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.

I just! What is he doing at the gym? How much is genetic? Is he a living Tom of a Finland drawing?

Also, I am amazed that his uniform can accommodate both dat ass and his trim waist simultaneously.

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.

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.

Is this praxis?

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.

(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!

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!!

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

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.

Some racist a**holes have taught me that you can find someone sexy without respecting them at all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
