It's like you can read his mind.

A Golden Retriever eating a cup of whipped cream, his eyes huge.

This is the only picture I have of Darwin smiling. It was from his trial day at doggy daycare, and it genuinely looks like one of those pictures parents take of their kids on the first day of school. He just needs an oversized backpack.

A grainy picture of a Golden Retriever sitting on a wood floor and smiling up at the camera.

I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS. THIS, ALL THE TIME:

A Golden Retriever lying on a wood floor, staring off into the distance making a face that kind of looks like a disgruntled Kermit.

A Golden Retriever staring at you from the other side of the car with an expression of pained longing.

A Golden Retriever lying on the floor with just the saddest eyes

A Golden Retriever with his face mushed into the bed because he's just so worn down by the world.

Everyone: Goldens always look like they're smiling. Darwin:

A Golden Retriever looking extremely depressed while playing with a pile of toys.

A Golden curled up with the wheels of an office chair and looking so sad he might cry.

A Golden Retriever huddled next to his bed looking positively morose

The problem is that I can't disagree because LOOK at this magnificent creature:

A Golden Retriever sitting up on its back paws and showing his soft tummy feathers.

I regularly have this problem with Darwin and office chairs

A Golden Retriever mugging for the camera with his head resting on the leg of an office chair.

This goofy creature lives with me and we just get to hang out. It's wild.

Here's Darwin with my Lesbian bangs in the foreground!

A Golden Retriever yawning in the back seat of a car with my orange, pink and turquoise hair in the foreground.

I took Darwin to the coffee place that makes their own dog cookies, in honor of Kieran.

A Golden Retriever looking anxiously across the car at the window because he's worried he won't get his cookie.

What I love in the video is his little ears wiggling. It may be because my boy is a Golden and his ears do that too.

A Golden Retriever sits on a wood floor. He is wearing a ridiculous turkey hat and is clearly very dubious about this accoutrement.

Hair freshened and Lesbian flag bangs, also repping @peculiarityshop.bsky.social as usual!

A woman with long hair in shades of teal and blue with bangs that start orange and transition to magenta, wearing a necklace with a black rectangular pendant with a picture of a possum and "Surviving out of spite" on it

But this is also where I regret to inform you that Archer & Olive has a monthly subscription for themed planner supplies.

A kit of planner supplies like stickers, washi tape and paper in a sea theme.

I mean ... Possible yours and mine share a single brain cell.

Half a person's face, sitting in a car with a seatbelt on. A Golden Retriever has his head peeking over from the back seat with his face against the shoulder belt with it pressing against his eye for no good reason.

I have this one but in a different color!

An octopus brooch with red stone legs, and light blue eyes.

Trick of the light@trickofthelight· May 19

I know. I'm a monster.

A Golden retriever with his head pushed between a person who is trying to work to buy his kibble and her desk. The sad eyes are frankly a form of assault.

Also, I did not purchase this and I have regretted it ever since but I feel like you will appreciate this faux Ed Gein shit.

A necklace made up of what appear to be pretty realistic nipples crafted with various colors of leather, some of which have piercings.

Having the weird experience of finally recognizing myself in photos instead of feeling an immediate, jarring sense of disconnect from myself. So I guess now I have to keep my hair these colors forever?

A cascade of hair in shades of natural brown, teal, electric blue and purple.

This Zillow graph says it all. 😆

A line graph of the home value for the Breaking Bad house showing a skyrocketing price from about 400k in 2024 to around 1.5 million, then one lone dot with a mouse over "Listed for $400k on 2/2/26."

This is one I took a picture of recently, and this is now the norm. It had hand thrown pottery in it and it's miraculous nothing was broken!

A box with a clear red and white "Please handle with care, fragile" sticker on it that looks like it was playing contact sports.

He was offended because I did a drive thru and didn't take him, so he's trying to guilt trip me ... The door to his crate is open and he can leave it any time he wants.

A Golden Retriever stares mournfully at the viewer from within the bars of a crate.

Can confirm.

A Golden Retriever lying a wood floor with a moose toy. His mouth is wide open with the toy in it and his eyes are rolled back in a way that makes him look feral.

Give me an iconic #StarTrek image.

This is who runs this account:

A baby wearing a onesie is curled up, peaking out from under a brown hat that is way too big for her.

I had not initially intended this to be an ICE response thing. But then they murdered Renee Good and I had to take a few days off from working on it because it hurt too much. Can't take credit for the words, they come from the song "Take Me To Church" by Hozier.

A hand lettered and inked piece with words from the song "Take Me To Church" by Hozier. It reads "No masters or kings when the ritual begins. There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene, only then I am human, only then I am clean." It is overlaid over three stained glass windows, the two on the sides match and are all in grayscale with a grid pattern. The center has a more organic form, and grays are replaced in some panes with red and pink. It shows two female symbols overlapping and there are some hearts in the upper panes.

Here's mine:

A shard of silvery rusty looking rock with two uncut garnets still stuck in it.

Had to go find a picture of her:

A black and white patched kitty with slightly milky eyes and a benign lump on her chin.

Sometimes my brain is smarter than I am and I have to play catch up.

He is a method actor who does truly Oscar level work. Behold what happens on the rare occasion I catch him behaving with joyful exuberance. I have to pretend I'm not filming and he still keeps stopping to check and make sure I haven't noticed.

Trick of the light@trickofthelight· Nov 7

He is glad someone appreciates his difficult life. Why, just last week I made him wait like four minutes to eat his pup cup from the coffee place so that I could drive home without crashing the damn car.

The saddest Golden Retriever who ever lived, his head resting on the front seat of a car as he peeks out of the back seat. His expression is one of mixed alarm and anguish.

This is what I was dealing with this morning when I was eating my Alpo (vanilla yogurt with granola and blueberries)
