Architect, Chicagoan, but my dog Murphy is the real star. Running along the lakefront is my sanity during these extraordinary times

Murphy is a pond hockey fan. We watch it every weekend 🏒🥅#dogsofbluesky #chicago

When you give zero f@cks 😂 #dogsofbluesky

Since the orange blob is already underwater in his polls, any Democrat who starts arguing about the bad things he’s doing is already on the winning side of the argument

It’s sick to even suggest sending out checks to Americans when that is the salary of an illegally fired government employee

More of this! Proud of my governor

Murphy is on patrol for birds, dogs, people but hopefully no planes

The snow returned just for Murphy to roll in it #dogsofbluesky

Two years today I met this little maniac and he’s just the biggest sweetheart and the goofiest. Happy gotcha day Murphy! #dogsofbluesky

Loved everything about this performance

Murphy is busy fighting and resting with his bestie Beans #dogofbluesky

Excuse me, but the WTF is happening America?

Is the nytimes pro-nihilism and ethnic cleansing because pointing out this as a pitfall and not the illegality of it is insane

Stuck between a wall and a chair leg #dogsofbluesky

Murphy and I love living in Chicago. And we are so glad @govpritzker.illinois.gov is fighting for us. Call, write or visit your senators and house rep to tell them to stop Elon and not to vote anyone into this admin

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Watching Say Nothing and I’m inspired by the women fighting for the IRA. Obvs it’s more nuanced but 10 days into this admin I’m inspired by female rebels fighting for their freedom

Not thrilled about the rain or the state of our union right now #dogsofbluesky

Sometimes you need to cuddle under a blanket with your favorite toy and hide from the news for a few minutes #dogsofbluesky

Having grown up w/catholic boomer parents who loved JFK and RFK it’s shocking how cruel and dumb RFK jr is. He has clearly never read anything his father wrote or said which was based in social justice Catholicism and he demanded respect for all people regardless of class or race.

So if we have no government employees then the economy fails. He loves branding things so call it the Trump Depression

Anyone ever try trashie? I like the concept but looking for anyone who’s had experience with it

Even floofier today! #dogsofbluesky

Peak floofy dog #dogsofbluesky

Currently rationing my eggs like I’m living thru the blitz

Didn’t we all grow up watching movies where the Nazis are the bad guys? Why is this so hard to understand?

High of 8 but the windchill is -8 #dogsofbluesky

Just realizing the two old guys running the Pam Bondi hearings are from the silent generation. What an oxymoron

This is fun, a timeline cleanse if you will. Who is your celebrity “Birthday twin (born same day as you)? Answer with pic of gif only.

I love writing alt text for photos. Seriously. I love it.

Collected a few snowballs to take home with him #dogsofbluesky

Murphy has some thoughts about the snow 🤔 ❄️ ☃️

It’s sweater weather! Any other dogs out there wearing cute sweaters in the snow? #dogsofbluesky

This makes me so happy every time I see it

Why is Jeremy Strong dressed like Jamiroquai?

frigid January day in Chicago but we still managed a walk and saw two squirrels
