dog museum!?! and more!

Hey friends,

Hope you're hanging in there. I promised you more Content this week but absolutely do not have anything relevant to tell you. So instead, I will tell you about DOG MUSEUM.

Did you know that there is a dog museum in Manhattan?!?! It's like four blocks from Times Square, and I found it last month while scrolling around on Google Maps looking for touristy spots to show my friend (who was visiting from London). I was indignant that nobody in NYC had ever told me about Dog Museum (technically called Museum of the Dog), but it turns out that most people don't know about Dog Museum, even though it is 30 years old!!! But now you know the truth: NYC is the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, if your dream is to stumble upon a dog museum.

Photo ID: A photo of a screen that is showing a picture of Tuck at the Dog Museum next to a picture of a fluffy dog that looks like a lion. Text says "Tibetan Mastiff: Working Group. Sometimes Loud, Reserved, Intelligent."

Remember when Alex Hanna said to not do facial recognition AI games? I simply had to find out which dog I am, and I don't regret it. 

While we are talking about dog art, here is a recent pic of me with my sisters, who are dogs.

OK, I do not have any pod updates other than We Are Working On It so here are Links & Stuff:

• My friend Ariana is offering a huge discount on their art to celebrate their birthday month, and I highly recommend grabbing some! (They are the genius who designed this for us.)
• The folks at Gender Census are asking nonbinary folks to test out some new survey questions for next year, if you're interested. 
• Eve 6 guy has a new column about identity crises. I especially liked the line, “Looking back, it seems literally insane to me to expect a decision made by two people whose brains aren’t even fully developed yet to have no sunset clause.”
• It's late now, but here's a meta-list of articles about Labor for Labor Day
• Kehlani once again giving the representation we deserve 
• Interspecies turtle rescue hehehehhee.

That's it for this week! Not much in the way of news other than the queen dying and the Don't Worry Darling saga, which I will absolutely not be recapping. Oh, and the Mariners played an absolutely incredible game today but who cares other than me and maybe like two of you? 

Here's your Weekly Rhubarb. Enjoy the dog museum.

PS: This will only mean something to a few of you, but I realized halfway through that I was writing this post directly into the CMS for some reason, and I wrote the rest of it somewhat trepidatiously lol. But I made it! I think!
