this is Penny
Penny is a nine pound brown dog, most likely a chihuahua miniature pinscher mix. She’s dressed in a home made cerberus costume.

thank you for this prompt! Gave fifty bucks to NYC’s City Harvest. Penny aka Cerberus sends her best.
A brown chihuahua mix with a sweet lil deer shaped head wearing a black sweatshirt with one stuffed dog head sewed onto on either shoulder. It’s adorable and the dog heads look remarkably like her. She’s in the lap of a lady sitting outside in a park, whose face is turned away from the camera.

I am once again thinking of this Onion article
A screenshot of an Onion headline that reads : Guy Who Sucks At Being A Person Sees Huge Potential In Al Below the headline is a photo of a bland, generic white guy in his twenties or thirties looking emotionlessly at the camera. He is wearing a pale blue button down open over a white undershirt. Behind him is a blurred out tech company looking office background.

C’mon, read the sign buddy
An official looking red and white sign in the same format as a classic no parking sign, but it says: NO RANKING CUOMO Corrupt Creep At the bottom in smaller font where it would normal say Dept of Transportation, it says Dept of Not Getting Conned

You know it’s bad when Hochul has the best take
Screenshot from NYT article: Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, was more blunt: "I really think it's bullshit," she told reporters when asked about Mr. Lander's detainment.

A handmade protest sign, black sharpie on cardboard, that says BTW YOU LOGO LOOKS LIKE AN IUD and then smaller and honestly illegibly, JUST FYI! HIRE WOMEN! The sign was photographed inside after the fact, but it had been at a Tesla protest. The other side says NO CASH FOR FASH.

God, on top of everything else, they are so f’ing sleazy. I was curious how much they actually cost, so I checked tesla.com
First of all, by default you only see the monthly payment option. Then, even if you pick “cash”, by default they include theoretical tax benefits and **5 year gas savings**

I went down memory lane and found these pics, possibly from doggo’s first protest, back in 2020 when I’d had her one month 🥹
A nine pound brown short haired pup (probably a minpin/chihuahua mix) is seen from above, looking up at the camera, standing on sunny asphalt next to a sharpie on cardboard protest sign that reads “STOP KILLING BLACK PEOPLE”. It’s on the ground for the purpose of taking the picture, and my (white) legs and sneakered feet are in the shot.

I don’t want to post crowd shots because who knows who still has freedom of assembly, but it was super invigorating to see New York show UP for Mahmoud Khalil and against fascism tonight

Thanks, Mom ☺️

(My mom and I are going to Paris! For my milestone birthday! Happy early birthday to me!)
A screenshot of a received iphone text reading “You are so cutting edge. Please don’t get arrested before Paris!” and sharing link to a NYT story headlined Rage Against Elon Musk Turns Tesla into a Target with a preview image showing a youngish white woman wearing a Sunrise movement tee apparently being arrested, she appears to be shouting defiantly.

Truly
The most adorable dog in the world, napping in blissful ignorance. She is a nine pound rescue, probably a mini pinscher and chihuahua mix, with brown short hair and a tiny deer-like face. The photo shows her laying on a fuzzy yellow blanket in dappled sunlight through the window in the background showing bare branches of a magnolia tree. Her very adorable oversized ears stick up, and one little paw is visible tucked up by her chin.

Shout out to the one person who got my Severance joke protest sign
A sign that says “FUCK YOU TESLA / I HATE YOU TESLA” but the U in Fuck is an asterisk, I felt like I ought to? for the children? and “tesla” is written in the style of the Lumon logo. The sign is thick sharpie on brown cardboard and my white hand is with a black kn95 mask dangling from my wrist is holding it up against one of those chain link fences with fake greenery stuff behind it.

Good morning, here is my perfect dog who knows nothing of this ill-begotten world
The most adorable dog in the world is curled up on a bed basking in the sun with her head raised and her eyes half closed against the light. Her perfect oversized ears are up. She is a nine pound rescue, probably miniature pinscher and chihuahua. She’s light brown and short haired. The end of her tail is black, like it was dipped in black paint.

You deserve this perfect snoot
The cutest dog in the world is wrapped in a thick, textured fleece blanket, which is red, pink, and white and wound around her head in such a way that it looks like three big fleece petals, one of each color. Her cute lil deer-shaped brown head is all you can see of her, and she is so swaddled that her head takes up like the center 1/9th of the photo and the rest is all blanket.
