Do you or someone you know want a dog?! MEET FREDDIE 😍
Freddie the Yeti Alfredo Spaghetti Mercury Freeman Prinze Jr is a sweet & affectionate 45 pound cuddle buddy who loves being pet and snuggled more than just about anything... except maybe chasing the ball, learning new tricks, solving puzzle toys, playing with other dogs at the dog park, and snoozing around the house while his foster mom @estrellaurel works from home. Since we started fostering him through the West LA shelter (#A225116) 8 weeks ago, Freddie has been coexisting exceptionally well with four year old human Leo, but their two little bodies keep bumping into one another in ways that don’t feel totally safe and Freddie’s trainer has agreed that it will be best for everyone to move him to a house without small children 🥺 He is housebroken, well on his way to being crate-trained, and learning lots of useful commands for the barrier frustration/leash reactivity he seems to have brought along with him from his previous street life. This beautiful and super-soft guy is only about 14 months old and ready to spend a long and happy life of love and learning with his forever family. Don’t delay adopt Freddie today! #losangelesrescuedogs #larescuedogs #adoptadog #rescuedogsofinstagram #FreddieFreeman
Welp, the Magic Power Family Hour sold out the Elysian Theater again. So crazy… it’s almost as if gathering together to experience art and redistribute resources is the WHOLE ENTIRE POINT of EVERYTHING!

Lotta crap going on in the world, come to our show at the @elysiantheater one month from today! Dr. Butler and Boopy present The Magic Power Family Hour: A late-nite-style variety show for parents of young children and their children. Saturday September 27th at 5pm LINK IN BIO ✨ Tix are def gonna sell out so snag yours today.
The Magic Power Family Hour is the children’s entertainment extravaganza that you, millennial parent, didn’t know you desperately needed. 5:00 pm on Saturday, that notorious dead zone in the weekend-in-the-life of a parent, transforms into a hilarious, participatory, kid-friendly but parent-savvy spectacle modeled off of your favorite late-nite talk show!
Hosted by Dr. Laurel Butler on piano, alongside her beloved sidekick Boopy the irreverent puppet, the Magic Power Family Hour whisks audiences of all ages through a whiz-bang hour of fun, including: The Gentle Parenting X Games! The Potty Training Olympics! Plus special guest stars, talent showcases, Boopy’s infamous banter, and lots of improv and surprises.
Sesame Street meets SNL / Weirdo Night meets Ms. Rachel / Pee-Wee’s Playhouse meets Recess Therapy / Bob Baker Day meets The Tonight Show / you get the idea. Most importantly, parents of young children get an hour of music, comedy, and avant-pop entertainment specially crafted to be developmentally appropriate for little kiddos, culturally relevant for parents, and hilarious for both.

Published my last Substack post today, at least for the time being. It’s been one calendar year of Against Listlessness and I have learned so much: about writing and style, about myself and this fkd-up moment we’re living through, about noticing and cataloguing as spiritual practice, about the power of monetizing one’s hobby to redirect funds towards a cause. Thank you so much to my paid subscribers for having raised $4,000 for the children and families of 🇵🇸 - all posts are now open and free to read in their entirety at postman.substack.com
