Haven't been around lately because I've been helping a friend of mine campaign for Circuit Court judge. It's been a busy summer! Here is me on a boat on the river during a fundraiser and a bunch of lazy dogs. My greyhound is doing well at the age of 14 1/2 and I will be fostering in December.

Walked in a parade on Sunday for my friend who's running for circuit court judge. It was 90°, humid, and I was loaded for bear. FUCK CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM!!!

My brother is crazy-texting me, asking me to start explaining the current administration's psychopathology. He isn't understanding that I do not have the energy, nor does any psychologist I know. The only energy I am mustering is for November. Here is a Diego dog, glued to me per his usual. #galgo

I watched Obsession today. Just like with Backrooms, I feel as if I was watching my job. Is this a Gen Z thing, working psychological metaphor into "horror"? Because yawn.

The FUCK is WRONG with him??? This surpasses narcissistic personality disorder and is full-on psychotic disorder. Throw in some dementia for fun, stir, serve, and poison your country. 🤬🤬🤬

These pencil-dick Nazi cowards showed up in our county seat carrying vile, racist signs because a Muslim community wants to settle here. The county board meetings have been horrific. I'm embarrassed to be from this county. The Proud Boys have no business here.

The republiturds have lied so much that we are so deeply cynical that we don't believe that a proof of life photo from Mitch is real. It may or may not be real, but either way, I'm just glad he won't be returning to the Senate to wreak more havoc before he retires.

Never has there been a more accurate portrayal of the Unconscious, tunnels, holes, and all, especially mine. (One of my favorite actors, btw.) #Backrooms

This is m example of canine passive-aggressive behavior: taking up an entire three-sighthound couch so that two are displaced and one keeps wandering, looking for a couch seat that will never magically transpire. #galgo #sighthounds

Things IDAGF about today: 1)The semiquincentennial 2)Taylor's wedding 3)This STUPID Illinois weather, which is both ridiculously scalding and eternally raining and also driving Tamarind crazy because of the thunder that will not let up 4)That ugly-ass gold eagle and that ugly-ass jeweled ring

Had to take a screenshot of this because downloading it as a photo was difficult (probably because of copyright). It shows the greyhound edging out the galgo, which is edging out the saluki. Obviously, all the sighthounds are the fastest. Galgos average about 43 mph compared to a greyhound at 45.

Anyone know whether Mitch kicked the bucket? Bought the farm? Is pushing up any daisies? Has taken a dirt nap? Is meeting Satan for the first time?

This one whined so bad as I was getting ready to leave my office that he guilted me into taking him with me. He's not supposed to be on the couch.

"Birthright citizenship" SHOULD HAVE BEEN A UNANIMOUS DECISION!!! I knew it would be upheld, but 5-4?? Are you fucking kidding????!

Very stressful week for me, especially because this one ended up overnight in the doggy hospital after Minion tore up a comforter and Cano ate--and upchucked--the stuffing. He wasn't holding food down, so I didn't take the risk. Turns out there was no obstruction. And my power was out this morning.

All the racists are crawling out of the woodwork over on the cesspool that is Facebook. Every time I scrolled past one repugnant comment on a post, another one would pop up. 🤮 Anyway, Happy Juneteenth!

I have been FRANTIC since I got home from my office today. Guapo refused breakfast and supper, was acting lethargic and weak. I took him in for an emergency appointment; bloodwork showed everything normal, UA showed a UTI. He's gotten worse since. Emergency call to the on-call. Trying not to panic.

I made Tamarind come in because it's too hard on him to be outside for more than a few minutes. But these fools were out there for an hour. And I still had to drag in Diego and Guapo by their collars. #galgo #sighthounds

I started Tamarind on selegiline this morning. He begins to get agitated at 6:00 every single night. It's been disruptive for my evening telehealth sessions. He can wander and pace for hours and I know he's miserable. I also brushed a whole dog's worth of hair out of him today for summer comfort!

My friend Melissa is running for judge as a Democrat for the 13th judicial circuit court. Yesterday, she spent the day doing film/photo shoots for her campaign commercials. My wild friend Sarah is her campaign manager and asked me to be an extra. If I get links to the commercials, I'll post them.

There has been some miscommunication amongst the leftist/liberal groups in our community. I facilitated a meeting today with some of the women leaders of these groups. We all need to be on the same page. The way I opened the meeting was to say, "trump woke up this morning. We need common ground."

This is truly my superpower. I can spot a sighthound, whether real or rendered in art form, in the fleeting background scene in a show or movie, no matter how fast the camera is panning. This is in The Testaments. I can spot a real life sighthound from LITERALLY a mile away, also. #sighthounds

This is a milestone reunion year for my high school graduating class, so there are events all year long. Today we had the first one. I sat in my van for 20 minutes having a lot of anxiety before I worked up the courage to go in. Yes, I'm a grown ass adult, but HIGH SCHOOL! It was fine. It was fine!

May Day rally selfies! I took Diego and he was overwhelmed and cold because we're in northern Illinois and it's May and, therefore, cold. #Indivisible #galgo #sighthounds

I can't believe I have to type these words, but TDS will never be in the DSM. It's not a real disorder. Delusional disorder, however, is. I hate it here.

Trying the hands-free leash again. Silverio is about 11 years old, so even though he is highly prey-driven, he isn't about to bolt on me. At least I don't think so! #galgo #sighthounds
