Because Pippin is a very athletic dog with very high energetic needs to be truly happy, I sometimes get questions from people in the city — who have adopted border collies or what seem like working-line Australian shepherds or german short haired pointers — wondering what we do to keep Pippin from destroying our rental apartment out of boredom... especially when I mention the hunting training or the canicross, I often get a lot of skeptical "wow that's too much effort for me."

Please, people, for the LOVE of YOUR dogs, have these little brainstorms BEFORE you bring an athletic, working breed into your home.

++ Honestly, even "show line" working dogs still have really high requirements. Be an ethical dog companion! Do the work. You got this high energy athletic creature, they did not pick you, you picked them, so you gotta show up now, this is another creature's entire EXISTENCE in your hands.

There are not enough lewd jokes about having sex with bears, as in the actual bears, coming from all you queer AF BG3 players, and I'm a little disappointed ngl.

I need bloggers to be real transparent and clear about just how much "AI" they are using to write their posts.

If people find “AI" helpful to their process, that's their practice & their call. I am sure their targeted audience doesn't mind — but I am not in that audience, am simply not interested, and hope that people will be honest about this aspect of their writing. If they aren't ashamed of using these tools, why not declare it?

The systemic, communal, governmental hatred felt towards trans children and adults is hard to carry today.

@Adam_Cadmon1 The lack of mainstream publication about what has happened to the visible ground/grassroots leaders of those movements is really heinous. (Avoiding a few key words here to avoid attracting a certain kind of systemic attention.)

I hope one day there is some sort of real justice for what happened.
