Charcoal portrait of an older hound dog, with close-up focus on muzzle
Look at my sweet Billy (rip, 2023). One of three charcoal portraits I received for my birthday. If you’re looking for gift ideas, I recommend this artist’s work linktr.ee/whiskerandbr...
Thank you for subscribing. I’m still there because the news side is independent (no owner meddling) and still doing important work
Thanks for noticing 🩷 … the chat was mostly heavier topics, tho. I just shared extra comments on the dress. Because yes, we try not to forget that lives are still happening, and also sometimes need a damn break

The administration says that criminal immigrants can be deported to a foreign forced labor prison without a hearing that could determine if the person is actually a criminal or actually an immigrant and that if it makes a mistake it can’t be rectified because the person is now outside their control.

I’ve had time to think. I cherish most of my profanity
You mean so I don’t regret the profanity I’m likely to write if I commit to something now

Finally (ran out of a color I needed). Stress-management mermaid No. 2. Haven’t decided what to put on the sign
UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:
My goodness. My pops (USMC, r.i.p.) could have written this, including the Agent Orange cancers. Devastating.
I understand. I’m staying put for now — Post newsroom remains independent (and is doing great, necessary work)
Whoa. Right down to the life management skills

I don't know what Jeff Bezos means by "personal liberties and free markets." But I do know this: The biggest threat to personal liberties and free markets in America today is Donald Trump. My @postopinions.bsky.social column on this week's trauma at the Post. wapo.st/3DaSKxX

Good family
They sure are. I think I can do the most good by supporting the great work of the news side of The Post. Especially now. (The changes affect the opinion side only but hurt the news side’s credibility.)
Oh, tons. Emails all day.
Owners have this right — the opinion pages are theirs to shape (or leave alone, or strangle). So Bezos wants to make ours the WSJ? Not my preference, but not my paper. News side still independent.
Thanks for sticking around.
No notes
I’m sorry, just posting links, which still go to The Post. (Understand why some are canceling, but we’re still busting our butts)
That’s grief, isn’t it? You don’t know where to put it. I miss him too

Not online. Only in print in my syndication clients. I will humbly ask that you don’t quit it, tho. I support the work and hope you will too: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... and www.washingtonpost.com/business/202..., just for recent examples
