My little friend’s human said the word “walk” but made him wait 15 minutes. Maybe it’s not the weekend quite yet. #DogsOfMastodon

There’s a #cougar wandering around here. A neighbour came over to warn me today. https://www.victoriabuzz.com/2023/08/saanich-police-warn-of-multiple-cougar-sightings-near-gordon-head-and-mount-tolmie/ We’re supposed to keep a close eye on our kids and pets until it leaves the area. I have warned the human of one of my favourite #DogsOfMastodon.

Data Reveals An Infuriating Reason #Women…Are Held Back At Work: ‘Researchers…surveyed 913 women leaders…in higher education,…nonprofits, law, & health care…[&] discovered…there is no…“prime” working age…for…women. Women under 40…saw their experience & credibility dismissed because of their age, while women between 40 & 60…continued to experience gendered #ageism, too. “There was always an age-based excuse to not take women seriously…,” the researchers wrote.’ https://www-huffpost-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.huffpost.com/entry/age-discrimination-women_l_64ac0fe0e4b02fb0e6f9d516/amp

I got a note from my little friend’s human yesterday. They were on the beach. I’m told that before sitting still for his holiday portrait, my little friend had been rolling in dead crabs and digging a hole in the sand. Happy weekend, everyone! #DogsOfMastodon

Fascinating!
