horribleness.

Yep. This is what I see. Very weird.
A screenshot of a blocklist called "Anti-Social behavior." There is a message saying "This list is empty."

Dart frogs! They are indeed very cute. They’re called Bowser and Blue.
Two green and black dart frogs sit facing away from each other on a bed of brown leaf litter and mossy substrate.

Aw, what a sweet baby! She looks a tiny bit like my Juno.
A black and white cat with a black nose sits on a soft purple surface. She stares into the camera with large emerald green eyes.

This post was not about what you wrote, but I appreciated the coincidence a lot and thought I'd share it with you. 😄
A screenshot of two posts. The first, by Steve Boots, reads: "Researching for a piece on Chrystia Freeland this morning, and learning that her walkout music at her campaign launch was "Maneater" and I just...I can't..." Directly under it, the second, by Prisonculture, reads: "It's unserious and annoying."

I don’t post as many pictures of my cats because they are often out of the reach of dogs and therefore cameras, but they live here too! This is Libby. Technically she’s my roommate’s cat.
A long-haired tabby cat with white mittens is “sitting pretty” on a beige carpeted staircase landing. She looks dubious about life in general.

Here is a picture of my other dart frog, Blue, out hunting fruit flies.

Here is a picture of my dart frog Bowser chilling on a leaf. His only care in the world is staying cool and damp and eating fruit flies.
A green and black dart frog sits on a bright green leaf in what I imagine to be a contemplative yet contented pose.

The dogs were in one of their favourite spots this morning, from where they can survey most of the house.
Two brown and white dogs lie on beige carpeted stairs, watching something intently. Not pictured: the cat who is stubbornly staying on her cat tree instead of letting them chase her.

Anyway, good morning. Please accept this first picture of my dog Peggy pretending that she doesn’t have a functioning spine.
A medium-sized brown and white dog is sleeping on a beige sofa with a grey and white cover. She has her back legs up against the back of the sofa, her front legs tucked up against the arm of the sofa, and her head is twisted backward at a 90-degree angle, making her look very broken but somehow still adorable.

*hugs*

May I offer this picture of Pixie intently watching rabbits on the TV as a small and likely insufficient break from all the awful?
A white and brown dog is lying half-curled on a black ottoman, leaning against someone’s leg (grey cotton pants and purple crocs). She has her paws tucked up under her chest and is staring intently off-camera. Not pictured: the rabbit show taking place on the television, which has captured her interest.

Behold, part of a heel! #knitting
A close-up of a partial sock heel on a knitting needle, made up of red, blue, yellow, and green striped yarn.

Almost ready to start the infamous heel turn. #knitting
About half a sock is knitted onto three double-pointed knitting needles in striped yellow, green, red, and blue yarn. The top of the knitting has been separated into a narrower section that will form part of the heel.

Another sock update. There is more length, but we’re not quite ready for the heel turn yet. #knitting
Three double-pointed knitting needles rest on a white desk. On them is knitted a narrow tube using yellow, green, red, and blue yarn.

The sock proceeds slowly. #knitting
Three double-pointed knitting needles lie on a white desk forming a triangle on which the beginnings of a sock have been knitted with yellow, green, blue, and red striped yarn.

My coworker is teaching me to knit socks. #knitting
Three double-pointed knitting needles lie on a white desk forming a crude triangle. A couple of rows of green and yellow yarn have been inexpertly knitted upon them.

Please accept these sleeping dogs as a palate cleanser after my last string of very depressing posts.
Two orange and white Brittany Spaniels are curled up practically on top of each other facing in opposite directions. They’re on a cream coloured sofa next to a person who is out of frame and has a pale purple body pillow in their lap on which one of the dogs is resting its head.
