three shepherds are laying next to one another in some grass with golden sunlight filtering through trees in the background. from left to right, they are white, brown, and black. they also have matching pink tongues, all hanging out of their mouths.

This is Oakley, Kaos, and Charlie. They are proof that if you like something, you should get it in a couple colors. 13/10 for all

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Measles death of unvaccinated child in Texas outbreak is 1st fatality in US in a decade An unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas has died of measles, the first associated with an outbreak that has infected more than 100 people.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

My dog was losing her mind at a spot in the roughly 4-inch gap between the fence and my neighbor’s garden shed on the other side. I was mystified but couldn’t see over the fence, so I stuck my phone over the side to look, and YIKES HELLO

Sen. Patty Murray, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee:
 
"I'm ready to stay here through Christmas because we're not going to let Elon Musk run the government. Put simply, we should not let an unelected billionaire rip away research for pediatric cancer so he can get a tax cut."

He’s sorting it twice.

SELECT * from child_list WHERE behaviour=‘nice’
