Comments on latest review called me both a “pompous blowhard” and a “pretentious twat.” I was also misgendered quite a few times, which somehow got “bitch” left out of the mix, for once. I’m counting that as a win!

Today’s my anniversary with @onetailatatime.bsky.social and I’ve now been volunteering with rescue dogs in Chicago for 3 years. If you’ve ever thought about volunteering with rescued pets. Do it. Do it tomorrow or next week. It’s joyful for me and dogs seem to like it too. (Chad here is available)
