Thank you, kind fellow human! I appreciate your comment so much. :) Hikes, running, weed, dogs, and wine are what’s getting me through this!

yay! Your neighbourhood sounds awesome

Very nice! It’s hard to do this stuff sometimes, but sooooooo uplifting!

My GSD is titled in Mondioring, dock diving, rally obedience, lure coursing and now we’re planning to revert to IPO (schutzhund) My Labrador is likewise titled in dock diving, rally obedience, and she has a working certificate in field trailing/hunt test.

That’s so awesome. Moving to a new city is so, so hard and it’s so easy to shut yourself in.

I have two trips planned for two weekends in a row with my dogs! Training assessment in a new sport one weekend, competing in a sport we’ve had some success in the next. Getting out and doing stuff with my dogs is the only thing that keeps me sane.

My first SNS ever! I’m usually too late to the game. Unemployment thread? I’m on day 6 of official unemployment. I applied for unemployment a few days ago. This is one of the scariest times in my life. How are you dealing? I’ve dyed my hair, got new glasses, and revised my cover letter. I’m hoping confidence will soon…

Aww I love that you can share that together!

Good evening, Jezzies! We’re currently freezing our asses off in Maine, got to a balmy 3 degrees today. Good stuff.

Aw, for weeks I have missed posting in SNS and now I’m here and I feel like I have nothing to say. Um, I quit my job for one that I hope will be less stressful and I’m scared but cautiously optimistic? The guy who was keen to date me and who I tentatively started to develop feelings for turned out to be an emotionally…

Sanders will be pushing eighty by 2020. At this point I’m all for a mandatory retirement age from politics.

See Also: Bernie Sanders. I don’t care if our politics are aligned, old white men GTFOH.

Yep. I want somebody different. If Sanders run his punk ass better run as an Independent. Don’t be piggy backing and using the Democrats when you see fit.

Too.....Many.....Olds.....

wait is hating biden now a thing? I loved biden.

I’d say this is probably the biggest reason she has a chance. She may not be as progressive as some other candidates, but she’s good at reading people and smart. Sanders has incredibly strained relationships even with people who agree with him. Booker is charming but sometimes strikes me as a friendly frat boy who…

I actually met Gillibrand back in 2006 when she was campaining for a house seat in Upstate NY. That was a pretty conservative distruct that covered the rural Adirondacks as well as wealthier ares like Saratoga Springs. The district she won in hadn’t voted a Democrat into office since the 70s. There was just no way in…

As a lawyer myself, I’m not really that swayed by “you use to represent bad people arguments.” Any lawyer working in a major firm is going to have some bad clients. It doesn’t really reflect a worldview as completely as you’re making it seem.

Thank you. I think the strangest criticism of a politician is “they change their positions based on what the majority of constituents want.” Aren’t they supposed too? Isn’t the refusal to change positions why Republicans are raising the taxes and taking away the healthcare over the objection of some of their most…

She’s shown better instincts over the last year than any other Democrat in the Senate. Better than Sanders, Booker, Harris, Warren, or whoever we’re supposed to be pulling for. I care more about that than what she was doing in upstate NY in the 90's.
