Hi i’m Kaz and this is my silly little dogblr feat. Maya the Great Dane and Daisy the 🤷!

why the hell is my neighborhood so feral 😭 literally in the next one over every single dog is on a leash or in a fenced in yard. this morning alone in my neighborhood i’ve seen 3 off leash dogs, one of which has previously run across an entire road just to bite me

#i hate it hereee i can’t walk my dogs because they get attacked #to get to the next neighborhood i have to walk down a semi-busy road with no sidewalk #worlds longest sigh

So a while back, I asked the boss to register and put up ‘Welcome here’ stickers at the clinic.

They’re roughly palm-sized stickers with a rainbow heart in a map icon. They’re obvious but don’t take up that much space and don’t interfere with anybody’s day.

One sits on the reception desk, and one is stuck on the front door. They’re a small gesture that just explicitly states the LGBTQ+ community is, literally, welcome here.

It’s very unobtrusive, and (most) people haven’t mentioned it at all, but the observable results have been:

More Clients specifically adding their same sex partner as another owner on the account.

Some clients that I’ve known for a decade or more actually being comfortable enough to reveal they have a partner in conversation.

More same sex couples calling each other ‘darling’ in front of other people.

A few ‘Mx’ titles on client files.

I want to emphasise that it is a tiny gesture, but it increases the comfort level slightly for quite a lot of people, so I’d recommend it if your workplace can, even if you don’t think it’s relevant.

The only person who has had anything vaguely negative to say has been a notorious problem client, who ‘didn’t see the point’. But obviously the stickers are not for him.

"i dont want topless women or leather daddies at pride" then why are you going. like be really fucking serious why are you going

#THIS ADDITION ‼️‼️ #leather daddies and topless dykes have always been at pride #since before half of us were an idea let alone born into this world #they are not going anywhere #and they are not hurting anyone #a guy wearing a leather outfit or a pup mask is not graphic sex #same for a lady with her tits out bc it’s 99° outside and she can do whatever the hell she wants #you have to learn how to be ok with queer people being queer in ways that Amazon does not like #whether you realize it or not i promise you you would rather have kink at pride than corporations

out of curiosity bc it came up in conversation today:

#no judgement i genuinely just wanna see what other people do #since i was told i wash mine more often than the average person 💀 #i generally wash em every couple of days #every day in the summer since i’m hydrating the kibble and it leaves gross wet crumbs #also because Maya drools more when it’s hot out so her bowl gets extra nasty #which i feel is reasonable??

Finished present for my dad of his 7y/o Great Dane Gertrude. She likes to melt on the couch. Really happy with how this turned out!
