The sweet girl in my profile went with me everywhere she was allowed to be over the last 17 years. For better or worse - she has been my most successful relationship, to date. 😄

I'm that guy at a party who sits in the corner and pets the host's dog. Or cat, if I can coax them.

DEREK, I've got a lot on my plate, & entertaining for the sake of saying I've entertained is not a life goal. Besides, my kitties & dog cuddle me, I don't have to move, & they let me pet them. If you do that at a party, DEREK, cops get called, & you have to tell your neighbors you live there.

DEREK tries to pretend that the drop in alcohol use has nothing to do with a drop in 'partying'. But ask nearly anyone... it's no fun to go to a party where everyone is sloppy drunk but you quit drinking a couple decades ago. For huge swaths of America.. Party = Alcohol and/or Drugs.

Sounds to me like Derek isn’t getting invited to any parties.

Or take cats to picnics in the park!

100% of women pet owners have not named their pet(s) “DEREK”.

The invite didn’t include a plus one, ANNA 🤣😂🤣

Dogs are brighter and more fun than most people. Likely more of each than you, DEREK.

Also, we used to have real parties.

DEREK must not like animals. Which makes him DUMB.

People like dogs at parties. Dogs make everything more fun.

Party in the arena with this dude every Friday night and Beach Juice in a Hydro Flask, DEREK.

Who is this "DEREK" and why is anyone going to their pet-free parties?

Some of us prefer dogs over people, DEREK!

😂😂😂 cats and raccoons too!

i don’t think DEREK was ever a “young American” who partied, because DEREK would know the girls ALWAYS flock to any dog present at a party

I love it when, 25 years after the publication of "Bowling Alone: Unraveling the Collapse of American Community" some damfool "discovers" the entire theory all by himself. It's just like watching your bright 10yo figure out (sorta) algebra and proclaim _his_ discovery.

I don’t know who Derek is, but that’s hilarious

Gee whiz maybe protesting fascism after crawling through a pandemic while facing financial inequities does not evoke a party atmosphere? What an absolute tool.

Women and the LGBTQ+ community are too busy fighting for their rights to plan your party, DEREK. As explanation, here's a thread on how, in general, men have become separated from the aesthetics needed to plan a good party (may also explain the failure of Trumps parade). bsky.app/profile/diew...

I mean -- a dog party is way more fun than a people party DEREK

DEREK’s no friend of mine

Any time spent with my dogs is a party, DEREK.

Why does someone automatically think the death of partying is a bad thing?

DEREK is a DICK.. #SmallDickEnergy 🍄🤏🏼

Dogs are always welcome at our parties!!
