Cops are bad, but I wanted to share with you this photograph of a cop with an ass so magnificent he can use it to shelter a full-grown Belgian Malinois from the elements:
Just because someone always asks: No, I would not post a similar picture of a woman with a magnificent ass for us to crudely objectify. No, I have no coherent ethical system to draw on here.
As a straight guy, I am genuinely sorry I do not have the appreciation of this objectively fine ass the way that others would (and are!), and I've been trying to figure out how to express that without being a jerk, but I am fine, apparently, doing so as a reply here, because eff the patriarchy and all that. Also: happy doggy!!!!!!
Coworker just swung by, asking why I had a picture of this ass up. "It's a fine ass," I replied with the same definiteness in my voice that I use for work stuff. "Indeed," she nodded in agreement and moved along.
I had norovirus over Christmas and it prevented me from being obligated into toxic family time and all I could think was "Nicole Would Appreciate This"
Cops *are* bad but I saw one so ridiculously, traditionally handsome working the lobby of Radio City Music Hall on Christmas eve, I plotted an entire Christmas movie around him in my head right then and there, so I appreciate this post.
My mom is here for the holidays and she brought my beautiful dog (who no longer lives with me due to Life being Like That) and I didn't realized I missed him so much and today he got to meet everyone at my work and it was a true holiday blessing!
Can you imagine what it would be like to just be going about your business and all of a sudden this man, a cop, APPEARS? I don't know how I would react.
Happy new year, all! Hope those who celebrated this week had a wonderful holiday. We dressed my puppy up as Captain America and had him go after a Thanos toy on Christmas, so good times were had by all.
We miss you on the bird app. There was a particularly amazing thread that came thru the TL the other day...it would’ve tickled you pink AND outraged you b/c of the BEHAVIOR (not of the OP, of a person he was tweeting about). At one point, a gay man literally closeted himself during a Christmas party to spill the hottest of tea about a former flame who was AT THAT VERY PARTY *with* with wife on whom he had cheated with the selfsame gay man!!
I miss Nicole on "the bird app," too, but then I started thinking, the bird app is really quite a cesspool. I may make these open-thread posts my social-media home for a while, if that is ok
I mean sure that's a great ass, but the real star of this newsletter is your very specific identification of the somewhat obscure dog breed. 8-year-old me is delighted.
I'm in Buenos Aires right now and let me tell you, there must be a stringent fitness requirement for the local cops. But I find a lot more cis men attractive here than I do in the States, so I might be biased.
I bought a limoncello panettone for Christmas Day at my sister's for us to try and we ended up skipping it (we had... 4 other desserts) and she claimed it for her breakfast and I'm not still bitter about not having tried it. Don't know what you mean. And it's not like it's sold out so I couldn't get another one. Definitely not upset and eating cookies that AREN'T LIMONCELLO PANETTONE.
I have Googled “Nicole Cliffe Letterkenny” to see if you have ever weighed in but came up empty. Shall you ever?? BC 1) the word “pupper” is forever changed for me and 2) I have been very curious to see what you would make of it.
I also need Nicole to watch Letterkenny and weigh in but I also feel like maybe I should be glad she doesn't? It may be too much like being home for her. And I would be devastated if she hated it.
Same! Very curious to see if she would like it, would feel terribly sad if she did not. (My sister and her SIL are obsessed, my BIL does not like it, my husband does, my parents do not. Very hit-or-miss IME.)
Nice. Good doggy. He seems happy and that's all I care about.
I'm gonna say what I haven't said to anybody yet: my father's been in the hospital since Dec 21, and I'm glad we had Christmas Eve without him. I avoid having meals with my family because he always pisses me off, so that was great tbh. We may get NYE dinner without him too! I don't want him to have cancer or anything - it could be a gallstone OR cancer, apparently - largely because of the mess he'd leave us in regarding the flat - he's abusive, don't judge me - but not having him around is a fucking joy.
A few years ago my parents Exploded (not literally) in a way that made it very easy for me to decide "for the foreseeable future I will not be coming back to my home town for the holidays." In the aftermath of the Explosion, my first thought after I stopped shaking and crying, was how relieved I was to know I wouldn't have to go "home" for Christmas. Now I have quiet, low key Christmases with my boyfriend and his mom and no one ever screams at me about how ungrateful and horrible I am.
I'm wishing you peace, enjoyment, and space for yourself in this difficult time. And not having to have abusive dickweeds ruining your holidays.
Yeah, I completely feel you on that. It's been okay, but I've flounced from dinner a couple times because of my sister's boyfriend (when my father wasn't around) and on Dec 31 because of my father's smoking. I lashed out a bit and took the champagne with me. But we had a very nice New Year's Day dinner, and then yesterday my *mom* of all people was in a rotten mood yelling and insulting everybody. This is the real problem with this stuff; it's possible to have a nice time, but you never know where the landmines are.
I’m trying to signal boost this because it hurts my heart: a renting family facing eviction on Jan 1. Elderly couple, wife at home with daughter acting as her caretaker, husband recently lost job, savings lost to medical debt... just a pile of troubles. If anyone could help I & they’d be very grateful.
THANK YOU. I loved my formal shorts! Also the wedding was so so so lovely and I cried throughout the entire ceremony, which involved Grace's dear friend Paul playing his guitar and singing "The Rainbow Connection" and us joining in after the key change.
Ah! I am so mad that these (especially this good Doggo boy) have been filtering to spam! But so happy to find them. Thanks for doing these open threads, I want to pay to subscribe but I can’t now. Hopefully in the spring!!!
Anyway- this dog is a good boy.
I’m reading the Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, it’ll be my 105th book of the year if I finish! I am proud I have kept up with my reading this year through law school 2L. I am hopeful to keep it up next year too. Say Nothing is on my list as well but WOOF I know I’m going to just sob.
I don’t believe in hard New Years resolutions, so this year I’m going to try to be better about treating myself to little luxuries to make my life a little easier.
Had a lovely Christmas where we stayed home (both of our parents live 2+ flights away) and then went to our friends gathering, who then gave us PLENTY of leftovers to eat in the coming days! It’s supposed to get very very cold so here’s hoping a trip to hot springs is in our future!

I just! What is he doing at the gym? How much is genetic? Is he a living Tom of a Finland drawing?
Nicole, that’s a hockey ass.
As a Canadian you should know this!
Also, I am amazed that his uniform can accommodate both dat ass and his trim waist simultaneously.
It's the moment that belt has dreamed of.
HAVE you ever googled the Spanish legion
https://images.app.goo.gl/udQCQb2bUpFDpSLX7
Oh my god those uniforms! The deep v shirt. Definitely designed by Tom of Finland.
I just... what... hmmf.
I also love that some members of the cop subreddit actually cared about the handcuffs.
It’s like they used the Captain America machine on only his ass.
Where can I get pants with a tensile strength that high because they are DOING WORK
that was one of my top-ten questions about this photograph
paddy wagon
Coworker just swung by, asking why I had a picture of this ass up. "It's a fine ass," I replied with the same definiteness in my voice that I use for work stuff. "Indeed," she nodded in agreement and moved along.
My man has no ass and this photo sustains me.
*cap voice* “That is Belgium’s ass”
Is this praxis?
♫ prax that ass up ♫
I encourage these puns. We've had a bad year.
puns of steel
encouraging me is a mistake!!!
I had norovirus over Christmas and it prevented me from being obligated into toxic family time and all I could think was "Nicole Would Appreciate This"
That is a REAL "good news/bad news" scenario!! Also, I miss you.
I miss you too!! I missed the livestream of the wedding--seems like it was fantastic. Your legs looked great.
Cops *are* bad but I saw one so ridiculously, traditionally handsome working the lobby of Radio City Music Hall on Christmas eve, I plotted an entire Christmas movie around him in my head right then and there, so I appreciate this post.
(Please feel free to talk about your holidays or anything else you want, talking about the cop's butt is entirely optional.)
My mom is here for the holidays and she brought my beautiful dog (who no longer lives with me due to Life being Like That) and I didn't realized I missed him so much and today he got to meet everyone at my work and it was a true holiday blessing!
I wish I could attach a photo because he's a beauty but just imagine a large and good boy
Can you imagine what it would be like to just be going about your business and all of a sudden this man, a cop, APPEARS? I don't know how I would react.
Happy new year, all! Hope those who celebrated this week had a wonderful holiday. We dressed my puppy up as Captain America and had him go after a Thanos toy on Christmas, so good times were had by all.
Me, ready and willing to lick the gooch or ideally suffocate trying
We miss you on the bird app. There was a particularly amazing thread that came thru the TL the other day...it would’ve tickled you pink AND outraged you b/c of the BEHAVIOR (not of the OP, of a person he was tweeting about).

it unfolded in real time. anyway, we missed you.

i mean, not a bad choice
Except it was church and he didn't know the guy had a wife and kids
His ass: I am nawt a fahckin cawp
DOGGO. BUNS. Merry Christmas to us and this duo!
That dog looks so happy
He loves his thicc dad.
I would also be so happy if I were that close to an ass of that magnificence (or to a dog of that magnificence but let's focus on the butt here)
Doggo: THIS IS MY MAN, REGARD THE GLORIOUSNESS OF HIS ASS, I AM HERE TO PROTECC IT BUT IN THE MEANTIME I SMILE IN APPRECIATION OF A GLORIOUS ASS
I keep wanting to say something witty and cutely sexy, but then I look at the photo again for inspiration and just come up with: "My...my... my...."
I mean sure that's a great ass, but the real star of this newsletter is your very specific identification of the somewhat obscure dog breed. 8-year-old me is delighted.
The only reason I know about the breed is from the TV show PERSON OF INTEREST. "Bear" was a favorite character on that show!
Some racist a**holes have taught me that you can find someone sexy without respecting them at all.
Oh, Nicole - always thinking of us and wanting us to see/have nice things!
I'm here for YOU.
Wow!
I'm in Buenos Aires right now and let me tell you, there must be a stringent fitness requirement for the local cops. But I find a lot more cis men attractive here than I do in the States, so I might be biased.
You are not wrong. Argentina is unfair to other countries.
I bought a limoncello panettone for Christmas Day at my sister's for us to try and we ended up skipping it (we had... 4 other desserts) and she claimed it for her breakfast and I'm not still bitter about not having tried it. Don't know what you mean. And it's not like it's sold out so I couldn't get another one. Definitely not upset and eating cookies that AREN'T LIMONCELLO PANETTONE.
Reminds me a bit of the shot of Christopher Meloni leaning against a lamp post that I somehow can’t post here.
I have Googled “Nicole Cliffe Letterkenny” to see if you have ever weighed in but came up empty. Shall you ever?? BC 1) the word “pupper” is forever changed for me and 2) I have been very curious to see what you would make of it.
I have never watched it!
I also need Nicole to watch Letterkenny and weigh in but I also feel like maybe I should be glad she doesn't? It may be too much like being home for her. And I would be devastated if she hated it.
Same! Very curious to see if she would like it, would feel terribly sad if she did not. (My sister and her SIL are obsessed, my BIL does not like it, my husband does, my parents do not. Very hit-or-miss IME.)

and he's been real nice every time i've called in and no one has guilt-tripped me about not visiting yet so SHRUG
Difficult family solidarity.

Christmas was awful. I feel awful.
That puppy looks real happy, though
Off topic, but I saw you in the wedding live stream and you looked magnificent.
THANK YOU. I loved my formal shorts! Also the wedding was so so so lovely and I cried throughout the entire ceremony, which involved Grace's dear friend Paul playing his guitar and singing "The Rainbow Connection" and us joining in after the key change.
I tear up just hearing The Rainbow Connection anywhere; this would have made me a bawling wreck.
I took a ballroom dance class in college and we often waltzed to The Rainbow Connection. I teared up every. single. time.
It was so lovely to be able to see a little glimpse on the Internet. It looked like such a perfect day for them
Agreeeeed
Cops make my clit run and hide behind my kidney, but I will allow that he has a very fine doggo. Thank you for showing him to us!
I always feel bad for cop doggos, they would absolutely refuse to participate if they understood about the carceral state.
Doggos deserve good jobs! Working dogs are always so happy. 💖
GOOD JOBS FOR DOGGOS is my campaign slogan.
Dogs are like people they get so much joy from feeling needed.
I am in Utah! I am about to ski! For the first time in 15 years, my best friend is going to laugh a lot.

suddenly i’m a dog
I got a miniature kit for Christmas & I finished it today! I’m thinking about designing & selling my own dioramas now. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6oonHYlOkc/?igshid=1h7z0h7eqr3rr
Oh Nicole! You probably get Texas Monthly, but if you don't this story will make you cry happy tears. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/miss-girard-first-christmas-autistic-student/?utm_campaign=This%20Week%20in%20Texas%20-%20Editorial&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=81298867&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_FJAFCwyIzd26WLMdI6xpUspnmOzmS1iItSfWs2RAoh_otdu3szroN0j4Vw98ViXIUe1l4Dr1QTONwoD1WIo7fBaFVBQ&_hsmi=81298869
Is that a Malinois or is it a Terverun
Had a lovely Christmas where we stayed home (both of our parents live 2+ flights away) and then went to our friends gathering, who then gave us PLENTY of leftovers to eat in the coming days! It’s supposed to get very very cold so here’s hoping a trip to hot springs is in our future!
