Wednesday - Twin PlaguesIn a long and emotionally exhausting year of being inside (alone, in my case,) I have found myself thinking about mirrors. How to avoid spending too much time in them, most days. Taking inventory of the real, physical self is difficult work, work that I'm not entirely opposed to but work that became immediately more treacherous for me when I had to witness the very real toll that time, modern anxieties, isolation, and boredom were taking on me.

In a long and emotionally exhausting year of being inside (alone, in my case,) I have found myself thinking about mirrors. How to avoid spending too much time in them, most days. Taking inventory of the real, physical self is difficult work, work that I'm not entirely opposed to but work that became immediately more treacherous for me when I had to witness the very real toll that time, modern anxieties, isolation, and boredom were taking on me. It was easier, it seemed, to spiral into a not-so-distant glorious past, to use memory as a tool of both excitement and healing. But, speaking of excitement, I like to stumble towards a band with no agenda, no purpose, uncovering sound almost on accident. This is how I first heard Wednesday. The band came to me and I don't remember how, or why. They simply arrived, as if we'd been traveling toward each other our whole lives. I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone soaked into my summer of 2020, and in sound, in spirit, in central concerns and the execution of them, it took me back to an era before the current era, which I'd needed at the time. The past can feel less hellish than the present if we are, sometimes, not fully honest with ourselves. There is the trick of nostalgia that I spend a lot of time playing with in my own writing, and somewhat tormented by in my own living. The very real idea that nostalgia is both a useful tool and also a weapon if it isn't paired with something that approaches a type of rigorous honesty. But if I may go back to all of these ideas of nostalgia and our old, tricky, past selves that are, indeed, a part of the house of bricks that make up our present self, what I also hope you, listener, might adore about this album is the exact moment at the start of "The Burned Down Dairy Queen" when Karly sings I was hiding in a room in my mind / and I made me take a look at myself. Because if you, like me, have been avoiding mirrors - both metaphorical and real - this is where the album becomes a lighthouse, echoing bright across the darkness of my otherwise dark and empty chambers. So much of these songs meditate on the past in far less romantic ways than I have found myself meditating on the past, and I was desperate for the recalibration that this album provided. So, yes, the songs are good. You will maybe roll down your windows on a comfortable day on the right stretch of road in a warm season and turn the volume up when "Birthday Song" gets good and loud and singalong-able. You might sit atop a rooftop at night, closer to the moon than you were on the ground, and let "Ghost Of A Dog" churn and rattle you to some nighttime realization that you couldn't have had in silence. But, even on top of all of this, on top of all the pleasures and the mercies that the sounds on this album might afford. I hope and think, too, that it will remind anyone who listens that we are a collection of many reflections. All of them deserving patience. -Hanif Abdurraqib

Set name: 8 Pack Plush Squeaky Toys
My dog has a very small mouth and she loves these these because she can actually play with them. They are sturdy, soft, squeaker works well, and a good variety of shapes and colors. Would purchase again and recommend.

Great deal!
We bought these right after we adopted our puppy. This bundle is a great value and has a good assortment of toys. The only ones that didn’t last were the three soft plastic “teething” rings/triangle. He was able to chew them apart very quickly so we just threw them away. But other than that, he loves the squeaker toys, the rope toys, the ball, and the ball you can hide treats in. His favorite is the crinkle fox! It was the first toy we gave him upon coming home with us and it’s been his baby. Eventually he chewed off the ears and feet but he still plays fetch with the Fox worm. LOL! The rope toys are great for teething as well and he enjoys chasing them. The 4 rolls of poop bags were a great bonus as well! I’m so happy we brought this and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a variety of dog/puppy toys for a good price. The squeaker toys are also super cute. I love the banana and the avacado.

Great selection for price
This is a great set for puppies or small dogs. It has a variety of toys to keep teething puppy mouths and minds busy and not chewing on things you would prefer they don’t chew like furniture and shoes. There are crinkle toys, toys with squeakers, tug rope toys, several balls made from different types of material, rubbery chew toys, and the poo baggies are nice with cute paw prints. It is a great choice for the price as well.
