I hope Martha and the Vandellas will be there, too! #DancinInTheStreets
Defenders of the living room! 🐕🐾❤️ Happy Sunday, Bluesky family. Have a wonderful day, filtering out negativity, and make room for joy. 🥰
Daddy's girl?
Redtail Hawk. 🥰 They will eat small rodents, snakes, frogs, etc.
Phoebe is the Elizabeth Taylor of Corgis when it comes to philandering George Glass. 😁😁
Happiest of Borkdays, Midge & Susie! 🐕🐾🥳💐❤️
Pink is your color, Luna!! 🥰
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Huzzah! That is very kind & generous of Tiniest Person Friends. It's good to have visits from thoughtful friends who give the gift of time. 🤗❤️🕊 We think Karls was just following the food looking for chimkins! 😃
Delly's belly requires cheese! 😋🐕🐾🧀💓
Thanks so much. ❤️ Marty was the consummate professor and dean who fostered lifelong leaning among his students, supported his colleagues, and treated everyone with dignity and respect. He never walked away from a difficult situation and always found a solution. 🥰
No need to apologize for valid emotions. It feels like March 2020 all over again, but much, much worse. Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Hon. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, et al. have left the building. 😟
Saturday greetings, Bluesky family. Phoebe and Rhys were showing off their impressive pantaloons to the indifferent bunnies and squirrels this morning. Wherever you are, whatever you do, know that you are enough. Enjoy this beautiful day! 🙂🐕🐾❤️

Thanks, Nancy. Another hole in my heart that will shrink by carrying his legacy forward through my work. 🤗
Me, too, Taco! 😁 So much life, so many stories.
Thanks so much. 🙂 Dr. Herman lives on both in peoples' hearts & minds, but also through the work of the hands of everyone he influenced during his lifetime. 💓
What??! Oh, Lilo! 😥 Humans can be so rude & self-absorbed sometimes. You are beautiful, fren, and it shows through your soulful eyes. Hoomum tells people like this, "Thanks for your unsolicited opinion. Now, a word about your [xxx]." Sending boops and positive energy to your human family. 🐕🐾🤗❤️
Thanks so much, Taco. He was such a kind man and brilliant scholar who always made time to discuss my research. He pushed me to apply for my first Fulbright. 🙂 I learned so much from him & was lucky to be part of his inner circle. The funeral and luncheon are on Sunday afternoon.😥💔
Looks yummy! Mango pie -- what a treat! Hoomum loved the Hostess fruit pies as a kid, especially the peach and lemon. 😋
We see them, too, Atlas. Rhys once poked his nose into the tall grass along the road, startling a hen turkey and her chicks. The chicks scattered, the hen raised a fus and chased us for a quarter mile while calling her babies! Good times!🤯🦃🐕🐾❤️
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
He was my guidestar, my rock, my trusted counselor, who taught me how to be both a passionate and compassionate professor. He applauded my every success and commiserated with me in every setback. "Bereft" is so inadequate a word, but will have to do for now. Rest well with the angels, Dr. Herman! ❤️
It's a very sad day for Hoomum. 💔💔😭 Her longtime mentor and "second dad" who gave her the first academic post of her career died last night at age 95. We'd remained great colleagues & close friends these past 33 years, long after his retirement, enjoying campus gossip over coffee, lunch & via Zoom.
Concert outside the White House! #cdnpoli
Leave it to the musicians!! 😅❤️
Best traditional Italian pizza in the area! Lovely family, great store! ❤️ www.wxyz.com/news/positiv...

Yes! Let Toshi drive! 🥰
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Fire him now! He is a disgrace.
This is how Hoomum's week has been. 😅
We are ##TeamMissy all the way! Get your treat up front, girl!!
Giving new meaning to “resting bitch face.”
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
Bravo, Herbert! A child prodigy in stick analysis & utilization. Step softly and carry a big one, fren (although Hoomum prefers a pitching wedge!). 😂😂🐕🐾❤️

evil potion to cast a wicked tummy ache spell on him. 😂 Seeing Halloween costumes at the store must have set her off! A little meditation with Corgi cuddles & she'll be fine. Phoebe & me are experts at mindlessness meditation! Be well & keep your cool! 😂🐕🐾❤️
Hello, Bluesky family! It's 68°F and cloudy in Motown today. This is Rhys. Hoomum is breathing fire & using words like "scorched earth policy" bc the same jerk who screwed up our travel last month has done it again. She *says she's making minestrone soup, but Phoebe and me believe she's brewing an
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Why Howie? Hoo.um is confused... not that it takes much some days!🙂
Ohhh! Has Dad forgotten that Ralph is the center of his universe??! Say it isn't so! Homage must be accorded. Give Ralph an extra snack. 🐕🐾🦴🦴❤️
Not just Cali. Tr***'s coffee boys won't stop at Cali.
Murder mittens at the ready! I hope BL is prepared for her annual performance review! HR Kitty is looking feisty. 😃
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Good night, friends! Rest well. Tomorrow is a day. 😴❤️
Haha! Rhys does & sounds exactly the same during zoomies!! 🐕🐾❤️
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Oh, no!!! Tigre is no more?!! 💔
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.

Who do you pray to when you’re being shot at in church? ❤️🩹
Angelina and Bob are a bonded pair of street dogs who adore each other ❤️ Angelina recently got sick & had to stay in the vets. Bob's health went downhill too. Like an old married couple, they were pining. They needed to be together if either of them had a chance at making it...
I can’t stop watching this! Love it! 😁. Democracts really do need a hero right now ! 👏 #USDemocracy #Pinks
Oh, FFS! I have a colleague in the Music Department there. We were in a focus group meeting with OUP just last week.
This makes me so happy. I really want to buy the guy a drink (or perhaps another sandwich).
Impressive yawn, Herbert! Vernon must be schooled -- all protocols observed; no currying favor with the humans. It's both illegal and embarrassing!
🤭 Sharing is caring! Maybe the cool floor felt better?
This is the holiday weekend petrol mark-up spree.The news here was reporting price hikes in Grand Rapids & TC yesterday.
Well done, @tacothecat.bsky.social Such a sweet, thoughtful gesture. 👏 We need more kindness & generosity of spirit and less rudeness and hate on the world. Although weaponry may come in handy at some point. Good to plan for all possible outcomes! 🤭❤️
Good mid-week morning, Bluesky family! While Phoebe & Rhys are at the doggie spa, Corgi philanderer George Glass slipped in the side door to surprise Phoebe. 🤫 Don't tell @midgeandsusie.bsky.social! It was 46°F in Motown this morning, so Hoomum let him stay. She is such a sucker. 🙄 Have a 😎 day!
Oh, Taco! 😟 I was watching @emmettdoog.bsky.social then, too, along with Dudley, Midge & Susie, Elsie & Emory, Riot, Tazzy & Bennie. The hardest is watching people you love fight so hard to live, but still slip away, and there's *nothing you can do to stop it. 💔
The security CEOs, having seen 4 bunnies on night patrol, are sleeping off dinner, watermelon, and blueberry treats blissfully unaware that tomorrow is spa day with Ms. Nicole. Bwahahaha! 🐕🐾🛁❤️
Couldn't agree more! 💔 I take comfort in the fact that Karma is a wicked taskmaster and will deal harshly with this "C You Next Tuesday" woman and her grifting ways.
You go, Herbert! Humans have the collective attention span of a flea and have to be constantly reminded about priorities like snoot cushions, blueberries, and belly rubs. It's exhausting!

Sorry to hear this, Kid! How about a bedtime routine that includes meditation, soft music, and a gratitude list or prayer? youtu.be/EC5CqOKkiGM?...
Yummy! Have you tried these? 👇 150 cal/serving, gluten-free.
Good morning, Linda! A few degrees warmer by Lake St. Clair and so nice to turn off the A/C and open a few windows! 🙂 Enjoy this beautiful day!✨️
Hello, Handsome Ralph, the Cary Grant of Corgis! Hoomum sez when you do good, it comes back to you in treble measure. Rhys, Phoebe & Hoomum hope you have a fine day! 😎 😘
Good Tuesday morning, Bluesky family! It's a deliciously cool 55°F this morning, with a high of 72°F. Perfect weather for ⛳️🏌♀️or bunny observations. Wishing everyone grace & peace! 🐕🐾❤️🐇
Phoebe has finally discovered toys. Harry Hippo is a goner! 😁🐕🐾❤️
Hello, Bluesky family! It's a sunny/70°F day in Motown -- perfect weather as far as Hoomum is concerned. First day of classes, so she is tethered to her laptop, and the infrastructure team is hard(ly) at work protecting the front door after the 4-bunny morning patrol. Be well & stay frosty! 🐕🐾❤️
For those interested... scholaridea.com/category/sci...
Between tariffs and DOGE cuts, the US Labor market is a 💩show. People are leaving academe in droves, too (buyouts, layoffs, etc.), taking jobs in the EU and Middle East. Hoomum got a notice about a job in Oslo. 🙃 Sending lots of positive energy to you in your search! 💼🔎❤️
Looks yummy! Sorry to hear the job search is moving at a glacial pace. It's everywhere according to a friend who's a re-employment counselor with the state here. She told hoomum she met with a retenched 60 yr old CEO, a 30ish machinist, and a pharmacist. 1/2
Just wait until they *really understand Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator" and Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher." Gotta love the 1980s!! 😂

Apparently, Roger Stone's visage has broken every mirror on Earth, and possibly the remainder of the solar system.
In addition to worries of an active shooter with a gun, a different kind of intruder has infiltrated the offices, classrooms, and hallways of academe: Fear of federal economic retaliation. #AfraidToTeach apnews.com/article/colo...
Good morning, Bluesky family! The infrastructure team is hard(ly) at work, securing the coffee table after morning patrol & brekky. Have a great day! 🐕🐾❤️
Only thing missing is a water slide and tiki bar.
Brava, Missy!! Nice steal. 😄
Hello & happy Saturday, Bluesky family! Peter Cottontsil was sitting by our driveway as we began the morning walk. Hoomum thinks he's adorable. We think so, too -- in a nice cassoulet with baby carrots & potatoes in red wine sauce! 😄 We got scolded for that remark. 🤷♀️ Be well & drink some🍷!
Brava! 👏🏆❤️ Stand your ground against self-absorbed people and their rude behavior. Same applies to airline seats. If you want the window seat, book in advance, and don't expect me to move so your family can sit together because you screwed up. Take ownership of your actions, people!
Yellow is definitely your color. So, so ADORABLE! Did mom make this for you? Certainly an original! 🥰
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
Yes! Let Toshi drive! And get him a shiny "arrest me red" corvette for his gotcha day! 🙂🐕🐾🏎❤️
Many happy returns, A'Tilly the Hun! Moom spoils you like crazy, so enjoy the celebration!🍾🥳🎂🎁 But, remember... karma is a taskmaster, so be nice to your big sister, Missy!
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
Fantastic news! So happy for you, Kid. 🙂👏🏆❤️
