Probably too late in the death of this platform to ask, but … #uglydogs … where did we all move to? I’m getting @BlairBraverman Patreon updates for dog stories, but do we have a place for chatting/stressing about trackybois in 2025?

@james_f_thomas In fairness to this guy, he was a friend of a friend and would’ve been a terrible criminal, so. 🤷🏼

@james_f_thomas ME: “I hope CATS guy didn’t get a second date after this comment.”
