Mollified is a good word. I always think they seem to take it as their due, lol.

as a dog person, and in the kindest eat possible, i feel like people who want gratitude don't get cats. 😂

Okay wait is this why I got so confused trying to watch Leverage on there?? I hadn't seen it since watching online 10+ years ago and was confused as hell but couldn't figure out why!

I was going to change it, then I met him at the rescue and he plopped his waggy butt on my foot and gazed up adoringly, and here we are with many many nicknames.

(His government name is Flip Elizabeth Flop. Flipperton J. Flops the Third, Esq-why-are-you-like-this, if you're fancy.)

Bestest hounds. I humbly share my himbo hound, because how do you not smile at a dog named Flip Flop?

Is it you guys starting to use alt text? Because I've been asking about that for months, and it would be pretty fun for screen reader users to be able to engage with the league..

I've been taking great joy in loudly talking about the grossness of those every time I'm at the bookstore. Because ick.

My overall point here is that if you are attempting to sell books to traditional publishers right now, you may be feeling pretty down. Submission periods are stretching longer than I've ever seen. Editors are ghosting. Agents have lists of genres they can't sell. Authors are seeing lower advances.

Flip Flop spent 4 years in a Louisiana rescue before being sent up to Canada, and I made a 5 hour trip one way just to go meet him knowing full well I might have to do it again.

My willingness to do that + past experience with hounds were big parts of why they let me take him home that weekend.

The next person to say something about le puff puff being bad for the environment is getting a round of bronchodilator to the faaaace

if your moderation team bans someone for a harmless unactionable exclamation of disgust, but permits a govt account to say stuff like this,

you need a new moderation team.
